SUMMARY:Irreversible - Manifestations of Change Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:The Baltic Sea Region is an area where changes mostly occur within a set of intertwining transregional parameters. By focusing on the aftereffects of transformations\, this joint lecture series inquires about processes that lack the chance of a turn-around: from a single event to a concatenation of circumstances leading to an unforeseeable outcome. It can be difficult to draw a line between the permanent and the transient\, but there are\, certainly\, damages or developments that are irreversible\, in terms of material loss or environmental change. At the same time\, the very idea of irreversibility has to be processed in language and media; it is part of a discourse and thus of history. In literary theory\, the term ‘peripety’ signifies a reversal of action: How do narrations model and maybe alter the irreversible? How do geopolitical tipping points affect subsequent generations? In taking historico-political\, narrative\, ecological\, material\, and aesthetic changes into consideration\, this summer term program seeks to bring conceptional clarifications\, concrete case studies from a broad range of disciplines and regional studies approaches together. \n\n\n\nOrganisation and moderation: \n\n\n\nDr. des.

SUMMARY:Stillness in Motion: Photography as a Moving Image
DESCRIPTION:While photography and film share a common genesis\, they diverge in matters of temporality\, conceptuality\, and objecthood. The film theorist Christian Metz (1985) states that photography belongs inextricably to the past\, while film always seems to unfold in the present tense. Also\, photography is a fixed image and a fixed object\, while film is a virtual\, immaterial\, projection. \n\n\n\nWhereas such differences may seem conflicting\, both photographers and filmmakers have been finding paths to explore the ‘in-betweenness’\, inquiring what Raymond Bellour (2002) defines as a space “L’Entre Images”. Chris Marker\, Agnés Varda\, Abbas Kiarostami\, William Klein\, Susana de Sousa Dias\, just to name a few\, have been exploring this intersection\, either by using photographs to build cinematic narratives\, fixing them in time and granting them a certain temporality\, or by freezing film frames\, replacing the cinematographic flow by the photographic instant. \n\n\n\nIn this workshop\, the participants will be challenged to explore the intersection between photography and film\, having a picture as a point of departure to develop a short film. Throughout 5 sessions\, they will approach the topic both theoretically and practically\, exploring the photographic off-screen\, with weekly exercises that will contribute to the development of the final film. In every session\, there will be time for presenting and discussing the participant’s exercises. \n\n\n\nSESSION 1 |  MAY 4\, 2022 | 5:00pm – 8:00pm WEST — REFLECTIONS ON PHOTOGRAPHY: Reading images\, thinking through images \n\n\n\nSESSION 2 | MAY 11\, 2022 | 5:00pm – 8:00pm WEST — THE PHOTOGRAPHIC OFF-SCREEN: Time\, space\, sound \n\n\n\nSESSION 3 | MAY 18\, 2022 | 5:00pm – 8:00pm WEST — STILLNESS IN MOTION: Photography as a moving image \n\n\n\nSESSION 4 | MAY 25\, 2022 | 5:00pm – 8:00pm WEST — ASSEMBLAGE: Creating filmic matter \n\n\n\nSESSION 5 | JUNE 01\, 2022 | 5:00pm – 8:00pm WEST — PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION OF THE FINAL WORKS \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEnrollment fee: €250

SUMMARY:A Collective Address to Death: Graduate Conference
DESCRIPTION:The Ohio State University Comparative Studies Department will host a Spring graduate conference on May 13th-14th\, 2022. This conference aims to extend the conversations generated through a graduate seminar centered on Religion\, Medicine\, and the Body to scholars across disciplines\, by providing an opportunity to collectively address themes of death\, dying\, and what comes after. \n\n\n\nCommunities address death and afterlife in various ways. Political violence and responsive protests\, wars\, mass shootings\, the prison industrial complex\, dysfunctional medical support systems\, increasing rates of extinction\, and of course\, the COVID-19 pandemic have made death a hot topic of discussion. This conference aims to bring different approaches to death into conversation with one another to broaden collective knowledges and further develop interdisciplinary perspectives on this topic. As such\, the event invites scholars from different fields including\, but not limited to\, cultural studies\, sociology\,history\, political science\, anthropology\, religious studies\, gender studies\, race studies\, and otherhumanities fields. \n\n\n\nFor more information\, contact organizer Daisy Ahlstone. \n\n\n\nSubmit proposals by February 28\, 2022.

SUMMARY:The Politics of the Page: Visuality and Materiality in Illustrated Periodicals across Cold War Borders
DESCRIPTION:Illustrated periodicals have played a critical role in disseminating and performing Cold War cultural politics across national and ideological borders. In their entanglement with state or institutional actors\, artistic or sports organizations\, revolutionary groups and liberation movements\, amongst others\, periodicals have shaped notions of belonging for diverse readers\, expressed in a host of visual and material formats. \n\n\n\nThe workshop will focus on the design and materiality of illustrated periodicals produced and read against the backdrop of the Cold War. We invite contributions that explore aesthetic\, historical\, theoretical or methodological approaches to the ‘politics of the page’. We are interested in periodicals’ visual and material strategies as these manifest in the layout\, typography\, uses of photography\, choices of format\, ways of production\, reproduction or circulation\, during the Cold War.  \n\n\n\nThe workshop aim is twofold: to contribute towards a cross- and trans-disciplinary international network of researchers on Cold War illustrated periodicals and\, to produce a scholarly volume on the subject.

SUMMARY:Property and Being under Colonial Conditions in Africa and Asia
DESCRIPTION:Scholars have long proposed that property is as much about relationships between people as it is about the ownership of “things.” It is about both belonging\, and belongings. Property offers a window onto contestations over power\, social relations\, resources\, identity and political imagination. Histories of property in Asia and Africa\, in particular\, are intertwined with histories of colonial expansion\, the emergence of new forms of state power\, the creation of new categories/taxonomies of governance\, the appropriation of indigenous lands\, the reordering of social relations\, and new or reworked imaginaries of property. \n\n\n\nThe purpose of this interdisciplinary conference\, “Property and Being under Colonial Conditions in Asia and Africa\,” is to explore how comparing intellectual\, cultural\, social\, political-economic\, and legal histories of property from African and Asian colonial contexts may help us rethink ideas about land\, ownership\, dispossession\, rights\, credit\, subjectivities\, and political imaginations. Participants will engage with the historically sedimented entanglements of colonial policy and indigenous practices\, developmentalist desires\, and cultural and climatic change.  \n\n\n\nConversations across these regions may thus enable new understandings of property histories. Relevant questions include: how did diverse colonial conditions across Africa and Asia produce distinct logics of property and ownership rooted in racial\, ethnic\, caste\, and gendered ideologies? To what extent did vernacular ideas about property and ownership shape the trajectories of colonial/post-colonial state-making? Indigenous community-building and claim-making? How have liberal ideologies of property\, ownership and personhood shaped histories of the emergence of racialized regimes in different colonial contexts?  \n\n\n\n\nRead more here
