CMNH PG Conference

Time, Memory and Conflict: Critical Approaches

Friday 6th July, 9:30am - 5pm, M2, Grand Parade, University of Brighton


An interdisciplinary, one-day conference at the University of Brighton

Research on the complex inter–relations between past, present and future in the time after political violence often leads us to question and push the boundaries of established theories and methods. Increasingly, work in this area reflects a critical awareness of the different modalities of time and memory within and across various post-conflict contexts. That being said, more can be done to further methodological and theoretical links between different approaches to studying time, memory and conflict. This can take the form of research into unexplored contexts, or critical reflections on established frameworks and debates.

Bringing together scholars from an array of different intellectual fields, this conference aims to encourage a set of conversations on how we might approach and understand the multi-directional interplay between experiences and representations of a 'past' that in many ways is not 'over', but which overshadows the present and complicates the imagining of the future. Key questions and areas of exploration are: What are the ethical and political commitments of research in post-conflict contexts? How does this research relate to questions of positionality? How might new research areas or critical reflections on established practical and theoretical approaches further our understanding of time, memory and conflict?

International Conference "Curiosity and Commitment: Cultural/Social Sciences and the Transformation of European Universities"

*Curiosity and Commitment *

*Cultural/Social Sciences and the Transformation of European Universities*

*A celebratory symposium for Helmut Eberhart*



*18 –19 October 2018, Graz, Austria*



*The international symposium addresses political transformations within
universities and their influence on academic everyday spaces, working
strategies and research motives from the 1970s to the present day.
Centrally the focus will be on investigating how the use of scientific
curiosity and responsibility in various European countries has been, and
will be, shaped by changed policies concerning university teaching,
research and funding. On the other hand, the question of how the potential
of a curious, socially responsible research can be used to productively
confront and counteract power-political transformations will be pursued.
Special attention will be paid to the transformation of European
universities into competitive enterprises in the global knowledge society
and to the conceptualization of knowledge production as an economic
activity and political tool. Keynote speeches and lectures will provide an
exploration into the heterogeneous university landscape of Europe with
insights into local as well as superregional challenges in the context of
"Maastricht", "Bologna" and the discussions about the neo-liberalization of
European universities. In the field of tension between "curiosity-driven
research" and "research driven by funding policy", the conference also
explicitly addresses the situation of teaching, and of young scientists in
an international context. *

*The reason for the symposium is the retirement of Prof. Dr. Helmut
Eberhart in autumn 2018. The scientific and university-political aspects of
an academic biography, living between curiosity and mission, prescribe the
temporal, thematic and sociopolitical guidelines of the conference.*



*All lectures will be simultaneously translated into English/German.*
