Join us for a celebratory drink marking the publication of The Exceptional North: Past and Present Perspectives on Nordicness, edited by Robert W. Rix, Eva-Lena Bergström, Cian Duffy, and Merethe Roos. Bringing together 19 Nordic researchers, the book explores how the idea of ‘Nordic exceptionalism’ has taken shape from the eighteenth century to today, revealing how external perceptions and Nordic self-representations have jointly shaped this influential concept. It shows that idealisation and critique have always coexisted, and that the Nordic countries have long been viewed – and have viewed themselves – as a distinct cultural unit. The book is an open-access publication available. Read the book. The editors will offer a brief presentation of the book, after which we will continue with an informal celebration. All are welcome."

"Anomalies in Translation: Heine&#8217;s reading of A. W. Schlegel&#8217;s Shakespeare";"<a href=""https://cemes.ku.dk/research/thinking-the-european-republic-of-letters/""> Thinking the European Republic of Letters</a>";"2025-11-24";"16:00";"";"17:30";"South Campus, room 24.2.11";"Seminar with Nicola Alessio Sarracco.";"Seminar with Nicola Alessio Sarracco. Heine’s engagement with A. W. Schlegel’s theory of translation, in its broad sense, can already be observed in his early years. While studying law at the University of Bonn, he also attended the lectures of Schlegel who started to support his formation as a poet. Interestingly, it is in this very same time that Heine worked at his first translations from Lord Byron, a work that he seemingly initiated under the suggestion of Schlegel. In his mature works, however, Heine’s attitude towards his teacher’s thoughts on translation is marked by an ambivalent tone. In Die romantische Schule (1836) and later in Shakespeares Mädchen und Frauen (1838), it is the approach to the translation of Shakespeare that becomes object of his critical remarks. On one side, Heine sets out to uncover the hidden polemical objectives (“polemischen Zwecken” [1836] 1976, 21) inspiring his Shakespeare’s translations, seen as the culmination of early German Romanticism’s cultural-political strategy. Far from being motivated by an interest in the dramatist, these pursued in his view the objective to diffuse an image of Shakespeare as model of romantic aesthetic ideals. On the other, Heine’s criticism of A. W. Schlegel rests on deeper divergences regarding the interpretation of Shakespeare’s language. Whereas in the romantic period it was mainly underlined and revaluated the art of Shakespeare’s plays, Heine places the emphasis on passages that emerge as fragmentary pieces that break with the development and structure of his works. The new task he assigns to the translator of Shakespeare is therefore to render those sudden moments (“Plötzlichkeiten” 1988, 154) in Shakespeare’s plays that have the capacity to unsettle the reader. Yet, what it also emerges from these remarks is that Heine characterises these passages as those in which the singularity of Shakespeare’s language becomes manifest – as anomalies when compared with the “Theatersprache” ([1838] 1978, 22) of his time. By deepening these two interconnected aspects of Heine’s remarks, the seminar will seek to explore also their broader implications for the relationship between the history of philology and literature in the 19th century. Moderator: Christian Benne. Bio Nicola Alessio Sarracco completed his Ph.D. in Jewish Studies at Freie Universität Berlin. His main research interests lie in German Romantic literature and philosophy, German-Jewish culture, the history of philology, and translation theory. Since September 2025, he has been conducting a postdoctoral research project titled Transient Traditions: Philology and Translation from Friedrich Schlegel to Gershom Scholem within the framework of the Walter Benjamin Fellowship program (DFG). Based at the University of Copenhagen, his project investigates the evolution of German Romantic theories of philology and translation within the German-Jewish context between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Building on the specific dynamics that shape the interactions between these two epochs, the project seeks also to investigate broader cultural and theoretical questions tied to the transmission of literary, religious, and philosophical traditions in modernity.

Det ”nye” bestod i mindre grad i de intellektuelle bestræbelser, distancen til den nazistiske fortid og orienteringen mod Europa, og i højere grad i en selektiv brug af venstreorienterede diskurser og aktionsformer. En af nøglefigurerne i den moderniseringsproces var sportshistorikeren og sociologen Henning Eichberg (1942-2017). Med sin provokante terminologi, utallige publikationer og tilstedeværelse i den offentlige debat formåede Henning Eichberg at iscenesætte nationalismen som en subkulturel og revolutionær kamp både mod USA og Sovjetunionen og søgte dermed bred politisk tilslutning. Hans teori om ”etnopluralisme” havde til formål at legitimere en kulturel racisme uden ordet ”race” og styrke en ”national identitet” blandt de forskellige europæiske nationer. I 1982 flyttede han til Danmark og i sin egen optik som en vandrer fra højre- til venstrefløjen blev han i 1994 medlem af Socialistisk Folkeparti (SF). Et umiddelbart paradoks, der dog illustrerer, hvordan Henning Eichberg som en slags seismograf registrerede og absorberede strømninger fra både højre- og venstrefløjen, tilpassede dem alt efter omgivelserne og integrerede sin ideologi i den internationale, politiske udvikling.

";"Public PhD defence by Kristian Olesen Toft. Read thesis (pdf). Abstract The dissertation The Question of Translation in the Seminar of Jacques Derrida traces theoretical and practical questions of translation as they arise in five unpublished seminars by French philosopher Jacques Derrida, held between 1979/80 and 1986/87. It offers close readings of unpublished seminar manuscripts in a general investigation of what it means to ask: “What is translation?” The Introduction argues that the singular nature of this question calls for an approach which is not simply theoretical, before providing a general overview of Derrida’s work on translation. Each subsequent chapter focuses on an unpublished seminar, often in comparison with published texts based on the manuscripts. Chapter I is a close reading of Derrida’s 1979/80 seminar Le concept de la littérature comparée et les problèmes théoriques de la traduction, and the published essay Des tours de Babel, a revision of the final sessions of the seminar. The seminar concerns the status of comparative literature and the role of translation, before offering detailed readings of the Biblical story of Babel and Benjamin’s Die Aufgabe des Übersetzers. Chapter II turns to the 1981/82 seminar La langue et le discours de la méthode, and two published essays, S’il y a lieu de traduire I-II, based upon several of its sessions. Dedicated to language and method in Descartes and Spinoza, the seminar touches upon the relation of method and translation, including the dream of a truly philosophical language, distinct from all natural languages, as well as the structure of the text of philosophy as a remainder after a necessarily false start. Chapter III considers the 1984/85 seminar Le fantôme de l’autre, the first in a series on Nationalité et nationalisme philosophiques. It treats the idiom in philosophy and the relation between philosophy and nationalism, with Fichte’s philosophical nationalism as an enigmatic paradigm. This lays the ground for the second half of the seminar, published as Geschlecht II-III, whose discussions of reading, idiom, and nationalism is treated in detail with respect to Heidegger, in particular. Chapter IV treats the 1985/86 seminar Mythos, logos, topos, the second on Nationalité et nationalisme philosophiques, which provides an elaborate discussion of the Greek word khōra as it appears in Plato’s Timaeus, including the paradoxes in the reception history of khōra as itself a universal receptacle. On the basis of extensive archival research, the chapter offers a reconstruction of the seminar, the manuscripts of which differ significantly from Derrida’s other seminars. Finally, Chapter V turns to Derrida’s 1986/87 seminar Le théologico-politique, the third on Nationalité et nationalisme philosophiques, and the published essay Les yeux de la langue, based on three of its sessions. It considers sacred language and its possible secularization according to a series of primarily German Jewish authors: Spinoza, Rosenzweig, Scholem, and Mendelssohn. Running through the seminar is a terrible ambiguity of deconstruction, brought out exemplarily in these thinkers, caught as they are in a system of language, politics, religion, and Enlightenment. Resumé (in Danish) Afhandlingen The Question of Translation in the Seminar of Jacques Derrida undersøger teoretiske og praktiske spørgsmål vedrørende oversættelse, sådan som de opstår i fem uudgivne forelæsningsrækker afholdt af den franske filosof Jacques Derrida mellem 1979/80 og 1986/87. Afhandlingen består af nærlæsninger af forelæsningsmanuskripter i en overordnet undersøgelse af, hvad det vil sige at stille spørgsmålet: “Hvad er oversættelse?” Introduktionen argumenterer for, at dette spørgsmål fordrer en tilgang, der ikke kun er teoretisk, og giver dernæst et generelt overblik over Derridas arbejde med oversættelsesspørgsmål. Hvert af de efterfølgende kapitler fokuserer på et uudgivet seminar, ofte sammenholdt med udgivne tekster baseret på manuskripterne. Kapitel I er en nærlæsning af Derridas seminar fra 1979/80, Le concept de la littérature comparée et les problèmes théoriques de la traduction, samt det udgivne essay Des tours de Babel, en bearbejdelse af dets afsluttende forelæsninger. Seminaret behandler den videnskabelige status af sammenlignende litteraturhistorie samt oversættelsens rolle heri, før det byder på udførlige læsninger af den bibelske fortælling om Babel og Walter Benjamins Die Aufgabe des Übersetzers. Kapitel II angår forelæsningsrækken fra 1981/82, La langue et le discours de la méthode, samt de udgivne artikler S’il y a lieu de traduire I-II, der er baseret på flere sessioner. Seminaret er helligt sprog og metode hos René Descartes og Baruch de Spinoza og berører forholdet mellem metode og oversættelse, herunder drømmen om et i sandhed filosofisk sprog, distinkt fra alle naturlige sprog, samt den filosofiske teksts struktur som en rest efter en nødvendigvis fejlslagen begyndelse. Kapitel III behandler seminaret fra 1984/85, Le fantôme de l’autre, det første i en flerårig række om Nationalité et nationalisme philosophiques. Det undersøger idiomets funktion i filosofien samt forholdet mellem filosofi og nationalisme, med Johann Gottlob Fichtes filosofiske nationalisme som et gådefuldt paradigme. På dette grundlag fortsætter seminarets anden halvdel, udgivet som Geschlecht II-III, hvis diskussioner om læsning, idiomer og nationalisme behandles indgående med særligt henblik på Martin Heidegger. Kapitel IV omhandler seminaret fra 1985/86, Mythos, logos, topos, det andet i serien Nationalité et nationalisme philosophiques, der indeholder en udførlig diskussion af det græske chora, som det forekommer i Platons Timaios. Spørgsmålet om, hvordan og hvorvidt ordet kan oversættes, belyses ved de paradokser, der præger receptionshistorien af chora som det alment reciperende. På grundlag af arkivarbejde rekonstrueres seminaret, hvis manuskripter er i en væsentligt anden stand end Derridas øvrige. Endelig vender Kapitel V sig mod Derridas seminar fra 1986/87, Le théologico-politique, det tredje om Nationalité et nationalisme philosophiques, samt essayet Les yeux de la langue, der er baseret på tre af dets forelæsninger. Her behandles sprogets hellighed og dets mulige sekularisering med udgangspunkt i en række fortrinsvis tysk-jødiske tænkere: Spinoza, Moses Mendelssohn, Franz Rosenzweig og Gershom Scholem. I løbet af seminaret antydes en foruroligende tvetydighed i dekonstruktionen, der på eksemplarisk vis melder sig hos disse forfattere, fanget, som de er, i et system af sprog, politik, religion og oplysning.

Abstract In a world marked by increasing interconnectedness and complex cultural dynamics, the spheres of family, school, and community no longer function in isolation. Instead, they form overlapping dimensions that reflect and influence educational theory and practice. The talk will introduce my recent book publication. It offers a collection of perspectives that challenge monolithic understandings of education and open space for a truly pluriversal dialogue. The idea of the “pluriverse”, a term that signals the coexistence of multiple, equally valid ways of knowing and being, is a call to educators, researchers, and practitioners to engage with diversity not as an obstacle, but as a resource. The contributions within the volume explore how educational practices are shaped by cultural context, community engagement, technological innovation, and evolving understandings of pedagogy and identity. The volume is structured around two central themes: Teaching and Learning in a Multilingual and Multicultural World, and Social Issues Concerning Education. From personality traits that influence teaching style, to the role of digital parenting, faith-based perspectives on inclusion, or critiques of institutional schooling, the diversity of topics underscores a shared commitment to rethinking education for the 21st century. Education in the pluriverse is not about conformity; it is about embracing difference, navigating complexity, and working together toward equity, inclusion, and human flourishing.

"Between Flame and Filament: Lighting and Romantic Emotions in French Literature (1838-1913)";"Department of English, Germanic and Romance Studies";"2025-10-21";"14:00";"";"";"South Campus, room 22.0.11 (auditorium)";"PhD defence by Joanna Beaufoy.";"PhD defence by Joanna Beaufoy. Abstract The role of light in ideas about knowledge has been fundamental in intellectual discourse through history, where light is a metaphor but also a medium, a sign and a topos of knowledge. Light and emotion, however, is less explored, even though this relationship is captured in expressions and figures of speech across languages. In an era of unprecedented exposure to artificial light through personal screen use, and new understanding about the effects of different qualities of lighting on the body’s endocrine system, the interplay between light and our emotions has recently gained special relevance, although this is little explored in literature. This thesis reads literature in French published during the era beginning with the first mass gaslit street lighting in Paris, until the time when electricity was established as the dominant lighting technology. In four articles and a synopsis, it investigates how the possibility of lighting with candles, oil and petrol lamps, gas and electricity at different points in the nineteenth century influenced literary evocations of romantic emotions. This lighting age saw unprecedented technical innovations, seeing oil lanterns supplanted with mass public gas street lighting, then electric lighting between the early 1840s and the early 1910s. Taking as primary sources works of French literature published between 1838 and 1913, this thesis analyses literary uses of these technologies through both distant and close readings. The final article of this thesis contributes towards the discussion of the implications of analysing historical texts using digital humanities methods. This article engages with Large Language Models, the models used in chatbots, to critically evaluate whether these tools can be useful in exploring the history of emotions in literature. Results suggest that, while there was a peak in uses of literary lighting to articulate what I denote as ‘loving feelings’ around 1900, there was another peak in late Romanticism. This connects with the analysis presented in the second article, where illuminated darkness as a setting to stage emotional states is explored from the early to the late nineteenth century. Therefore, while literary lighting was a device affected by technological change, evolutions in literary conventions were just as important. This research contributes missing technical context to readings of illuminated literary scenes, bringing us closer to an understanding of how lighting was employed as a device in literature, imbuing writing with sensual and emotional charge. Critically evaluating different ways of approaching emotions and lighting together, it contributes to the wider discussion about reading literature through histories of technology. Resumé (in Danish) Lysets rolle i ideer om viden har været grundlæggende i den intellektuelle diskurs gennem historien, hvor lyset er en metafor, men også et medium, et tegn og en topos for viden. Lys og følelser er dog mindre udforsket, selv om dette forholdet mellem de to er indfanget i udtryk og talemåder på tværs af sprog. I en tid med en hidtil uset eksponering for kunstigt lys gennem personlig brug af skærme og ny viden om virkningerne af forskellige lyskvaliteter på kroppens hormonsystem har samspillet mellem lys og vores følelser for nylig fået særlig relevans, selv om det er meget lidt udforsket i litteraturen. Denne afhandling gennemgår fransksproget litteratur udgivet i perioden fra den første masseoplyste gadebelysning i Paris og frem til det tidspunkt, hvor elektricitet blev etableret som den dominerende belysningsteknologi. I fire artikler og en synopsis undersøges det, hvordan muligheden for belysning med stearinlys, olie- og petroleumslamper, gas og elektricitet på forskellige tidspunkter i det nittende århundrede påvirkede litterære fremkaldelser af romantiske følelser. Belysning var i denne periodegenstand for hidtil usete tekniske innovationer, hvor olielamper blev erstattet af offentlig gadebelysning med gas og derefter elektrisk belysning mellem begyndelsen af 1840'erne og begyndelsen af 1910'erne. Med værker fra fransk litteratur udgivet mellem 1838 og 1913 som primære kilder analyserer denne afhandling den litterære brug af disse teknologier gennem både fjern- og nærlæsning. Den sidste artikel i denne afhandling bidrager til diskussionen om konsekvenserne af at analysere historiske tekster ved hjælp af metoder fra digital humaniora. Denne artikel beskæftiger sig med Large Language Models, de modeller, der bruges i chatbots, for kritisk at vurdere, om disse værktøjer kan være nyttige i udforskningen af følelsernes historie i litteraturen. Resultaterne tyder på, at mens der var et højdepunkt omkring 1900 i brugen af litterær belysning til at formulere, hvad jeg betegner som »kærlige følelser«, var der et andet højdepunkt i senromantikken. Dette hænger sammen med analysen i den anden artikel, hvor oplyst mørke som ramme for iscenesættelse af følelsesmæssige tilstande undersøges fra begyndelsen til slutningen af det nittende århundrede. Så selvom litterær belysning var et redskab, der blev påvirket af teknologiske forandringer, var udviklingen i litterære konventioner lige så vigtig. Denne forskning bidrager med en manglende teknisk kontekst til læsninger af oplyste litterære scener og bringer os tættere på en forståelse af, hvordan belysning blev brugt som et virkemiddel i litteraturen og gav skriften en sanselig og følelsesmæssig ladning. Ved kritisk at evaluere forskellige tilgange til følelser og belysning, bidrager den til den bredere diskussion om at læse litteratur gennem teknologiens historier.

Abstract When feminist critics around the turn of the millennium examined the accounts of the 20th century. century feminism, the 1970s stood out as a central period for feminist thought and activism, but also as the focal point of a generational conflict. Although the 2020s are a time when the feminist breakthrough of the 1970s moves from being contemporary history to becoming part of the archive, the period is still a contentious historical chapter. The overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022 is a key example of how the fruit of 1970s feminist activism is being rolled back in the United States today. In France, on the other hand, 2024 was the year when the law that gave the right to free abortion, the 'loi de Veil' from 1975, was written into the French constitution. It is in the context of these Franco-American exchanges in feminist theory and history that this dissertation explores how the feminist French seventies are remembered today. Taking up Mark Fisher’s exhortation to ”forget” the seventies, in this dissertation, I re-read philosophical and political texts of the period and unfold how the reception of these texts gives resonance in discussions about sex and gender today. The primary contribution from this dissertation lies in three articles, in which I open the archive that has become known as ”French feminism” in different ways. Going back to the starting point of texts central to this Franco-American phenomenon, the articles ”Collectivity and Feminist History: Situating Luce Irigaray” and ”Solidarity in Writing: Reading MLF Literature as Collective Practice” feminist texts from the late 1970s, which have traveled from French to English, examines what has been lost in translation from one language to another. In both of these articles, I go to the archive and uncover the compositional histories of the key texts. In addition, I draw on Latour and queer theory when I unfold how feminist key texts have travelled across time and place. With the third article, ”Longing for Sexual Revolution: The French Seventies in Berlant and Emaux”, I enter another archive where the feminist French seventies occupy a lot of space: the American cultural criticism and French literature of my own time. I argue that the French Seventies – and the idea of radical sex that we associate with that time – is not conditioned by bodily memories. Rather, I suggest that the French Seventies act as a kickstarter for utopian thinking today, both in the United States and in France. A recurring element in this discussion is a discussion of the political and social functions of texts. Drawing on theories from translation studies, as well as actor-network theory and feminist (counter)publics, I argue that my selected texts are part of both academic and political-activist discourses. I discuss how texts from and about the feminist French seventies create connections across time and place by performing the collectivity they thematise. I suggest that by ”forgetting” the feminist French seventies, we can recreate the vision of writing as political, which today still resonates with the French philosophy and feminist thinking of the 1970s. Resumé Da feministiske kritikere omkring årtusindskiftet gjorde regnskabet for det 20. århundredes feminisme op, stak 1970’erne ud som en central periode for feministisk tankevirksomhed og aktivisme, men også som omdrejningspunktet for en generationskonflikt. Selv om 2020’erne er en tid, hvor 1970’ernes feministiske gennembrud bevæger sig fra at være samtidshistorie og til at blive en del af arkivet, er perioden stadig et omstridt historisk kapitel. Omstødelsen af Roe v. Wade i 2022 er et nøgleeksempel på, hvordan frugten af 1970’ernes feministiske aktivisme i dag bliver rullet tilbage i USA. I Frankrig derimod var 2024 året, hvor loven, der gav ret til fri abort, ’loi de Veil’ fra 1975, blev skrevet ind in den franske forfatning. Det er i konteksten af disse fransk-amerikanske udvekslinger i feministisk teori og historie, at denne ph.d.-afhandling udforsker, hvordan de feministiske franske halvfjerdsere bliver husket idag. Idet jeg tager Mark Fishers udfordring om at ”afglemme” halvfjerdserne op, genlæser jeg i denne afhandling filosofiske og politiske tekster fra perioden og udfolder, hvordan modtagelsen af disse tekster giver genlyd i diskussioner om sex og køn idag. Det primære bidrag fra denne afhandling ligger i tre artikler, hvor jeg ad forskellige veje åbner det arkiv, som er blevet kendt som ”French feminism”. Ved at gå tilbage til udgangspunktet for tekster, som er centrale for dette fransk-amerikanske fænomen, følger artiklerne ”Collectivity and Feminist History: Situating Luce Irigaray” og ”Solidarity in Writing: Reading MLF Literature as Collective Practice” feministiske tekster fra slutningen af 1970’erne, som har rejst fra fransk til engelsk, og undersøger, hvad der er gået tabt i oversættelsen fra et sprog et sted til et andet. I begge disse artikler går jeg til arkivet og afdækker nøgleteksternes kompositionshistorier. Derudover trækker jeg på Latour og queer­teori, når jeg udfolder, hvordan feministiske nøgletekster har rejst på tværs af tid og sted. Med den tredje artikel, ”Longing for Sexual Revolution: The French Seventies in Berlant and Emaux”, træder jeg ind i et andet arkiv, hvor de feministiske franske halvfjerdsere optager en del plads: min egen samtids amerikanske kulturkritik og franske litteratur. Jeg argumenterer for, at de franske halvfjerdsere – og den idé om radikal sex, som vi forbinder med den tid – ikke er betinget af kropslige minder. Derimod foreslår jeg, at de franske halvfjerdsere virker som en kickstarter for utopisk tænkning i dag, både i USA og i Frankrig. Et gennemgående element i denne afhandling er en diskussion om teksters politiske og sociale funktioner. Ved at trække på teorier fra oversættelsesstudier, samt aktør-netværksteori og feministiske (mod)offentligheder, argumenterer jeg for, at mine udvalgte tekster indgår i både akadentiske og politisk-aktivistiske diskurser. Jeg diskuterer, hvordan tekster fra og om de feministiske franske halvfjerdsere skaber forbindelser på tværs af tid og sted idet de performer den kollektivitet, som de tematiserer. Jeg foreslår, at vi ved at ”afglemme” de feministiske franske halvfjerdsere kan genskabe visionen om skrift som politisk, som i dag stadig klinger fra 1970’ernes franske filosofi og feministiske tænkning.

Access the dissertation (pdf) Resumé (in Danish) Afhandlingen består af to dele, i alt 525 sider. Del I: Forskningsbidrag og Perspektiver (FP): 196 sider. Del II: Otte artikler publiceret i internationale tidsskrifter og på internationale forlag: 329 sider. Afhandlingens første del (Del I, FP) præsenterer dens teser og forskningsresultater med afsæt i en omfattende gennemgang og diskussion af den eksisterende forskning på området (State of the Art). Den sammenfatter desuden de vigtigste resultater i en række udvalgte artikler (Del II), set i forhold til afhandlingens teser. Resultaterne indgår i en ny teoretisk ramme og analysemodel, der fra forskellige vinkler udfoldes i konkrete analyser. En betydelig del af afhandlingens Del I (FP) diskuterer og analyserer indgående en række væsentlige forskningsperspektiver for sprogvidenskaben som afhandlingen afføder. I afhandlingen introducerer jeg begrebet Sætningskonstruktioners Interne Type ( Inherent Type of Constructions (ITC)). ITC er en komponent i den sprogbrugsbaserede grammatik, der indkapsler sprogbrugerens akkumulerede erfaringer og viden om forskellige måder at opbygge sætningskonstruktionen (dens interne struktur fra et konstruktionsgrammatisk synspunkt). Der skelnes mellem verbal-baserede og skema-baserede konstruktioner. Dette nøglebegrebs (ITC’s) betydning og analytiske kapabilitet vil blive udfoldet i detaljer i kapitel 4. Afhandlingens teser underbygges af forskning der er publiceret internationalt over en længere årrække (udvalgte artikler). Datagrundlaget i artiklerne (Del II) udgør således et empiriske fundament for afhandlingen. Studierne der rapporteres i artiklerne undersøger den spanske sætnings argumentstruktur i en bred vifte af konstruktionstyper: Morfologiske sætningskonstruktioner (Pedersen 2005, 2013a, 2023a); Simple transitive sætningskonstruktioner (Pedersen 2005, 2013a, 2019, 2023a); Komplekse sætningskonstruktioner (Pedersen 2009a, 2013b, 2014, 2016). Størstedelen af studierne er baseret på omfattende korpusdata og avancerede korpusmetoder. De fleste af artiklerne anlægger et kontrastivt perspektiv, hvor spansk sammenlignes med engelsk og dansk. Kapitel 1 I kapitel 1 præsenteres afhandlingen og dens hovedteser, og forklarer baggrunden. Afhandlingen argumenterer for at spanske sætningskonstruktioner, ud fra en akkumuleret viden og erfaringer med sprogbrugen, er disponeret for at være verbal-baserede konstruktioner. Desuden foreslås det at generaliserede (skematiske) konstruktioner spiller en sekundær, men afgørende, rolle i udfoldelsen af den verbale betydning i konstruktionernes interne struktur. Denne indsigt, argumenteres det, er afgørende for en konstruktionsgrammatisk forståelse af den spanske sætningsstruktur. Afhandlingen fremsætter to fundamentale og tæt relaterede teser: En sprogbrugsbaseret konstruktionsgrammatisk tilgang til spansk sætningsstruktur kræver at vi inkorporerer en grammatikkomponent, der bestemmer spanske sætningskonstruktioners Interne Type (ITC). En konstruktionsgrammatisk teori der inkorporerer ITC kan som integreret model forklare variationer i sætningens argument struktur, tværsproglige forskelle, og forbundet dermed, særlige kreative kompetencer.Ud over at forsvare disse primære teser, undersøger afhandlingen også en række bredere perspektiver som teserne afføder, herunder (blandt andet): En konstruktionsgrammatisk teori der inkorporerer ITC, vil kunne lægge fundamentet for en sprogbrugsbaseret forståelse af klassiske typologiske dikotomier i analysen af sætningens argumentstruktur på tværs af sprog. Metodologiske Herefter forklares baggrunden for disse teser og perspektiver i oversigtsform. Den sprogbrugsbaserede konstruktionsgrammatik har de senere årtier udviklet sig med stor gennemslagskraft i form af forskellige teoretiske modeller (fx Langacker 1987; Goldberg 1995, 2006, 2019; Croft 2001; Boas 2003; Goldberg & Jackendoff 2004; Bybee 2006; Hoffmann & Trousdale 2013; Diessel 2019; Schmid 2023). Den har imidlertid, ifølge afhandlingen, et sprogtypeproblem, der primært bunder i at den konstruktionsgrammatiske model primært er udviklet på baggrund af studier af engelsk. Navnlig har konstruktionsgrammatiske studier af romanske sprogs sætningsstruktur vist sig at være udfordret med hensyn til fundamentale aspekter af den teoretiske model. Uafhængigt af den observerede typologiske bias i den konstruktionsgrammatiske analyse af sætningsstrukturen, refererer en række klassiske typologiske dikotomier inden for andre teoretiske modeller til strukturelle forskelle mellem romansk (fx spansk) sætningsstruktur og germansk (fx engelsk) sætningsstruktur (fx Tesnière 1959; Talmy 1991, 2000; Levin & Rappaport Hovav 1995; Horrocks 2007; Snyder 2001, 2012; Beavers et al. 2010; Levin & Rappaport Hovav 2019). Fokus i afhandlingen er således på udviklingen af konstruktionsgrammatiske løsninger, der teori-internt tager hånd om sprogtypeproblemet (jf. kap. 4), og teori-eksternt kan vise vejen for sprogbrugsbaserede typologiske forklaringer på de strukturelle forskelle (jf. kap. 5). Sprogbrugsbaseret konstruktionsgrammatisk forskning har også metodologiske udfordringer (se, fx, Blumenthal-Dramé 2012: 11; Schmid & Küchenhoff 2013; Schmid 2017, 2023; Petré & Anthonissen 2020; Dąbrowska 2020; De Smet 2020; Anthonissen 2020a), og afhandlingen ønsker også at bidrage til disse diskussioner og udviklingen af de korpuslingvistiske metoder. Kapitel 2 Kapitel 2 er en omfattende gennemgang og diskussion af State of the art med særligt henblik på den sprogbrugsbaserede konstruktionsgrammatiske analyse af sætningens argumentstruktur, først i et generelt lingvistisk perspektiv, og derefter specifikt i forhold til spanske sætningskonstruktioner. Gennemgangen omfatter en række emner der er særligt relevante for den konstruktionsgrammatiske diskussion af sætningens argumentstruktur, herunder, men ikke begrænset til, følgende. Først introduceres begrebet sprogbrugsbaseret grammatik og forskellige aspekter af denne tilgang til den grammatiske analyse, herunder begreberne entrenchment og associations i sprogbrugerens grammatik. I det efterfølgende afsnit diskuteres en række teoretiske og tekniske aspekter af konstruktionsbegrebet, hvor der sættes særlig fokus på konstruktioners interne struktur, og begrebet non-constructive grammar, som er et centralt begreb i konstruktionsgramatikken; ofte blot som en implicit antagelse. Herefter undersøges argumentstrukturkonstruktioners rolle i sætningsstrukturen fra forskellige perspektiver. Det omfatter blandt andet diskussioner af sprogindlæringens tidlige udvikling af verb framing og senere konstruktionel variabilitet, skematiskhed og produktivitet, sætningskonstruktionens verbale versus skematiske profil, diskussioner af begreberne coercion og allostructions (som er et konstruktionsgrammatisk alternativ til leksikalistiske alternationsteorier), en kort introduktion af morfologiske argumentstrukturkonstruktioner, og en diskussion af de udfordringer der er forbundet med de etablerede principper i konstruktionsgrammatikken om non-constructive grammar. Den sidste, omfattende del af State of the art (2.4) er en kritisk gennemgang af tidligere konstruktionsgrammatiske studier af spansk sætningsstruktur. Gennemgangen omfatter følgende sætningstyper, ofte i et tværsprogligt perspektiv: den transitive konstruktion og variation, herunder Subjective-transitive construction, morfologiske se-konstruktioner, Spanske resultative konstruktioner, såkaldte weeping-constructions, dormir-constructions, og Communication and Reaction Object Constructions (CROC). Med udgangspunkt i diskussionerne af disse studier, opsummeres de vigtigste udfordringer, herunder specielt konstruktionernes interne struktur og sprogtypeproblemet. Der foreslås nye retninger for konstruktionsgrammatiske studier af spansk sætningsstruktur, herunder hvilke sætningstyper der er underbelyst (fx simple transitive konstruktioner). Der observeres navnlig udfordringer med at få afklaret hvilke roller henholdsvis verbet og den skematiske argument struktur konstruktion har i sætningskonstruktionernes interne struktur på tværs af sprog. Kapitel 3 I kapitel 3 præsenteres og diskuteres hovedresultaterne i hver af de udvalgte artikler der er omfattet af afhandlingens Del II. Der er særligt fokus på hvordan artiklernes indhold relaterer sig til de teser der er fremsat i afhandlingen. Kapitel 4 Kapitel 4 er en syntese af afhandlingens forskningsresultater, der integreres i en overordnet teoretisk model. Afhandlingens første tese (I) adresseres i afsnit 4.1, og dens anden tese (II) i afsnit 4.2, 4.3, og 4.4. Afhandlingen foreslår en sprogbrugsbaseret konstruktionsgrammatisk model for sætningens argumentstruktur der inkorporerer konstruktionens interne type (ITC). Det betyder at konstruktionen enten 1) realiserer et verbalt betydningselement i en generaliseret argumentstrukturkonstruktion (’verbalbaseret konstruktion’ = umarkeret type): Pedro baja las escaleras ’Pedro moves down the stairs’ analyseres som [SUBJ bajar] ’X moves down’ + [SUBJ V OBJ]/’TRANSITIV RELATION’, eller 2) realiserer et generaliseret betydningselement (argumentstrukturkonstruktion) i en specifik verbalkonstruktion (’skemabaseret konstruktion’ = markeret type): María danced to the beach analyseres som [SUBJ V OBL]/’X moves Y’ + [SUBJ dance]/’X dance.’ Konstruktioners interne type (ITC) er sprogbrugsbaseret, og afspejler akkumuleret viden og mønstre i sprogbrugen. Det vises at den karakteristiske ITC-profil for spanske sætningskonstruktioner er 'verbalbaseret konstruktion'. Det argumenteres at ITC teorien kan forklare variabiliteten (4.2), og strukturelle rammer for den kreativ sprogbrug, herunder når vi anskuer de spanske konstruktioner i et tværsprogligt perspektiv (4.3-4.4). ITC-teorien anvendes også på morfologiske argumentstrukturkonstruktioner. Her argumenteres det at spanske se-konstruktioner og parasyntetiske affikskonstruktioner (som mht. form-betydning er sammenlignelige med germanske applikative præfiks konstruktioner) er verbalbaserede konstruktioner, mens de tilsvarende germanske konstruktioner enten er verbalbaserede eller skemabaserede. Kapitel 5 I Kapitel 5 diskuteres indgående afhandlingens betydning i en bredere sammenhæng med fokus på følgende perspektiver: I 5.1 argumenteres der for at ITC teorien kan bane vejen for en sprogbrugsbaseret forståelse af en række klassiske typologiske dikotomier i analysen af sætningens argumentstruktur på tværs af sprog: Talmy’s (1991, 2000) distinktion mellem verb- framed og satellite-framed sprog (5.1.1); spørgsmålet om (absence of) unaccusativization (fx Levin 1993; Levin & Rappaport Hovav 1995) (5.1.2); og ±compounding parameter inden for Principles and Parameters (PP) teori (fx Snyder 2001, 2012; Mateu 2012) (5.1.3). Dernæst argumenteres der i 5.2 for at ITC teorien kan bidrage til udviklingen af en kompleks flerniveau forståelse af konstruktioners variabilitet. I det efterfølgende afsnit (5.3) diskuteres nogle væsentlige metodologiske spørgsmål og perspektiver som afhandlingen afføder. Til sidst diskuteres det hvorledes ITC teorien potentielt kan få betydning for visse områder inden for studier af fremmedsprog, herunder fremmedsprogsindlæring og oversættelse (5.4). Kapitel 6 Kapitel 6 sammenfatter afhandlingens forskningsresultater og perspektiver. Herefter følger en referenceliste. Afhandlingens Del II Afhandlingens anden del (Del II) består af otte artikler, der er udgivet internationalt i lingvistiske tidsskrifter og på anerkendte forlag. Udgivelsen af hver enkelt artikel har gennemgået dobbelt-blinded fagfællebedømmelse af eksperter inden for området i det internationale sprogvidenskabelige miljø. The Spanish impersonal se-construction – constructional variation and change (3.1) (Pedersen 2005). 49 sider. I artiklen analyseres kasusmarkering i upersonlige se-konstruktioner. Brugen af dativ kasus i disse konstruktioner er stadig et kontroversielt emne. Baseret på sprogbrugsbaseret konstruktionsgrammatisk teori argumenteres det at objekter i upersonlige se-konstruktioner har en konstruktionsspecifik status som er forskellig fra den status objekter har i tilsvarende prototypiske transitive konstruktioner. Den verbale konstruktion bestemmer den transitive kernebetydning, som på et tidspunkt vil kunne motivere at konstruktionen realiseres med akkusativkasusmarkering af det direkte objekt. The Spanish impersonal se-construction Constructional motivation for case-marking – quantitative evidence (3.2) (Pedersen 2013a). 17 sider. Pedersen (2013a) præsenterer en konstruktionsgrammatisk kvantitativ korpusanalyse af kasusmarkeringen i den upersonlige se-konstruktion. Der sættes fokus på den rolle se- konstruktionen spiller for kasusbrugen sammenlignet med den verbale (transitive) konstruktion. Studiet konkluderer at se-konstruktionens betydning for kasusbrugen er betydelig, samtidig med at akkusativ kasus kan være motiveret af konventioner og mønstre for kasusbrug i den simple transitive konstruktion. The Danish schematizing prefix constructions (3.3) Pedersen (2023a). 36 sider. Pedersen (2023a) præsenterer det første studie af danske applikative be-/for-konstruktioner. Fra et konstruktionsgrammatisk synspunkt argumenteres der for at præfikserne, ud over verbal derivation, markerer en transitiv relation, der specificeres i basisleksemet. Der er tre hovedvarianter: A-variant (basisleksem = simplex verbum), B-variant (basisleksem = substantiv) og C-variant (basisleksem = substantiv/adjektiv). En omfattende korpusundersøgelse viser at både be- og for- forekommer i alle varianter, men har forskellig semantisk profil. Autentiske Google-eksempler viser, at alle varianter er delvist produktive i moderne dansk. The construction of macro-events: A Typological Perspective (3.4) (Pedersen 2009a). 64 sider. Pedersen (2009a) diskuterer Leonard Talmys typologi (Talmy 1991, 2000) fra et konstruktionsgrammatisk perspektiv. Diskussionen tager udgangspunkt i en kontrastiv analyse af en H. C. Andersen novelle i seks parallelversioner (dansk, engelsk, tysk, spansk, fransk, og italiensk). Artiklen argumenterer for at en typologisk kategorisering bør være en konstruktionstypologi snarere end en sprogtypologi, og at typologien bør inkludere både et leksikalsk niveau og et konstruktionsniveau. Det argumenteres at nogle sprog har konstruktioner der koder hovedinformationen i en skematisk konstruktion, og specificerer denne information i en verbal konstruktion. Omvendt har andre sprog, for eksempel spansk, konstruktioner, der koder hovedinformationen i en verbal konstruktion, og giver mulighed for at denne specificeres i en sekundær konstruktion. The way-construction and cross-linguistic variation in syntax. Implications for typological theory (3.5) (Pedersen 2013b). 27 sider. For nærmere at udforske hypotesen om en sætningstypologi baseret på konstruktionstyper (jf. Pedersen 2009a), undersøgte Pedersen (2013b) ved hjælp af parallelkorpora hvordan betydningen af den karakteristiske engelske way-konstruktion kan udtrykkes på forskellige germanske og romanske sprog, med særligt fokus på spansk. Studiet viser at der er spanske versioner af way-konstruktionen, og en række andre komplekse sætningskonstruktioner, dog med den begrænsning at sætningens centrale betydning skal være tilstede i det verbale prædikat. En komplementær, verbal-uafhængig konstruktion kan udtrykke information om måde, middel eller årsag. Artiklen er konstruktivistisk i sin grundlæggende sprogopfattelse. Den anerkender dog samtidig at der er stærk evidens for systematiske sprogtypologiske forskelle i sætningsstrukturen, som blandt andre påpeget i Principles and Parameters-teorien, fx af Snyder (2001), og at det er vigtigt at adressere denne typologiske regelmæssighed i konstruktionsgrammatisk teori. Artiklen foreslår at konstruktionsgrammatikken bør inkorporere fundamentale typologiske forskelle i form af den relative konstruktionsskematiske og verbale vægt i konstruktionens interne argument struktur. Artiklen diskuterer også kort hvorledes dette kan vise sig at være et seriøst alternativ til principperne for parametrisk variation i komplekse sætninger som foreslået af Snyder (2001). Variable type framing in Spanish constructions of directed motion (3.6) (Pedersen 2014). 37 s. Pedersen (2014) præsenterer delresultater fra et større konstruktionsgrammatisk korpusstudie af intransitive konstruktioner af retningsbestemt bevægelse i spansk. Studiet er baseret på kvantitativ collostruction metode (fx Stefanowitsch 2003). De spanske konstruktioner sammenlignes med tilsvarende engelske konstruktioner, og resultaterne diskuteres i et typologisk perspektiv. Baggrunden er Talmy’s typologiske pionerarbejde og den sprogtypologiske forskning der er fulgt efter. En omfattende litteratur viser at nogle sprog ikke passer ind i hans binære typologi, og at så godt som alle sprog i en eller anden grad må betragtes som en blandet type (se, fx, Beavers et al. 2010 og Levin & Rappaport Hovav 2019 for oversigter og referencer). Forskningslitteraturen på området rejser således flere spørgsmål. For det første, er den marginale brug af bevægelsesverber der udtrykker måde i teliske konstruktioner kun sporadisk forekommende, eller er der tale om et regelmæssigt mønster i spansk? For det andet, hvordan kan en konstruktionsgrammatisk model forklare brugen af disse marginale varianter, ud over at konstatere at konstruktionerne forekommer? Og for det tredje, hvordan kan man forklare at såkaldte komplekse prædikater normalt er uacceptable i spansk (fx Aske 1989)? Artiklen viser at den marginale brug af bevægelsesverber med mådebetydning i teliske konstruktioner, er et regelmæssigt mønster. Desuden vises det at spanske konstruktioner af retningsbestemt bevægelse kun er acceptable når sætningens kernebetydning (directional motion/directionality ’retningsbestemt bevægelse’) er afspejlet i verbets leksikalske betydning (verbet har et element af retningsbestemthed). Mht. det tredje punkt, og som en videreudvikling af analyserne i Pedersen (2009a og 2013b), foreslås det i artiklen at sprogbrugsbaserede mønstre af verbal og skematisk organisering af argumentstrukturen i sætningskonstruktionens interne struktur bestemmer karakteristiske konstruktionstyper på tværs af sprog. Endelig introducerer artiklen begrebet variable type framing, med henvisning til den interne types variabilitet. Med dette begreb analyseres den marginale teliske brug af bevægelsesverber med mådebetydning som en realisering af det verbale betydningselement retningsbestemt i den teliske konstruktion. Spanish constructions of directed motion – a quantitative study: Typological variation and framing strategy (3.7) (Pedersen 2016). 41 sider. Pedersen (2016) præsenterer resultaterne fra en stor korpusundersøgelse af brugen af bevægelsesverber i spanske bevægelseskonstruktioner. Det var formentlig den første store korpusundersøgelse af bevægelseskonstruktioner baseret på collostruction-metoden. Undersøgelsen var designet til at omfatte alle bevægelsesverber i korpus der potentielt kunne forekomme i konstruktionen. I studiet argumenteres der for at der er behov for en særlig korpusmetode der 1) kvantificerer interaktionen mellem den verbale konstruktion og bevægelseskonstruktionen, og 2) kvalificerer bevægelseskonstruktionens leksikalske variation. Collostruction-metoden kvantificerer verbaltypers association med specifikke syntaktiske omgivelser (den teliske bevægelseskonstruktion) og bestemmer de leksikalske varianters relative prominens (rang) i konstruktionen. Undersøgelsen identificerer seks grupper af leksikalske varianter i den teliske bevægelseskonstruktion, jf. punkt 2 ovenfor: Gruppe A: Prototypiske verber i telisk brug. Gruppe B: Verber med mådebetydning i telisk brug. Gruppe C: Verber med mådebetydning i telisk brug der kan ses bort fra. Gruppe D: Retningsverber i telisk brug der kan ses bort fra. Gruppe E: Retningsverber der ikke forekommer i telisk brug. Gruppe F: Verber med mådebetydning der ikke forekommer i telisk brug. Konstruktionsteoretisk er fokus rettet mod den rolle henholdsvis leksikalsk struktur og skematicitet spiller i de spanske konstruktioners interne struktur. Korpusanalysen bidrager til en bedre forståelse af hvad det er der driver kodningen af argumentstrukturen i den interne struktur. Set i et generelt perspektiv, er det artiklens tese at kodningen af argumentstrukturen i de komplekse spanske sætningskonstruktioner er verbaldrevet. Desuden argumenteres der for at dette ikke forholder sig sådan i tilsvarende germanske (fx engelske) sætningskonstruktioner, der er karakteriseret ved at være konstruktionsdrevne. Verb-based vs. schema-based constructions and their variability: On the Spanish transitive directed-motion construction in a contrastive perspective (3.8) (Pedersen (2019). 58 sider. Pedersen (2019) præsenterer et omfattende studie af transitive bevægelseskonstruktioner (TDM konstruktioner) i spansk: Pedro bajó las escaleras ‘Pedro gik ned ad trapperne’ – som generelt er en underlyst konstruktionstype i lingvistikken på tværs af sprog. Studiet kombinerer analyser af verballeksemet med collostruction korpusanalyse. Det viser at på trods af hyppig mismatch mellem den verbale argumentstruktur og den konstruktionsbestemte transitive argumentstruktur, korrelerer kernekomponenter i verbets betydning tæt med dets anvendelse i TDM-konstruktionen. En sådan snæver sammenhæng mellem verbet og dets anvendelse i TDM konstruktionen kan ikke observeres i sammenlignelige engelske konstruktioner. Baseret på korpusdata om sammenhængen mellem bevægelsesverber og deres anvendelse i TDM konstruktionen, påvises det at de spanske bevægelsesverber kun forekommer i TDM- konstruktionen hvis de har kombinationen af betydningskomponenterne 'retningsorienteret' (directional dislocation) og 'tidsmæssig udstrækning' (temporal extension). Verber uden denne betydningskombination kunne ikke observeres i TDM konstruktionen. Intransitive verber med kun én af disse komponenter, for eksempel hyppige retningsverber af typen entrar ‘at bevæge sig ind’ (uden tidsmæssig udstrækning), eller verber med mådebetydning af typen remar/chapotear ‘at padle’ (uden retningskomponent), er systematisk udelukket fra TDM- brugen (fx *entró la casa ‘han gik ind i huset’; eller *remó el río ‘han padlede floden’). Det konkluderes i artiklen at den spanske TDM-konstruktion er en verbalbaseret konstruktion, hvor den transitive argumentstrukturkonstruktion (ASC) har en elaborerende rolle. Akkumuleret skematisk viden om den transitive ASC bidrager med konstruktionens elaborering af kernebetydningen, der er forankret i den verbale argumentstruktur. Begrebet argument structure construal introduceres som betegnelse for denne ASC-rolle i konstruktionens interne struktur. Det foreslås desuden at henholdsvis verbale og skematiske argumentstrukturkonstruktioner kan have forskellige roller i den interne struktur af TDM konstruktionen på tværs af sprog. I et generelt perspektiv, foreslås det at en typologi af konstruktioner (jf. Pedersen 2009a; Croft et al. 2010) bør skelne mellem verbal-baserede og skema-baserede konstruktioner.

"Call for papers: Ankomster i litteraturen";"";"2025-06-13";"";"";"";"";"Symposium.";"Ankomsten er et tilbagevendende motiv i litteratur. Det kan være et organisatorisk narrativt princip eller et selvstændigt tema. En ankomst kan optræde som mere eller mindre fuldbyrdet, f.eks. en ankomst til et sted som adskiller sig fra det forventede eller en ankomst til en forkert destination. Der findes ankomster til det velkendte og til det ukendte. Ankomster som aldrig bliver eller aldrig afsluttes. Ankomsten kan være en illusion eller en utopi, som værket er organiseret omkring eller en uforløst plan som værket peger frem imod. Det kan være en hjemkomst, hvor både hjemmet og ankomsten problematiseres. Vi ser ankomster i migrationslitteratur, rejselitteratur, dannelseslitteratur og i mange andre genrer. På trods af illusionen om at vi ankommer til et bestemt sted på et bestemt tidspunkt, når vi transporterer os fra et sted til et andet, er den litterære ankomst sjældent punktuel i tid, ligesom en ankomst sjældent udspiller sig i et klart defineret rum. Hovedpersonen kan ankomme til en by, men hvornår ankommer vi til det rette sted? Tid og rum er med andre ord til forhandling i den litterære ankomst. På samme måde kan en forventet ankomst ordne et narrativ således, at det ikke er ankomsten i sig selv, men den forventede ankomst som styrer handlingen. Anticipation af en ankomst kan være lang og kan have uforudsete konsekvenser. På samme måde kan ankomsten (for)løse problemer og konflikter, som f.eks. i dannelsesromanen, når vi ender det rette sted. Call for papers Vi forestiller os, at: Det kan være forskellige litterære genrers gestaltning af ankomsten, eks. Apokalyptisk eller eskatologisk litteratur. Forskellige tilgange og behandlinger af ankomsten, eks. fra litterært, socialt og filosofisk perspektiv. Hver oplæg bør vare 10-12 minutter med efterfølgende diskussion på 20 minutter og kan være på dansk eller engelsk. Du skal ikke fremlægge et færdigt stykke forskningsarbejde, men ideen er at skabe en dialog med udgangspunkt i ankomster, som de er repræsenteret i forskellige typer litteratur for dermed at bringe instituttets litterater sammen om et emne, som kan bruges til at tænke og diskutere med.

Abstract The place “Vietnam” and the concept “war” have long been joined in the American psyche, and the officiant of this unholy union has been the camera. In art critic Lucy Lippard's words, the Vietnam War was “the first war we were force-fed through The Tube.” Writing in the context of this reductive and mediated paradigm, Vietnamese American authors have responded with tactical accommodation, earnest didacticism, deliberate redirection, and utter disregard. In the first part of this presentation, I trace an overall history of Vietnamese American literature to show how it has decoupled, complicated, and moved beyond the “Vietnam = war” conflation. In the second part, I dive deeply into how experimental writer Dao Strom reconfigures the camera apparatus through her incorporation of photography in We Were Meant to Be a Gentle People. Through photographic images that she modifies, re-appropriates, glosses, and scores, Strom disrupts consumptive circuits of militarised spectacle, humanitarian illustration, and exotic ornament. Modelling in her book an aggressively critical and also creatively productive engagement with prior texts and the history they would capture, Strom offers readers not only alternative representations and content, but alternative modes of reading and creating. Bio Michele Janette is a professor in the Department of English at Kansas State University; for the spring 2025 semester, she is a visiting scholar at the University of Copenhagen. Michele specialises in Vietnamese American literature. Her wider interests and teaching areas include Asian American literature, contemporary American literature, cultural studies, film, and feminism. She has edited a collection of Vietnamese American writings (1962-2011) and produced an oral history documentary film about multicultural Kansas history and its preservation."

Abstract People mostly take their skin for granted and never think about the many indispensable biological and social functions that skin serves in their lives. This lecture will invite people to understand the many and diverse ways in which their skin contributes to their essential humanity. We will first explore how skin has evolved biologically to meet the requirements of basic survival in the last seven million years since the emergence of the human lineage. We will then turn our attention to how skin has evolved culturally to be a remarkably versatile interface for receiving and sending “messages,” through touch and decoration and, thus, being a powerful focus of attention and social interaction. Contact and moderator: Irina Hron Bio Nina Jablonski is a biological anthropologist recognised for her contributions to understanding primate and human evolution, especially to questions not answered directly from the fossil record. Fascinated increasingly over the years by the important but unheralded roles of skin and skin pigmentation in evolution, she focused on the origins of mostly naked human skin and diverse human skin colours. In 2000, Jablonski and her collaborator husband, George Chaplin, put forward the dual cline theory (or vitamin D-folate theory) for the evolution of human skin pigmentation that accounts for why dark skin evolved under conditions of high ultraviolet radiation (UVR) in the tropics while lighter skin was favored under conditions of lower UVR nearer the poles. Jablonski has held academic positions at the University of Hong Kong, the University of Western Australia, the California Academy of Sciences, and the Pennsylvania State University. Jablonski is a Member of the National Academy of Sciences, the American Philosophical Society, and the American Academy of Arts & Sciences, and has received numerous fellowships and grants, including a Guggenheim Fellowship. In addition to a body of more than 200 peer-reviewed scholarly papers and book chapters, Jablonski has written two popular books for adults: Skin: A Natural History (2006) and Living Color: The Biological and Social Meaning of Skin Color (2012), and has co-authored two books for children, Skin We Are In (2018) It’s Just Skin, Silly!, which will be published at the end of 2023."

Paintings and sculp­tures across centuries depict visible signs of disease, reflecting the medical knowledge of their time and broader cultural and historical understandings of ill­ness. This rich body of work not only reflects European medical history but is also deeply intertwined with colonial legacies. In recent years, the idea that an informed engagement with art, literature and cultural history can enhance visual and descriptive diagnostic skills has ignited a strong flame that art-based educational interventions in dermatology can play a pivotal role in diagnostics, hand in hand with the inevitable assistance of machine-based diagnostics. Leading dermatologists warn that if we do not educate the next generation of medical students to read and describe the world creatively and independently, and instead rely solely on digital biomarkers and AIS, “there will possibly be no data that can be used to feed the future AIS” (Miller/Jemec). Both experienced art historians and ex­perienced dermatologists make independent judgments when first examining a work of art or a patient’s skin: they read and interpret its unique texture before arriving at a diagnosis. Skin colour also plays a role, as darker skin tones, for example, remain underrepresented in existing datasets, limiting AI-driven systems’ ability to analyse lesions accurately. How can we raise awareness of the importance of these visual literacy skills for both diagnostics and skin health in general? The micro-lectures and table talk respond to current challenges by bringing together dermatologists, anthropologists, art historians, and cultural studies scholars for a timely and engaging conversation about the complexities of diagnosing and treating skin-(diseases).

Fin dalla fondazione della Repubblica Italiana, la memoria del fascismo ha costituito un aspetto centrale dell’identità nazionale e del dibattito pubblico e politico. L’importanza di questa memoria è confermata anche dal gran numero di romanzi e film che sono stati dedicati al fascismo e che hanno cercato di confrontarsi con esso, di esorcizzarlo e di diffondere consapevolezza riguardo alla storia della dittatura. Ma quali sono state le tendenze nella rappresentazione del fascismo nella cultura italiana? E quale ruolo hanno avuto la letteratura e il cinema nel modellare la cultura del ricordo dell’Italia dal dopoguerra in poi? In questo incontro, a metà strada tra un seminario e un workshop interattivo, il Dott. Guido Bartolini presenterà e discuterà alcune delle concettualizzazioni che hanno dominato la memoria culturale italiana, analizzando alcune delle pratiche discorsive sviluppate dall’Italia repubblicana per immaginare e rappresentare il fascismo.

Since the founding of the Italian Republic, the memory of Fascism has been a central aspect of national identity and public and political debate. The importance of this memory is also reflected in the many novels and films dedicated to Fascism – works that have sought to engage with it, exorcise it, and raise awareness about the history of the dictatorship. But what have been the dominant trends in the representation of Fascism in Italian culture? And what role have literature and cinema played in shaping Italy’s memory culture from the postwar period onwards? In this event, situated halfway between a seminar and an interactive workshop, Dr Guido Bartolini will present and discuss some of the key conceptualisations that have dominated Italian cultural memory, analysing discursive practices developed in the Republican era to imagine and represent Fascism. The event aims to create a space for collective reflection on the use of cultural products as tools for thinking about the past, and to deepen our understanding of the dynamics that have shaped the memory of Fascism in Italian culture."

"Fiction on the Page in Nineteenth Century Magazines";"Faculty of Humanities";"2025-03-21";"13:00";"";"";"South Campus, auditorium 4A-0-69";"Doctoral defence by Maria Damkjær.";"Doctoral defence by Maria Damkjær. Read the dissertation (PDF) Abstract (UK) What makes fiction recognisable as fiction? Texts are shaped by their material print, but this book argues that they can also be made in response to it: that the needs of the magazine in the nineteenth century spurred writers to create hybrid, entangled texts. Using book history, genre theory, and literary close-reading, this book argues that narrative fiction in the nineteenth-century popular periodical was a malleable substance. By looking at typography, and the attempts to squeeze in too much text, or stretch out too little text, the book asks what the relationship was between the page that needed filling and the short story that tried to fill it. In the messy hybrids and outliers, we explore what fiction might have become. The book works with magazines like the Englishwoman’s Domestic Magazine (first series, 1852-59), the Family Herald (1842 1945), the Home Circle (1849-54), and authors like Elizabeth Gaskell, George Augustus Sala, and Samuel Beeton. It also includes a chapter on Charles Dickens’s arguably least successful venture, Master Humphrey’s Clock (1840-1), where Dickens was noticeably straining to sell and fill a weekly magazine. While the book is not attempting to destabilise the status of canonical fiction, it does ask how the page makes fiction happen; what kind of readers magazines imagined for themselves; and what readers thought they were reading when they picked up an issue. The book argues that magazines projected a print imaginary, a symbolic realm where the magazine fits perfectly into the lives of happy, active readers. Resumé (DK) Hvad er det der gør fiktion genkendeligt som fiktion? Alle trykte tekster formes af deres fysiske inkarnation, men denne bog argumenterer for at tekster også kan opstå som svar på den fysiske form; at tidsskrifternes behov for fyld og reklame i 1800-tallet ansporede forfattere til at skrive hybridtekster, der var dybt filtret sammen med det trykte produkt. Ved at kombinere boghistorie, genreteori og litterær analyse, argumenterer denne bog for at narrativ fiktion i 1800-tallets tidsskrifter var et plastisk svar på et indholdsbehov. Bogen undersøger typografi, klemte tekster og udstrakte layouts, og afdækker hvad forholdet var mellem den side der skulle fyldes og den novelle der blev brugt til at fylde den. I rodede hybrider og perifere genrer kan vi se hvad fiktion kunne være udviklet sig til. Bogen analyserer populære tidsskrifter som Englishwoman’s Domestic Magazine (første serie, 1852-59), Family Herald (1842-1945), Home Circle (1849-54), og forfattere som Elizabeth Gaskell, George Augustus Sala, og Samuel Beeton. Den indeholder også et kapitel om Charles Dickens’ nok største kreative fiasko, ugebladet Master Humphrey’s Clock (1840-1). Bogen er ikke et forsøg på at destabilisere litteraturkanonen, men den spørger helt grundlæggende: hvordan genererer den trykte side en bestemt slags fiktion der ’passer’ til den ledige plads; hvad slags læsere forestillede tidsskriftet sig at det havde; og hvad troede læserne at det var de læste når de sad med et nummer i hænderne?

"Exploring the Impact of Task Complexity on Disfluencies and Their Problem Sources in Consecutive Interpreting";"Department of English, Germanic and Romance Studies";"2025-03-13";"13:00";"";"";"South Campus, Auditorium 23.0.49";"Public Defence of PhD Thesis by Yao Zhang.";"Public Defence of PhD Thesis by Yao Zhang. Abstract This study investigates task complexity’s impact on novice interpreters’ fluency in consecutive interpreting (CI) and further examines the patterns of disfluencies and their underlying problem sources. While fluency is extensively researched in psycholinguistics, its application to CI - a specific context of speech production - remains limited. This study bridges this gap by providing a systematic account of interpreters’ cognitive processes in CI and comprehensively analyzing the interplay between task complexity, disfluencies, and problem sources. The study draws on theories and models from several fields, including speech production, interpreting, and task complexity, to develop an analytical framework for examining the cognitive processing involved in CI. With this theoretical basis, it addresses three core issues: 1) the impact of task complexity on the cognitive processing in CI, as reflected by variations in the duration of unfilled pauses, and whether an optimal pause threshold can be identified to effectively signal problem activity in CI, 2) the impact of task complexity on the distribution patterns of four types of disfluencies - unfilled pause, filled pause, repetition, and self-correction, and 3) the underlying problem sources associated with these different types of disfluencies. A total of 55 novice interpreters participated in this study, performing two Chinese-to-English CI tasks with different levels of complexity and taking part in retrospective interviews to report the problems underlying their disfluencies. Both their performances and interviews were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed. Disfluencies were categorized into unfilled pauses, filled pauses, repetitions, and self-corrections, and a taxonomy of problem sources was applied to identify the underlying issues. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, inferential statistics, and qualitative analysis. The key findings reveal that task complexity significantly influences the patterns of unfilled pause duration (threshold ≤ 600ms), with the more complex task leading to longer pauses. The study identifies 500ms as the optimal pause threshold for indicating problem activity in CI. Task complexity also influences the distribution of certain types of disfluencies, particularly unfilled and filled pauses, though to a limited extent. Moreover, interpreters exhibit distinct patterns of attentional resource allocation and problem sources across different stages of speech production in CI. Finally, based on an integrative analysis of the core issues above, a model is proposed to provide a structured account of interpreters’ cognitive processes in CI. This study makes key contributions by systematically examining the impact of threshold settings on disfluency patterns and successfully experimenting with task complexity control through specific metrics. The findings have implications for both research and interpreter training and assessment. Future research could refine methodologies to explore the interaction between indicators of and beyond fluency, task complexity, and interpreting performance. Additionally, this study suggests the potential for developing more comprehensive, standardized assessment criteria for training and assessment purposes.

Creating autonomous and self-organised 'counter-universities' is a powerful tool for developing critique of higher education and imagining potentially more satisfying approaches to knowledge production. Historically, ‘counter universities’ gained popularity with student protests against the Vietnam War and for 'free speech' in the US in the mid-1960s. The transnational protest events of the late 1960s and the emerging alternative culture of the 1970s also made the declaration of 'free', 'critical', 'political' or 'autonomous' universities common practice in many Western European countries. Since then, social movements and educational activists have declared counter-universities to cover a wide range of issues and ambitions. These have encompassed anti-capitalist, socialist, green and ecological initiatives, feminist projects as well as gay and queer initiatives. In the 1970s and 1980s, dissident groups in many Eastern European countries also organised clandestine 'flying universities' to explore educational alternatives to state-controlled higher education. To this day, counter-universities continue to play an important role in opening up spaces for dissent and opposition, and in creating spaces for experimenting with new subjects and learning methods, both in democratic countries and in dictatorial regimes. Bringing together scholars from history, art (history), cultural studies, sociology and other disciplines interested in the history and present of the counter-university, this conference serves to share research and perspectives on this significant but under-researched transnational phenomenon.

Abstrakt Volapük war eine konstruierte Sprache für die internationale Kommunikation, die in Deutschland und vielen weiteren Staaten des späten 19. Jahrhunderts eine gewisse Popularität erlangte: Lehrwerke wurden gedruckt, Hymnen gesungen und Dampfschiffe im Namen des Volapük getauft. Der Vortrag vertieft die kurze, aber durchaus farbige Geschichte der um das Volapük entstehenden frühen plansprachlichen Bewegung. Diese verdeutlicht, wie in einer Ära zunehmender internationaler Vernetzung die Gestaltung von Weltbeziehungen auch als Gestaltbarkeit von Sprache diskutiert werden konnte.

In the Romantic era, intimacy is inextricably linked to communication. Proximity brings about understanding, and understanding leads to intimacy. But it is precisely intimacy that presents communication with particular challenges. The demands, impositions and sensitivities that come with it make communication vulnerable to misunderstandings. Where it succeeds, however, it is experienced as love. With Bettina Brentano, Rahel Levin Varnhagen and Karoline von Günderrode, the exhibition focuses on three of the most important authors of the Romantic era. In their own way, all three search for the ideal of total intimacy in their writing. Using selected letters, literary works and objects, the exhibition shows scenes of the success and failure of this search. At the same time, it presents the linguistic strategies and innovations with which the authors responded to the difficulties of highly personal communication. Their literary work thus becomes a stage on which the drama of intimacy can be experienced. The exhibition is curated by Alexander Knopf (Heidelberg/Copenhagen), Frederike Middelhoff (Frankfurt am Main) and Joanna Raisbeck (Oxford). The exhibition is presented in three consecutive chapters: 31 January – 6 March: Bettina Brentano 13 March – 11 April: Rahel Levin Varnhagen 17 April – 1 June: Karoline von Günderrode The exhibition is generously supported by the Velux Foundation, the University of Copenhagen, the Dr. Marschner Foundation and the Cronstett and Hynsperg Evangelical Foundation.

How do we talk about digital media? How do we talk with digital media?";"How do we talk on digital media? How do we talk about digital media? How do we talk with digital media? Given the development of the Internet and digital media over the last three decades and the impact this has had on the way that people interact both online and offline, these questions are pertinent. Countless online platforms, many of which can be accessed at any given point in time via portable app technology, have given birth to countless communities of practice, ranging from the mainstream to the fringes. Norms and conventions of interaction come into being, some of which are transient and some of which are more permanent. The lines between online and offline life have become increasingly blurred as it is not only the case that offline practices influence online ones, but online practices also bleed into the offline world. This socio-technological evolution has thus had, and continues to have, ramifications for multiple aspects of language - from structural ones to socio-cultural ones. Linguistic varieties, including registers, discourses, and even digital sociolects, have emerged, as have more generalized conventions. As observed by David Crystal, language change processes, including language death, take place at an accelerated pace in online contexts. The Internet has facilitated new ways of expressing social identity deployed both online and offline, an example of which could be how the language of social media influencers has made its way into the everyday speech of people of all ages. Linguistic interactions in echo chambers on the fringes of the Internet have had real-life consequences ranging from linguistic influence on social upheaval and downright acts of crime. The role of language in people's digital lives has thus become an extremely important object of linguistic research. In recognition of this, the first Conference on Language, Norms and Digital Lives explores language on/around/about/with/through the internet and invites contributions addressing issues related to language and the digital. We welcome different theoretical frameworks, approaches, and methods – qualitative and quantitative – for example, corpus linguistics, linguistic ethnography, sociolinguistic interviews, and discourse analysis.

She has published widely within the environmental humanities on the relationship between capitalism, colonialism and culture, with a focus on speculative forms, and is the co/editor of several collections: most recently, The Edinburgh Companion to Globalgothic (2023) – winner of the Justin D. Edwards Prize – and The Cambridge Companion to World Gothic Literature, which is forthcoming in 2025. Rebecca is recipient of project grants from Riksbankens Jubileumsfond (2021-24) and The Swedish Research Council (2024-2027). South African (Science) Fiction and Ecology: Boomerangs of Crisis and Form Influential interventions in literary ecocriticism over the last decade have proposed that accelerating climate breakdown heralds the decline of realism, since realism is ill-equipped to grasp the increasingly catastrophic entanglement of our species in planetary systems. In the Anthropocene, the prediction goes, the future of the novel lies with science fiction. This talk offers an alternative perspective on the contemporary rise of ecocritical science fiction, taking as a starting point the history of colonial exploitation and extraction that shapes actually existing global distributions of crisis. From this vantage, global socio-ecological turbulence represents not a new situation, but the expansion of conditions hitherto concentrated across the post/colonial world. If the contemporary rise of science fiction marks a response to planetary shifts in the present, then – I suggest – this development needs to be understood as the global manifestation of narrative forms and strategies that have emerged before, on colonial labour and resource frontiers. To illustrate this argument, I consider two fictional engagements with South African gold mining: Masande Ntshanga’s Triangulum (2018) – a complex work of contemporary science fiction – and Peter Abrahams’ Mine Boy (1946), usually addressed as a work of proletarian realism. Written nearly a century apart, and differentiated by genre, these texts nonetheless make analogous moves beyond the realist register to figure bewildering social and environmental inequality around South Africa’s extractive frontiers. Read together, I suggest, they shed new light on the purported decline of realism: if science fiction represents the future of the novel, then this may have less to do with an Anthropocene consciousness, than with a catastrophe that is returning, following the trajectory a boomerang, from the peripheries of empire, to its cores. Johan Höglund Johan Höglund is Professor of English at the Department of Languages at Linnaeus University. His research focuses, among other areas, on how fiction narrates the ongoing planetary emergency. His new book is The American Climate Emergency Narrative: Origins, Developments and Imaginary Futures (2024). He is also the PI of the project “Future Food Imaginaries in Global Climate Fiction.” This project is funded by FORMAS, a Swedish research council for sustainability and studies how genre fiction set in climate-transformed futures imagines that human society will respond and adapt to the profound and imminent transformation of current food systems. Tales of Violence and Extraction: Defining the American Climate Emergency Narrative This talk critically investigates the assumption that climate fiction (cli-fi) is a new genre that provides roadways to more sustainable futures. Building on the world-ecology framework and using a world-literature perspective, it shows that much American cli-fi is in fact much more interested in the preservation of American capitalist modernity than in climate breakdown. As described in my book The American Climate Emergency Narrative (2024), this type of cli-fi can be traced back to the emergence of stories that promote violence and extraction as essential to the building of secure futures. The origins of American cli-fi are thus in early settler-colonial and plantation narratives, tales of adventurous yet catastrophic coal and oil mining, and science fiction stories about conflict over, or even with, the resources of the planet. Rooted in this material and literary history, much American cli-fi insists that the specific emergency it narrates can only be resolved by the very system that produced it in the first place. Thus, the vision of the future the American Climate Emergency Narrative produces is either one in which modernity is revitalized or where the entire world comes to a grotesque end. Elizabeth Rodriguez Fielder Elizabeth Rodriguez Fielder is an assistant professor in the Department of English at the University of Iowa. She is a scholar of twentieth and twenty-first century transnational American literature and culture. Her teaching and research interests include multiethnic literature and culture, (specifically African American and Latinx Studies), performance studies, women of color feminism, southern studies, and social movement activism. Her work has appeared in The Global South, The Cambridge History of the Literature of the U.S. South, PMLA, and various edited collections. Her first book, The Revolution Will Be Improvised: The Intimacy of Cultural Activism, was published in October 2024. Art/Work: Media Experimentation and Agricultural Justice The civil rights movement contains many stories and actions beyond the main narratives of protest and voter registration. Grassroots activists and local people sought to reimagine their relationship to land and labor as part of the larger project of social change. In this talk, I present a little-known archive of intermedia activism emerging from the movement’s campaign of agricultural justice, which I discuss in my book, The Revolution will Be Improvised: The Intimacy of Cultural Activism. In the 1960s, the photography and communication department of the activist organization Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee worked alongside cooperative farmers to document their reforms to agricultural labor using unique repurposed media. I trace the impact of their intermedia documentary on other modalities of artistic expression and how creativity impacts the contemporary farming practices of Soul Fire Farm, an Afro-indigenous farming community committed to food justice. Gina Caison Gina Caison is the Kenneth M. England Professor of Southern Literature at Georgia State University. Her first book, Red States: Indigeneity, Settler Colonialism, and Southern Studies (2018) won the 2019 C. Hugh Holman Award. Her second monograph, Erosion: American Environments & the Anxiety of Disappearance, is forthcoming in fall 2024. She is the co-editor of Small-Screen Souths: Region, Identity, and the Cultural Politics of Television (2017) and Remediating Region: New Media and the U.S. South (2021). She teaches courses in American literature, Indigenous literatures, southern literatures, and documentary practices. Gullies and Removals of the Plantation South This presentation engages Katherine McKittrick’s concept of “plantation futures” to analyze the erosion site of Providence Canyon in Georgia alongside a close reading of the corresponding soil science and settler colonial logic embedded in Margaret Mitchell’s Gone with the Wind. To illuminate the connections between erosion and southeastern Indigenous Removal in the setting of Mitchell’s novel, this work draws from Charles Lyell’s two-volume A Second Visit to the United States of North America (1849). The presentation concludes with a return to a reading of Providence Canyon and the way 1930s boosters of the site attempted to rebrand the agricultural destruction as “natural” to increase area tourism. This analysis engages questions of how settler colonialism, the plantation economy, and ongoing white supremacy manifest in discourses of soil erosion. "

Unlike the social gains that have been the clear results of various feminist mobilizations, the development of women's status in society has not been the result of strikes, large demonstrations, or blockades. And even though there is still a long way to go, no one can deny that women have come a long way over the past one and a half century. Combining two themes, feminism and the environmental crisis, with a ""materialistic"" hypothesis, Nikolski proposes that it is society's overall economic growth, the technical and (more specifically) medical advances that have allowed women to raise their social and political status. But this progress has environmental consequences. In connection with this paradox, Nikolski asks: are there other terrains where the struggle for equality can continue without it affecting the environment? The seminar is held in English (and French). For questions, please contact Amanda Grimsbo Roswall Bio Véra Nikolski has studied at the elite school Normal Supérieure, followed by an MA in social sciences and a PhD in political science. Today, she works in public services."

This exhibition tells the story of non-Muslim communities from historically Muslim-majority cities in Asia, including (post) Soviet Central Asia, that migrated out of the region due to political instability, international intervention, and civil conflict. The exhibition emphasises the ongoing importance of their cities of origin to these communities’ sense of belonging, their cosmopolitan skills and their nuanced ways of dealing with diversity in the context of life in the diaspora. The exhibition stems from the Afterlives of Urban Muslim Asia project at the University of Sussex, University of Cambridge and Copenhagen University. The project is funded by the AHRC, and maps the migratory trajectories of non-Muslim residents in major cities in the region and explores the forms of attachment that these communities have maintained both with cities in the region and their Muslim populations. It does so with the aim of offering critical insights into forms of belonging that transcend sectarian and national identity and to enable a deeper understanding of cultural heritage.

Abstract Warum war die Zeit um 1968 in Westdeutschland auch eine der Wissenschaftsemphase? Warum erschien vielen 68ern insbesondere ein Studium der Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften als aussichtsreich, um gesellschaftliche Veränderungen herbeizuführen? Zu erklären ist dies nicht nur durch die große Bildungsexpansion in der BRD in den 1960er Jahren, in der die alten Universitäten wuchsen, neue (Reform-)Universitäten gegründet wurden und die Zahl der Hochschulzugangsberechtigten stark anstieg. Es hat auch mit der anhaltenden Popularität wissenschaftlicher Taschenbücher zu tun. Der Vortrag zeigt anhand der Buchreihen „rowohlts deutsche enzyklopädie“ und „Fischer - Bücher des Wissens“, wie schon in den frühen 1950er Jahren in der BRD Wissenschaft (insbesondere Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften) popularisiert wurden. Und wie die westdeutschen Nachkriegsleser:innen den Umgang mit Wissenschaft einübten, bevor viele von ihnen überhaupt eine Hochschule besuchen durften. Über „Tysk Fredag“ Die Freitagsvorträge sind für jedermann zugänglich. Sie eröffnen neue Perspektiven auf die deutsche und deutschsprachige Gesellschaft, Kultur und Geschichte und thematisieren auch deutsch-transnationale Themen. Jeder ist willkommen.

The essay, Des paillettes sur le compost: écoféminismes au quotidien (2022, The Paillettes on the Compost: Ecofeminisms for Daily Life) is Myriam Bahaffou’s revitalization of ecofeminism. “The goal is,” Bahaffou writes, “to reinvest this word, to understand how it is incarnated in a body (in this case, mine) rather than to appreciate its theorization in relation to a political or academic program.” In that way, and concerning ecofeminist practices inspired by thinkers like Sarah Ahmed, Audre Lorde, and bell hooks, the essay stands as an invitation to and enactment of combining feminist philosophy with lived life in a time marked by urgent environmental and climate crises. The seminar is held in English (and French). For questions, please contact Amanda Grimsbo Roswall Bio Myriam Bahaffou is a researcher of feminist philosophy in the daytime and an activist at night.

Seminar at The Union. This seminar aims to explore how contemporary art institutions are responding to the transformative impact of migration. O’Neil Lawrence, Bruno Zhu, Grada Kilomba, Subversive Bodies in Conversation: Bodies as Joyfields, Bodies as Battlefields, conversation as part of Acts of Opening Again: A Choreography of Conviviality, Haus der Kulturen der Welt (HKW), 3 June 2023. Photo: Mathias Völzke/HKW. Migration has been a key factor in the (re)shaping of societies in many parts of the globe. In a European context, societies have become sites of social contact and conflict, and their populations have become culturally pluralised. The seminar aims to enable discussion of how critical approaches to contemporary institutional practices can engage with the friction-filled struggles over issues of identity, community and history that characterise today’s culturally diverse European societies. Taking into consideration the rise of xenophobic and racial violence, and the widening gaps in class and economic realities in European societies over the last decades, the focus will be directed towards institutional practices that seek to actively counter these tendencies by focusing on equality, hospitality, positionality, universality, radical sharing and the creation of transversal alliances based on solidarity. In that sense, the seminar Decentring the Art Institution for a Postmigrant Society will explore how contemporary art institutions are dealing with the fact that society has been and continues to be shaped by migration: not only by experimenting with new exhibition formats and collecting practices but also by aiming for fundamental structural changes and institutional transformations. Theoretically, the seminar will examine the relationships between the concepts of decentring and the ideas of postmigration and seek to explore the conjunctions between these perspectives. In recent years, the concept of decentring has helped initiate a shift in perspective, aimed at jettisoning entrenched Western, Eurocentric, classist, white and male hegemonies. Simultaneously, postmigration has paved the way for a new understanding of migration as a phenomenon, which concerns all parts of society, and which cannot therefore be limited to minority cultures. In particular, the seminar will investigate how curatorial and institutional practices operating in a European context, in parallel to, or in correspondence with different regions of the Global South, engage with their colonial legacies to reflect a more accurate decolonial history: how they negotiate the societal conflicts created by the need to learn and how to live together in socio-cultural diversity and difference. Applying a transdisciplinary approach and operating at the intersections between theory and practice, the seminar will examine how these negotiation processes manifest themselves in today’s migratory societies.

Abstract The lecture will start with how nineteenth-century reports of a warming Arctic climate raised expectations of increased access to the region. The central case study will be the quest to rediscover the Norse colonists of Greenland, with whom Europe had lost contact four centuries earlier. By analysing British and American texts on the matter, we gain a new understanding of the complexities of Arctic imperialism, its ideological underpinnings, and legend's enduring impact on Western politics. The lecture will demonstrate how the beliefs surrounding the expected rediscovery of Greenland’s ‘lost colony’ influenced European and American cultural narratives in profound ways. The narratives of exploration and imperialism were closely linked to ideas about a changing climate, making the historical considerations relevant to today’s discussions. Studying the Arctic's cultural perceptions and how they impacted politics and literature presents a new interdisciplinary research agenda relevant to the Department of English, Germanic, and Romance Studies."

As the world grapples with the promises and threats of AI, at the extreme ends of both wish-fulfilment and nightmare stands a common premise: the machine that not only follows instructions, but also chooses, invents, designs, and controls. For some commentators, of course, we have already crossed that threshold. For others, we never will. What do we mean when we talk about (artificial) human intelligence? Early modern Europe (with protagonists such as Llull, Cervantes, Descartes, Leibniz, and even Kant) provides us with a key moment in a story that will help us to unearth some of the basic problems and unspoken assumptions of today’s AI catastrophists and apologists alike. Christian Benne chairs the event. William Egginton is the Decker Professor in the Humanities, chair of the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures, and Director of the Alexander Grass Humanities Institute at Johns Hopkins University. His most recent books are The Rigor of Angels: Borges, Heisenberg, Kant (2023), named in several best of 2023 lists, including The New York Times and The New Yorker; and Alejandro Jodorowsky: Filmmaker and Philosopher (2023).

But what is a family? Who should – or should not – constitute one? In addition to these central questions, many others are raised every day, both in homes and in parliaments, in academia and in religious spaces: Are people having too many or not enough children? Should the State help people reproduce? Who should take care of children and how? These questions come together in complex constellations with concepts such as gender, class, race, biology, as well as patriarchy, capitalism, culture and tradition, freedom and oppression. Given that the Family constitutes both the foundation for many people’s private lives and a key area of debate in public politics, discussions range across several disciplines, not limited to philosophy and ethics, law, economics, science and technology. Please join us at our event AfterFamily, as we will have the pleasure to have author and theorist Sophie Lewis addressing maybe the most taboo of all these questions: Should we abolish the Family? Following Lewis’ keynote, Asst. Prof. Maria Marti Castaner will give a talk on whether normative motherhood is harmful and Prof. Christina Lupton will present her research on the way first person writing speaks to the question of childcare. AfterFamily is a one-day in-person event organized by researchers from the Centre for Medical Science and Technology Studies (MEST) and the Department of English, Germanic and Romance Studies (Engerom) of UCPH.

She is currently at work on a third book manuscript entitled Enemy Feminisms, forthcoming with Haymarket in February. Her first two books, both published by Verso Books, are Full Surrogacy Now: Feminism Against Family (2019) and Abolish the Family: A Manifesto for Care and Liberation (2022). Sophie’s essays and articles appear in academic journals like Feminist Theory as well as literary ones like n+1, Harper’s, and the London Review of Books. Sophie has a PhD in Geography at Manchester University, as well as an MA Politics from the New School, and a BA in English literature from Oxford University, which was followed by an MSc in Environmental Policy (also at Oxford). Dr. Lewis teaches short courses on social and critical theory at the Brooklyn Institute for Social Research, open to all and online. She also has a visiting affiliation with the Center for Research on Feminist, Queer and Transgender Studies at the University of Pennsylvania.

Care communization and the Black American family Sophie Lewis For over two centuries, utopians of various stripes have raised the banner of the “abolition of the family”: the positive supersession of the capitalist privatization of care, including patriarchy’s prevalent mode of possessive maternalism. From the “phalansteries” of the first self-described “feminists” to the “red love” vision of the most radical Bolsheviks to the anti-imperialist lesbian-feminist efflorescence of the United States in the Long Sixties, radical movements have sought to denaturalize the institution of motherhood and imagine the communization of care. But whose families (i.e., whose private nuclear households) are most at stake in this particular field of abolitionism? U.S. settler-colonialism and chattel slavery has involved both making and breaking kinship forms, while the institutions of marriage and custody, the combined and uneven mechanisms of family policing, foster-care, adoption, and so-called child welfare generally, remain deeply co-constitutive with white supremacy. How does this history frame present-day articulations of the politics of family abolitionism? Whose Got the Kids? Christina Lupton, University of Copenhagen. This is a paper about the way first person writing speaks to the question of childcare. In poststructuralist terms is almost a given that the first person can be used positively to activate new stances and positions in the world. It is for this reason, as Eve Sedgwick asserts, that the term queer is best used in the first person. But when the first person writer speaks of the children in his or her care, that performative has other less negative affordances. Where are the children as one writes? My examples range here, from recent texts by Olga Ravn, Ben Lerner, and Kate Zambreno, back to first person writing from the 1960s which approaches more directly this problem of labor that is raised by the text itself. The widest ambition of my argument is that we have lost in the recent turn to autofiction many of the original promises of life writing as a political form closely enmeshed in the politics of care. Normative Motherhood is Making Us Sick Maria Marti Castaner, University of Copenhagen This paper argues that we will continue to misunderstand post-partum depression – both in the epistemological sense of misplacing its causes and explanation and in its therapeutic sense of ultimately failing to tackle it – if we don’t properly articulate how normative motherhood is essential to its etiology. Based on the qualitative analysis of in-depth interviews with nine women with lived experience of post-partum depression and health nurses in the Danish universal perinatal care program, we show how we cannot explain post-partum depression without normative motherhood. We illustrate the ways in which normative motherhood is displayed and internalized in the everyday life of mothers and discuss whether maternal care can be re-designed free of normative pressures.

Per Øhrgaard og prof. Janus Mortensen i samtale med studerende fra ENGEROM. Abstract Vi vil med denne diskussion sætte dannelse og humaniorastudier i centrum. Dannelse føres typisk tilbage til den Humboldtske tænkning omkring 1800 med forestillingen om enheden af forskning og uddannelse. ”Bildung” kan imidlertid ikke oversættes til uddannelse eller kompetence. Det peger på noget større, der omfatter viden, fornuft og følelser såvel som åndelig autonomi. Og dannelse foregår i det sociale rum, i en udveksling med andre. I diskussionen vil vi spørge, om denne forestilling stadig er relevant - eller kan genopfindes? Giver begrebet dannelse mening for unge og studerende, eller er det vigtigere med karrierelæring og trivsel? Er dannelse vigtig for humaniorastudier? Og for samfundet? Er der en forbindelse mellem dannelse og fremmedsprog? Og hvad vil ”digital dannelse” sige? I panelet vil dekan Kirsten Busch Nielsen, adjungeret professor emer.

Abstract Is the most important sentence in a book is the first sentence? Is it that “[e]verything follows from it,” as Paul Auster argues? “The first words have to stop the reader in his tracks and tell him that he’s in a different place now, that he’s entered the world of the book.” (2017). Needless to say, a beginning cannot be understood in and of itself. It relates in multiple ways to what precedes it (e.g. language, culture, a canon, a set of critical and/or creative thoughts) and to what follows it (e.g. the narrative trajectory it announces, epitomizes, informs and/or determines). First lines take many forms that, each in their way, implant if only imperceptibly, certain expectations in the reader’s mind and invite us to approach the ensuing story in particular ways. With a special focus on the conceptual and emotional power concentrated in narrative beginnings, this colloquium will look at Paul Auster’s verbal and visual work to address such questions as: How do first lines affect and/or inform the story they open? To what do they refer? How do we respond to different types of verbal inception? Is there congruency between the beginning and ending? Speakers I.B.

I dag står Friedrich for de fleste som den mest ikoniske tyske romantiker i 1800-tallet. Med dette års fejring af kunstnerens fødsel kan det være svært at forestille sig, at hans popularitet i samtiden aftog og at han kort efter sin død i 1840 røg ud i langvarig glemsel. Munk Rösing, der netop er bogaktuel med Friedrichs farver (Turbine), fokuserer i oplægget på sanseligheden og det materielle i kunstnerens malerier, hans skildring af en menneskefremmed natur og hans blikomvendinger. Mens Friedrich – efter sin uddannelse ved Kunstakademiet i København - helst ikke forlod sin tyske hjemegn ved Dresden, var den yngre landskabsmaleri H.J. Carmiencke fra Hamburg en optimistisk kosmopolit. Han håbede, at hans lykke var gjort i København, men endte med at udvandre til New York, hvor han døde i 1867. Modsat Friedrich er hans kunst stor set ukendt i dag. Krogh tematiserer Carmienckes problemer i dansk kunstliv, for krig og politiske konflikter gjorde hans tyske stil upopulær blandt de nationalsindede. Med denne dobbeltforelæsning introduceres visualitets- og kunsthistorie som en vigtig del af kulturhistoriske studier, og vi inviterer derfor til en lystvandring i romantikkens billedverden. Præsentation Lilian Munk Rösing er litteraturlektor ved Københavns Universitet og litteraturkritiker ved Politiken. Forfatter til bl.a. Anna Anchers rum (2018) og Friedrichs farver (2023).

Auditorium 23.0.49";"Public Defence of PhD Thesis by Martin Fog Arndal.";"Public Defence of PhD Thesis by Martin Fog Arndal. Abstract Touches of Nature examines the emergence and possibility of a form of distant touch in writings from the German and British Romantic periods. Focusing on the works of Mary Wollstonecraft, Friedrich von Hardenberg (Novalis), Karoline von Günderrode, and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, this dissertation explores how the terms touch and Berührung are used in order to develop an idea of touch that transgresses its meanings as either actual-physical contact or emotional change. In particular, this dissertation aims to explore instances of nature’s distant touches as experiences in which these authors communicate a sensation of being touched by nature, a sensation that is felt both on and below the skin. It is, in other words, tactile, emotional, and distant. These authors, as this study argues, explore the possibilities of these touches within the emerging notion of an organic conception of nature, in which natural forces are thought of as inherently active, partly material, and able to exert effects that potentially could be felt. In combination with discourses of natural philosophy (Naturphilosophie), physiology, aesthetics, and physics, Wollstonecraft, Novalis, Günderrode, and Coleridge expand upon the powers of touch, making it effective in the natural world. Following this, this dissertation finds that in certain touching moments, the subject is led beyond a connection with material reality and comes into contact, though briefly, with a set of deeper connections that tie everything together into a larger whole. What these Romantics feel in nature’s distant touch is, hence, both a bond to the world as well as the very bond that structures that world.

About the dissertation Migrant Representations: Life-story, Investigation, Picture (Liverpool: Liverpool University Press / Oxford University Press (US edition / online; 2022; pp. 304)Peter Leese, Associate Professor, Department of English, Germanic and Romance Studies, University of Copenhagen. Short description ‘Migrant Representations’ explores the depiction of migrant experiences from the late 18th to the early 21st century through a series of contrasting, comparative case studies. Two questions frame my account. First, how were the lives of migrants rendered in the past? Second, how has the contemporary figure of the migrant (asylum seeker, benefits scrounger, self-made entrepreneur, etc) been constructed historically, politically and aesthetically? The book contextualises, analyses and compares accounts from migrants who have connections with Britain, with comparisons or parallel cases from elsewhere. The analysis of life-stories is complemented by the theme of investigation: how politically motivated observers, journalists, anthropologists have interpreted the lives and experiences of migrants. The interplay between self-representation and the investigation of the migrant experience is discussed in the third section of the study, which gathers visual evidence from both groups. Throughout I explore the sense-making procedures (talking, writing, filming), social networks (family, community, diaspora) and cultural resources (history, language, genres) used by migrants and their observers. My intention is not to give a comprehensive overview or ‘history of migration’ but to acknowledge and investigate the varieties of migrant experience, to more fully recognise singularity. Extended description How do migrants see themselves? How are migrants seen and understood by their host societies? In our global age of mobile labour, instant opinion and intense social division, these two questions demand deeper and more complex understanding. As a serial migrant who moved from England to Poland (1992-2009) and then to Denmark (in 2009), I see these questions as vivid, practical concerns affecting the everyday life of my Anglo-Polish-Danish family. My individual life story of migration informs and enhances my professional perspective on the migrant. As a social and cultural historian, with an expertise in trauma studies, I use my varied disciplinary background, wide geographical expertise and eclectic methodologies in my innovative approach to the study of migrants. Migrant Representations: Life-story, Investigation, Picture, my recently published monograph with Liverpool University Press (in the UK; and Oxford University Press in the US) employs a unique methodology and structure to investigate its subject. My monograph consists of a sequence of ‘snapshot moments’ that examine the figure of the migrant in Britain, in Europe, and globally, at particular times from the late 18th to the early 21st century. The study proceeds through this series of contrasting, comparative case studies to address two research questions. First, how have images of movement, mobility and settlement been constructed in speech, writing and picture by individuals who have first-hand experience of migration: for instance, in the diary of an Irish labourer, the films and photographs of a Lithuanian refugee, or the tape-recorded letters of an Indian doctor? Second, how have speech, writing and picture been used to make ‘outside’ representations of the migrant, for example, a missionary’s report, journalist’s photographs or next-door neighbour’s letters? By considering these two broad questions, I investigate how migrants understand themselves and how others perceive or fail to see them. As a historian and serial migrant, I am fascinated by changes in migrant representation across time: I am eager to better understand how documents (police reports, social surveys, family photographs, among others) are produced and interpreted as knowledge. These research questions are traditionally answered within nation-state or ethnic-group studies, but the globalised conditions of 21st-century mobility require an altogether new methodology. My investigation is, therefore, a transnational, comparative and often micro-historical act of past making. It is a reading of historical changes, communicative events and individual life stories, which incorporates the Indian subcontinent, the Americas, eastern and western Europe, as well as parts of Africa. I examine cases connected to, but also contrasting with, Britain. Migrant Representations crosses thematic and geographical boundaries; I am particularly interested in personal stories that illuminate wider themes, but I also contextualise individuals and themes by the use of macro-historical overviews. In place of a continuous narrative, my study will use three contrasting analytic categories: psychological, social and visual. In its geographical reach, my book compares life stories from both within and outside the western and English-speaking world. In each chapter I focus on two contrasting cases. The analysis of these instances of ‘Self-representation’ in Part One will be complemented by the theme of ‘Investigation’ in Part Two. Here I consider how various journalists, social scientists and film-makers have interpreted the lives and experiences of migrants. The interplay between ‘Self-representation’ and ‘Investigation’ is discussed in Part Three, ‘Picture’, which gathers visual evidence from both the migrants and the investigators. Throughout, the study explores the sense-making procedures (talking, writing, filming), social networks (family, community, diaspora) and cultural resources (history, language, genre) used by migrants and their observers. My aim is not to give a comprehensive ‘history of migration’ overview, but to acknowledge and explore the varieties of migrant representation, to raise critical questions and to recognize singularity. Migrant Representations constitutes a transnational cultural history from below; its comparative perspective juxtaposes non-western and western accounts on an equal footing to give new insights. There is, to my knowledge, no precedent for, or previous example of, such a history. My approach reflects a particular understanding of historical knowledge best summarised by Raphael Samuel, who sees such a history as ‘a hybrid form of knowledge, syncretising past and present, memory and myth, the written record and the spoken word’. To achieve this kind of hybrid synthesis, I ‘triangulate’ the migrant figure via telling, interpreting and looking in order to consider how our understandings of migration and migrants have changed. In conceiving and constructing this study, I have drawn on not only professional historical practice, but also a broader critical-interpretive dissenting tradition. In particular, I have been inspired by the highly praised, innovative and influential non-fiction trilogy (1967-82) by John Berger, writer, and Jean Mohr, photographer. Especially their second book, A Seventh Man (1975), is an illuminating expression of changes in the aesthetics of migrant representation from the later 20th century. Berger and Mohr’s model of investigation into the lives of the culturally deprived is fundamental to my new readings. My monograph will not replicate Berger and Mohr’s aesthetic moves, but on a far larger historical and geographical scale will seek to humanise, bring new insights, and more fully acknowledge the varieties of migrant experience. Additionally, my ongoing parallel research into histories of trauma has proven highly relevant to a deeper understanding of the social and psychological processes of migration and related memory formation. Trauma, troubled memories and the remembered self are important aspects of the migrant experience; understanding them is crucial to comprehend changing self-interpretations of migrants across their lifetimes. Migrant Representations is a provocative intervention in scholarly and public debates on global mobility. Its central concern is a radically new appreciation of the imaginative, psychological and social processes related to movement, adaptation and settlement. The book’s hybrid synthesis of narrative psychology, social and cultural history as well as textual analysis generate innovative, transferable and trans-disciplinary methodologies. It monograph reveals a fuller, historicised understanding of the interaction between cultures, personal memory procedures and public discourses surrounding the image of the migrant. This unique and revealing study engages both general readers and scholars from across a range of disciplines. Short description in Danish 'Migrantrepresentationer' udforsker skildringen af ​​migrantoplevelser fra slutningen af ​​det 18. til det tidlige 21. århundrede gennem en række kontrasterende, komparative casestudier. To spørgsmål indrammer min fortælling. Det første er, hvordan blev migranternes liv fortalt/husket i fortiden? Det andet spørgsmål er, hvordan blev den moderne migrantfigur (asylansøger, kontanthjælpsmodtager, selvstændig iværksætter osv.) konstrueret historisk, politisk og æstetisk? Bogen kontekstualiserer, analyserer og sammenligner beretninger fra migranter, der har forbindelser til Storbritannien, sammenlignet med lignede eller sideløbende cases fra andre steder. Analysen af ​​livshistorier suppleres med undersøgelsestemaet: Hvordan politisk motiverede observatører, journalister, antropologer har fortolket migranters liv og oplevelser. Samspillet mellem selvrepræsentation og undersøgelsen af ​​migrantoplevelsen diskuteres i studiets tredje afsnit, som samler visuelle beviser fra begge grupper. Igennem hele skildringen, udforsker jeg de meningsskabende handlemåder (at tale, skrive, filme), sociale netværk (familie, samfund, diaspora) og kulturelle ressourcer (historie, sprog, genrer), der bruges af migranter og deres observatører. Hensigt er ikke at give et omfattende overview eller 'migrationshistorie', men at anerkende og undersøge de forskellige migranterfaringer, for at skabe en mere dybdegående anerkendelse af det enkelte menneske.

"Things ceasing to be: Cormac McCarthy&#8217;s environmental vision";"Stefanie Heine (Department of Arts and Cultural Studies) and Martyn Bone (Department of English, Germanic and Romance Studies).";"2024-03-15";"10:00";"";"17:00";"South Campus, auditorium 23.0.49";"One-day symposium.";"This one-day symposium will consider the career of U.S. author Cormac McCarthy in the wake of his death in June 2023. McCarthy is recognized as one of the most significant U.S. authors of the twentieth and early twenty-first century. His career spanned six decades and twelve novels, from The Orchard Keeper (1965) to Stella Maris (2023). All the Pretty Horses (1992) won the National Book Award for Fiction; The Road (2006) won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction; and Blood Meridian (1985) was named by the New York Times Book Review among the best U.S. novels of the last twenty-five years, second only to Toni Morrison’s Beloved (1987). All the Pretty Horses, The Road, and No Country for Old Men (2007) were adapted into major films: the Coen brothers’ adaption of No Country won four Academy Awards including Best Film. McCarthy also wrote plays, screenplays, and short stories. The symposium will pay particular attention to McCarthy’s environmental vision. In 2007, Guardian columnist and activist George Monbiot declared The Road to be “the most important environmental book ever written.” Yet already by that point, McCarthy’s writing had been engaging for four decades with issues of significant interest to the environmental humanities. The event is sponsored by the Department of English, Germanic and Romance Studies (Engerom); the Department of Arts and Cultural Studies (IKK); the Center for Applied Ecological Thinking (CAPE); Engerom’s Environmental Humanities research group; IKK’s Art and Earth research group; and the US Embassy, Copenhagen.

Parsing how distinctive compositional practices function as a language-internal resistance against anthropocentrism and nomenclature, I will look closely at moments where written matter reveals a weak non-human agency. In Blood Meridian, desert terrain is staged as an elemental medium generating aesthetic effects. The geological and elemental forces in many desert descriptions are inseparable from forces of language and textual matter. In the passages from Blood Meridian I will discuss, one can observe a correlation of elemental and written matter assuming form. The elemental form-building and decomposition processes described in the passages (geological formations or figures emerging and disappearing in a desert landscape) resemble the processes of form-building and decomposition one can observe in the traces of the writing process when investigating the text’s drafts. In other words: the development of written matter in the novel-in-progress sometimes corresponds to geological processes like erratics and plate tectonics. For example, a pivotal landscape description in Blood Meridian is concerned with continental drift, which, in one draft is described as “floating worlds”. In McCarthy’s drafts, we encounter clusters of “floating words”: erratic textual blocs that are rewritten again and again, sometimes torn apart, moved around in the manuscripts, and placed in different locations of the novel. Terror Nullius: Desert Gothic in J.M. Coetzee and Cormac McCarthy Rune Graulund (University of Southern Denmark, Odense) The talk will trace the development of colonial desert histories in order to outline different stages of assimilation of and to desert regions as a national landscape. In this, the concept of terra nullius is important. This idea of the desert as ‘nobody’s land’ should in principle have made it more easily subsumed by the imperialist project. However, with the eventual elision from terra nullius on to what will in the talk be termed ‘terror nullius’, it becomes clear over time that this has historically not been the case. In a comparative reading of J. M. Coetzee’s Waiting for the Barbarians (1980) with Cormac McCarthy’s Blood Meridian (1985), the talk will argue that the horror of gothic can be expressed in the horrible clarity of glaring sunlight as well as it can in the obfuscation of darkness, albeit with a different inflection. In the negative aesthetic of the colonial terrain, the desert becomes a site of unsight in that, as is expressed by Coetzee as in McCarthy, atrocities remain easily hidden. Cormac McCarthy and the Aesthetics of Extractivism Harry Stecopoulos (University of Iowa) Over the past twenty years, extractivist theory has revolutionized the way humanists and social scientists understand resource capitalism, broadly defined. For Eduardo Gudynas, extractivism is “measured by the three characteristics of: (1) physical indicators (volume and weight); (2) environmental intensity; and (3) destination,” and any theory of this depletory practice must highlight these factors. Other scholars have pushed back against this circumscribed understanding of extractivism, arguing that even as “extractivìsmo” may have originated in Latin American examinations of oil and mining, the theory has broader application. For Verónica Gago & Sandro Mezzadra, “extraction cannot be reduced to operations linked to raw materials turned commodities at the global level…Extraction also targets the labor and life of populations, aiming at extracting value from them.” This emphasis on “the labor and life of populations” has proven crucial to how thinkers like Gago understand what she dubs “body-territory…a practical concept that demonstrates how the exploitation of common, community…territories involves the violation of the body of each person, as well as the collective body, through dispossession.” In my talk, I draw on the expanded definition of extractivism articulated by Martín Arboleda, Gago and Mezzara, Saskia Sassen, and other theorists to reconsider the aesthetics and politics of Cormac McCarthy’s ecological vision. Examining well-known works like All the Pretty Horses and Blood Meridian, and lesser-known texts like Cities on the Plain and The Passenger, I contend that McCarthy manifests a sensitivity to the interrelation of bodies and territories that overlaps with the work of these thinkers. In Blood Meridian, for example, the Judge’s interest in extracting potassium nitrate and sulfur cannot be separated from his homicidal quest for the scalps of Indigenous people. Yet I also argue that McCarthy approaches extraction in the converse manner, treating various practices of digging, excavation, and exploration as activities that don’t lead to the acquisition of minerals or labor or bodies but rather result in objects or animals of limited value, or nothing at all. Consider the anonymous figure making countless small holes in the epilogue to Blood Meridian or the feral pups excavated in Cities on the Plain or the ruined oil rig explored in The Passenger. Committed to the idea that, as one character in All the Pretty Horses puts it, “there’s still a lot of money in the ground,” McCarthy’s characters dig and disinter in the hopes of finding treasure, but their extractive designs often end up absurdist failures. McCarthy offers a critique of resource capitalism not only by depicting a postapocalyptic world as in The Road but also by representing extractivism as a neo-Beckettian pantomime endlessly repeated—a tragic performance that exhausts us as surely as it destroys the planet. Whited Meridian: Cormac McCarthy, the Bomb, and the Anthropocene Tore Rye Andersen (Aarhus University) When the cover image of Cormac McCarthy’s much-anticipated novel The Passenger was first released, Reddit-users were quick to point out that the cover of the novel most of all resembled a pamphlet of the kind that religious cults usually hand out – a pamphlet promising a golden dawn. A few skeptical users speculated that the golden glow on the cover didn’t originate in Paradise or a bright future, and when the slipcased version of the two novels was published, the source of the golden light was finally revealed as the atomic bomb, or the Bomb, for short. The Bomb is evidently a central theme in The Passenger and Stella Maris, and in my paper I will analyze how it is portrayed across the two novels. I will also argue that the Bomb may to some extent have present all along in the margins of McCarthy’s fiction, and that its centrality in his last two novels can best be described as a natural culmination of his longstanding interest in humanity’s abuse of the natural world. Moreover, I will argue that this persistent interest in important ways anticipate current debates on the Anthropocene – the notion that we have entered a new geological period where human activities have now reached an extent where they leave a lasting impact on the planet. In Lieu of a World: Scarcity and Material Determinism in The Road Rasmus Simonsen This paper examines the nature of scarcity in the post-apocalyptic world of The Road. With the world as we know it gone, McCarthy paves the way for a discussion of a new material ontology that depends on the dissolution of conventional agency. For this reason, the paper focuses on the enduring presence of things themselves to show how self-determinism gives way to a kind of material determinism that in turn orders the agency of the characters and the violent circumstances that they are exposed to and participate in to varying degrees. To this end, the paper moves away from the subject-centered readings that dominate scholarship on The Road to show instead that the “deterministic” quality of relations in the novel is a function of its exploration of interobjectivity and the “thingness” of things. The novel suggests that once a thing’s referent is forgotten, its “sacred idiom” is erased and the world is reduced to “a raw core of parsible entities” (McCarthy 88). Slowly, in the novel, the presence of things fades from the human gaze, as exemplified by the fact that, travelling through the wasteland, “the boy [used to] sometimes pick up something and carry it with him for a while but he didnt do that any more” (200). Turning to the perspective of things opens the novel to a new set of relations and connections that are not bound by the concept of human intentionality. Developing what I call the “deterministic materiality” of the novel, my argument explores moments of rest in the novel—what we could also call its narratological sojourns—to consider the fading thingness of the world that nevertheless makes room for a kind of objective metaphysics. A Flood of Imitation: Recycling Faulkner’s Wasted Landscapes in Child of God Martyn Bone (University of Copenhagen) Cormac McCarthy is no stranger to comparisons with William Faulkner. Orville Prescott’s New York Times review of The Orchard Keeper (1965) opined that McCarthy’s debut employed “so many of Faulkner’s literary devices and mannerisms that he half submerges his own talents beneath a flood of imitation.” Eight years later, The Washington Post declared Child of God (1973) to be “an extraordinary book” while lauding McCarthy as “a genuine heir to the Faulkner tradition.” This presentation reconsiders the intertextual relationship between Faulkner and McCarthy’s fiction by reading Child of God with reference to what Susan Scott Parrish calls the “modern aesthetics of ecological crisis” permeating Faulkner’s work, especially As I Lay Dying (1930). McCarthy “recycles” Faulkner in Sineád Moynihan’s sense of moving beyond familiar debates about “literary worth and value” associated with “‘recycling’ a canonical text” to address “all that is framed as ‘waste’ (including human beings).” I also take seriously (and somewhat literally) Prescott’s early charge that McCarthy’s fiction is “submerge[d]” in “a flood of imitation”: in As I Lay Dying and Child of God, land and people alike are laid waste by catastrophic flooding, as well as deforestation and despoliation. The novel’s mapping of wasted land and “wasted humans” (Zygmunt Bauman)—not only Ballard but also the corpses he accumulates--builds to an extreme weather event. Child of God’s flood recycles the equivalent sequence in As I Lay Dying: Ballard’s attempt to cross the swollen creek includes a log looming over Lester much like the log that bears down on the Bundrens’ cart. McCarthy’s flood sequence is harder to historicize, however, than Faulkner’s, which mediates the 1927 Mississippi flood. On one hand, Ballard’s “vitriolic invocation for the receding of the waters” may index how humans have become God-like (or child-of-God-like) in our destructive belief that we can command the environment. On the other, the log’s “animate ill will” may suggest that ultimately we exercise little control over a wasted world recast in our name: the Anthropocene. Environmental Lost Cause-ism: McCarthy’s Diagnostic Vision in The Road Jay Watson (University of Mississippi) Interestingly but also fittingly, the US South is emerging as an important locus for speculative climate fictions or “cli-fi”: fables of rising sea levels, superstorms, species loss, zoonotic disease, resource wars, global weirding, cultural collapse, and other unintended consequences of planetary-scale terraforming on regional ground. In what follows, I want to take up Cormac McCarthy’s 2006 novel The Road, the first SF novel to win the Pulitzer Prize for fiction, as an example of how southern writers have turned to speculative fiction to interrogate a form of environmental melancholy and nostalgia I call Holocene lost cause-ism, and to entertain potential alternatives to its stultifying symptoms. The environmental signature of the planetary-scale catastrophe that occasions the narrative—perhaps an impact event, perhaps volcanism, perhaps an act of war—is climate derangement: the descent of bone-chilling cold as the atmosphere fills with particulate matter, and the constant threat of wildfires after the cessation of photosynthesis reduces the forests of the former US South to massive tinderboxes of standing deadwood. The climate disaster brings cultural disintegration in its wake, a spiral of ecological cause and social effect that invites comparisons with our current specter of the Anthropocene. The novel’s focal character is a deeply melancholic personality, a widower and father whose sharply focused mourning for his wife is dwarfed by interminable grief for the entire world wiped out by the catastrophe, a lost oikos whose affordances he tends to evoke, and encrypt, in environmental terms. As he struggles to keep life in himself and his young son, his primary survival strategies reveal the telltale symptoms of Holocene lost cause-ism: his psychic overinvestments (1) in the road network and other elements of petromodern infrastructure that still stretch across the novel’s devitalized landscapes, (2) in houses and dwellings that evoke a no longer tenable sedentary life, and (3) in the humanistic worldview he clings to against the seeming meaninglessness of existence on a dying planet. Against this obsolescent and dangerous Holocene mentality, The Road poses the emergent Anthropocene and posthuman orientation of the son as a literal child of environmental collapse. McCarthy, in other words, employs a generational scheme to test Holocene and Anthropocene sensibilities against the exigencies of climate change and mass extinction. "

Abstract Jena 1800: Mit den Ideen der Französischen Revolution geraten nicht nur die politischen Verhältnisse in Europa ins Wanken. Eine ganze Generation von jungen Dichtern und Philosophen beschließt, die Welt neu zu denken. Die führenden Köpfe – darunter die Brüder Schlegel mit ihren Frauen, der Philosoph Schelling und der Dichter Novalis – treffen sich in der thüringischen Universitätsstadt an der Saale, um eine „Republik der freien Geister“ zu errichten. Sie stellen nicht nur gesellschaftliche Traditionen in Frage, sie revolutionieren mit ihrem Blick auf das Individuum und die Natur zugleich auch unser Verständnis von Freiheit und Wirklichkeit – bis heute. Farbig und leidenschaftlich erzählt Peter Neumann von dieser ungewöhnlichen Denkerkommune, die nicht weniger vorbereitete als den geistigen Aufbruch in die Moderne. Kann man Philosophie als einen Roman erzählen? Darüber diskutiert Dr. Jesper Lundsfryd Rasmussen (Kopenhagen) mit dem Autor Dr. Peter Neumann (Berlin/Hamburg).

Abstract Das Konzept Translationskultur basiert auf der Feldtheorie, u. a. legt sie den Fokus auf die AkteurInnen der Translation, das Kapital, aber es vermeidet die Konzepte Feld und Habitus. Im deutschsprachigen Raum hat sich das Konzept als produktiver Rahmen für die Untersuchung der Agency der TranslatorInnen gezeigt. Das ist sehr übergreifend und kann deswegen in unterschiedlichsten Fallstudien angewendet werden. Das ist ein Vorteil, aber gleichzeitig eine Herausforderung, weil man von einer Beschreibung einer Translationskultur eine tiefere und breitere Analyse erwartet. Um das zu lösen, habe ich in meiner Dissertation ein Modell für die Analyse einer Translationskultur entwickelt. Ich habe die Translationskultur eines Verlages untersucht und die Rolle der ÜbersetzerInnen bei der Verlagsentwicklung in der Zwischenkriegszeit bewiesen.

De første romantikere og opfindelsen af selvet”, som netop er udkommet i en dansk oversættelse (v. Nanna Lund). Forelæsningen finder sted på tysk, og bagefter er der mulighed for at stille spørgsmål på engelsk og tysk. Diskussionen modereres af Anna Sandberg, Engerom. I sin bog Die fabelhaften Rebellen. Die frühen Romantiker und die Erfindung des Ich fortæller Andrea Wulf ikke kun om den nok mest turbulente vennekreds i tysk åndshistorie, men forklarer også, hvorfor vi op til i dag er udspændt mellem selvoptagethed og de nervepirrende muligheder affødt af den frie vilje. At vælge mellem individets rettigheder og ansvar for fællesskabet er ligeså vanskeligt i dag som dengang. Mens den Franske Revolution forandrede Europas politiske landskab, tog de unge romantikere fra Jena fat på åndens revolution. Til denne kreds af rebeller hørte Schlegel-brødrene, Novalis, filosofferne Fichte, Schelling og Hegel, men også Goethe og Schiller samt videnskabsmanden Alexander von Humboldt og forfatteren Caroline Schlegel. Deres tænkning var optaget af selvets kreative magt, kunstens og videnskabens betingelser, samspillet mellem menneske og natur og den sande betydning af frihed. Andrea Wulf er født i Indien, opvokset i Tyskland og bor i London. Hendes verdensbestseller Alexander von Humboldt und die Erfindung der Natur er oversat til 27 sprog og har vundet en lang række priser. Andrea Wulf skriver desuden for New York Times, Financial Times, The Atlantic og The Guardian. Hun er medlem af PEN American Center og fellow i Royal Society of Literature.

If you would like to attend, please contact me for a copy of the pre-circulated paper. Abstract “The Bear,” the fifth story within William Faulkner’s Go Down, Moses, stands as one of the most acclaimed hunting narratives in the U.S. literary canon. The story documents (white) men’s obsession with Old Ben, the mythical alpha male black bear, as it is manifested in a grand annual ritual: the bear hunt. The story culminates with the related deaths of Ben and Sam's fathers, a mixed-blood huntsman of both Native American and African American descent. Scholarship on Faulkner’s story has paired the deaths of these two “black” characters and noted the racialized discourse and racialized violence sustained in white men’s hunting adventures. Yet the hunting ritual’s systematic reenactment of the cultural strategies of social death, as a condition of ontological black death, remains largely overlooked. In this paper, I want to suggest that the hunt’s investment in perpetuating black social death is critical to scholarly understanding of how Faulkner interrogates the southern hunting ritual’s complicity in the ideology of race. I will investigate the implementation and intensification of “natal alienation” – for sociologist Orlando Patterson, the defining quality of social death – through the ritual of the bear hunt: in the tracking, hunting, and killing of Ben, and the death of Sam."

We are especially interested in the ways different kinds of media technology, ranging from print and woodcut illustrations to photography and film have shaped conceptions of horror, gothic and the occult.

Online attendance To register for the online part of the conference on 23 November, please use the following link: https://forms.office.com/e/q9Cagxn0p6 Conference theme There has been a long cultural fascination with the macabre, horrific, and downright creepy across European society. From the early popular novels of writers such as Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1818), and the incredible visual spectacles of fairground phantasmagoria, to the growth of professional mediumship from the mid 1800s onward, and the telepathic radio experiments of the early twentieth century, Europeans have been entranced by all things spooky and ghoulish. The nineteenth century in particular was a tumultuous age of transformation, where conceptions of reality unraveled before people’s eyes. Media and technology unleashed a phantasmagoric panorama of alternate realities, and the specter of invisible agents. Interpretations and encounters at the margins of common understanding of how naturalistic and technological systems work fostered beliefs, superstitions, and myths. The ethereal presence of communications without bodies suggested the possibility of supernatural forces at play. It was within this ever-changing social climate that interests in the occult, the gothic, the extraordinary, and the horrible flourished. So much of the popular conversations surrounding the rise and growth of occultic media during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries connected to debates surrounding human belief, perception, trust, and the standards of scientific evidence. Stories about exposure and fraud were rife within this context. These issues continue to remain important in our modern age when media sensationalism is so endemic. To a certain extent, a study of popular occulture in Europe around the turn of the twentieth century, and the ways in which practitioners and challengers manipulated new media technologies to present carefully crafted stories to broad publics, links to our own contemporary discussions in the twenty-first century about media deception and fake news. A study of the rise of popular occulture in Europe, therefore, provides important historical lessons for understanding the continued surgency of media misperception that is rampant today.

The lecture is introduced by Dean Kirsten Busch Nielsen, Faculty of Humanities. Abstract The war in Ukraine, accelerating climate change, and tenacious racism – these are just a few of the challenges Europeans see themselves faced with today. It may sound surprising, but to a large extent, these are problems of collective memory. So, how can the interdisciplinary study of memory help us understand and address these challenges? The war in Ukraine is fueled by Russian misconstructions of the past, which were a long time in the making (such as a sweeping ‘victim narrative’ ranging from Mongol invasions through the Great Patriotic War to today’s NATO). Our inability to react fast and adequately to climate change (despite seeing the evidence of floods and draughts at our very doorsteps) has also to do with ingrained habits of (not) thinking and (not) acting, which are passed on from generation to generation. And the fact that racism and antisemitism lingers in Europe and can suddenly erupt with full force is a result of the mechanism of collective memory, where nothing is ever fully forgotten. This lecture is an introduction to the research of a relatively new field – memory studies - which connects history, sociology and psychology with language, media and culture studies, in order to understand how we construct the past and how the past shapes our present and future.

I en verden, hvor geopolitiske spændinger stiger og gamle alliancer knager i fugerne, vil udfaldet af valget komme til at præge udviklingen af den globale verdensorden og Europas plads i den. Men hvordan påvirker det amerikanske præsidentvalg den politiske situation i Europa? Det spørgsmål stiller vi til et panel af forskere fra Institut for engelsk, germansk og romansk på Københavns Universitet. På baggrund af deres indgående kendskab til Frankrig, Spanien, Tyskland, Storbritannien samt de europæiske højreradikale bevægelser vil de diskutere de komplekse forbindelser mellem det amerikanske præsidentvalg og Europas politiske landskab.

Seminar og paneldebat. Siden maj 1898 er der blevet konkurreret om det italienske mesterskab i herrefodbold og det er kun sket fire gange, at en fodboldklub fra Syditalien har vundet det årlige mesterskab. Hvorfor skulle der gå 72 år, inden en syditaliensk klub vandt fodboldmesterskabet for første gang? Hvorfor skulle der gå yderligere 17 år, før det lykkedes igen, og yderligere 33 år mellem det tredje og fjerde mesterskab (i 1990 og 2023)? Hvilken sammenhæng er der mellem disse kendsgerninger på den ene side og de kulturelle, politiske og økonomiske forskelle, der findes mellem Nord- og Syditalien på den anden? Afspejler fodboldsporten disse særlige italienske, historiske forhold? Er fodbold en kampplads for andre problematikker end sport? Disse og andre spørgsmål vil blive belyst af dagens oplægsholdere. Efter fire korte oplæg af ca. 15 minutters varighed inviteres til diskussion - også med publikum.

Ghosh’s other works, which are in the genres of climate change, climate fiction, and histories of capitalism include The Sea of Poppies, The Glass Palace, and The Great Derangement. The Nutmeg’s Curse: “In 1621, Dutch East India Company soldiers went on a genocidal rampage in the Banda Islands, a tiny archipelago that at the time produced the world’s entire supply of once-lucrative nutmeg. In the fate of those islanders massacred for a tree, and in the exploitation that ensued, Ghosh spies the seeds of today’s climate crisis, reframing colonialism as ‘the project of muting and subduing the Earth’. It’s a powerful, personal polemic in which storytelling plays an essential role. Ghosh also has a solution to propose, one that requires us to summon radical empathy and draw deep on indigenous beliefs from around the world.” The Nutmeg’s Curse | Fiction | The Guardian We look forward to welcoming you to this timely talk in October!

Market Radicals and the Dream of a World Without Democracy. During this public talk, Historian Quinn Slobodian will discuss his “revelatory” bestseller with journalist Rune Lykkeberg from Dagbladet Information. His previous work on The Globalists and Market Civilizations, are all landmark studies of the histories of capitalism. Crack-Up Capitalism follows the most notorious radical libertarians from Milton Friedman to Peter Thiel-around the globe as they search for the perfect space for capitalism. Historian Quinn Slobodian leads us from Hong Kong in the 1970s to South Africa in the late days of apartheid, from the neo-Confederate South to the former frontier of the American West, from the medieval City of London to the gold vaults of right-wing billionaires, and finally into the world's oceans and war zones, charting the relentless quest for a blank slate where market competition is unfettered by democracy. A masterful work of economic and intellectual history, Crack-Up Capitalism offers both a new way of looking at the world and a new vision of coming threats. Full of rich details and provocative analysis, Crack-Up Capitalism offers an alarming view of a possible future.

The Association EDiLiC aims to contribute to the dissemination and discussion of knowledge developed in the field of education and linguistic and cultural diversity. We are welcoming scholars and educational practitioners to present their work at the 10th International EDiLiC Conference. Participation is possible through the presentation of papers, workshops, and panel session with three papers on the same topic. So far, the EDiLiC conferences have been held in France, Greece, Hungary, Poland, Portugal, Spain, and Switzerland. Copenhagen as the venue for the 10th EDiLiC conference in 2023 opens new opportunities for collaborations between the Nordic countries and the countries that are traditionally represented in EDiLiC. The 10th International Conference of the Association EDiLiC will be a forum for dialogue between all those engaged in research and practice in plurilingual education, pluricultural education, Content and Language Integrated Learning, and the intersections between these fields, with a particular focus on spaces of transitions, continuity, and disruptions across educational levels and learning contexts. In relation to vertical transitions, the conference is interested in contributions focusing on progressions and disruptions between preprimary, primary, secondary, and tertiary education, e.g., taking into account epistemological and cognitive, socio-cultural and institutional transitions across educational levels. In relation to horizontal transitions, contributions could, e.g., analyze and discuss the potential and the challenges associated with the transition between plurilingual education in formal and non-formal contexts and the integration of home languages. Furthermore, the intersections between plurilingual education, pluricultural education, and Content and Language Integrated Learning could be discussed. The conference also raises the question of how to build bridges to the labour market.

L'Association EDiLiC a pour but de contribuer à la diffusion et à la discussion des connaissances développées dans le domaine de l'éducation et de la diversité linguistique et culturelle. Nous invitons les universitaires et les praticiens de l'éducation à présenter leur travail lors du 10e congrès international EDiLiC. La participation est possible par la présentation de communications basées sur la recherche, d’ateliers et des panels se composant de trois communications sur le même thème. Jusqu'à présent, les congrès EDiLiC ont eu lieu en France, en Grèce, en Hongrie, en Pologne, au Portugal, en Espagne et en Suisse. Copenhague, qui accueillera le 10ème congrès EDiLiC en 2023, ouvre de nouvelles possibilités de collaboration entre les pays nordiques et les pays traditionnellement représentés à EDiLiC. Le 10ème congrès international de l'association EDiLiC sera un forum pour contribuer au dialogue entre et avec tous ceux qui sont engagés dans la recherche et l'éducation plurilingue, l'éducation pluriculturelle et l’enseignement d'une matière intégrée à une langue étrangère (EMILE), ainsi que dans les intersections entre ces domaines, avec un accent particulier sur les espaces de transitions, de continuité et de ruptures à travers les niveaux éducatifs et les contextes d'apprentissage. En ce qui concerne les transitions verticales, le congrès est intéressé par des contributions axées sur la progression et les ruptures entre l'enseignement préprimaire, primaire, secondaire et supérieur, par exemple en tenant compte des transitions épistémologiques et cognitives, socioculturelles et institutionnelles entre les niveaux d'enseignement. En ce qui concerne les transitions horizontales, les contributions pourraient, par exemple, analyser et discuter le potentiel et les défis associés à la transition entre l'éducation plurilingue dans des contextes formels et non formels, et l'intégration des langues familiales. En outre, les intersections entre l'éducation plurilingue, l'éducation pluriculturelle et l’EMILE pourraient être discutées. Le congrès soulève également la question de savoir comment nous pouvons établir des liens vers le marché du travail.

Med bogen Der Osten: Eine westdeutsche Erfindung har den tyske litteraturprofessor Dirk Oschmann fra Leipzig ramt tidsånden. Efter blot få måneder er den allerede udkommet i 10. oplag og er for tiden den mest omdiskuterede bog i Tyskland. Uden at tage munden for fuld og uden at være flabet, beskriver Oschmann den tyske genforening i 1990 som historien om et traume, der er formet af tyskernes personlige erfaringer med genforeningen. Det er essentielt, at traumet endeligt bearbejdes, for konsekvenserne kan mærkes helt frem til i dag og truer folkestyrets fremtid. I en samtale med forfatteren vil Christian Benne (Københavns Universitet) forsøge at lodde den aktuelle tyske sindsstemning, ikke mindst i lyset af de globale kriser. Dirk Oschmann betragtes som en intellektuel, der er præget af den litterære modernisme i mellemkrigstiden, men også af tysk klassicisme. Den klassicistiske tradition forventes normalt ikke at tage del i aktuelle politiske debatter. Vi spørger, hvad der alligevel fik ham til det? Vi taler også om Kafka og Schiller og selvfølgelig om øst og vest, identitet og medier, Ukraine og demokrati, kort sagt: om Tysklands intellektuelle forfatning.

This seminar shows that despite the temporal distance, colonialism is a surprisingly actual topic.";"What is the relevance of doing research in colonialism today? This seminar shows that despite the temporal distance, colonialism is a surprisingly actual topic. It brings together scholars that approach this question from different points of view, academic disciplines, and in various European contexts. It is common to all these approaches that they deal with the role of cultural memory and deep past as ways of thinking about past colonialism, as a way of analyzing present debates about the way how these forgotten pasts challenge fixed national identities, and as a means of understanding why these colonial pasts reemerge and how they function as a pretext for renew colonial endeavours. It is one of the core tasks of this seminar to show that postcolonialism is not limited to overseas empires but took place and continues to take place within the Nordic and Eastern European areas. Secondly, it will show how colonialism keeps haunting present societies, not only stirring “writing back” by the colonized but also forcing the former colonizers to rearrange their collective memories. Besides presenting how these discussions are dealt with in literary writings, the seminar offers investigations of the deep past of Aboriginal colonialism as presented in public artworks by Indigenous artists, discussions about the assemblage of ‘items’, objects and scripts including items of social, cultural and spiritual importance that where translocated from Greenland, and Iceland to Denmark and from Namibia to Germany. The question if the former colonizers have the right to keep or – as is the case in Germany – even exhibit these objects as part of an ethnologic collection fuels ongoing debates, showing that processes of reconciliation and restitution in the Scandinavian and German context are by far not resolved. Furthermore, the conference presents the case of Italy, in which the issue of colonialism only recently has come to the fore and, finally, the case of colonialism in Eastern Europe showing that Ukrainians' previous experiences of colonialism and postcolonialism presently are revived in the new attempt of Russia to conquer Ukraine.

Reassembling Networks of Modernity through data-driven research – is a five-year project whose primary goal is to establish a new ‘data-driven’ literary and intellectual history of the French Enlightenment; one that is both more comprehensive and more systematic in terms of its relationship to the existing digital cultural record, and one that challenges subsequent narratives of European Modernity. To accomplish this, ModERN is deploying a unique combination of cutting-edge computational technologies, a conceptual framework that merges actor-network theory with data-driven discovery, and traditional critical and textual methods, all of which are used to scrutinise the digital archive of the Enlightenment period in France and its aftermath. Specifically, the project employs new techniques for large-scale text analysis and deep neural network language modelling developed in the digital humanities and artificial intelligence communities to identify and analyse conceptual and intertextual networks over an unprecedented collection of 18th- and 19th-century texts. In the context of this seminar, project PI Glenn Roe will present the initial stages of the project, including corpus construction, large-scale text alignment, noise reduction using BERT and other Large Language Models (LLMs), and preliminary network analyses. Glenn Roe is Professor of French Literature and Digital Humanities in the Faculty of Letters at Sorbonne University. He has written several books on the Enlightenment and Digital Humanities, including The Passion of Charles Péguy: Literature, Modernity, and the Crisis of Historicism, Oxford University Press (2014), the edited volume: Digitizing Enlightenment, with Simon Burrows, Oxford University Studies in the Enlightenment (2020), Voltaire’s Correspondence: Digital Readings, with Nicholas Cronk, Cambridge University Press (2020), and the forthcoming L’Encyclopédie, chantier des humanités numériques."

Abstract Since the present has no sequel, and no established future, it’s always difficult to give it a name. The “post” solution has long prevailed, obscuring the fact that “post-ness” can itself have an “afterwards”. But is the present still postmodern? I am going to propose in this talk that we get over post-ness in the company of another prefix: epi a prefix of remarkable richness and complexity. Epimodernism would thus set up six different relations to the heritage of modernism, by reworking its postmodern critique and rebooting, with all due post-irony, its ambition of new forms of engagement. I’ll be taking the example of what I have called “the istorical novel”, without an h.

There is a relatively extensive historiography on Cuban involvement in the Spanish conflict during the war years (1936-1939), but little research has been done on the multiple ways in which the legacy of the war was present in Caribbean leftist politics long after the battle for Spain had ended. As this talk will demonstrate, Cuban politics offered several opportunities for veterans of the Spanish Civil War to remobilize after their time in Spain and prolong their commitments to radical transnational or internationalist projects. In this sense, the legacy of the Spanish Civil War continued to be present in Cuba both practically and symbolically, although the exact meaning of this legacy was continually contested. Pradipto Roy: COVID-19 and Mental Health in India (virtual participation) This working paper problematizes the concerns relating to mental health in south Asia during the pandemic. Going through various professional and lay journals, social media write ups, select books and newspaper reviews and so, this paper charts the discourses and priorities regarding mental health as had surfaced during the pandemic. The literature review is being complemented with perspectives from the fieldwork that was conducted in India and Bangladesh. In conclusion, I argue the need for inclusion of more interdisciplinary perspectives (especially from the humanities) in the practice of biomedical psychiatry, and why and how cross-cultural psychiatry could offer more in terms of building sustainable public mental health care approaches in the region. Anna Iskra: “What Never Happened.” Viral Absurdity and Affective Dysphoria in Pandemic-Era Shanghai (virtual participation) At the height of the pandemic in China, local mental health services providers had their hands full. In this talk, we will journey through the affective landscapes of Shanghai’s middle-class urbanites, as narrated by local psychological counselors who operate in the country’s vibrant and loosely regulated therapeutic milieu. Pandemic policies hit Shanghai hard, which culminated in the infamous two-month lockdown. While the authorities managed to temporarily contain the spread of the virus, negative affects proliferated in the city with a truly viral force. As gloominess spread, state propaganda and official media circulated enthusiastic reports on fighting the pandemic with “positive energy” (zheng nengliang), generating dysphoric feelings among citizens mentally worn out by draconian pandemic policies. This study is an anthropological investigation into the frictions generated in the clash between state-constructed affective regimes that promote positive thinking and disseminate politics of hope and trust in the political status quo, and various tribes of “affective aliens” among Chinese urbanites that resist performative positivity by embodying gloominess. The accounts of psychological counselors contest the dominant narrative of pandemic-induced anxiety and depression as primarily marked by withdrawal and passivity. Instead, such affects can be re-imagined as modes of resilience under authoritarian policies that question the censoring impact of the politics of “positive energy.” Daria Schwalbe: COVID-19 and mental health in Russia and the Arctic - emotional responses and psychological consequences It has been repeatedly pointed out that the long-term psychological consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic might still be underway, as the massive and complicated nexus of emotions and pain is only beginning to be understood. In this talk I will focus on people’s emotional responses to the pandemic and the psychological consequences it entailed in Greenland and Russia, scrutinizing the role of culture and context for mental health in Greenland, and the meaning and function of ‘anxiety’ in Russia, as it comes to the fore in textual and visual representations and the unique vocabularies of anxiety that have emerged in the context of the pandemic. Felipe Szabzon: COVID-19 and Mental Health in Colombia I am returning from a 6-month fieldwork in Colombia as part of my research at the “Covid-19 and global mental health” project. During this time, I had the opportunity to talk to various people working with mental health in the country, from policymakers at all levels of public administration to practitioners of various disciplines, academics, activists and patients and family organizations. As in many parts of the globe, in Colombia mental health has gained increased visibility since the emergence of the pandemic of the COVID-19. The public recognition of this topic has pressed local authorities to create innovative responses creating a panacea of interventions across the country with oftentimes contradictory conceptions and understandings about mental health. At the same time, the country is now under an intense debate about the implementation of a major health reform, to which mental health has remained silent. In this talk, I will present the initial findings of this fieldwork and reflect on the main roadblocks to mental healthcare policy and potential paths for advocacy within the health reform debate. Alexander Knopf: Günther Anders’s Aesthetics: Sensousness in the Technological World Günther Anders (1902-1992) became known for his pioneering philosophical works on technology and, in particular, his two-volume book The Obsolescence of Man (1956/1980). In this talk, I will argue that Anders aimed at a theory of experience just as Walter Benjamin had called for in his text “On the program of future philosophy” from 1917. However, unlike Benjamin had envisioned, Anders took human sensuousness as a starting point. According to Anders, the impact of technology on all sensual faculties such as perception, emotions and the imagination changes experiences entirely and dramatically. In his writings, though, Anders did not limit himself to the realm of theory. With his aesthetics, as I term this approach, he rather experimented with literary strategies to counter the effects of technology. He combined, so to say, reflection and performativity in order to facilitate a new experience through reading. Gabriel Abarca-Brown: Transcultural Psychiatry in Latin America: A Historical and Anthropological Approach I focus on the findings of two research projects in medical anthropology and the history of transcultural psychiatry. In the first project, I investigated how new discourses on migration, multiculturalism, and mental health have risen in post-dictatorship neoliberal Chile (1990-2019). Specifically, I explore the interactions between health and social institutions, mental health practitioners, “psy” technologies, and Haitian and Dominican migrants, highlighting migrants’ subjectivation processes and everyday life. In the second one, I examined the historical and anthropological roots of mental health practitioners’ structural based-approach in their work with migrants. I show how this approach resulted from a public health and community psychiatry tradition in Chile -and Latin America- whose roots lie in health policies developed during the reformist governments of the 1960s and 1970s, as well as in multicultural and gender policies promoted by the state since the 1990s. Shilpi Rajpal: The Mental Hygiene Movement; Birth of the Global Mental Health in India and Beyond This paper will investigate an era when the mind sciences gained control and defined every aspect of the so-called ideal citizen. A novel taxonomy creating moralistic ideals, establishing rules and a utopian vision created a cultural program which attempted to preserve decaying imperialism and bourgeoning nationalism. The definition of ideal citizenship was also invented in the colonies. This paper is largely based on Quarterly Bulletin of the Indian Association for Mental Hygiene. The Indian Association was based in Calcutta besides had sub-committees in Delhi, Lahore, Shimla, Southern India and Ceylon. The notions of mental health were tied to controlling and guiding of emotions, habits, time and energy The psychiatrist was needed much like a priest in channelising the inner self. The selfhood was defined and managed through ‘courage’, ‘faith’ and ‘self-will’ which were regarded as cornerstones in mobilizing human energy. Irina Hron: ‘Writing (on) Human Skin’ The aim of this paper is to explore the vital interplay of skin, the practice of writing/reading, and literature alongside the introduction of a new concept: skin writing. Most of what we know about skin today is still based upon medical and biophysical premises. Dermal phenomena, however, are grounded in the connection of biology, psychology, and cultural practices. This goes far beyond an empirical understanding of human skin, and instead ties in with the aesthetic idea in the Kantian sense. My presentation sets out to uncover a series of depictions of human skin which cannot be explored empirically, but only aesthetically. "

Bogen er redigeret af Klaus Schulte, Rolf Czeskleba-Dupont og Hartmut Haberland og udgives af Selskabet til Forskning i Arbejderbevægelsens Historie (SFAH). Baggrund Ifølge den tyske filosof Wolfgang Fritz Haug er teori sammenhængsviden. Hans mangeårige arbejde drejer sig om at kortlægge de historisk-epistemologiske, ideologiteoretiske, metodologiske og almen filosofiske implikationer af Marx’ hovedværk Kapitalen. Kritik af den politiske økonomi og dets tilblivelsestrin og om at anvende disse erkendelser i analysen af nutidens transnationale hightech- og online kapitalisme. Trods det at hans navn mange steder i den tysktalende del af verden nævnes i samme åndedrag som f.eks. Oskar Negt, er han endnu meget ukendt i Danmark. Bortset fra Haugs gennembrudsværk Kritikken af vareæstetikken fra 1971, hvis hovedkapitel i sin tid hurtigt udkom på dansk og dannede afsæt til en brederes modtagelse i Danmark, har de fleste af hans arbejder hidtil kun været kendt blandt tysk-, engelsk- eller spansklæsende specialister. Receptionen afholdes samme sted og tid som præsentationen, og der vil være forfriskninger samt indledninger ved professor Detlef Siegfried og lektor emeritus Gert Sørensen."

In Deutschland vereinte er in Gestalt einer eigenen Partei – der Kommunistischen Arbeiterpartei Deutschlands (KAPD) – 1920 knapp 40.000 Menschen, deren Forderungen sich aus dem revolutionären Elan der frühen 1920er speisten und die sich explizit von der KPD und der zunehmend autoritären Entwicklung in der Sowjetunion absetzten. Zentral waren für die Linkskommunisten die Rolle der Arbeiterinnen und Arbeiter in den Betrieben – dort sollte die Willensbildung und der kämpferische Zusammenschluss erfolgen. Bis Mitte der 1920er Jahre war die KAPD aktiver Teil der politischen Landschaft Weimars; sie lieferte sich einen theoretischen Schlagabtausch mit den linken Intellektuellen dieser Zeit und beteiligte sich an den damaligen Streiks, Enteignungskämpfen und Räterepubliken. Ab 1923 erfolgte der rapide Niedergang der Partei. Allerdings hat diese Bewegung bei ihren Anhängerinnen und Anhängern Spuren hinterlassen, die über die Zeit der KAPD hinausreichen. Ich werde anhand zweier Biographien sowohl die Ursprünge und Entstehungsbedingungen linkskommunistischer Ideologie und Praxis als auch die veränderte politische Praxis nach 1923 vorstellen.

Our guest speakers will be Richard Zenith, author of the prize-winning biography, Fernando Pessoa: An Experimental Life (2021) and the translator of Pessoa's works published by Penguin, including The Book of Disquiet (2002); and Paulo de Medeiros, Professor of Modern and Contemporary World Literature at the University of Warwick and author of Pessoa's Geometry of the Abyss: Modernity and the Book of Disquiet (2013). Pessoa is famous for having written under numerous names which he termed heteronyms, none of which he acknowledged; for each heteronym, he would create a biography, a character, a style, and use of genres, each to be distinguished from the work published under the name of 'Fernando Pessoa'. It has been said that there are six or seven major poets in modern Portuguese literature, all of whom turned out to be Pessoa. Richard Zenith has investigated the question of Pessoa's authorship more thoroughly than anyone else, and even he cannot be sure that all the heteronyms have been identified. Among the themes to be discussed: Modernism as a European movement: the role of translation in transcending national traditions and shaping a polyglot canon. Impersonality as an aesthetic principle: Pessoa was exactly contemporary with T.S. Eliot. Multiple personalities as a creative strategy or psychological condition: as many selves as languages? Selves as styles and registers? The challenge of the heteronyms to both biographers and literary critics. The colonial and the post-colonial: Pessoa was raised in South Africa and his entire education was in English, yet he chose to write almost all his poetry in Portuguese. (Almost all his heteronyms are Portuguese, though an Englishman or two may lurk among them.) Pessoa's work in its historical context: the politics of South Africa and Portugal.

Dieser Vortrag untersucht die Korrespondenzen zwischen Brigitte Reimanns Tagebüchern und ihrem Roman Franziska Linkerhand. Der Vortrag beruht auf eine Masterarbeit dazu. Die Schriftstellerin Brigitte Reimann (1933-1973) lebte und arbeitete in der DDR. 25 Jahre nach ihrem Tod wurden ihre Tagebücher veröffentlicht, und haben einen neuen Blick auf Reimanns literarische Werke ermöglicht. In diesem Vortrag gilt der Blick ihrem Kultroman, das posthum veröffentlichte Werk Franziska Linkerhand (1974) über eine junge, rebellische und idealistische Architektin in der DDR. Der Roman ist der klassischen Moderne zuzuordnen und bricht mit den Doktrinen des sozialistischen Realismus sowie mit vielen Tabus in der DDR. Inwiefern haben die autobiographischen Tagebücher Reimanns ihren Roman beeinflusst – stilistisch und thematisch? Diese Verbindungen werden anhand von diarischer und autobiographischer Gattungstheorie untersucht und vorgestellt. Zusätzlich werden spezifische weibliche Erfahrungen im Roman und in den Tagebüchern anhand der écriture féminine von der französischen Philosophin und Schriftstellerin Hélène Cixous betrachtet.

Emnerne for dagen er brugen af digitale oversættelsesværktøjer i fremmedsprogsundervisningen og forholdet mellem sprog og køn. Digitale oversættelsesværktøjer i fremmedsprogsundervisningen Den del, der vedrører brug af digitale oversættelsesværktøjer, vil tage sit afsæt i den store frustration, som mange gymnasielærere i fremmedsprog oplever, nemlig at eleverne bruger digitale oversættelsesværktøjer som en genvej til at lære fremmedsprog. Resultatet bliver ofte, at eleverne ikke lærer det pågældende fremmedsprog, og at underviserne har vanskeligt ved at vurdere elevernes reelle niveau i fremmedsproget. Ved at sætte fokus på dette emne vil vi både adressere de konkrete udfordringer, der er forbundet med brug af digitale oversættelsesværktøjer i fremmedsprogsundervisningen, og komme med idéer til, hvordan digitale oversættelsesværktøjer kan anvendes som et didaktisk redskab til at forbedre elevernes fremmedsprogskompetencer. Sprog og køn Den del, der vedrører sprog og køn, vil tage sit afsæt i den stigende bevidsthed, særligt hos den yngre del af befolkningen, på ikke blot at inkludere de binære køn, han- og hunkøn, men også non-binære køn i sprogbrugen. Denne øgede bevidsthed påvirker bl.a. måden, hvorpå man underviser i fremmedsprog, der har grammatisk køn som bl.a. i de romanske sprog og tysk. Men det er også interessant at diskutere, hvordan denne problemstilling påvirker et sprog som engelsk, der ligesom dansk ikke har grammatisk køn. I løbet af dagen vil der blive fokuseret på, hvordan sprog og køn adresseres i forskellige sprog, og der vil også blive fremlagt og diskuteret en række idéer til, hvordan man didaktisk griber opgaven an med at undervise i sprog og køn i fremmedsprogsfagene. Dagen vil både bestå af faglige oplæg og workshops om digitale oversættelsesværktøjer og sprog og køn. Pris Det koster 300 kroner at deltage i gymnasiedagen. Beløbet dækker materialer og forplejning.

While sipping his Spritz, Chiara’s husband Ivano lamented the state of journalism in Italy. As he stressed, one could no longer trust the leading newspapers as they were all in the hands of the same powerful people. The only newspaper that he occasionally found worth reading was Il Fatto Quotidiano. It covered corruption and other abuses of public office in the mainstream parties such as Partito Democratico, which traditional newspapers, including la Repubblica, tended to downplay or ignore, he explained. I remember thinking that it was no coincidence that the newspaper led by the notorious Marco Travaglio also happened to be the newspaper closest to the protest party that Ivano had voted on in 2013 and 2018. I also concluded that it was no accident when he used la Repubblica and Partito Democratico as examples. After all, he had loyally read the former progressive and now more centrist newspaper and supported the centre-left party and its predecessor for years. As a middle-class public servant, he had always leaned left, and he still had a “peace” rainbow flag hanging from the window above the front door of his house. Like many Italians, Ivano had also always been highly sceptical of his country’s political class. Over the last decades, he had become deeply disenchanted. “Nothing changes”, as he put it that evening, “you understand, we keep electing politicians that are all the same, politicians that are only thinking about their career”. Conversations such as the one I had with Ivano have helped shape my view on populism. They have left me unconvinced by descriptions of the phenomenon as nothing more than superficial rhetoric or strategy adopted by demagogues in pursuit of power. Instead, they have made me gravitate toward explanations that start by viewing populism as a set of ideas. To be sure, these can be appropriated. However, they can also be part of a coherent political outlook wherein elites conspire against the people, depriving them of their voice and status. While it has a great capacity to mobilize the masses, it could also have a more profound imprint on political action. Thus, this dissertation will follow the logic of populism and examine its most important manifestations during the last three decades of Italian politics. "

Sowohl politisch als auch ästhetisch wird seitdem die brisante Frage ausgehandelt, wie eine „symmetrische“ europäische Erinnerungslandschaft zu schaffen ist in der die Verbrechen des kommunistischen Regimes die gleiche Anerkennung erhalten wie die herausragende Erinnerung an den Holocaust. Migration, so die These des vorgestellten Buches, bedeutet nicht nur die Überschreitung geographischer Grenzen, sondern ebenso den Eintritt in einen anderen Erinnerungsrahmen. Ab 1989 kam über 200.000 jüdische Migranten aus der ehemaligen Sowjetunion nach Deutschland und fanden sich in einer Erinnerungskultur wieder, in der das Gedenken an den Holocaust eine übergeordnete Rolle spielt und in dem Juden oft als Opfer per se stereotypisiert werden.

Hamburg’s early rock’n’roll scene, centered in clubs around the red-light district St. Pauli, was a site of cultural exchange: people across lines of nationality, class, and gender came together to experience the pleasures of difference and experiment with new ways of inhabiting the body. This made it a key incubator of the transnational youth culture so central to our understanding of the 1960s. It reflected the era’s changing social norms, with both liberatory possibilities and lingering prejudices. This modern music scene was also connected to a long history of popular culture and its global flows of people and products. The history of early rock ‘n’ roll in St. Pauli offers an alternative way of thinking about Germany’s 20th century, interrogating what culture does at specific moments in history by considering where it does it.

How to do things with words and images – a speculative approach Lene Østermark-Johansen Do images primarily unfold within space and literature within time, as the German philosopher G. E. Lessing (1729-1781) stated in his Laokoön (1766)? Or can the boundaries between the two be blurred, and what happens if we do so? This lecture argues for the great potential in a more flexible approach to the sister arts in both teaching and research and suggests that just as time and space are inseparable, so are word and image.

DR’s Orientering og Deadline) fortælle om sin forskning i ”De gule veste” og den sociale bevægelses politiske potentiale i Frankrig i dag. I efteråret 2018 gik aktivister på gaden i Frankrig for at protestere mod en planlagt stigning i priser på brændstof. Siden har les gilets jaunes (De gule veste), som bevægelsen sidenhen blev kendt som, fyldt meget i det politiske landskab i Frankrig og tiltrukket sig opmærksomhed fra hele verden. Bevægelsen står i opposition til ikke blot regeringen og den franske præsident, Emmanuel Macron, som de ser som repræsentant for en velbjerget fransk elite. De står også i opposition til det repræsentative demokrati mere generelt, hvilket de historisk lave valgdeltagelser ved de seneste franske valg er symptom på. De gule veste kæmper for et deltagerdemokrati med decentralisering af magten og borgerinddragelse. Ifølge dem er det den bedste måde, hvorpå Frankrig kan blive et grønt land med social retfærdighed. Anne-Sofie Dichmans oplæg vil blive efterfulgt af en samtale (medieret af Amanda Grimsbo Roswall, ph.d.-studerende, Engerom, KU) om den feministiske teori, der ligger bag Dichmans forskning, og hvordan hun anvender den i praksis, når hun følger en gruppe kvinder fra ”De gule veste” i deres demokratiske engagement. Derefter vil der være mulighed for at stille spørgsmål til Dichmans forskning og til emnerne berørt i samtalen, herunder ”De gule veste”, aktivisme i Frankrig og feministisk teori og metode i samfundsvidenskaberne og humaniora. Efter arrangementet vil gæsterne blive budt på et glas bobler eller appelsinjuice.Arrangementet er åbent for alle.

Béhague, Department of Medicine, Health, and Society, Vanderbilt University, Nashville (USA) & Department of Global Health and Social Medicine, King’s College London, London (UK). Abstract To what extent can experiments in “psychiatric reform” open a space for the dismantling of enduring structures of inequity and oppression? What assumptions about “the social” do those participating in psychiatric reform often make? How do these assumptions limit possibilities for “social change”? I explore these questions by drawing on a historical ethnography of how Brazil’s psychiatric reforms shaped young people’s lives beginning in the 1990s, following the end of the country’s 20 year-long military dictatorships. Reformists were inspired by psychoanalysis, Marxist-inspired social medicine, radical anti-psychiatry writers, and Foucauldian theories of governmentality. The ideals of psychiatric reform were not merely aspirational. Though a minority, some young users of therapy co-created – together, and sometimes in tension with clinicians, teachers, and parents – the politicising clinic: a space that challenged the imperative for a “cure,” stretched definitions of “care,” and encouraged engagement with social injustice and political oppression. Fast forward to 2022 and all traces of the politicizing clinic have seemingly vanished. Dominating the Brazilian landscape today one finds a proliferation of diagnoses – attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, conduct disorder, anxiety, and depression – that indicate bio-neuro developmental dysfunction and the need for targeted, often pharmacological, treatments. I theorise this history by exploring, ethnographically, how different kinds of “critique” and “reflexivity” were enacted, arranged, and normalised in the clinic and the everyday, by clinicians and young people. Building on Eve Sedgwick’s analysis of the hermeneutics of suspicion, my argument is that narrow applications of “critique” nurtured weak forms of resistance to bio-reductionism. To unsettle this hermeneutic, I put my young interlocutors’ theories of power into conversation with Georges Canguilhem’s concept of the milieu and with feminist writings on prefigurative politics and decolonial pedagogies. Attention to the ways young people interacted with systems of oppression from the vantage point of an imagined not-yet, creating what I conceptualise as unthreading affective politics, shows how the politicizing clinic is in existence today and might yet still flourish."

Abstract “Although the British Empire came to a rapid conclusion in the decades following the Second World War, the memory of empire has continued to influence ideas of national identity and purpose and has certainly also shaped Britain’s approach to European cooperation. This thesis brings together ideas from memory studies and British Euroscepticism, as it examines how the cultural memory of empire has been used in political and cultural debates in Britain to create a narrative of national identity, especially in relation to the European Union, and, in turn, what this means for Britain’s ability to carve out a future role for itself outside the EU. In terms of memory theory, I rely on the terms ‘pre’ and ‘remediation’ which describe the process through which cultural memory is generated, maintained, and, yet, constantly reconstructed according to contemporary times and challenges. The thesis takes its point of departure in written material produced by key political players in the Eurosceptic/Brexit debate such as Boris Johnson and Daniel Hannan and texts from the editorial and comment sections of the Daily Telegraph, the Sunday Telegraph, and the Daily Mail. Based on an analysis of recurring tropes in the primary source material (from 1995-2017), my argument is twofold: Firstly, I argue that references to the British Empire were common in the debate on Europe in the early 1960s, yet that these disappeared following the 1975 referendum, only to be resurrected – in a completely different and reimagined form – in the immediate years leading up to the Brexit referendum. Secondly, I argue that pro-Brexit actors mobilised the cultural memory of empire when making their respective arguments against membership of the European Union. Yet this mobilisation occurred in coded form. In other words, what I refer to as the ‘imperial dimension’ of British Eurosceptic rhetoric manifested itself largely in the way in which Eurosceptics talked about Britain’s global connections and free trade. In this sense, in British Eurosceptic debate, ‘the imperial dimension’ functioned as a readymade rhetorical resource through which an alternative, better future for Britain outside the EU could be articulated”."

In understanding reading as a key human activity, how should we approach it academically? For who is reading important? What does reading mean in terms of socialization and cultural transfer of ideas? How does reading change, historically and with new technological advances, and what is the status of reading today? How do we conceive of the relation between the literary scholar’s own reading of a text and the ways literature is being read and used in other settings? Is there a distinctive Scandinavian perspective on reading? At the Department of English, Germanic, and Romance Studies at the University of Copenhagen, the research project Lockdown Reading has taken on these questions in the event of the global Covid-19 pandemic. Now we want to invite scholars from all over Scandinavia to contemplate where this discussion is going in the future. With this workshop, we make it possible for researchers who work with questions about reading in various ways to meet and exchange ideas. We wish to establish a forum, where researchers who do not cross paths on a day-to-day basis can engage in a common discussion across universities in Scandinavia. The program is shaped around five round table discussions and collective reading of a text chosen by the organizers. The workshop is open to everyone, and you are more than welcome to attend just part of the program.

Med erkendelsen af, at den moderne kultur er uløseligt forbundet med et voldsomt forbrug af fossile brændstoffer, har mange forskere peget på, at det antropocæne perspektiv vil kunne ændre humanvidenskabernes vurdering af det moderne samfunds grundlag og grundbegreber som fx modernitet, frihed og globalisering. Grundlæggende kulturelle forestillinger om det moderne som et fremskridt i forhold til det traditionelle, om det sekulære som et fremskridt bort fra det religiøse, om individets selvfølgelige forrang frem for kollektivet er under omvurdering. Det kan føre til en radikal omvurdering af basale kulturelle og politiske værdier som menneskeværd, frihed, vækst og fremskridt.

"Becoming a multilingual health professional in vocational education &#8211; two adult migrants&#8217; translanguaging trajectories";"Department of English, Germanic and Romance Studies";"2022-05-11";"14:00";"";"15:30";"South Campus, room 24.1.07";"Lecture by Maiju Strömmer, Jyväskylä (Finland).";"Lecture by Maiju Strömmer, Jyväskylä (Finland). Abstract In Finland, the amount of migrant students in vocational education is increasing. Their educational backgrounds, language repertoires and prior knowledge are diverse, and research is needed to gain understanding on how their prior knowledge and multilingual resources could be acknowledged, supported and deployed for field-specific (language) learning. To contribute to this effort, we draw on theoretical approaches of translanguaging and language architecture (García & Kleyn 2016; Li 2018; Flores 2020). Both concepts challenge the rigid boundaries between different languages and dismantle the hierarchies between the academic language and learners’ existing language resources. Thus, the concepts promote the integration of student’s multilingual resources in the content studies. This ethnographic study focuses on two multilingual students studying the vocational qualification in social and health care. Small stories analysis (Georgakopoulou 2015) is applied to analyse their translanguaging trajectories while becoming multilingual health professionals. The data consists of ethnographic observations, interviews, and audio-recorded interactions conducted in the nursing programme in vocational education. The official language of instruction is Finnish, but the students are encouraged to integrate their multilingual resources for their vocational development. The analysis illustrates how translanguaging not only deepens the multilingual students’ understanding of field-specific content but also enables them to strategically use and strengthen their multilingual resources and become independent Finnish language users. The study is part of a research project “Building Blocks: Developing second language resources for working life” (University of Jyväskylä, PI: professor Minna Suni, funded by Academy of Finland). This interdisciplinary project explores the Finnish language resources needed and developed by adult immigrants whose aim is to get employed in their own field in Finland. References Flores, N. 2020.

Abstract Currently, the focus in second language acquisition research is shifting from teaching methods to concerns with learner agency and language learning strategies (Hajar, 2019). Strategies reinforce learning and refer to “actions chosen by learners to learn or regulate the learning of the language” (Griffiths, 2015, p. 476). Although the strategy research has been flourishing since the seminal publication on good language learners (Rubin, 1975), there is a need for more novel research methods. In this vein, my presentation is aligned with rethinking methods in strategy research that had been predominantly quantitative. Specifically, I will discuss methodological choices underpinning my mixed-methods PhD project on language learning strategies among multilingual learners in Danish public schools. I will share my considerations on incorporating learner-centred methods and balancing “insider-outsider” perspectives of being a language educator and a Danish learner myself. I will draw on my proposed methodology as well as previous research worldwide. References Hajar, A. (2019).

Abstract As purely referential linguistic units, prototypical names are semantically empty. However, when used in metaphors, names regain semantics based on salient properties of the name bearer. Angela Merkel, for example, is known for her perseverance, a quality also attributed to Olaf Scholz. The name bearer must therefore be familiar to the public for the metaphor to make sense and, what is more, abstractions from semantic properties closely linked to the name bearer (e.g., professional domain) proceed only gradually. Strikingly, even in highly conventionalized metaphors, natural gender remains an obstacle for metaphorical uses, particularly with male names used for women. Based on corpus data (German Reference Corpus, COW-Corpus), it is argued that the impact of gender is twofold: First, a male gender bias of names used in metaphors can be observed – both as a target and as a source for metaphorical comparison. Second, also highly conventionalized metaphors (Mozart, Napoleon) are used almost exclusively for men. _____________________ Thurmair, Maria (2002): Der Harald Juhnke der Sprachwissenschaft.

Blandt hans seneste værker kann nævnes Die Eroberung Amerikas (2021), Sarajevo 14 oder Der Urknall Europas (2017) og Das Floß der Medusa (2017) - sidstnævnte roman udkom i 2020 i dansk oversættelse (‚Medusas flåde‘). Hans værker, som er oversat til 23 sprog, er bl.a. kendetegnet ved sprogspil og en særlig anarkistisk form for humor. Et centralt emne i poetik-forelæsningen vil være forholdet mellem normer og normbrud, både i æstetisk henseende og i forhold til den litterære offentligheds konventioner og uskrevne regler.

Emnerne for dagen er brobygning mellem gymnasium og universitet og karrierelæring. Brobygningsdelen vil især have fokus på, hvordan gymnasiet kan forberede fremmedsprogselever til de videregående uddannelser, og hvad universitetet kan gøre for at sikre en god overgang mellem gymnasium og universitet inden for fremmedsprogene. Brobygning skal her forstås både mere snævert - som forberedelse til at læse sprogfag på de videregående uddannelser - og mere generelt som sprog som almen studiekompetence i mange andre fag end fremmedsprogene. Karrierelæringsdelen vil handle om, hvordan og hvorfor fremmedsprogsfagene er relevante i et karriereperspektiv. Hvilke kompetencer giver gymnasiets sprogfag til eleverne, som de kan tage med sig i deres fremtidige professionelle virke? Og hvordan kan gymnasielærerne bedre synliggøre karrierelæringsperspektivet over for deres fremmedsprogselever? Dagen vil både bestå af faglige oplæg og workshops om brobygning og karrierelæring. Tilmelding Det koster 250 kroner at deltage i gymnasiedagen. Beløbet dækker materialer og forplejning. Tilmeldingsfristen er den 23. marts 2022. Tilmeld dig her.

Kragh, Erling Strudsholm, Lene Schøsler.";"Oplæg Italienske personlige pronomener Thomas Olander, INSS I moderne standarditaliensk hedder de enklitiske oblikke pronomener for første og anden person pluralis ci og vi. I dialekter og ældre tekster finder man også ne (sjældent ni) og ve. Mange identificerer de pronominale former ci, ne og vi etymologisk med de homofone adverbier ci, ne og vi, der går tilbage til latin (*)hince, inde og ibi. Ifølge en alternativ opfattelse er det dog kun ci der har en egentlig adverbiel oprindelse, hvorimod pronomenerne ne og vi går tilbage til de latinske pronomener nōs og uōs. I dette foredrag analyserer jeg materialet historisk og argumenterer for at det var det mere eller mindre tilfældige lydlige sammenfald af de pronominale former ne og vi (fra latin nōs og uōs) med adverbierne ne og vi (fra latin inde og ibi) der førte til at det ældre pronomen ne blev erstattet af adverbiet ci (fra latin (*)hince.) Tiltaleformer på fransk og italiensk i et diasystematisk perspektiv Kirsten J. Kragh og Erling Strudsholm, ENGEROM Vores oplæg omhandler forskellige kommunikationsstrategier med hensyn til formalitet og høflighed, og hvordan disse forskelle relaterer sig til de diasystematiske dimensioner. Vores kontrastive tilgang omfatter tiltaleformer på fransk og italiensk sammenlignet med danske, tyske og engelske normer og brug. Både romanske og germanske sprog har to systemer af tiltalepronomener med forskellige niveauer af formalitet. Der er dog betydelige forskelle i brug på de respektive sprog, både typologiske og interlingvistiske. Forskellige sprogområder har forskellige konventioner for kommunikation og høflighed, og vi mener at tiltaleformer afspejler sådanne sociokulturelle forskelle. Vores analyser af disse forskelle er forankret i de diasystematiske dimensioner, med særligt fokus på den diafasiske variation og sammenhængen med diastratisk betingede faktorer."

Om filmen Siden 1990 har Dresden med held genopbygget det skønne, barokke centrum, som byen mistede under de voldsomme bombardementer i februar 1945. Men i de senere år er det genopbyggede glansbillede begyndt at krakelere. Hver mandag aften indtager den højreradikale bevægelse Pegida de genopbyggede kulisser for højlydt at protestere mod regering, flygtninge og indvandrere; og i meningsmålingerne står det højreekstreme parti AfD stadig stærkere i Dresden og omegn. Filmen undersøger denne udvikling og viser, hvordan alt i Dresden, selv arkitekturen, synes at være fanget i en ødelæggelseshistorie, som ikke vil gå væk.

Professor emerita Lene Schøsler præsenterer af den videnskabelige udgave af dagbogen. I anledning af Leonora Christinas 400-års fødselsdag den 8/7 2021 blev to versioner af hendes franske selvbiografi udgivet. De henvender sig til to forskellige typer publikum. Den ene er en dansksproget udgave med de nødvendige informationer om teksten og med illustrationer. Den anden er en videnskabelig tosproget udgave, ledsaget af en fyldig beskrivelse af Leonora Christinas manuskript, af hendes sprog, og tekstens virkningshistorie. Der er yderligere historiske kommentarer og en ikonografisk beskrivelse af samtidige portrætter. Hensigten med udgaven er at give et moderne publikum en forståelse af Leonora Christinas tekst, som den er tænkt fra hendes side. Derfor har det været nødvendigt for udgiverne at sætte sig grundigt ind i bl.a. samtidens sprog og stil, med det resultat at udgaven bryder med tidligere udgiveres opfattelse af forfatterens sproglige niveau. I den videnskabelige udgave argumenteres for at Leonora Christina på fransk, ligesom når hun skriver på dansk, er en usædvanlig talentfuld forfatter, der mestrer sprogets nuancer. Den videnskabelige udgave indgår derfor som et indlæg i debatten om udgivelse og oversættelse af ældre tekster, og skal ses som et argument for at sprog og kultur skal studeres i sammenhæng og i et historisk perspektiv.

Selvbiografien er et kvindekulturelt hovedværk, fuldt af både overklasse- og fængselsliv, der med sit moderne sprog er klar til at erobre nye læsere. Blåtårn, den 1. maj kl. 11 om natten 1673 Leonora Christina afslutter sin selvbiografi og får den diskret ud af fængslet. Den er henvendt til en gammel ven, som skriver på et værk om lærde kvinder. Leonora skriver på fransk. Beretningen må nemlig gerne komme ud til et europæisk publikum, der kan få hendes version af historien, fatte sympati for hende og måske påvirke den danske regering til at løslade hende. Sådan gik det ikke. Leonora Christina blev siddende i Blåtårn endnu 12 lange år. Til gengæld kom hendes selvbiografi ud i lærde kredse, og tidens historikere brugte den. Men hendes eget håndskrift forsvandt sporløst engang i 1700-tallet. I 1952 dukkede det op i et gymnasiebibliotek i Hamborg, og der blev lavet en fotografisk udgave. I anledning af Leonora Christinas 400 års-fødselsdag den 8. juli 2021 bliver teksten for første gang udgivet efter originalhåndskriftet. Samtidig kommer en helt ny oversættelse af værket til moderne, letlæseligt dansk. Leonora Christinas liv var eventyrligt, og selvbiografien er spændende som en roman. Hun er så god til fransk, at hun suverænt kan fastholde sin læser i de dramatiske situationer, der afløser hinanden. Diskret ‒ og vildt manipulerende ‒ går hun hen over sin og ægtefællen Corfitz Ulfeldts mildt sagt tvivlsomme aktiviteter. I hendes optik skyldes parrets ulykker andres misundelse over det strålende power couple med de dyre vaner, inspireret af de hotteste internationale trends. Selvbiografien er et kvindekulturelt hovedværk. Det er ikke kun sit eget ekstreme overklasseliv, Leonora Christina beskriver, men alle samfundslag. Og hendes egen skæbne var reelt en social nedtur. Alligevel er hun ukueligt selvbevidst og styrer i vidt omfang de mænd, hun færdes blandt. Nu er støvet pustet af selvbiografien. Med sit moderne sprog er den klar til at erobre nye læsere."

Den Fransk-Tyske Krig For Tyskland førte sejren over Frankrig i krigen 1870-71 til en samling af de forskellige tyske områder i et tysk kejserrige – og en opstigning af dette til en europæisk stormagt på alle områder: økonomisk, militært, uddannelsesmæssigt, teknisk og videnskabeligt. Den europæiske magtbalance ændrede sig afgørende og viste sig i de følgende årtier stadig vanskeligere at håndtere. I 1914 gik det ikke længere: Verdenskrigen – som frem for alt var en europæisk krig – brød ud. For Frankrig betød 1871 kejserdømmets fald og indførelsen af republikken, som blev et vigtigt element i fransk selvforståelse. Udadtil, ikke mindst på grund af tabet af Alsace-Lorraine, blev forholdet til Tyskland det centrale element i fransk diplomatisk, militær og politisk tænkning."

Abstract Over the last fifteen years or so, interest has accelerated in Linguistic Landscape Studies (LLS), which is now an established domain of enquiry in a number of humanities and social science fields. Spawning from an empirical interest in the written language(s) of signs visible in urban settings, early LL studies sought to establish criteria by which notions such as multilingualism and language vitality, distribution, and usage patterns could be quantified and contrasted. Since about 2010 and a so-called ‘qualitative turn’, the field has evolved in a plethora of directions, both qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods, and now sees a steady flow of publications through standalone articles, monographs, edited volumes, a dedicated journal, an annual international workshop, and colloquia and panels at prevalent international conferences and symposia. This talk proposes a brief outline of the field’s history, its current debates, and principal research methods. Following outlines of work on (for example) regional language vitality in France, the global phenomenon of the ‘Chinatown’, and the expansion of ‘language’ to include smells, tattoos, and clothing, the talk will then introduce the Wearable Ideologies (WE•ID) network, and our current project about t-shirts. This cross-disciplinary project proposes methods borrowed from behavioural psychology to explore the increasingly common phenomenon of French slogans present on t-shirts marketed in the UK and elsewhere. The principal aim (so far) has been to test how far different semiotic aspects of the t-shirts (language, font, colour, and t-shirt shape) influence perceptions of femininity. The idea is to gather empirical data to test long-established, but largely hypothetical, associations of French with fashion, sophistication, wealth, and femininity, and to build towards a larger project investigating the gendered aspects of clothing, both linguistic and more broadly semiotic."

";"In a public lecture as part of the Creative Writing course at ENGEROM, author Kirsten Tranter will discuss what it means to embrace uncertainty and be the keeper of mysteries when writing. Abstract “Write what you know” is a common directive for beginning writers. What if we let go of this idea and instead aim to write about what we don’t know about what we know? Embracing uncertainty can be challenging, but also inspiring and liberating. What if we imagine that the job of fiction is not to answer complex human problems or existential mysteries, but to render them in specific detail? We will explore Nicole Krauss' haunting story 'The Young Painters' and other pieces of fiction that in some way are alive to mystery, that dramatize the search for meaning, and use uncertainty as a dramatic, compelling device. Bio Kirsten Tranter has published fiction, criticism, and journalism, and taught literary studies and creative writing at institutions including the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Technology, Sydney. Tranter's first novel, The Legacy, was published to international acclaim in 2010, and selected as a Kirkus Reviews Best Debut Novel of the year. The Legacy was also shortlisted for the ABIA Literary Fiction award, the ALS Gold Medal, the Indie Debut Fiction award, and longlisted for the Miles Franklin award. Tranter's second novel, A Common Loss was released in 2012, and her latest novel Hold (2016) was longlisted for the Miles Franklin award and the Voss Literary Award. Tranter is also the co-founder of The Stella Prize for Australian women’s writing, established in 2011."

Funded by CEMES, organized by Inge Birgitte Siegumfeldt.";"Abstract Auster’s work is predominantly set in urban America and his characters rarely travel beyond the US. Even so, in the critical reception the body of Auster’s poetry and prose is widely accepted as a belonging to a distinctly European mode of writing. This is due, in part, to the subcurrent of French thought that informs the majority of the novels via such key influences as Sartre, Blanchot, Merleau-Ponty, Ponge and even Derrida, and the pivotal significance for instance of Chateaubriand’s Memoire d’Autre Tombe in Auster’s The Book of Illusions, Appollonaire’s “La Jolie Rousse” in Auster’s 4 3 2 1, Beckett’s Waiting for Godotin Auster’s City of Glass, Thomas Mann and Kafka’s short stories in Auster’s Timbuktu and Ghosts respectively. There are also important Scandinavian influences in Auster’s work most notably Hamsun but also Kai Munk and Dreyer and Henning Carlsen (for film). At the same time, eight of Auster’s novels have been published in translation to one or more European languages prior to the American original. This workshop will explore the extent and impact of the European sources in Auster’s verbal and visual worlds, probe the reception of his work in France, the UK, Spain and Scandinavia and examine the validity of such claims as “Auster is an American entirely oriented towards Europe.” (Bruckner in Barone 1995) What exactly does it mean when critics like McKean insist that “Auster belongs decidedly to the European philosophical tradition”? (2010) How are we to understand the fact that the reception of Auster’s work would seem to be more enthusiastic in certain European countries than in the US?

Abstract ""Summerwater"" takes place over a rainy day in August, as several people holiday in cabins by a Scottish Loch. In it, we meet a patchwork of narrators, and several long passages surrounding long and deep views on the surrounding natural world. This lecture considers how this multiple-protagonist framework creates opportunities for worldbuilding and for unfolding different perspectives on the same narrative events. Moss further reflects on the relationship between 'nature' and writing, and whether belonging might be separated from ownership. Bio Professor Sarah Moss is the author of six novels, ""Ghost Wall"" (Granta, 2018), ""The Tidal Zone"" (Granta, 2016), ""Signs for Lost Children"" (Granta, 2015), ""Bodies of Light"" (Granta, 2014), ""Night Waking"" (Granta, 2011) and ""Cold Earth"" (Granta, 2009).

Chair: Bjarke Mørkøre Stigel Hansen Europe’s history has been extensively studied in terms of its political, economic, religious history, literary and cultural history. Could there be a distinctly philosophical history of Europe? Not a history of philosophy in Europe, but a history of Europe that focuses on what, in its history and identity, ties it to philosophy? In his two volumes of Europe: A Philosophical History, Simon Glendinning takes up this question, telling the story of Europe’s history as a philosophical history. In volume 1, The Promise of Modernity, Glendinning examines the conception of Europe that links it to ideas of rational Enlightenment and modernity. In volume 2, Beyond Modernity, Glendinning discusses Europe’s modern promise of universal peace, freedom and well-being for all humanity in the wake of two world wars of European origin. Simon Glendinning is Head of the European Institute, London School of Economics and Political Science and Professor in European Philosophy. His work is largely concerned with the phenomenological tradition in philosophy, the divide between ‘analytic’ and ‘continental’ philosophy, deconstruction, and the turn from European Philosophy towards the Philosophy of Europe. Christian Benne is Professor of European Literature and Intellectual History and co-leader of the research group “Thinking the European Republic of Letters” at CEMES. Sabrina Ebbersmeyer is Associate Professor in Philosophy and co-leader of the research group “Thinking the European Republic of Letters” at CEMES.

In research on third language acquisition and multilingualism metalinguistic awareness has been discussed in a number of studies as a cognitive advantage. The domains of the multilingual system in which metalinguistic ability and awareness play a crucial role are linguistic development in general, the development of cognitive, metacognitive and information-processing abilities and the development of literacy skills. In the Dynamic Model of Multilingualism (Herdina & Jessner 2002) it features as an emergent property and core component of the so-called M(ultilingualism)-Factor, that is in contrast to bi- and monolingual learners multilingual learners develop new, emergent skills and abilities comprising enhanced meta- and cross-linguistic awareness, heightened monitor functions and special language learning, language management and language maintenance skills as a function of their multilingualism. In a number of studies of the DyME (Dynamics of Multilingualism with English) – group at Innsbruck University the role of multilingual awareness in a variety of language learning scenarios ranging from kindergarten to secondary schools in Austria and Italy (South Tyrol) has been focused on. It has been evidenced that language experience matters in both multilingual learning and teaching.

Embracing pop culture studies as well as the history of bodies, our conference opens up a dialogue between experts from two research fields and, thus, aims at establishing a new perspective on contemporary history that uses the corporeal dimensions of different forms of ‘losing it’ as a lens for studying the social and cultural politics of ecstasy. Moshpit3, photo: R0uge 2006. wetwebwork from London, U.K, CC BY-SA 2.0, via Wikimedia Commons During the 1950s, pop cultures became a phenomenon on a global scale. From the beginning, ecstatic states of the body – caused by the use of substances, by experimenting with different sorts of sexuality, by immersing into music and dancing, by reaching out to religion and spirituality – played an important part in pop cultures. Pop cultures and ecstatic bodies often depended on and referred to each other. States of ecstasy and trance, on the one hand, constituted driving forces in the shaping and the development of pop cultures. On the other hand, pop cultures created and spread new types of ecstasies and new practices of getting ecstatic. Relying on concepts of ‘doing ecstasy,’ ‘controlling ecstasy,’ and ‘representing ecstasy,’ the conference examines important aspects of the entanglement between pop cultures and ecstatic bodies. Case studies include, e.g., punk music, Hollywood films, and marijuana usage, and they range geographically from Europe and North America to India or Nigeria, together exploring the role of gender, race, age, spaces, travelling, and various other aspects related to the corporeal dimensions of ‘getting high.’ If you are interested in joining the conference, please register by writing an email to ecstatic_pop_cultures@gmx.de.

Generally, education is conducted in the dominant language of the nation-state, and when bilingual education exists, a language other than that of the nation-state is additionally used. But these efforts rely on colonial understandings of language, race and gender that have produced the inequities in education that continue to create differences and oppress many. The concept of translanguaging is here offered as a way to decolonize these understandings and how to then educate in ways that start with the linguistic, cultural, and knowledge production practices of racialized bilingual/multilingual students.

Værket rummer en af de største fortællinger i vestens kulturhistorie og har inspireret kunstnere og forfattere i århundreder. Det er et encyklopædisk værk, der involverer alle vidensområder og overskrider faglige grænser. Dante er en samlende figur, som forskere fra klassisk filologi, litteraturvidenskab, italiensk, retorik, filosofi, jura, og teologi kan mødes omkring. Vi fejrer derfor Dante med et tværfagligt seminar, der kaster lys over udvalgte politiske, religiøse og kulturelle perspektiver i Dantes forfatterskab og med en unik teaterperformance, ED ELLI A ME, instrueret til lejligheden af Giuseppe Bonifati, leder af performancegruppen Divano Occidentale Orientale & Det Flyvende Teater.

Bonifati (gentagelse af forestillingen med nyt publikum) Om ED ELLI A ME Titlen er et citat fra Dantes Den Guddommelige Komedie, hvor sætningen ”ed elli a me”, der betyder ”og han til mig” (underforstået ”og han sagde til mig”), gentages flere steder. Med titlen fremhæves således den dialog, som hovedpersonen Dante har med hundredvis af personer i de tre dødsriger, der fortæller ham om deres skæbne og om hvorfor de befinder sig netop dér, hvor de er.Der er tale om en moderne tilpasning af Den Guddommelige Komedie. Publikum føres ind i det gamle universitetsbibliotek i Fiolstræde af Dante og Vergil, som spilles af henholdsvis den spanske skuespiller Alberto Martinez Guinaldo og den danske operasanger Fritjof Fuglesang. Dante og Vergil ledsager publikum ind i det forfærdelige helvedesimperium, ”Lad alt håb fare, I der her går ind”. De infernalske skabninger, klædt i hjelme og brandmandsdragter, venter på at få besøg fra omverdenen. Alle er begejstrede over ønsket om at fortælle den historie, der brænder inde i dem som en hemmelighed, de nidkært vogter over. Publikum deltager i en speed-date i helvede, ansigt til ansigt med de forskellige væsner, der befolker det. Ideen er at tilbyde en intim og suggestiv oplevelse til publikum, der således skifter ’partner’ efter få minutter. 451 grader Fahrenheit er den temperatur, hvor syndere antændes i helvede og bliver til aske under deres tilståelser. Tilskuerne bliver introduceret til et helvede, hvor de angrende tvinges til at sone for jordiske synder ved at brænde indeni, som det sker for adskillige andre hovedpersoner i verdenslitteraturen. De infernalske skabninger vil blive personificeret af de tredive optrædende studerende fra CISPA International School of Performing Arts. Begivenheden realiseres i et samarbejde mellem italienskfaget ved Institut for Engelsk, Germansk og Romansk (KU), Studenterhuset, Københavns Universitets campus service, og Giuseppe Bonifati, leder af performancegruppen Divano Occidentale Orientale & Det Flyvende Teater. Projektet er støttet økonomisk af Det Italienske Udenrigsministerium, Det Italienske Kulturministerium (Dante 2021), Det Italienske Kulturinstitut, Foreningen Dante Alighieri, Institut for Engelsk, Germansk og Romansk, samt Lasson Andersens Fond.

Digital capitalism has transformed the meaning of language from an entry point into different ways of speaking, thinking, and living to a flat landscape of total equivalences and total translatability between languages. This paper revisits Jakobson’s poetic function of language and principle of equivalence (Jakobson 1960) in light of the recent developments in machine translation and in the digital “Cross-linguistic information retrieval platforms"" (CLIR) developed between 1997-2016 mentioned in Gramling (2021). I will argue that the three savoirs that in Byram’s model pertain to language competence: savoir, savoir faire and savoir comprendre are rapidly being resignified by a view of language as commodity or tool, and communication as the efficient transmission of information. Such a resignification affects also the two other savoirs: savoir s’engager and savoir être which are in danger of being reduced to sloganized activism and belief in the total translatability across languages respectively. I compare “political education” (Byram 2021) and “translingual activism” (Pennycook 2010) and show how a focus on the poetic function of language could better prepare teachers to deal with these two dimensions of intercultural language teaching.

This event is known as “Genforeningen” (“the reunification”) in Danish historiography. Other European regions were also affected by a shift of political borders in the aftermath of World War I. These borders have in common that they divided multilingual territories which are characterized by long-lasting language and dialect contact. At the same time many European cities have increased their multilingual character due to immigration, seeing the emergence of new neighbourhoods, sometimes definable within micro-geographical borders. With our conference we wish to shed light on the significance of borders for the contact varieties used in multilingual territory, both in a structural and a sociolinguistic perspective. We aim to improve our understanding of possible common and unique features in different contact situations.

I oplægges deles aha-oplevelser og erfaringer fra deltagende sprog- og samfundslærere i CLIL-projektet, “CLIL-stifindere: Flersprogede veje til viden i gymnasiet”. Diskussion og opsamling på padlet: Hvad er der behov for, hvordan kunne vi gå videre? og farvel ved Susanne Jacobsen Pérez. Workshop 2: Naturfaglige perspektiver på tværs ved Joyce Kling Link til Zoom Building Vocabulary – Building Communicative Competence ved Merete Olsen og Søren Hattesen Balle, Professionshøjskolen Absalon. This talk is about how EFL classrooms can support the development of communicative competence through a focus on sustainability in cross-disciplinary projects between the subjects English and Science. A substantiated discussion and examples of relevant subject-specific learning activities will be introduced with a focus on the development of academic vocabulary and communicative competence in ELT. Sprog i Science - Science i Sprog ved Anna Scharling Brun og Barbara Schønsted-Madsen, Nærum Gymnasium. Nedslag i et undervisningsforløb, der er opstået i et samarbejde mellem 2.fremmedsprog og biologi og nu udvides til andre sciencefag. Vi har fokus på karrierelæring og sprogs anvendelighed i tværfaglige sammenhænge i og uden for gymnasiet både som hoved- og tillægskompetence. Det teoretiske grundlag for mange af øvelserne er CLIL-tankegangen anvendt i praksis. Sprog på det naturvidenskabelige gymnasium AGS, Alssundsgymnasiet ved Malene Samsø Nielsen, Alssundssgymnasiet. Oplægget tager udgangspunkt i erfaringer fra projektet ’Fremmedsprogsstrategi på det naturvidenskabelige gymnasium AGS’, der har fokuseret på fremmedsprogskompetencer som anvendelsesorienteret i lokale, nationale såvel som globale kontekster. Jeg vil pege på nogle af de udfordringer vi og vores elever møder i udviklingen og arbejdet med fremmedsprog i et overvejende naturvidenskabeligt miljø og hvordan vi kan imødekomme disse i vores fremadrettede arbejde med det sproglige miljø. STEM og 2. fremmedsprog: Hvad får eleverne til at vælge det? ved Louise Westmark og Nynne Afzelius, Gefion Gymnasium. Vi vil præsentere vores overvejelser omkring, hvad der får elever til at vælge (og fravælge) hhv. STEM og 2.fremmedsprog, og hvordan disse overvejelser bla. har spillet ind på vores udformning af det CLIL-forløb, som vi er ved at starte op. Diskussion og opsamling på padlet: Hvad er der behov for, hvordan kunne vi gå videre? og farvel ved Joyce Kling. Workshop 3: Tysk på tværs af fag og niveauer ved Petra Daryai-Hansen Link til Zoom KursKultur 2.0: Autentiske dansk-tyske elevmøder og tværfaglig, interkulturel læring ved Petra Klimaszyk, Professionshøjskolen Absalon. I oplægget deles erfaring fra planlægningsfasen af projektet. I forløbet, der skal gennemføres i efteråret, samarbejder danske og tyske skoler for at styrke 8.-9. klasse elevernes sproglige og interkulturelle kompetencer. Igennem tværfaglige projekter (tysk og naturfag), der omhandler aktuelle problemstillinger som plastikaffald eller forurenede haver, og autentisk sprogbrug skal eleverne opleve, at tysk/dansk som fremmedsprog er relevante. Succesoplevelsen, at de kan klare sig i målsproget, og de har det sjovt med jævnaldre elever fra nabolandet skal motivere dem til at lære nabosproget. Erdkunde und Biologie – mal auf Deutsch ved Carl Kinze, Distriktsskole Smørum, Egedal Kommune. Die Grundschulfächer Erdkunde und Biologie bieten sich nicht nur förmlich sondern inhaltlich für den Deutsch-Unterricht an. Teils ist das Thema Landeskunde schon im Unterricht integriert, teils sind deutsche biologische und geografische Fachwörter total transparent. Das Einsteigen und Erlernen von Deutsch erfährt erfahrungsgemäß einen guten Anschub sobald man mit Deutsch ""weiterkommt"". Am Beispiel des Projekts Meer Deutsch werden die Vorteile eines CLIL-basierten Unterrichts vorgestellt. Deutsch ist eben auch ein Walfach. Mediekompetencer på tværs af niveauer ved Karen Margrethe Aarøe, UC SYD, Læreruddannelsen Campus Haderslev. Eks. 1 tager afsæt i et samarbejdsprojekt på fire niveauer om blogskrivning mellem tyskstuderende i læreruddannelsen og tyskelever i udskolingen. Eks. 2 er fra EVU og handler om deltagernes brug af ”Book Creator” til at videndele erfaringer med forløb og læremidler for bedre at kunne rammesætte elevers brug af multimodale medier til sprogtilegnelse Samfundsfaglige perspektiver i tyskfaget ved Lise Bernsten Høyer, Frederiksværk gymnasium og HF. Der gives eksempler på studieretningssamarbejde og studieture med grønt fokus i tysk og samfundsfag ”Insekten statt Fleisch?”, ”Atomausstieg - warum?” og ”Gibt es Alternativen zu Plastik?” ved Nina Westh, Nørre Gymnasium. I oplægget deles erfaringer fra undervisningsforløb, hvor eleverne ved at arbejde med aktuelle og relevante problemstillinger i et samarbejde mellem deres naturvidenskabelige studieretningsfag og tysk oplever en relevans i sprogundervisningen, et autentisk sprogbehov og en øget motivation for at arbejde med det tyske sprog og samfund. Hjælp til opfyldelse af læreplanen på de gymnasiale uddannelser vha. CLIL ved Lene Porsborg, Frederikshavn Handelsskole, formand for Handelsskolernes Tysklærerforening. Der præsenteres forslag til, hvorledes man kan opfylde følgende mål i læreplanen (HHX,STX,HTX): ”Der skal indgå materiale på engelsk samt, når det er muligt, på andre fremmedsprog.” I disse eksempler vises, hvordan man fx vha. sammenligning af tekster på forskellige sprog kan give eleverne indsigt i sprogene og forståelse for, at faglige emner ofte har deres eget ”sprog”, om end de er skrevet på forskellige nationale sprog. Desuden gives der ideer til, hvordan man kan skabe yderligere interesse for fremmedsprog i grundskolen ved samarbejde mellem lærere i gymnasiet og i grundskolen. Diskussion og opsamling på padlet: Hvad er der behov for, hvordan kunne vi gå videre? og farvel ved Petra Daryai-Hansen. 25. august Hvad er der behov for, hvordan kunne vi gå videre?

Kl. 16-18.30 Link til Zoom Kl. 16.00-16.10: Velkommen til og kort opsamling fra dag 1: Hvad er der behov for, hvordan kunne vi gå videre? ved Joyce Kling og Susanne Jacobsen Pérez Kl. 16.10-16.40: Fremmedsprog i uddannelserne: behov, kvalitet og motivation ved Hanne Leth Andersen, rektor for Roskilde Universitet Fremmedsprog forekommer mere og mere usynlige i uddannelsessystemet, til trods for at der er enighed om relevansen af sprog-kulturel viden og kompetence. Jeg vil i oplægget fremlægge muligheder for at bringe fremmedsprog mere i spil – og skabe mere motivation – fra grundskole til universitet, både af hensyn til relevans, kvalitet og employability. Kl. 16.45-18.15 (med pause undervejs): Parallelle workshops (se nedenfor – det er op til dig, hvilken workshop du deltager i). Kl. 18.20-18.30: Næste skridt og farvel ved Joyce Kling og Susanne Jacobsen Pérez. Link til Zoom. Workshop 1: Fokus på de videregående uddannelser: behovsanalyser og didaktiske modeller ved Joyce Kling og Susanne Jacobsen Pérez Link til Zoom Modeller for integreret sprogundervisning – erfaringer fra videregående uddannelser ved Anne Holmen og Sanne Larsen, Center for Internationalisering og Parallelsproglighed, Københavns Universitet. På baggrund af vores arbejde med to udviklingsprojekter vedrørende integration af sprog i mellemlange og lange videregående uddannelser vil vi præsentere tre modeller, der har været afprøvet i praksis. De adskiller sig på formål, sprog og institutionel forankring. Sprogprofilen ved Roskilde Universitet ved Susanne Jacobsen Pérez og Joshua Sabih, Roskilde Universitet. I dette oplæg giver vi et indblik i, hvordan Sprogprofilen gennem CLIL-didaktik styrker de bachelorstuderendes indblik i humanistiske og samfundsvidenskabelige problemstillinger på fransk, tysk eller spansk, og udvider deres kommunikative kompetencer på disse tre sprog, så de bliver i stand til at begå sig i universitetssammenhænge på disse sprog og som vidensmedarbejdere på flersprogede arbejdspladser. Muligheder og udfordringer med CLIL i læreruddannelsen ved Robert Lee Revier og Catherine Watson, Københavns Professionshøjskole. Oplægget vil forklare motivationen for et specialiseringsmodul i CLIL på læreruddannelsen på KP og de indsigter vi har fået som resultat af modulets implementering. Vi vil især kigge på hvilke indsigter modulet har givet os i forhold til uddannelsen af engelsklærere i bredere perspektiv og give eksempler på hvordan en CLIL-tilgang kan gavne både fremmedsprog og andre fag i læreruddannelsen. Diskussion og opsamling på padlet: Hvad er der behov for, hvordan kunne vi gå videre? ved Joyce Kling og Susanne Jacobsen Pérez. Workshop 2: Erhvervsfokus og karriereperspektiv: analyser og didaktiske modeller ved Petra Daryai-Hansen Link til Zoom Undersøgelse af gevinster ved sproglige tillægskompetencer ved Jytte Lyngvig, Københavns Universitet. Ud fra egne erfaringer vidste jeg, at tillægskompetencer i sprog var en gevinst for arbejdsliv og karriere. Ved eksplorative undersøgelser har jeg vist, at det gælder bredt for ikke-sprogligt uddannede, og det gælder særligt for: ""givet mig mere interessante arbejdsopgaver"" og ""øget min værdi på arbejdsmarkedet"". Generation Global: Multilingualism and intercultural skills for a dual-competency workforce of the future ved Ana Kanareva-Dimitrovska, Aarhus Universitet. I mit oplæg vil jeg fortælle om Erasmus+-projektet Generation global som tager afsæt i, at vi i Europa har brug for unge med stærke sproglige og interkulturelle kompetencer, så de kan tackle de udfordringer, der opstår i de europæiske samfund og på fremtidens arbejdsmarked. Jeg vil derudover præsentere forskellige muligheder for, hvordan man kan inddrage erhvervslivet i fremmedsprogundervisningen samt karrierelæring. Tysk i et karriereperspektiv – erfaringer fra folkeskole og gymnasieuddannelser ved Jan Engberg, Aarhus Universitet. I de seneste år har jeg dels selv været involveret i arrangementer, hvor gymnasieelever kunne prøve kræfter med karriere-orienteret kommunikation, dels koordineret et projekt, hvor forskellige tiltag har været afprøvet på såvel folkeskole- som gymnasieniveau. Mit oplæg vil give et overblik over de forskellige typer af aktiviteter, vi har afprøvet, samt over erfaringerne herfra.

The purpose of this talk is to explore the role of metapragmatic reflection and the potential for developing intercultural understanding in the teaching and learning of L2 pragmatics. Taking the recognition of the close relationship between pragmatics and culture and the need to engage learners with this relationship as our starting point, we will then focus on interpretation and reflection as key learning processes for exploring this relationship. ​Data will be presented from language classrooms in Japan and Denmark that illustrate concrete ways that learners come to make sense of situated language use and personal experience from an intercultural perspective.

"Emotions of Inclusion and Exclusion in Transnational Spaces";"";"2021-05-20";"";"2021-05-21";"";"";"This interdisciplinary workshop brings together a series of papers that examine representations of how migrants feel, manage, articulate and narrate emotions of inclusion and exclusion in the course of diverse migration experiences in the past and present across global spaces.";" ⓒ Photo by Jr Korpa on Unsplash Introduction Migrants and refugees typically experience inclusions and exclusions as they endeavour to settle in a new country and try to feel at home. Within these processes, emotions of inclusions and exclusions (joy, fear, rage, frustration, guilt, hope, promise, nostalgia, etc.) are negotiated by migrants and their significant others in myriad ways, as they experience them and reflect on them on a quotidian basis. Similar emotions are integrated in migrants’ experiences throughout their journeys, border crossings, departures, settlements, and movements between cultures. This interdisciplinary workshop brings together a series of papers that examine representations of how migrants feel, manage, articulate and narrate emotions of inclusion and exclusion in the course of diverse migration experiences in the past and present across global spaces. In particular, the workshop explores the agentive forces of emotions evidenced in processes of integration, as experienced by migrants and more sedentary local communities. The ultimate aim of the workshop is to underscore the degree in which emotions are significant in the analysis of mobile lives. The workshop builds on the conference “Representations of Migration and Emotions of Exclusion,” which was held at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin (20-21 March 2019) as part of the Max Planck Society research initiative “Challenges of Migration, Integration and Exclusion”. Contributions in the workshop will be included in an edited volume that examines the interrelationships between migration and emotions, exclusion and inclusion, and representations and narratives, in both local and global discourses.

Through a tearful gaze, the touch of a hand, and the search for words directed to the interviewer, she lends testimony to the forms of depravity and suffering she experienced in her life, and the injustice of it all. This embodied narration of Aisha’s story struck the interviewer deeply, and later, emphatically described the scene in a report through an intersubjective lens. Empathy, a notion that explicates feelings and states of mind of openness and movement to other people's emotions, experiences, and reflections, has garnered burgeoning interest in recent years. Similarly, narratives that describe the experiences of migrants remain as relevant as ever in the interdisciplinary study of migration. How does empathy operate in the narration of migrant experiences? What inter-connections and effects are engendered at the micro- and macro-levels? This paper will endeavour to explore the concept of empathy and its weavings inside/outside narratives by examining a series of transcribed semi-structured interviews of migrant war orphans who immigrated to Italy and South Africa in the late 20th and early 21st century. Bio Dr. Sonia Cancian is a social historian with an interest in international migration and personal narratives. Before her return to Montreal in 2019, she was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development's Center for History of Emotions in Berlin. Much of Cancian's research is focused on postwar international migration, migrant personal correspondence, gender dynamics, intimacy, emotions and migration and family. New areas of research include post-conflict resettlement, memory and migration in the 20th and 21st century. Cancian is the author of Families, Lovers, and their Letters: Italian Postwar Migration to Canada (University of Manitoba Press). Recent publications include two volumes published in 2021: Emotional Landscapes: Love, Gender, and Migration (University of Illinois Press), co-edited by Marcelo Borges, Sonia Cancian and Linda Reeder, and Cancian’s With Your Words in My Hands: The Letters of Antonietta and Loris (McGill-Queen’s University Press). She is currently international member of the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research on Montreal and visiting researcher at the Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism, Faculty of Law, McGill University. Negotiating Exclusion within Child Migration: Legal liminality and the Process of Narrativization of the Child Migrant in the Republic of Ireland Diego Castillo Goncalves, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland Abstract This paper investigates the processes by which experiences of exclusion shaped by ‘legal liminality’ interrelate with the narrativization and production of discourses on child migration. It analyses therefore the ways by which legal liminality interacts and engages with notions of emotion across different categories of migrant children, and subsequently, how this symbiotic relationship shapes narratives and construction of representations of this population. To do so, the paper focuses on how governance strategies and legal frameworks, or change within these frameworks, have come to produce migrant children’s experiences of legal liminality, and the interrelationship between this and the process of narrativization. Firstly, the paper conducts this analysis by advancing conceptualisations of ‘legal liminality’ in light of emotional discourses present within legal frameworks. It then sets its scope of enquiry, comparatively looking at oral accounts provided by migrant children living in the Republic of Ireland, evoking a comparative standpoint between the early 2000s, when a large set of migrant children arrived in the state, with more recent social and political concerns, engaging with relevance played by time in changes or stratification of this interrelationship between emotions and migration. The paper concludes by addressing how legal liminality has influenced discourse and construction of migrant children in the Irish state. Bio Diego Castillo Goncalves is a doctoral researcher in the School of Law, Trinity College Dublin (TCD). Prior to this, Diego worked as a Legal Advisor with Asylum Access Malaysia, and as the Children’s Officer with the Irish Refugee Council.

Little information about the processes lived within host communities and emerging inequalities in these societies has been addressed. Based on a comparative biographical study conducted in Santiago, Chile, and Berlin, this chapter will show how Latin American skilled migrants manage emotions in their everyday lives. The chapter is divided into four parts. Firstly, a theoretical definition of emotions will be presented, which will allow understanding their significant role in social processes. Secondly, narratives of skilled migrants' struggles will show the prominence of social stereotypes and barriers for integration. In a third section of the analysis, I will underscore the emotions associated with feelings of inequality, demonstrating the ways in which origin, profession, gender and children are entangled. The fourth section will describe the diverse ways migrants manage social stereotypes and how they perform host communities; transforming negative feelings into positive perceptions, and resolving stress points in a process of integration and recognition. The conclusion will point to the continuum of inclusion and exclusion and related constraints on transmigrants and their agency to experience creative lives. Bio Dr. Javiera Cienfuegos is an Associate Professor at Universidad Academia de Humanismo Cristiano (Chile). Her main research areas include the family diversity, transnational migration, and social emotions, as part of the umbrella topic of transnational families, an area of study she has advanced on since 2007. Dr. Cienfuegos’s scientific chapters and articles are available in numerous languages. She is editor and co-editor of three books and special issues. Javiera Cienfuegos teaches courses in sociology on migration and emotions, and qualitative and mixed methods of social research. Currently, Dr. Cienfuegos works on a project that underscores family diversity through the visual academic- and community-based project “Familia Glocal”. The goal of this project is to make visible and rescue quotidian experiences and issues in ways that people are “doing family”. Youtube Facebook “Sounds of Slavic Unculturedness”: Music as Gendered, Aged and Classed Emotion of Exclusion and Inclusion in Transnational Space Ondřej Daniel, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic Abstract This study explores a set of collective emotions associated with migration from contemporary Eastern and Southeastern Europe. For this purpose, I focus on the representations of migrants and their offspring in order to analyse emotions linked with their exclusion and inclusion expressed in the contemporary production of popular and subcultural music. In my paper, I also ask how these are affected by experiences of gender, age and class. The distinct qualities of diasporic music from contemporary Eastern and Southeastern Europe produce particular kinds of emotions. These are often instrumented by high-pitched sounds, specific rhythms and a certain loudness. Some of the musical traits reflect the regions’ associations with war and conflict, as well as joy, passion and fatalism. What results is a delimitation between a primitive and aggressive “male” side and a beautiful, proud and resistant “female” side of the region. The area is, thus, conceived as Europe’s “Other” and its signature music is seen as exotic, especially in the urban landscapes of “old Europe”. At the same time, this aesthetic captures something that some non-migrant audiences had long seen as missing from their own cultures. Bio Ondřej Daniel earned a PhD from the Institute of World History at Charles University’s Faculty of Arts, with a dissertation later published as Rock or Turbofolk: The Imagination of Migrants from the Former Yugoslavia (2013). Since 2016, he published a series of works that synthesised his research on the role of subcultures and violence in the development of post-socialist mainstream Czech culture and DIY subcultural practices. His current work examines intersections of class and xenophobia in contemporary Czech society. He is a founding member of the Centre for the Study of Popular Culture. He works in the Seminar on General and Comparative History within the Department of Global History at Charles University’s Faculty of Arts. Diaspora, Dispossession and Refugees in our own Land Robyn Heckenberg, Curtin University, Perth, Australia Abstract This is an Australian Indigenous Wiradjuri standpoint. It expresses an emotional chronicle of dispossession creating an Aboriginal diaspora. In heart wrenching contexts, Aboriginal people became refugees in their own land. Exclusion, loss of freedom, close surveillance and prohibitions, are stories framed within histories of emotion. Storylines in archives and oral histories of clan and tribal connection to Country speak of trauma, disconnection and forced removal to places far away. Policies of segregation establishing missions and reserves, were sources of homesickness and grief. Experiences created narratives resonating within a history of emotions. Yet ongoing impacts on Aboriginal society and culture through this compelling rendering of ancestral history also speaks survival, resilience, and even joy. Emotions in truth-telling contexts resonate our commonalities globally: Sami, Hawaiian and Canadian colonial experiences. From a dialectic perspective, Indigenous people are refugees in their own lands. Cultural and historical knowledge of Indigenous people through emotion and stories of feeling resonate as recordings of devastation, but also hope. Indigenous people’s story-telling describes social commentaries of interrelatedness in connection to country channelling healing and love. Attempted cultural genocide and land expulsion make way for transformative times of shared Indigenous voices, reflected globally in the amity of UNDRIP, seeking harmonious solutions. Bio Robyn Heckenberg is a Wiradjuri Academic with a binding interest in community histories, social justice, river story and community development through the arts. She explores creative education and place pedagogy as conduits for Caring for Country and ensuring greater self-determination for Indigenous Australians. Her work expresses ways for environmental issues and cultural knowledge to gain greater visibility and traction so as to better look after and care for our wondrous Mother Earth and all creation. Robyn is Associate Professor and Dean of Learning and Teaching at Centre for Aboriginal Studies at Curtin University, Perth W.A. As a woman of the Wiradjuri Nation, she is from the Murray-Darling Basin. Robyn is an Associate Researcher for the Centre for the History of Emotions, UWA. Older Refugees Striving for Social Inclusion in an African Urban Setting Faith Kilpeläinen, University of Lapland, Rovaniemi, Finland Minna Zechner, Associated Professor, University of Lapland, Rovaniemi, Finland Abstract Since refugees have been forced to leave their home country mostly due to war or political oppression, they have had to carry heavy emotional burdens caused by harsh life experiences. Alienation, lack of meaning and lack of life satisfaction are common experiences in such drastic and pervasive changes. We study the ways refugees from Kenya, Burundi, Kongo, Rwanda and Sudan in Nairobi strive for social inclusion, emphasizing the ethnos part of social inclusion including narrated emotional experiences and processes. Ethnos refers to a sense of cohesion and identification through shared values and cultural community. Demos is more about the formal rights ascribed to citizenship. Both ethnos and demos are essential in social inclusion, which we understand as a state where social relationships are built, individuals do not feel socially isolated. Social inclusion thus means the empowerment of individuals to participate in a society. It is contextual, so that in an urban setting the means for social inclusion are different from a rural context. The data for this chapter are drawn from fifteen interviews with African older refugees living in Nairobi, aged 50 and over. The age reflects the notions of ageing in Kenya, resonating certain physical attributes, reproductive experiences and roles performed in the community. Bios Faith Kilpeläinen is a postgraduate degree student at the faculty of social sciences in the discipline of social work at the University of Lapland in Finland. With a background in social work and nursing sciences she has focused to research older adults with refugee background and forced migration. Earlier she has done a study on experiences of gerontological social workers in a social welfare system, looking into their experiences with elderly clients. Minna Zechner is an Associate Professor in social work at the University of Lapland in Finland. Most of her research has to do with ageing and especially elder care. She has written text books on care and studied migration in relation to care: how transnational elder care is taking place and how migrants combine work and family life. Additionally, she has studied transnational habitus and mobility life stories of retired individuals. She has done also policy relevant research, as her main field is social policy. Qualitative and comparative research are familiar ways of working for her. At the moment she is co-leading a project on gerontological social work.

The Integration of German Expellees in Catholic Church in West Germany after 1945 and the Ambivalent Role of Expellee Priests Soňa Mikulová, Center for the History of Emotions, Max Planck Institute for Human Development, Berlin, Germany Abstract This chapter explores mechanisms of inclusion and exclusion from a historical perspective on the process of integration of German refugees from the East, who came to Germany mainly between 1945 and 1950. Mikulová analyzes specific church communities in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Rottenburg in the first postwar decade. Drawing from the history of emotions, she focuses on emotional expressions, practices and styles as evidenced in archival documents and secondary literature, in order to investigate already established and newly created emotional communities and their capacity to include or exclude new members. Moreover, she identifies specific building elements of exclusion, such as moments, actors, acts and reactions to it, through individual feelings of exclusion. She argues that this combination of conceptual frameworks adds further understanding of the integration process of German expellees into church communities, which could be applied to broader research of inclusion and exclusion in history and presence. Bio Soňa Mikulová received her PhD at Charles University in Prague. After joining the Center for the History of Emotions in 2017, she was also a team member of a three-year research initiative of the Max Planck Society “Challenges of Migration, Integration and Exclusion”. Currently, she is engaged in her research project on the “emotional integration” of German expellees in both German countries after 1945. Her research interest lies in memory and cultural studies, history of emotions and public history with special focus on Central Europe and Italy. Recent publications include: “German Expellees in West Germany after 1945 and their Integration into Church Communities”, in Similar but Different: Inclusion and Exclusion of Immigrant Communities Sharing Similar Cultural Backgrounds with Their Host Societies.

Feeling like an Emotional Community: The Forced Migration and Integration of Germans from Silesia, Pomerania and East Prussia (1945-1955) Cecilia Molesini, University of Padua, Verona, Venice Ca’ Foscari, Italy Abstract During and after WWII millions of Germans fled or were expelled from their home in the Ostgebiete of the German Reich and subsequently integrated in post-war occupied Germany. The role of the protestant Church in their reception and care was fundamental. Pastors, for instance, used circular letters (Rundbriefe) as important instruments to keep in touch with their parishioners and to create a network among families who were dispersed throughout Germany and with whom they corresponded regularly. For this contribution I turn to both the Rundbriefe and the letters of the parishioners to analyze this phenomenon through a bottom-up approach. By comparing protestant communities from three villages in Silesia, Pomerania and East Prussia I explore the ways in which these different groups comprise the one “emotional community” and to what extent forced migration itself may be identified as a possible creator of one such community. In examining people’s narratives in the period between 1945 and 1955, common ambivalent emotions have been evidenced, based on the one hand, on their desire to become more integrated in their new surroundings, and, on the other hand, the hope to be allowed to return home. Bio Cecilia Molesini is currently completing a PhD in Historical Studies at the Universities of Padua, Verona and Venice Ca’ Foscari. Her project focuses on flight and expulsion of Germans from Silesia, Pomerania and East Prussia after World War II and their integration in West Germany up until the mid-1970s analysing ego-documents through the history of emotions’ perspective. During her doctoral studies, she spent several months conducting research in Berlin and completing a semester at the University of Cologne, courtesy of the Erasmus+ program. She graduated with degrees in Philosophy (BA), and International Relations (MA) from the University of Bologna. As part of these studies, she attended the Free University in Berlin in 2012-2013 and spent one semester at the Higher School of Economics in Moscow in 2015. Since January 2018, she has been a member of the editorial board for the journal “Ricerche di Storia Politica”. Who is being Urusai? Emotions of Indonesian Migrants towards Noise Politics in Rural Japan Median Mutiara, Nagoya University, Japan Abstract The symbolic representation of rural areas in Japan is laden with notions of ie, which are reflected in the paternalistic practices in the workplace, housing, and neighborly relationships. During my ethnographic fieldwork in Oarai, a small, dense town in eastern coast of Japan, I noticed the tension between migrants and the locals through the presence of set-up stones and barbed wires in the neighborhood. This paper aims to examine the emotions of migrants in relation to their neighbors by revealing the underlying conflict and attribution between the two groups in everyday encounters. The data is collected through in-depth interviews and sensory ethnography of three participants, and my experience as a migrant living in the neighborhood for eight months. The study finds that Japanese neighbors reprimand the migrants for noise making by complaining, reporting and attributing them with the word ‘urusai’ (literally means noisy, fussy, and annoying). Migrants perceived it as a stigma and rejection of their presence in the neighborhood, as they believed noise is not merely about the sound they made, but their unwanted presence. In its escalation, migrants started using ‘urusai’ to address Japanese neighbors, as an expression of frustration, sadness, rejection and disappointment rather than anger. It also reflects resistance towards the continuous ‘urusai acts’ by the Japanese neighbors in an attempt to expel the migrants. This study shows how noise can be a political tool to exercise power and control across space and how emotions try to resist it by challenging the notion. Bio Median Mutiara is a PhD candidate in Anthropology (migration studies) in Nagoya University, Japan. Her current research is exploring purity-impurity conceptions of Nikkei Manadonese migrants through sensory and embodied experiences in their everyday domains. Her research interests include sensory ethnography, ethnic minority integration and education, care-migration and religious practices in migration in the contexts of Indonesia and Japan. The related article on noise making is published in the journal Social Sciences, and the finding is featured in Japan’s daily newspaper, The Asahi Shimbun. Bangladeshi ‘infiltrators’ and the Politics of Fear in Hindu India Maggie Paul, University of Adelaide, Australia Abstract The clandestine (Muslim) ‘Bangladeshi migrant’ has been a referent par excellence for ‘national threat’ discourses in India. Besides making a regular appearance in emotionally charged election campaigns and propelling major deportation drives in metropolitan cities with colourful names such as Operation Flush-Out, the figure of this ‘enemy’ has been used to penalise vulnerable urban populations for long. Sankaran Krishna has aptly articulated this longstanding obsession with ‘alien infiltration’ in terms of postcolonial ‘cartographic anxiety’. The public emotion of insecurity is both the anchor to and propelled by a politics of fear; ‘the Muslim is discursively constructed as a site of fear, fantasy, distrust, anger, envy and hatred, thus generating desires of emulation, abjection and/or extermination’, says Dibyesh Anand. This narrative has even led to solid policy implications such as amendments to the only citizenship related legal statute in the country, including the latest one in November 2019, which led to unprecedented countrywide protests in early 2020. The paper would (a) explore the contemporary politics of fear around the Bangladeshi migrants by charting the progression of the narrative of ‘infiltration’ and (b) repercussions for all migrants in the country; thus, highlighting the role of public emotions in creating political discourses around migration in the South Asian context over time. Bio Maggie Paul is a researcher of South Asian politics and culture. She is currently enrolled as a doctoral candidate with the Department of Politics and IR at the University of Adelaide, Australia. Her PhD research focuses on civil society and the 'crisis' of migrant citizenship during the COVID-19 lockdown in India. Her research interests include migration and migrant citizenship practices; citizenship regimes and civil society; social theory specifically post-humanist, decolonial theory; Buddhist ethics, psychology and ecology; and philosophy of education and pedagogical innovations. Read more about Maggie Paul Living In-Between Inclusion and Exclusion: The Emotional Dimensions of Spousal Visa Holders’ Liminal Legal Status Alexandra Ridgway, Centre for Criminology, The University of Hong Kong Abstract Between inclusion and exclusion, liminality can be found. Liminality is the hyphen space of living in-between the security of inclusion and perils of exclusion; a place “betwixt and between all the recognized fixed points in space-time of structural classification” (Turner, 1967, p.97). Yet, liminality also conveys a crossover where inclusion and exclusion can be experienced simultaneously; it is a grey space in which individual “border dwellers” (Wood, 2016, p.492) may concurrently exist as the un/accepted. Migrants frequently find themselves in a space of liminal legality, described by Menijvar (2006) as the “gray area between legal categories” (p.1000). For spouse visa holders, the conditions they must fulfil before their temporary legal status is transformed into permanent residency creates an experience of liminal legality where they exist as “probationary migrant wives” (Briddick, 2019). This chapter explores the experiences of 46 women who migrated under spouse visa schemes to either Hong Kong or Melbourne, Australia and found themselves living in-between states of inclusion and exclusion. It particularly examines the emotions involved in their experiences of liminal legality and discovers that, while affective aspects of their experiences differed depending upon their personal circumstances, they were nevertheless united by their shared experience of “emotional adriftness”. Bio Dr Alexandra Ridgway completed her PhD in Sociology at The University of Hong Kong in 2020. Her thesis examined spouse visa holder's experiences of marital breakdown in Hong Kong and Melbourne, Australia and revealed how their legal status shaped their family lives both prior to, during and after divorce. Alexandra identifies primarily as a socio-legal scholar and her research interests centre upon two key themes: first, family life particularly experiences of biographical disruption and crisis; and second, migration especially how immigration law shapes social lives. Prior to beginning her doctoral program, Alexandra worked for over a decade in the community sector in Australia, specialising in family violence and working with migrant and refugee populations. She is also one of the founders of the Universitas 21 Asia Pacific Research Network of Family Migration which was established in 2017. Migrating to the Colony: Cross-Racial Emotional Intimacies in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Century British Indian Empire Sucharita Sen, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand Abstract From the nineteenth century, British women travelled to India with their officer husbands. Such women were referred to as the Memsahibs. Their duty was to recreate the British domestic life in India and ensure her husband’s homely comforts. The Memsahibs were restricted to the household which employed a retinue of servants and the Memsahibs’ role was to implement imperial hierarchies by her control over the servants. But unlike the British household, where domestic servants were predominantly female, in India, the majority of the servants were male. These men, not used to taking orders from women, blatantly disobeyed the Memsahibs. This problematised colonial relationships by challenging the superiority of the Memsahib vis-à-vis her servants, a premise on which colonial domestic arrangements were based. In such a household, the Indian ayah, employed as a Memsahib’s personal maid became the Memsahib’s companion, giving her emotional security in a migrant life. Drawing upon letters, diaries, housekeeping manuals and fictional narratives of the Memsahibs, I argue that while racial concerns and imperial hierarchies divided the Memsahib and the ayah, who belonged to two different cultural, class and racial backgrounds, their gendered affiliations forged cross-racial intimacies where emotional attachments existed in tandem with imperial power structures. Bio Sucharita Sen is a PhD student at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. Her research interests include Social and Political History, Political Thought and Gender Studies. Envy versus Guilt – Emotions and Hierarchies in Syrian Transnational Families in the Migration Regime between the Middle East and Europe Miriam Stock, University of Education, Schwäbisch Gmünd, Germany Abstract Due to the civil war, many Syrian families have become suddenly transnationalized across the Middle East and Europe. This article analyses tensions, communication barriers and aligned emotions that arise in these transnational families whose members are dispersed between Syria, Lebanon, and Germany. It will show how these emotions and (non-)narrations in families reflect different experiences of exclusions which are linked to different locations in the migration system between Europe and the Middle East. This article combines three research fields, first transnational families and the re-negotiations gender roles and social status across borders, second research on emotions in migration, particularly the interdependence between emotion and space, and third the role of emotions in migration regimes and forming migrant subjectivities. The research consists of 12 qualitative interviews with Syrians in Germany and Lebanon and notes from participant observation. Emotions such as pressure, envy, guilt, shame and nostalgia are negotiated in transnational families through different means of digital communications, exchange of photos and open concealment. These emotions first reflect experiences of exclusion in different locations; second, they point towards family members living in other geographical contexts. Finally, this paper looks closely at the impact of these emotions on changing roles in transnational families, particularly in regards to gender, social status and generation. Bio Miriam Stock is an assistant professor of cultural studies and the head of the master program “integration and interculturalism” at the University of Education in Schwäbisch Gmünd. She studied human geography at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munich and finished her PhD in 2012 about “gentrification, orientalism and distinction – Arab snack in Berlin”. Currently, she conducts research about young Syrian men and changing roles in transnational families in Germany, Lebanon and North Iraq. Additionally, she is active in the field of education and participation, and is head of an EU Erasmus Plus project “PARENTable – Communicating with parents of newly migrated children” (2019-2022) with partners in Turkey, Italy, Sweden and Germany (www.parent-able.com ).

The discussion is based on a comparative analysis of two textbooks used in lower secondary education in Denmark: A Piece of Cake and Français Formidable, an analysis which focuses on transnational and decolonial dimensions of their representations of the world. Although the two textbooks have been produced with the same publisher, their representations of the world and their narratives of colonial history are very different in many respects – apart from the obvious differences related to the different geographical areas affected by British and French colonialism. In particular, their treatment of Africa is very different. The talk discusses the possible reasons behind the two narratives of the world and world history, showing how language textbooks are cultural products that play a more or less unintended part in contemporary popular geopolitics.

At one point she cites Susan Sontag’s famous dictum, “‘In place of a hermeneutics, we need an erotics of art.’” Nelson sides with Sontag’s refusal of interpretation, suggesting that prestigious cultural texts should not be treated reverentially or abstractly, but should instead be folded back into the stream of experience. But Nelson goes further than Sontag, suggesting that ""even an erotics is too heavy."" In this essay, I consider Nelson’s efforts to keep things light in The Argonauts, an approach characterized by her reliance on personal anecdote and a glancing treatment of literary and philosophical sources (reflected in their reproduction in greyscale in the margins of her text). I trace Nelson’s attempts in the book to displace both a hermeneutics and an erotics of art with an aesthetics of notation, or observation.

People can learn the skills and attitudes of intercultural communication competence and become more or less proficient. However, when people meet other ways of living and thinking (other ‘cultures’), they often respond emotionally - and negatively - and they need to learn how to deal with these reactions. In my view they need to be taught since learning may not always take place effectively without teaching. I will discuss what this implies in terms of ‘being critical’. One consequence of my assertion that criticality or ‘critical cultural awar eness’ needs to be taught, is that teachers face ethical problems: What should they encourage their learners to do? Should they be neutral? Is it possible to be neutral? I will not answer such questions but suggest how teachers can answer for themselves.

Interculturality cannot but be ideological as soon as it is constructed as an object of research, policy and practice. The broad field of interculturality in education has rarely focused on multilingual and intercultural inquiries into its own ideologies. I argue that talking about interculturality in English (as a lingua franca) and other languages requires negotiating, problematizing and critiquing again and again the words and ideas that are attached to it in order to unearth their archeologies and (hidden) economic-political agendas (amongst others). Instead of ‘brainwashing’ students of interculturality with one or two of ideologies about interculturality (e.g. the dichotomy of essentialism vs. anti-essentialism; the ideologies of intercultural competences, intercultural citizenship, Third Space, liquid interculturality), they need to be trained to treat discourses of interculturality interculturally and multilingually – doing ‘detective’ work around the ideologies that they are fed with by focusing on e.g. the way they are constructed linguistically and their utterers.

Abstract Sociolinguistic research is often concerned with the study of relatively well-established and more or less tightly circumscribed social configurations such as speech communities or communities of practice. Recently, however, sociolinguists of various stripes have increasingly begun to take an interest in more ephemeral social configurations in which individuals from a variety of backgrounds come together for a limited period of time, typically to engage in some form of shared activity. In such contexts, the existence of sedimented social and linguistic norms cannot be assumed to be in place a priori but must be explored as emergent phenomena developing in situ as a joint effort of the participants, in an interplay with the wider social context. In this talk, I draw on research conducted as part of the TMC project to explore what a focus on transient social configurations, transient multilingual communities in particular, has to offer sociolinguistics as the study of social worlds through language. I shall be making the case that the notion of transience is valuable as a complexifying heuristic that may prompt sociolinguists to ask new research questions and try out familiar questions in new contexts."

In 1800 the Marquis de Sade famously linked Gothic fiction to the political violence of the revolutionary era when he called Gothic novels the “necessary fruits of the revolutionary tremors felt by the whole of Europe”. The revolutionary uprisings of the Age of Revolution shook both Europe and the West Indies in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. What part did Gothic literature play in imagining and making sense of the revolutionary events in France, Saint-Domingue and Jamaica?

Zoom-link: https://ucph-ku.zoom.us/j/64943055789 Abstract This lecture invites the audience to consider psychiatry and psychiatric debates about the human mind as unique windows into social and cultural history. Throughout the twentieth century, psychiatric discussions tended to shed light on some of the most important moments of crisis and historical rupture: in times of major social and political transformations, the ‘sciences of the human mind’ became a polygon for re-imagining and reframing old notions about human behaviour, perceptions of authority and relations between communities. Moreover, the ‘psy’ disciplines regularly served as a site for examining the core political, social and cultural issues of the modern age (such as migration, the rise of fascism, propensity to violence, decolonisation, cultural change etc.), and were considered central to resolving some of the most pressing political problems. The lecture will explore how historians can approach and interpret different conceptualisations of the human psyche, and how a close reading of psychiatric languages and assumptions about ‘pathologies’ can reveal fundamental social and political conflicts, norms and values. It will also delve into rich and complex psychiatric archives, arguing that psychiatric documents, diagnostic instruments and patient case files offer a unique methodological opportunity to combine the writing of global history with microhistorical approaches. By turning to largely underused psychiatric archives, historians can explore how major global debates about ‘human nature’ and human psyche were rooted in micro-level ethnographic research, and how they were shaped by, and in turn shaped, local lives and experiences. The lecture weaves together the history of psychiatry with studies of everyday violence, revolution, decolonisation and cross-cultural communication, demonstrating the extraordinary intellectual and methodological potentials contained in medical humanities and inter-disciplinary explorations of the human mind."

Svarstad The Global Citizen and Intercultural Learning The lecture presents our new book that appeared this summer. It is in Danish: Verdensborgeren og den interkulturelle læring [The Global Citizen and Intercultural Learning]. The book addresses teachers and teacher educators at all educational levels and in all subjects, but with an empirical focus on the teaching of English, German and French in Danish lower secondary education. The choice of the term ‘global’ is taken very seriously in the book: Learning materials as well as the teaching itself are seen as windows to the world and as contributing in various ways to the global education of students. What images of the (complex and multicultural) world are being furthered in language teaching and other subjects such as social studies, history and geography? The six central chapters deal with different dimensions of images of the world: Where are we in the world? (a national approach) Where are we in the world? (a transnational approach) What images do we meet? (a visual literacy approach) Whom do we meet? Who are we? (a Cultural Studies approach) What problems do we take up? (a citizenship education approach) Who has written this and why? (a critical media literacy approach) In the lecture, we will present some examples of intercultural learning processes – from noticing over comparing and reflecting to interacting and acting. Among the various processes we will emphasise three: The students’ development of their identities as global citizens, their development of perspective, awareness, and their training in contextualisation – locally, nationally and globally. Alba Meldialdea The Intercultural Dialogue: Art, Language & Identity On a growing concern of postsecondary institutions for preparing students to live in a globalized world, it becomes imperative to more closely examine how best to develop pedagogical practices in SLA that could contribute to common good and intercultural dialogue. To this end, I pursue an approximation to intercultural dialogue from a sociocultural perspective that could enable study abroad students in Pamplona to sense and grow within their social situation of development while improving their language proficiency. Giving the dynamic interrelation between language and culture, I propose to use an art-based approach where art can be developed as a means of: (1) Reception and interpretation of cultural artifacts, (2) Articulation and creation of thought, and (3) Origination of intercultural bonds. Therefore, the aim of my research project is to find complementary ways of thought and expression that could enable study abroad students to project their inner-voice when confronting cultural differences in a foreign country. By blurring the boundaries between language and culture through art practices, the student might grow its intercultural sensibility, what I believe could contribute enhancing self-concept clarity. Stephanie Löbl Intercultural awareness in the French as a Foreign Language classroom To what extent is intercultural awareness a part of the practices of French teachers? And are they vocal about and/or explicitly aware of their own representation/expression? I will present data from 6 interviews and classroom observations with French teachers from all over Denmark. During the interviews we have discussed the notion of culture and intercultural competence and how they implement/use/present it in their teaching. I analyse their cultural perspective and understanding of the intercultural (communicative) competence. Most of the teachers chose to invite me into a class in which they had specific focus on culture whereas few explicitly told me it was cultureless. I will include examples from my textbook analysis when relevant. I might also present data collected via a questionnaire with 91 participants as a supplement. Karoline Søgaard Developing young learners’ intercultural competence using picture books – the attitudinal dimension in lower-primary English teaching The ability to engage in intercultural encounters is a central competence in our increasingly diverse societies, globally and locally. Intercultural competence is a central aim of teaching English in the Danish primary school according to the National Curriculum. However, research shows that this dimension of English as a subject is underdeveloped, especially in relation to young learners. The presentation will introduce a project whose aim it is to research how the teaching of English in lower-primary education can support the development of students’ intercultural competence through a picturebook-based approach. The presentation will focus on the attitudinal dimension of IC which is considered central within the field of intercultural pedagogy for young learners by earlier research, and tentatively suggest how carefully selected picture books might support the development of said dimension."

Abstract This talk presents a corpus-linguistic study of patterns of language use in a British corpus of blog posts about life with depression. In studying, applying corpus-analytical methods, first-hand narratives about living with and managing depression, this talk aims to 1) shed light on how people who suffer from depression linguistically encode and conceptualize the illness and their management of the illness and 2) identify patterns of language use within the genre of blogging about mental health topics. Thus, this study is a contribution to not only corpus linguistics and mental health studies, but also Internet linguistics, cognitive linguistics and register/genre studies."

Gymnasieelever og kursister med tysk, deres lærere og andre interesserede er inviteret inden for på tyskfaget den 12/3.";" Kom og mød de tyskstuderende og underviserne og vær med i undervisningen på uddannelsens første del. Hør om fagets opbygning, hverdagen som tyskstuderende, om studieophold i Tyskland, Østrig og Schweiz samt om jobmuligheder. Hvorfor tysk? I en stadig mere globaliseret verden er solide sprogkompetencer vigtige, ikke kun inden for engelsk, men også inden for de europæiske hovedsprog. Med gode sprogkompetencer kan vi bedre forstå og kommunikere med omverdenen; med sprog åbner vi så at sige et vindue mod verden og får adgang til viden. Sprog og kultur er uløseligt forbundne, og med en uddannelse i tysk vil du få et grundigt kendskab til tysk kultur, litteratur og samfund og blive god til at tale, læse, forstå og skrive tysk. Du lærer også at oversætte mellem dansk og tysk. Danmark er historisk tæt forbundet med Tyskland, vi er begyndt at bruge Berlin som vores egen metropol, og bevægelsen over grænserne mellem landene er stor, ikke mindst fordi vores nabo også er vores vigtigste samhandelspartner. Tysk er EU’s største modersmål, og det er udbredt som fremmedsprog over det meste af Europa. Med tyskstudiet bliver du specialist i tysk historie, litteratur og sprog og får samtidig et bredt spektrum af jobmuligheder. Danske virksomheder og institutioner har brug for ansatte, der behersker tysk på højt niveau og har interkulturelle kompetencer, da tysk bruges i handel, marketing og kommunikation. Med en cand.mag.eller cand.ling.merc. i tysk har man mulighed for ansættelse både i den private og offentlige sektor, inden for fx undervisning, administration og formidling. Det er gratis at deltage, men tilmelding er nødvendig. Send en mail til fagleder Anna Sandberg senest den 1/3. Skriv hvor mange personer der deltager, og hvor I kommer fra (gymnasium/VUC).

The conceptual and critical gains of postcolonial thought have been hard won since the emergence of the field in the 1980s. Yet these days the wisdom and impact of the postcolonial are often forgotten or disparaged as new paradigms are asserted instead (e.g. ‘the decolonial’, ‘world-literature’). Such perceptions threaten to unmoor the present from postcolonialism’s vital modes of critique, and at a moment when its tools seem especially needed. This presentation confronts and contests the crisis of memory concerning postcolonial thought, and challenges the worrying fading from view of its critical resources at this crucial time.’"

Time is fundamental to the construction of narrative. There can be no narration without the passage of time, either as narrated time (the time of happening) or narrative time (the time of narrating). While the study of time in narrative has been central to the field of narratology for decades, to date we have very few examples of the large-scale study of time in narrative. In my talk, I will outline a preliminary sketch of various approaches to the computational study of time to better understand how different cultures or epochs have imagined the experience of time within narrative. Before we move to insights about time’s role within the practice of narration, we need a clearer understanding of what we mean by “time” and how it might be modeled. This talk is about exploring possible models of narrated/narrative time. Bio Andrew Piper is Professor and William Dawson Scholar in the Department of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures at McGill University. He is the director of .txtLAB, a laboratory for cultural analytics, as well as author most recently of Enumerations: Data and Literary Study (Chicago 2018). Piper’s work focuses on applying the tools and techniques of data science to the study of literature and culture, with particular emphasis on questions of cultural equality. He has on-going projects that address questions of cultural capital, academic publishing and power, and the visibility of knowledge.

Texts are not immaterial, fluid things that can move from one format to another without losing their identity – without becoming something else.";"Over the past decades, research into the materiality of texts has shown that readers interpret and respond to more than just the words on the page. The intellectual content of a text cannot be separated from its embodiment in a particular ‘format,’ whether this may be a book, broadside, or digital space. Texts are not immaterial, fluid things that can move from one format to another without losing their identity; without becoming something else. This symposium will explore the complex relationship between text and format. Formats are never just containers of content, and a text’s embodiment in print or as digital image may rival its narrative in both diversity and creativity. This invites a series of essential research questions. What kind of friction occurs when texts travel between formats; when they move from period to period in different covers, onto other pages, onto new screens? Can format be a generative space – for genres, for specific ideas – and can those genres and ideas then be transferred to other formats? What do literary texts lose, and gain, from transient formats? How do modern formats shape our engagement with literature of the past? Talks could touch on the following themes (but are not limited to them): Formats vs. media Formats of the page, the codex, the browser, the mp3 file Scale and size; scaling up and down as texts are reprinted How texts travel between formats How literary formats generate new texts Transient texts; ephemera Literary periods and the ways they are bridged by literary formats Stretching, squeezing, and cutting text Mise-en-page: typesetting, stereotyping, bindings: the material formats of literature and their abstract implications Programme 15 November 12 - 13 Lunch 13 - 14 Scholarship and Its Formats: Documenting the Humanities Bonnie Mak (University of Illinois) 14 - 15 Forme / Platform / Format Whitney Trettien (University of Pennsylvania) 15 - 15:30 Coffee 15:30 - 16:30 Sizes and Formats of Icelandic Manuscript Books, ca 1200-1900 Matthew James Driscoll (University of Copenhagen) 16:30 - 17:30 What Is an Edition Now?

Abstract During his own lifetime, Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) went from being one of the world’s most widely read and respected short story writers and poets to being ignored and even despised. The young Kipling was someone that everybody read, while the elderly Kipling was, as Edmund Wilson called his essay from 1941, ‘The Kipling That Nobody Read’. The Danish scholar C. A. Bodelsen stated that unlike the late Kipling, the young Kipling wrote ‘almost completely ‘straight’ stories’. This dissertation investigates the question: What narrative strategies did Kipling employ in his early stories? Were Kipling’s early stories really so ‘straight’? How different is ‘the Kipling that everybody read’ from ‘the Kipling that nobody read’? The dissertation presents close readings of some early short stories by Kipling and, in order of comparison, a few of Kipling’s late short stories are discussed. The approach is eclectic; the close readings are done with the care of a New Critic, but also employ some of the insights into voices and discourse provided by Mikhail Bakhtin. The dissertation finds that Kipling’s early stories are not so ‘straight’ as they may appear. Kipling employs narrative strategies that both participate in and undermine a colonialist discourse. The early stories are deliberately ‘artless’, and many of the narrative strategies found in Kipling’s late stories can also be found in the early stories. Kipling’s early stories contain many different voices, often 'double-voiced' discourse, and numerous literary allusions are crucial parts of Kipling’s narrative strategies. Resumé Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) gik fra at være regnet for et litterært geni af sine samtidige til glemt, ja foragtet. Den unge Kipling var en, som alle læste, mens den ældre Kipling var, som Edmund Wilson kaldte sit essay fra 1941, “The Kipling That Nobody Read”. C. A. Bodelsen hævdede, at den unge Kipling skrev næsten udelukkende ’enkle’ historier. Denne afhandling undersøger spørgsmålet: Hvilke narrative strategier brugte Kipling i sine tidlige noveller? Hvor stor forskel er der på ’den Kipling, alle læste’ og ’den Kipling, ingen læste’? Afhandlingen består af nærlæsninger af nogle af Kiplings tidlige noveller og endelig bliver fire af Kiplings sene noveller kort analyseret. Den anvendte metode er eklektisk; nærlæsninger følger den nykritiske tradition, men drager også nytte af Mikhail Bakhtins begreber om stemmer og diskurs. Afhandlingen konkluderer, at Kiplings tidlige noveller ikke er så enkle, som de umiddelbart kan synes. Kipling benytter narrative strategier, som både tager del i og underminerer en kolonialistisk diskurs. De tidlige noveller er bevidst ukunstlede, og mange af de narrative strategier, man finder i Kiplings sene noveller, er også til stede i de tidlige. Kiplings tidlige noveller indeholder mange forskellige stemmer, og ofte en flerstemmig diskurs, og utallige litterære allusioner er afgørende dele af Kiplings narrative strategier.

Abstract While many studies globally demonstrate the overall advantage of bilingualism - in particular in terms of third language acquisition – these findings are not repeated in Danish schools where bilingualism is often considered a disadvantage. However, third language acquisition has never been studied in the Danish context. Thus, this study investigated plurilingual students’ English proficiency skills (their L3) relative to their monolingual peers’ English proficiency skills in the context of Denmark. The participants were ninth graders from nine different schools in the greater Copenhagen area. The initial results revealed that the monolinguals outperformed the plurilinguals on their general English proficiency skills with huge differences within the plurilingual group. Subsequently, a qualitative investigation was carried out in order to understand these results; here the findings suggest that a multi-dimensional approach is called for, including the students’ response to language teaching practices.

Recent years have seen growing attention to the theme of “digital modern languages,” a diffuse concept which potentially involves a range of roles and sub-fields within modern languages, and which connects with the equally diffuse, and highly practice-driven, field of the digital humanities. “Modern languages” (ML) and “digital” are two terms which have not always sat comfortably side by side, and there is still a level of epistemic unease in the relationship between the two, but in recent years, some have argued that both fields have much to gain from stronger mutual interaction. The “digital mediations” strand on the AHRC-funded “Language Acts & Worldmaking” project studies these interactions, explores the conditions for mutually enriching engagement, and analyses the role of data-driven approaches to ML education and research. In this presentation, I will explore the UX (User Experience) of Modern Languages learning in 2019. How has digital transformed the way we research, educate and learn? How could ML researchers and educators react to new developments such as DuoLingo, GoogleTranslate and ear pieces which promise to provide instant oral translation? I will also propose some, increasingly urgent, ways in which ML and DH might collaborate more closely in the future. Bio Paul Spence is a Senior Lecturer in Digital Humanities at King’s College London and has an educational background in Spanish & Spanish American Studies. In the past he has led digital research on a number of projects involving digital edition, user-generated content, innovative visualisation and digital publishing. He co-developed the multi-platform publishing framework xMod (now Kiln), which has been used in over 50 projects. His research currently focuses on digitally mediated knowledge creation, global perspectives on digital scholarship and interactions between modern languages and digital culture. He leads the “Digital Mediations” strand on the AHRC-funded Language Acts and Worldmaking project. Digital Humanities Digital technologies are transforming teaching and research in the humanities. The Department of English, Germanic and Romance Studies is hosting four talks by international experts in the field.

La utopía es por tanto un concepto nacido en Europa pero cuya semilla es América, es decir es el primer término global e híbrido de un mundo que cada vez habría de ser más global e híbrido. Los últimos quinientos años nos han dejado numerosos testimonios de una relación incesante entre la utopía y América: desde el deseo europeo por alcanzar el paraíso cristiano hasta la búsqueda del paraíso primitivo destruido con la conquista, el anhelo de un mundo mejor para conquistadores y conquistados ha venido siendo denominador común en muchas de las manifestaciones artísticas, políticas y sociales del continente americano. Este seminario pretende ofrecer una perspectiva amplia e interdisciplinar del impacto que la utopía ha tenido en las diferentes expresiones culturales en el contexto hispánico. La idea de este seminario es la de compartir investigaciones aparentemente de diverso índole que posean un vínculo con la utopía. Los participantes podrán optar a formar parte de una publicación monográfica de Diálogos Latinoamericanos de la Universidad de Århus, coordinada por el profesor Jan Gustafsson y la investigadora Elena Ansótegui (Universidad Copenhague) y la redacción de dicha revista. Los aportes deberán situarse principalmente en: el análisis de las manifestaciones utópicas en la cultura de América Latina a través de la historia (vg. las misiones jesuíticas, pueblo-hospital de Vasco de Quiroga, …) resistencias, tomas de conciencia y rebeliones de diferentes agentes subalternos(vg. Guamán Poma de Ayala, Tupac Amaru, revolución cubana, sandinismo, …) conceptos emergentes como la interculturalidad, decolonialidad, Sumak Kawsay o problemáticas vigentes como el medio ambiente, género, narcotráfico y su contextualización histórica de la época prehispánica y/o la época colonial. Las contribuciones deberán tratar de buscar puntos de encuentro, discusión y problematización a partir de una mirada transdisciplinaria, pues queremos estudiar la utopía desde distintas perspectivas epistémicas. El seminario se encuentra abierto a investigadores, doctorandos y alumnos de máster. Se aceptan contribuciones para comunicaciones de alrededor de 20 minutos de exposición. Los interesados en presentar una propuesta deberán mandar un título y un breve resumen de entre cinco y diez líneas a los siguientes correos: Jan Gustafsson Elena Ansótegui Las contribuciones deberán reunir las siguientes características: Ser inéditas Estar escritas en español, portugués o inglés Deberán ir acompañadas de nombre y adscripción institucional del autor/a, datos curriculares (máximo 3 líneas), título, correo electrónico y resumen.

The First World War was an industrialized mass war. The longer it lasted, the more it changed the societies that waged him, and the faster it devalued the knowledge of politicians. How should one end it? Masterfully and with an eye for the global context, Jörn Leonhard tells the story of how the world struggled, between 1918 and 1923, to create a new and peaceful world order and what this process meant for the further course of the 20th century. The high expectations, contradictory promises, overwhelming and pressing challenges and the various strategies of greater and smaller powers all played a part in the overburdened peace that came out of the Paris conference in 1919. Whether it was the carving up of old imperial lands, the internationalization of colonial practices, the creation of new states and new minorities, or the promises of lasting security arrangements and future disarmament: The way in which the war came to an end, created disappointments and conflicts that were to shape the 20th century profoundly.

Hvad er Europas fremtid? I en tid af konstant forandring og store samfundsmæssige udfordringer er det kommende Europa-parlamentsvalg den 26. maj vigtigere end nogensinde før. Stik imod tænkningen i halvfemserne har den europæiske og globale fortætning ikke svækket tilknytningen til nationalstaterne, men styrket den. Den voksende bestanddel af nationalistiske partier, personificeret af Italiens indenrigsminister, Matteo Salvini, kalder på mindre EU, mens Frankrigs præsident, Emmanuel Macron, agiterer for mere EU. Spørgsmålet er dog ikke alene, hvorvidt Europas befolkninger fortsat ønsker europæisk integration, men også hvilken form for integration, de ønsker. Med afsæt i både et overbliksgivende europæisk perspektiv og en bred vifte af nationale europæiske kontekster lægger Institut for Engelsk, Germansk og Romansk (ENGEROM) rammer til oplysning og debat om valget og dets mulige implikationer for fremtidens Europa.

Abstract The thesis addresses practices of the state in Rwanda, and the experiences and reactions of those subjected to these practices. The Rwandan state has a long history of ordering and exercising intense control over its people. The most atrocious example played out from April to July in 1994 when the erstwhile government initiated a genocide attempting eradicate a whole part of the population. Since the Rwanda Patriotic Front (RPF) overthrew this government the party has remained in power and RPF to a large extent continues the tradition of reaching into and practicing regulation over some of the most intimate aspects of life in Rwanda. The thesis pays special attention to the instability of the surfaces of the state and those subjected to its rule. It analyzes how the state’s many transgressions set in motion a multiplication of violence across social spheres, making it difficult to assess when, whether and how the state is present. The continuous changes in political agendas moreover work to effect routinized uncertainty about what the state actually wants from its subjects. Politics of Patience refers to the precarious political, social and economic situation in Rwanda that produce patient political subjectivities, and in turn to the politics effected by those subjectivities. The study is based on fieldwork as well as what I term failed fieldwork about the rehabilitation center for ‘delinquent’ male youth on Iwawa Island in Lake Kivu, amounting to 13 months. Based on fieldwork where I could do little to influence the process and which ended in deportation, I read my fragmented empirical material on different political practices together by emphasizing the examples in which state violence spills over beyond the state’s utility. Related to this form of violence, I draw on my autoethnographic experiences with sexually harassing state representatives and read them together with other forms of empirical material to highlight the ways in which local representatives of sovereignty influence the state’s agendas, even when they have little to no way to push back against directives from a centralized and omnipresent state. In a context marked by unpredictability, the thesis examines practices of patience, acceptance and compliance among those exposed to the state’s power. This focus is partly motivated by Saba Mahmood’s argument that these are understudied and undertheorized aspects of how people relate to power both in- and outside of Rwanda. The thesis analyzes acceptance in the context of understanding negative emotions as destructive and devastating to survival of extreme hardships. It moreover analyzes descriptions of a patient and compliant attitude as a response to a sense that the authorities were trying to trick my respondents into making themselves arrestable. Drawing on poststructuralist approaches to subjectivity, I characterize fragmented and shifting subjectivities whose agency does not rest in an undominated core, but in the exercise of control over the narrative they tell themselves or others. That is, even though practices of compliance may at times exhibit contradictions or a commitment to subordination, agency is retained in the continued capacity for narration. And with it, the capacity to change the story should circumstances change. Resumé Afhandlingen omhandler statens praksisser i Rwanda, samt oplevelserne og reaktionerne hos dem der bliver udsat for disse praksisser. Staten i Rwanda har en lang tradition for at udøve intens administration og kontrol over sit folk. Det grusomste eksempel fandt sted mellem april og juli i 1994, da den daværende regering igangsatte et folkedrab i et forsøg på at udrydde en del af befolkningen. Siden Rwandas Patriotiske Front (RPF) styrtede denne regering har partiet forblevet ved magten, og RPF fortsætter i høj grad statens praksis med at række ind i og regulere nogle af de mest intime aspekter af livet i Rwanda. Afhandlingen retter særlig opmærksomhed mod ustabiliteten i overfladerne på både staten og dem staten udøver sin magt på. Den undersøger hvordan statens mange overskridelser af grænser igangsætter en multiplikation af vold henover forskellige sociale sfærer, og gør det svært at afgøre hvornår, hvorvidt og hvordan staten er nærværende. De løbende skift i politiske agendaer skaber derudover gennemgående usikkerhed omkring hvad staten faktisk vil have fra sine undersåtter. Tålmodighedens politik refererer til den prekære politiske, sociale og økonomiske situation i Rwanda som producerer tålmodige politiske subjektiviteter, og omvendt til den politik der skabes af disse subjektiviteter. Studiet er baseret på feltarbejde, såvel som hvad jeg kalder mislykket feltarbejde, om rehabili-teringscenteret for ‘afvigende’ unge mænd placeret på øen Iwawa i Kivu-søen – i alt 13 måneder. Baseret på feltarbejde hvor jeg havde begrænset indflydelse på processen, og som endte i deportation, binder jeg mit fragmenterede empiriske materiale vedrørende forskellige politiske praksisser sammen ved at fokusere på de eksempler, hvori statens vold flyder over, udover hvad der er til brug for staten. Relateret til denne form for vold trækker jeg på mine autoetnografiske oplevelser med sexchikanerende repræsentanter for staten, og læser dem sammen med andre empiriske eksempler for at fremhæve de måder hvorpå lokale repræsentanter for suverænitet har indflydelse på statens agendaer, også når de stort set ingen mulighed har for at afslå direktiver fra en centraliseret og allestedsnærværende stat. I en kontekst præget af uforudsigelighed, undersøger afhandlingen praksisser præget af tålmodighed, accept og indvilligelse blandt de mennesker, staten udøver sin magt på. Motivationen for at lægge vægt på disse praksisser er delvist baseret på Saba Mahmood’s argument om, at de er lidet undersøgte og underteoretiserede aspekter af, hvordan mennesker forholder sig til magt både inden i og uden for Rwanda. Afhandlingen analyserer accept i en kontekst, hvor negative følelser opfattes som farlige og potentielt ødelæggende for overlevelse af ekstreme lidelser. Den analyserer ydermere beskrivelser af en tålmodig og indvilligende indstilling som en reaktion på en opfattelse af, at autoriteterne prøvede at narre mine respondenter til at gøre sig selv arresterbare. Ved at trække på poststrukturalistiske tilgange til subjektivitet, karakteriserer jeg fragmenterede og skiftende subjektiviteter, hvis agens ikke hviler i en udomineret kerne, men i udøvelsen af kontrol over det narrativ de fortæller sig selv eller andre. Det vil sige, at selvom praksisser præget af indvilligelse somme tider indeholder modsigelser eller en tilknytning til underordnelse, bevares agens i den fortsatte evne til at fortælle. Og dermed bevares evnen til at ændre historien, skulle vilkårene ændre sig.

Henimod slutningen af À la recherche du temps perdu kører hovedpersonen, Marcel, gennem Paris’ gader for at aflægge en visit hos le prince de Guermantes. Han bevæger sig igennem et område i nærheden af Champs-Élysées, som han kender fra sin barndom. Alt er så velkendt, at det er, som om friktionen forsvinder. Marcel letter fra jorden og nærmer sig ”les hauteurs silencieuses du souvenir”. Men egentlig er han nedstemt, som han kører dér, en dag lige efter Første Verdenskrig. Han har opgivet litteraturen, den giver ham ingen glæde, enten fordi han ikke er talentfuld nok, eller fordi den ikke er i stand til at formidle så meget virkelighed, som han havde håbet på. Han ved godt med sig selv, at han er en kvik fyr, men det er på en kold og steril måde. Men så træder han ud af vognen og sætter sin fod på en bestemt brosten, og alting ændrer sig. Pludselig kan han se en sammenhæng i tingene. Han får fornyet tro på, at der gives et legitimt mål for ham som forfatter og kunstner. At læse er at søge sammenhænge, søge mening, søge at forstå, om så bare dunkelt og intuitivt. Som enhver Proust-læser vil vide, så indebærer de mange tætskrevne bogsider en stor risiko for at miste fornemmelsen af sammenhæng. Som en lang rejse med bind for øjnene. Når forfatteren så til sidst tager bindet af læserens og Marcels øjne, så får man lyst til at dele det med nogen. Med dette foredrag vil jeg gerne introducere til Proust. Dermed kommer jeg til at betræde stier, som andre har trådt. Det er i Prousts tilfælde i særlig grad svært at undgå. Men jeg ønsker at formidle min læseglæde. Den euforiserende fornemmelse af sandhed og essens, der viser sig til sidst. For Prousts jeg-fortæller fornemmer jo til sidst en sammenhæng, en form for mening med livet. Men hvordan tager den sig ud? Hvorfor er den hele tiden i fare for at gå i opløsning? Det er det, jeg vil sige noget forhåbentlig meningsfuldt og sammenhængende om. Fransk Alumneforening byder i aftenens løb på kaffe, lindete, madeleines og et glas vin. Tilmelding til arrangementet skal ske senest fredag den 26/4 til franskalumne@hotmail.com.

Abstract In early America, the notion that settlers ought to receive undeveloped land for free was enormously popular among the rural poor and social reformers. Well into the 1840s, however, Congress considered the demand fiscally and economically irresponsible. Increasingly, this led proponents to cast the idea as a military matter: Land grantees would supplant troops in the efforts to take the continent over from Indian nations and rival colonial powers. In his talk, Julius examines the free land debates of the 1790s to 1850s and reconstructs the settlement experiences under the donation laws for Florida (1842) and the Oregon Territory (1850). Following the settlements’ trajectory, he shows how the settler-imperialist experiments failed and how this led the US government to abandon the practice of delegating the conquest of territory to its citizens. Julius has recently published his first major book: Settlers as Conquerors: Free Land Policy in Antebellum America (Stuttgart: Franz Steiner Verlag, 2018). All are welcome!

Du lærer også at oversætte mellem dansk og tysk. Danmark er historisk tæt forbundet med Tyskland, vi er begyndt at bruge Berlin som vores egen metropol, og bevægelsen over grænserne mellem landene er stor, ikke mindst fordi vores nabo også er vores vigtigste samhandelspartner. Tysk er EU’s største modersmål, og det er udbredt som fremmedsprog over det meste af Europa.

Subsistem, aí, zonas circum-navegadas e terras ignotas. Obras não tradicionais são rotuladas como literatura de massa, pulp fiction, literatura de banca, literatura de celebridades, escrita de blog, literatura erótica, RPG, literatura espírita, quadrinhos, literatura de autoajuda e expressões orais, como o repente, o rap e os saraus, entre outros formatos. Via de regra, ainda não são aceitas, de fato, ou até recusadas pelo campo editorial, pela crítica e pelo próprio leitor, apesar de terem pontualmente chamado a atenção do público e da academia. A discriminação se faz menos com base na própria escrita destas obras, do que a partir da condição social daquele que produz ou que consome determinadas expressões artísticas. Este VII Colóquio Internacional sobre Literatura Brasileira Contemporânea, focado nos “contrabandos literários e resistências epistêmicas”, pretende abordar algumas destas expressões literárias “desautorizadas” em relação às estratégias de criação, circulação e recepção da literatura, pensando ainda suas várias funções sociais e artísticas. Pretende-se tentar captar tanto fenômenos do campo – ou subcampo – literário brasileiro quanto estratégias no interior das obras consideradas subliterárias. O colóquio – que reune pesquisadores de diversas instituições acadêmicas da América Latina, América do Norte e Europa – é resultado dos diálogos já estabelecidos entre estudiosos de literatura brasileira contemporânea de diferentes universidades do Brasil e do exterior e marca a consolidação da cooperação entre essas instituições. As diferentes procedências dos participantes apontam, também, as diferentes perspectivas teóricas e metodológicas que estarão em debate no encontro, que abrangerão desde redefinições teóricas, necessárias para a análise de obras ainda pouco estudadas, até estudos pontuais e pioneiros sobre textos e autores específicos, incluindo ainda interpretações sobre contextos culturais e sociais. Todos os trabalhos trarão como preocupação central o fazer subliterário no Brasil contemporâneo, tendo como recorte cronológico as obras produzidas a partir de 2000.

Abstract A wave of corruption disclosure, leaks, and media exposés engulfed the Brazilian democracy in the period 2014–2018. Below the surface of an uncommonly successful investigation into high-level corruption, undercurrents of political crisis swept President Dilma Rousseff from office through impeachment proceedings. Rousseff was ousted in 2016 by members of the political elite - themselves embroiled in the scandal going by the name of Operação Lava-Jato or “Operation Car Wash” – long before she even became indicted in the corruption case. Thus, the scandal featured a curious temporality and a displacement of crisis that dragged Rousseff, her popular presidential predecessor Lula and their party with it in the undertow. The media built up a crisis of increasing complexity as the investigations became ever more widespread in an avalanche of evidence and plea bargains. This thesis analyzes the Lava-Jato scandal as a textual system, unfolding in the Brazilian mediascape and governed by a set of narrative structures. Countering the existing hesitance of media studies to draw in narrative theory, the thesis constructs a theoretical and methodological foundation to analyze intertextual narrative structures emerging in a distributed manner across a system of news texts dealing with scandal. With this, the thesis attempts to answer why the Lava-Jato scandal ended with such surprising and self-contradictory results, and how, theoretically, narrative theory can contribute to the field of scandal studies. Inspired by Frederick Jameson’s reading of Greimas, it is argued that the intertextual narratives that underpin the production of news texts on scandal constrain and co-constitute the field of political action. Thus, to understand the outcomes of the Lava-Jato scandal, it is necessary to analyze how the disequilibrium of Brazilian democracy was symbolically solved in the narratives interpreting the scandals and the impeachment. Resumé En bølge af korruptionsafsløringer ramte Brasilien i 2014-2018. I kølvandet på en usædvanligt effektiv politiundersøgelse af politisk korruption blev landets præsident, Dilma Rousseff, suget med af bølgen og afsat gennem en rigsretssag i 2016. Bag rigsretssagen stod medlemmer af den politiske elite som selv var under efterforskning i sagskomplekset kendt som Operation Bil-Vask (Operação Lava-Jato), men afsættelsen fandt sted før Rousseff blev sigtet for korruption. Både Rousseff, hendes folkekære forgænger Lula og deres parti blev trukket med af skandalens bemærkelsesværdige temporalitet og transponering af krisestemning. Mens politiundersøgelsernes net blev bredere og bredere, byggede medierne en stadigt større og mere kompleks fortælling op om korruptionen på det højeste politiske niveau. I denne afhandling afdækkes måden hvorpå Lava-Jato skandalens tekst-system udfoldede sig igennem narrative strukturer i Brasiliens medielandskab. Trods modviljen mod narrativ teori i gængse medie-teoretiske tilgange opbygges der i afhandlingen et teoretisk og metodisk grundlag til at analysere den slags intertekstuelle narrative strukturer som opstår i et distribueret tekstunivers på tværs af nyheder om skandaler. På dette fundament forsøger afhandlingen at besvare hvorfor Lava-Jato skandalen højst overraskende betød at en korrupt vicepræsident kunne overtage magten i Brasilien. Teoretisk består bidraget i at afdække hvordan skandalestudier kan integrere narrativ teori. Med afsæt i Frederick Jamesons læsning af Greimas hævdes det her at intertekstuelle narrativer i nyhederne former og begrænser de politiske handlerum. Derfor må man forstå hvordan Brasiliens demokratiske systems uligevægt forsøges løst i disse narrativer for at forstå hvordan rigsretssagen og skandalerne udviklede sig, som de gjorde.

People are forced into unlawful or socially sanctioned practices and, sometimes, are actively seeking them. The illegal practices we will focus on are not simply illicit transgressions such as criminal offense or State violence, which mostly can be understood as beyond ethical and moral acceptance. Indeed, we also aim to explore phenomena of a vast grey area between the legitimate and the illegitimate: a more or less hidden field of common day-to-day practices which might be not legal any more, or not yet legalized, legal but socially not accepted, or just deemed beyond any legal normalization due to their complexity. Our objective is to explore them culturally, not legally: How do people exposed to or engaged in these practices actually carry them out? How do they justify them? What narratives do they construct around them? On what topoi of Brazilian culture, if any, are these based? What does all this mean to their daily lives? How are these practices represented, for example in media, film and literature? What moral or ethical values are at stake?

"Developing Early Foreign Language Learning and Purilingual Education";"";"2018-05-24";"10:00";"";"17:00";"South Campus, University of Copenhagen";"International conference on early foreign language learning, bringing together Danish, Nordic/Baltic and international researchers, teacher trainers and teachers.";" Developing Early Foreign Language Learning and Plurilingual Education – Building Bridges Between Theory and Practice International conference 24 May 2018 organized by the Consortium for language and subject matter didactics in primary and lower secondary school. As in most European countries, first and second foreign languages are now also introduced earlier in Denmark and the Nordic/Baltic countries in general. Research is inconclusive of the effect of this policy, but there is a general agreement that age should not be regarded as the only significant variable, but rather, as one of a number of variables to take into consideration, and that an earlier start requires highly skilled teachers. Early language learning must be carefully planned taking the age of the learners and their linguistic resources into consideration. The international conference is interested in investigating the following questions: How can we conceptualize and further develop earlier foreign language learning and teaching, and contribute to continuing professional development within the field? How can we integrate a plurilingual perspective within the context of early foreign language learning and teaching, taking language diversity e.g. the pupils’ first languages into account? How can we in early foreign language learning build bridges between the languages taught at school? How can we build bridges between theory and practice designing teaching materials and teacher education modules? How can we take student voices into account in order to further develop the field? How can we contribute to the societal discussions on early foreign language learning and plurilingual education? The purpose of the conference is to bring together Danish, Nordic/Baltic and international researchers, teacher trainers and teachers, and to present and discuss the final results which have been achieved in the course of two recent projects: Learning Foreign Languages at an Early Age – A New Approach with Emphasis on Plurilingualism, coordinated by The Consortium for Language and Subject Matter Didactics in Primary and Lower Secondary School and financed by A.P. Møller og Hustru Chastine McKinney Møllers Fond til Almene Formaal and the Municipality of Copenhagen and the Nordplus Horizontal project Developing Early Foreign Language Learning and Teaching in the Nordic/Baltic Context. The official language of the conference is English. However, selected workshops and presentations will be held in a Scandinavian language. Conference programme See conference programme (pdf).

Evidence from Eastern Poland and Southern Denmark Lecture by Lars Behnke, Department of English, Germanic and Romance Studies, University of Copenhagen in the lecture series ""Norm, variation, language change"". Abstract Language border varieties, i.e. varieties at the periphery of their respective dialect continua, are somewhat difficult to grasp, because they frequently disguise their border character by borrowing structures and/or forms from their neighbours. The possibilities for mutual exchange seem somewhat multiplied when the contact varieties belong to closely related languages. In my presentation I want to give examples of peculiar, contact-induced uses of function words (prepositions and conjunctions) from two such border zones – one between Denmark and Germany, the other between Poland and its Eastern neighbors – and show, how they combine structure and form from both sides of the border in innovative, “hybrid” ways. By confronting the distinct and seemingly unique phenomena I wish to raise the question, if there might be a general mechanism and/or restrictions for the mixing of morphosyntactic phenomena in border varieties."

Following from the ongoing revision and discussion of the conceptual and scientific framing and guidance of research in the humanities, especially in the light of the climate crisis, new transdisciplinary approaches are applied to seemingly well-known and also new areas and texts. The seminar consists of four presentations by German and Danish researchers, followed by responses. It will introduce to new transnational and interdisciplinary research projects on ecology, sustainability, and materiality as well as initiate a discussion of the wider epistemological significance of new paradigms such as the Antropocene.
