Foreign Right and Foreign Judges? (poster/flyer)
International Law and Human Rights in an Era of Populism, Protectionism and Postcolonialism

Lecture by Prof. Dr. Anne Peters (Max Planck Institut / Heidelberg/ Guest at ZGW). Subsequently talk with Prof. Monika Dommann and Prof. Svenja Goltermann (both UZH/ZGW).

Basic principles of the international law like the ban of violence, human rights and free trade are currently questioned openly or tacitly undermined all over the world. The crisis of the international order raises important questions: How democratic and how fair is international law, who did benefit and what kind of influence should it have on locally based cultures?

Ideology and History of Knowledge

April 20, 2018

Workshop with Dr. Per Leo (Berlin).

Welche Einsichten eröffnet es, politische „Weltanschauungen“ als eine spezifische Form des Wissens – als politische belief systems – zu begreifen? Welche politische Pointe haben Forschungen in der Gegenwart, die Ideologien in ihrer historischen Prägekraft sichtbar machen statt sie in ideologiekritischer Absicht zu dekonstruieren? Im Gespräch mit Per Leo geht der Workshop diesen Fragen am Beispiel des weltanschaulichen Denkens im Nationalsozialismus nach. (Flyer)

Secret Cities. Material Cultures and the Representation of Knowledge

November 23, 2017

Public Lecture: Dr. Xenia Vytuleva (Guest at the ZGW / Columbia University, NY)

Introduction: Prof. Philip Ursprung (ETHZ/ZGW)
Respondent: Prof. Kenny Cupers (University of Basel)

How can we de-code secret cities? What is the urban logic of secret zones? How can material cultures contribute to the apparatus of secrecy? And finally, how do we read the powerful interlocking of secrecy, space and knowledge production? Dr. Xenia Vytuleva renders visible the phenomenon of secret cities during the Cold War, providing a close reading in philosophy of materials, extracting architectural formulas and tropes essential for the representation of strategic knowledge.

Welche Rolle spielt die Öffentlichkeit für Vernunft?

Workshop: June 14, 2017 (Program)

with Prof. Dr. Stefan Gosepath (FU Berlin)

Vernunft als Fähigkeit von Personen, sich selbst und ihre Handlungen und Überzeugungen zu begründen, erschöpft sich nicht in privaten Überlegungen. Gerade auch in der öffentlichen Argumentation, verstanden als Austausch von Gründen zwischen Personen, wenden wir unsere Fähigkeit zur Vernunft an. Öffentliche Räume, in denen dieser Austausch stattfinden kann, scheinen demnach eine wesentliche Rolle für Begründungen oder Rechtfertigungen zu spielen. In dem Workshop wollen wir uns diesem Verhältnis von Öffentlichkeit und Vernunft widmen: Inwiefern muss Vernunft in den jeweiligen Problembereichen, derer sie sich annimmt, öffentlich sein?

Organised by Silvan Moser and Romila Storjohann (Professur für Philosophie II, ETHZ)

The Emergence and Dissolution of (Medical) Knowledge

Uncertainty and Openness (Flyer)

Workshop: May 31, 2017

with ZGW Guest Professor Tobias Rees (McGill University)

Knowledge is not fixed, but unstable, uncertain and evolving. In his recent book Plastic Reason (2016), Tobias Rees anthropologically investigates brain research in twenty-first-century Paris and the ‘plasticity’ of knowledge. Based on several years of fieldwork with neuronal researchers, he argues that knowledge – like the experimental systems of the natural sciences – is ‘contingent on unarticulated conceptual presuppositions’ that differ from place to place. Scientific thinking and knowledge production is, therefore, a very regional and relational, but also unstable and inherently uncertain affair.

Heritage without Monuments: the case of Tokyo

Lecture: May 11, 2017 (Flyer)

Prof. Dr. Jordan Sand (Georgetown University, USA)

How should we understand the massive growth in concern for cultural heritage that emerged around the world in the late twentieth century? Scholarly discussion of heritage tends either to assume the intrinsic necessity of preserving the traces of the past or to argue that the desire for heritage is part of a postmodern nostalgia reflecting the devolution of politics into consumerism. Yet the politics of cultural heritage are more diverse and complex than this. This lecture will review ideas presented in Tokyo Vernacular: Common Spaces, Local Histories, Found Objects (California, 2013) and set them in broader context.

Place & Time: University of Zurich, KO2-F-153, 6.15-7.45pm

Cold War Social Sciences

Workshop: April 6, 2017 (Flyer)

with Prof. Dr. Mark Solovey (University of Toronto).
From World War II to the early 1970s, social science research expanded in dramatic and unprecedented fashion in the United States, which became the world's acknowledged leader in the field. In this workshop we discuss how the expansion of the social sciences depended on the entanglement of them with the Cold War. The Cold War Social Sciences is a two-hour workshop in which postdocs and PhD students prepare by reading selected texts that will be discussed in the workshop.

Organized by the Work Group Cold War Knowledge.
