Workshop: Fall of the Wall, Twenty Years After

Thursday, October 29, 2009 | 4:00 - 8:00pm | UNC Institute for the Arts and Humanities, Hyde Hall
Twenty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, this workshop explores causes and consequences of this truly historical moment by looking at the revolutionary process itself and its cultural manifestations. The night of November 9th, 1989, was one of disbelief in the media images, exuberant joy, great expectations and some subdued fears of what was to come after 40 years of geopolitical certainties. “Now grows together what belongs together” was Willy Brandt’s dictum. What seemed only natural to most Germans didn’t seem so to most of their neighbors. The German Question that had appeared solved was suddenly on the table again, and it had to be settled in a wider context of further European integration. The fall of the wall was the symbolic and real culmination of an Eastern European rebellion against Soviet hegemony that had repercussions for Europe as a whole. It marked an end of the East West conflict and beginning of the political and economic transformation of the former East bloc.

This workshop looks at the wider societal implications of these revolutionary events from the perspectives of various disciplines. Panel presentations focus on the revolutionary transformation itself, on how these developments have been reflected in literature and even gave rise to a new genre – the “Wenderoman”, as well as on the nexus between democracy and revolution in Eastern Europe. A roundtable will look at the consequences of unification from a literary, historical and political science angle, and bring together participants with personal experiences from East and West Germany, as well as the US, to assess how much the two parts have grown together, how far apart they still stand, and whether this reflects a wider East-West European experience.

For details, please visit http://www.unc.edu/ncgs/nextworkshop.html. View the publicity flyer: www.unc.edu/ncgs/main/flyer/mauerfall.pdf. Email Philipp Stelzel to register: stelzel@email.unc.edu.

Calls for Proposals

Is There a Model of European Governance? A Comparative Perspective

March 18-20, 2010 | Jean Monnet Building, European Commission, Luxembourg
The International Political Science Association (IPSA) is proud to co-host its latest international conference with the newly formed Luxembourg Political Science Association (Luxpol) and the European Governance Program at the University of Luxembourg.

European integration has led to the ongoing building of an original model of governance that needs to be assessed and compared with other regional integrations; the impact of European integration on member states and neighboring countries (regarding public policies, law-making processes, political institutions and actors in general) calls for comparative research; triggered by or independent from European integration, new forms of governance (including political participation, delegation, decision-making, evaluation) that emerged in European countries also need to be studied; finally, the building of an original European model of governance may call into question theoretical and methodological approaches usually adopted in political science research.

A total of fifteen panels will be organized in English and French around the general theme of the conference. Each panel will consist of a maximum of six panelists, in addition to two co-Chairs, from different universities or institutions, who will also act as rapporteurs.

For more information, please visit http://www.luxembourg2010.org/

Deadline: November 15, 2009

Carolina Conference on Romance Literatures - From Border Building to Border Hopping: The Shifting Nature of the Text

March 25-27, 2010 | UNC Chapel Hill
Artistic production carries with it an inherent quality of crossing borders, given that the artist must cross from a public face to an insular, creative self at each moment of creation. This conference is dedicated to analyzing the various aspects of borders as seen in artistic creation - authors and characters crossing geographic borders, sexual and gender boundaries; transgressing the norms allowed by a given political regime; bending or breaking traditional boundaries of genre and medium; rejecting the High Culture / Low Culture dichotomy; the dispersion of texts themselves across boundaries geographic, political, temporal and more.

At the same time, presenters may consider the parallel and opposing phenomenon of Border Building – including the role of artistic production in nation-building and in the construction of borders of identity, as well as the (re)definition of academic disciplines – and how such construction is carried out by artists and academics.

Keynote speakers for the 2010 Carolina Conference are Réda Bensmaïa (Professor of French Studies and Comparative Literature), Teresa Fiore (Professor of Italian Studies) and José Manuel Prieto (Novelist, Professor of Spanish-American Literature). There will also be an Invited Reading by author Manuel Muñoz.

Internships

DAAD Bundestag Internship

EMGIP (Émigré Memorial German Internship Program) offers internship opportunities for U.S. and Canadian students in the German parliament, the Bundestag. The internships are 2 months long in positions matching the student’s interest and experience. Interns will be placed within the Verwaltung, preferably with a Sekretariat working for their preferred Ausschuss. Aside from contributing to the respective offices, interns have the opportunity to study legislative and administrative procedures in the German parliament.

Program Objectives:
DAAD programs are helping to create good will and professional relationships that will help build a solid basis for relations between Germany and North America. EMGIP Internships were founded in 1965 by Professors Louise Holborn and George Romoser with the assistance of many scholars of German affairs, especially in the social sciences and contemporary history, and with the financial and planning aid of various German offices also interested in encouraging the development of future generations of German experts. In view of the contributions of German émigrés, the experiential program was named Émigré Memorial German Internship Program.

Language Skills:
Intermediate German skills and above (oral and written) are required as well as the appropriate professional vocabulary. Applicants must submit the DAAD language certificate.

Conference: National European Debates and the 2009 European Parliament Elections - Lessons Learned for the Future

October 15-16, 2009 | European Academy Otzenhausen | Saarland, Germany
While a vast literature has grown up surrounding European elections, surprisingly little attention has been paid to the framing of issues surrounding the project of European integration itself during EP election campaigns. In particular, the dominance of the "second order" model in studies of EP elections, while illuminating underlying questions of partisan competition, has nonetheless also tended to obscure the extent to which such elections offer singularly privileged occasions for observing the patterns of national European discourses seeking both to contest and to legitimate the wider project of European integration. Addressing this gap, the present workshop brings together leading experts on a representative sample of EU member states to examine this year’s EP election campaign. Each national paper will survey the "European discourses" deployed by both "mainstream" and "Eurosceptic" parties during the campaign, as well as situating immediate events relative to the longer-term evolution of national European debates. This, in turn, will permit a broader, comparative "‘mapping" exercise – seeking to delimit both the geographical and ideological contours of differing representations (and contestations) of European integration.

If you are interested in attending, please contact Dr. Elizabeth Schmitt at the Academy (schmitt@eao-otzenhausen.de). The conference fee, including overnight accommodation at the Academy on the night of October 15, is €70 (full rate) or €30 (student rate).

Questions about the academic program may be directed to either of the conference organisers, Prof. Robert Harmsen (robert.harmsen@uni.lu) or Prof. Joachim Schild (schild@uni-trier.de). See the conference program here (PDF).

THESEUS Award for Promising Research on European Integration

The THESEUS Award for Promising Research on European Integration will distinguish an excellent piece of work of a junior researcher in the field of European integration, which analyzes an ongoing challenge for the European Union and its member states.

The rewarded work will be a Ph.D. thesis or a publication in a major journal (published within the last three years from application deadline in English, French or German). Disciplines covered include especially – but not exclusively – political or social sciences. The award is endowed with 3000 €. The award winner will be involved into the activities of the THESEUS network.

For more information, please visit http://www.theseus-europa.net/.

Deadline: October 15, 2009

Lecture: Neo-Liberal China Confronts the Global Economic Crisis

Thursday, October 8, 2009 | 5:30 to 7:00pm | Room 1009, FedEx Global Education Center
China, faced with a long-term downward shift in Western consumption of its exports, seeks to replace export dependency with domestic growth. However, the neo-liberal policies adopted since the 1980s preclude such adjustment, while the Communist Party continues to side with capital and foreign investors, whose interest is to maintain low-wage disciplined labor.

The Chinese government's massive stimulus programs have thus neither increased people's consumption nor created jobs for millions of unemployed; they have only resulted in asset bubbles and more official corruption. Relatedly, the government's repression of criticisms and unrest has led to more questions of its legitimacy and the regime's stability.

Dr. Peter Kwong is professor of Asian American studies and urban affairs and planning at Hunter College, as well as professor of sociology at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. This lecture is hosted by the Carolina Asia Center.
