	The Declaration of Universal Human Rights at Seventy-Five	Mon, 07.03.2022	Seminars and Colloquia	Adam Sitze Ludger Hagedorn Martin Krygier		The Declaration of Universal Human Rights at Seventy-Five Mon, 07.03.2022 Speakers: Adam Sitze Ludger Hagedorn Martin Krygier Series: Seminars and Colloquia In December 2023, the Declaration of Universal Human Rights (UDHR) will turn seventy-five. This talk anticipates that anniversary by considering the contributions made to the UDHR by the Chinese scholar-diplomat Peng Chun Chang (1892-1957). After discussing Chang’s involvement in the drafting of the UNDR’s Article 1, and in particular its reference to “conscience,” it will ask how, if at all, Chang’s contributions might oblige us to rethink longstanding criticisms of the UDHR’s claim to universality.

	Telling History: On Creating the Polish History Museum and its Exhibitions	Mon, 21.02.2022	Seminars and Colloquia	Dariusz Stola Ludger Hagedorn Robert Kostro		Telling History: On Creating the Polish History Museum and its Exhibitions Mon, 21.02.2022 Speakers: Dariusz Stola Ludger Hagedorn Robert Kostro Series: Seminars and Colloquia “Storytelling museum” is a concept which arrived in the museum theory in the 1990s as a part of a broader phenomenon in discourse and practice called the new museology. Among the most important features of that concept was the use of new media and scenography in order to create continuity of a historical narrative. Storytelling is connected with an extensive use of electronically processed iconography and media to construct powerful simulacra appealing both to minds and emotions of visitors. That makes a history museum a powerful instrument of interpreting history and influencing audiences. Therefore, museum professionals are situated between the fields that are ascribed to history as a science and memory as a social and political phenomenon. In his talk, Robert Kostro would like to speak about intellectual and practical challenges that are connected with creating the narrative of the exhibitions in Polish History Museum. He will also place the practice of the historical museology of today in the context of different approaches to storytelling in the past. Read more

	Diktatur des Heimischen. Zur Phänomenologie einer „radikalen Politik“ in Polen	Tue, 15.02.2022	Lecture	Andrzej Gniazdowski Ludger Hagedorn		Diktatur des Heimischen. Zur Phänomenologie einer „radikalen Politik“ in Polen Tue, 15.02.2022 Speakers: Andrzej Gniazdowski Ludger Hagedorn Series: Lecture Die Politik der polnischen Regierung, die nach Ansicht vieler seit 2015 gegen Regeln der konstitutionellen Demokratie verstößt, wird häufig als ein Beispiel für den sich global durchsetzenden Populismus bzw. als „Verlockung des Autoritären“ (Applebaum 2021) interpretiert. Daneben finden sich Erklärungsmuster, welche die gegenwärtigen Tendenzen in Polen stärker lokal als Erbe einer spezifisch mittel-osteuropäischen, eher ethnisch als politisch konnotierten Idee der Nation begreifen. Als Versuch, über beide Ansätze hinauszugehen, analysierte der Vortrag von Andrzej Gniazdowski diese Tendenzen in einem sowohl historisch als auch theoretisch breiteren Kontext. Read more

	Slavic Bazaar: Performances and Instrumentalizations of the Slavic discourse 1791 - 2017	Mon, 10.01.2022	Seminars and Colloquia	Katherine Younger Ludger Hagedorn Tomáš Glanc		Slavic Bazaar: Performances and Instrumentalizations of the Slavic discourse 1791 - 2017 Mon, 10.01.2022 Speakers: Katherine Younger Ludger Hagedorn Tomáš Glanc Series: Seminars and Colloquia The ideology of Slavic unity and reciprocity has been a crucial pattern of European thought and culture since the beginning of the 19th century, and it is still relevant today. In his presentation, Tomáš Glanc will discuss the development, the teleology, and the typologies of this heterogeneous discourse. The talk will outline performative practices of “Slaventum” rich in contradictions, geopolitical phantasms and geopoetic fictions. Glanc will use examples from different disciplines such as literature, art, linguistics, but also referring to political essays, institutional history, and the history of gymnastics. Read more

	Limits and Divisions of Human Histories	Tue, 07.12.2021	Lecture	Andrzej Nowak Katherine Younger Ludger Hagedorn		Limits and Divisions of Human Histories Tue, 07.12.2021 Speakers: Andrzej Nowak Katherine Younger Ludger Hagedorn Series: Lecture The theory of history, as presented by Reinhart Koselleck (1923-2006), offers an intellectually tempting structure of three anthropological distinctions that prescribe figures of all possible histories (individual and collective): sooner or later, inside and outside, above and below. The first one signifies the span between being born and having to die, which makes every life unique and at the same time part of a particular generational experience. It could also be rendered as “old” and “new”. Uses of the second pair might be analysed as a contrast between public and private, or as a contemporary fear stemming from the contrast between “home” and “intruders”. The third pair Andrzej Nowak will try to “translate” not just in “master” and “slave” categories, but rather as “pupil” and “teacher”, or even “therapist” and “patient”. Nowak will try to read Koselleck’s structure in a perspective offered by spatial/temporal concepts of contemporary “Europe in progress” (or “Europe in crisis”), as well as in another, non-political perspective of esthetic renditions of the three above mentioned Koselleck’s abstract pairs ¬ in Andrzej Wajda’s “Birchwood” movie, the last scene of Richard Strauss’s “Rosenkavalier”, and in Philip Larkin’s poem: “An Arundel Tomb”. The question is whether love can be included into these conflicting pairs as a possible factor transcending their structures? Read more

Dr. Endre Szántó’s Photo Album From His Forced Labour Service, 1940 Mon, 29.11.2021 Speakers: András Lénárt Ludger HagedornIngo Zechner Series: Seminars and Colloquia “Millions of images taken by SS propaganda teams and a smaller number of photographs taken by victims, bystanders and liberators have survived.” This is possibly the most cited sentence on the topic of Holocaust photography, written by Sybil Milton (Images of the Holocaust, 1986). However, in the case of Hungary only hundreds of images are known, and the systematic exploration of these is yet to take place. Read more

	The Death and Rebirth of Democratic Internationalism: Controversies and Possibilities	Mon, 22.11.2021	Lecture	Claus Offe Ludger Hagedorn Micheline Ishay		The Death and Rebirth of Democratic Internationalism: Controversies and Possibilities Mon, 22.11.2021 Speakers: Claus Offe Ludger Hagedorn Micheline Ishay Series: Lecture The current nationalist wave has dampened hopes of managing an array of global challenges: economic, social, environmental, and public health emergencies, along with planning for the long-term impacts of technological innovations in fields like artificial intelligence and bioengineering. This lecture addressed how a new internationalism could reinvigorate policies promoting global governance based on universal human rights. It addressed three questions: what can we learn from past internationalist movements toward a liberal global order? How did the neoliberal order, established after the Cold War, lead to today’s chronic crises? What are possibilities for a future and robust internationalism encompassing three levels: civil society, the state, and global governance? Read more
