International Summer School (University of Dresden)

Deadline: May 1, 2023

Call for Participation for the International Summer School “The Struggle for Attention in Public Sphere. A Perspective of Critical Phenomenology”, July 23 – 29, 2023, University of Dresden (Germany), organized by Professor Klavdia Smola, Dr. Tatiana Vaizer, and Dr. Annelie Bachmaier.

About the Summer School

In our summer school we understand the public sphere as a public space (or spaces) where socially, culturally and politically meaningful events and processes take place. But what makes them „meaningful“? And what makes them „public“? In order to produce a meaningful event or an action, do we need attract the attention of the public to this event or action? Why do we consider some events as meaningful and leave others aside as insignificant? How is attention distributed and redistributed in the public sphere and what instances are responsible for that? In what cases do we become hostages of the economics of attention and how does paying attention to some things and not paying it to others form our identity?

CFP: International Security in the Post-Pandemic Era: Threats and Opportunities

Deadline: April 10, 2023

Conference:

25-26 May 2023

Hybrid (online and in person)

Babes-Bolyai University Cluj (Romania)

The interdependence between the economic, environmental, military, political or societal sectors of security represents a core debate in social sciences. Beyond its theoretical approaches, policy-makers strive to implement optimal strategies for assuring national security. In spite of the interest for national security, the experts, sometimes, fail to foresee the ‘black swans’ that generate serious dangers to the national security. The COVID-19 pandemics was one of the ‘black swans’ that made the world to the face one of the biggest security challenges since the beginning of the 21st century. This crisis made clear how and why the security sectors are interdependent and challenged the policy-makers and experts to identify solutions for maintaining the optimal functioning of societies.
