Our goal is to deepen theoretical and empirical understandings of how states and public entities—through their actions, investments, and assets—are (re)qualified, commercialized, and marketed. We will further explore how experts or professionals contribute to structuring public-private relationships.
In an attempt to govern problems that do not have an addressee, institutions, organizations, and networks have evolved that seek to address, negotiate, and find solutions to major societal challenges.
In recent years, scholars in the humanities have recognized the important role that classical cultures play in political mythmaking. Rather than simply providing “legitimatory window-dressing” (phrasing of Roche 2018: 4), classical cultures can serve as powerful tools for catalyzing cultural consensus across social strata, legitimizing political action, and mobilizing people for political causes.
Many for-profit actors increasingly offer their services as advocates for societal causes at no or low cost—pro bono—within and across national borders.
The research group Aesthetics of Friendship (AF) explores how the conditions and significance of friendship are evolving in our time. We also investigate the concept of friendship within a wider historical framework.
The workshop gathers researchers from Norway, France, Belgium, the UK, Italy and Germany to explore the interaction between political parties and social movements, focusing on the contemporary left. It aims to bridge research gaps by integrating insights from political science and sociology.
Social science genetics -- sometimes denoted sociogenomics -- is the emerging research field that is the interface between conventional social sciences and genetics. By combining data and methods from these two fields, we obtain new insights about both how both environmental and genetic factors contribute to variation in individual outcomes and ultimately social structures.
Researchers from a wide range of disciplines are invited to a two-day workshop in Paris in May 26th and 27th 2025, to elaborate on the role of the state in bringing down greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and how to ensure that emissions scenarios and pathways reflect this knowledge.
In this workshop, we continue to develop the concept of homology through theoretical clarification, innovations, and empirical applications. The central question is whether and how the concept of homology can advance field theory and explain practices and power relations across various empirical settings, scales, and times.
The heritage of ancient Greece is commonly acclaimed as a ‘pillar’ of common European culture and identity. The complex historical processes of cultural reception and appropriation that shaped this notion are, however, still hardly understood, partly due to institutional fragmentation of the field of early modern Hellenism.
Seminaret vil tematisere det kroppligjorte synet i analysene av kunsterfaringen og særlig billedkunst med utgangspunkt i Merleau-Pontys Øyet og ånden fra 1960.
The project group will gather in Paris in May 2025 to present and discuss a range of publications in progress together with relevant French researchers studying core executive government and ministerial careers.
As the planet increasingly heats up and global urbanisation massively intensifies spatially and proportionately, there is a dire need to rethink what the city is, what it can be and how it can be conceptualised in a way that allows humanity to survive the Anthropocene and enter a post-Anthropocene future.
The symposium will bring together researchers from France, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, and the former Yugoslavia to discuss Nazi occupation in the cultural sphere. Special attention will be given to the restoration of democracy through transitional justice and professional purges after World War II.
The conference is intended to contribute to the work of the International Law Commission (ILC), which is currently addressing the topic “General principles of law”.
