This seminar will analyse and discuss Pierre Rosanvallon’s book “The Populist Century: History, Theory, Critique”. The seminar will focus on Rosanvallon’s analysis and understanding of populism, and on how he relates this concept to that of the people and to representation.
Cette journée d’études s’intéresse à l’œuvre du dramaturge norvégien Henrik Ibsen au prisme des humanités numériques. Auteur majeur de la percée moderne et de la dramaturgie européenne, son corpus a été abondamment joué, édité, traduit et commenté depuis presque deux siècles : il constitue de ce fait un laboratoire particulièrement riche pour les approches numériques et le traitement des grands corpus.
In the face of converging and alarming processes such as ecological turmoil, increasing energy demand and geopolitical tensions on natural resources, there is a dire need to identify and explore alternative pathways that demonstrate a resource-sensitive approach. Infrastructures that sustain basic provisioning systems, such as energy, food and mobility, are increasingly subject to and destabilised by tensions of this kind, which question their design, management and their very existence.
Several dichotomies governing contemporary debates on culture and technology— nature versus culture, human versus machine—were challenged and artistically explored in the Enlightenment period. A crucial but as yet unexplored aspect of Enlightenment thought was the concept of ‘the artificial’: lives, societies and even nature could be seen as artificial.
In the evolving landscape of archaeological research, the integration of digital tools and technologies has dramatically transformed how data is documented, analysed, structured, and shared from fieldwork through to long-term curation and reuse.
The central aim of normative political theory is to reach justified conclusions on what is morally right and wrong in the political sphere. This encompasses both broad questions about how (domestic and international) society should be organized, including the conditions of legitimacy of political institutions, and moral dimensions of more specific political issues, such as questions related to war, or distributions of social and economic goods.
The aim of the research project is to investigate what signals of diversity and DEI work organizations send to their employees, and how different groups of employees respond to such signals. The purpose of the seminar is to gather the project group and French partners to discuss research design and theoretical perspectives.
Extreme winters as ‘compound events’ of socionatural transformations (1500-1900).

Hosted by the Habitable Air Project at the University of Bergen (UiB), this conference and Ph.D. workshop focuses on climate change in times of rapid transformation in politics, economies, and everyday life in many parts of the globe.
The Eurel project aims at providing a systematic state of the art of knowledge in each country, focusing on lived religion, concerning the enlarged Europe and Canada. This is done under the form of a website (eurel-info.cnrs.fr) providing free access to accurate and up-to-date information on religion in Europe, and intended for use by the international scientific community, governmental authorities and political forces. This seminar is the annual meeting of the correspondents from the 36 countries currently involved.
The workshop aims at exploring ongoing research and teaching withing Macro Finance and Monetary Law in an informal environment.
Several sociological studies have found that inequalities that are based on meritocratic principles and equality of opportunity, i.e. the principles that the distribution of benefits, resources and rewards should be based on achievement and not on ascription, are widely accepted across modern societies. At the same time, decades of research on social classes, elites, professions, educational and economic inequalities have concluded that these principles rarely apply. Through a combination of lectures and workshops, this PhD-course will focus both on historical and on recent theoretical and empirical contributions within this field of research.
The colloquium "SHAPE in Language and Cognition" brings together an interdisciplinary and international group of experts to discuss the relationship between the visual perception of shape and language. The talks will focus on the encoding of shape across both spoken and signed languages of the world and on the factors that constrain cross-linguistic variation.
On 2–5 June 2026, IntNatLaw at the University of Oslo is hosting an intensive interdisciplinary PhD course on the legitimacy of international law in a time of uncertainty. The course will be held in Paris, France, at the Centre Universitaire de Norvège à Paris.
Seminaret tar for seg Merleau-Pontys språkfilosofi og vil særlig rette oppmerksomheten på hans kritiske bearbeidelse og videreføring av Saussure. Seminaret vil basere seg på innledning og presentasjon fra deltakerne som utgangspunkt for en nærlesning av tekstene. Det vil også være mulig å ta seminaret som PhD-kurs med en vekting på 5 sp, og det er også åpent for påmelding for studenter på bachelor og master-nivå. Gjesteforeleser i år er Benedetta Zaccarello.
The production of scientific knowledge is marked by conflicting and demanding expectations, which can significantly influence funding, recruitment, organization, and evaluation of research efforts, as well as the eventual societal impact of scientific results.
A Transnational Research Project, led by the UCD Humanities Institute (generously funded by the UCD Strategic and Major Initiative Scheme) in partnership with the universities of Tallinn, Poznań, and Trondheim.
In recent years, a number of new ways have been developed in which citizens can participate in local politics - so-called democratic innovations. Involving citizens strengthens the democratic readiness of the population, but also contributes to legitimizing the representative democratic system.
The research project and research group Stakes of Democracy (University of Oslo) researches the democracy-crisis relation by approaching crises as key moments for understanding how democracies work and proceed. We investigate what is at stake in democracy in times of crises and start from the hypothesis that Trust, Nature, and Value are key matters of concern and at the core of that which is at stake.
This project sets out to explore how techniques of governance of religion travel across a set of different legal, cultural and political contexts, and the ramifications of such travels.
This PhD- workshop offers a unique opportunity to meet colleagues from several other countries and engage in stimulating academic exchange and social gatherings. While the generally topic of the workshop is relatively open, it primarily aims at students writing their PhD in international law, EU/EEA law, and constitutional/administrative law.
Litteraturforskningen preges for tiden av flere ulike impulser. Mange av disse er tverrfaglige. Vi observerer samtidig at metodiske og teoretiske diskusjoner kommer til uttrykk på ulike måter i Norden og i Frankrike. Dette gjelder for eksempel økokritikk / écocritique, blå humaniora / humanitiés bleues. Seminar med skandinaviske og franske forskere til en første felles samtale i Paris om disse problemstillingene under overskriften: «Vårt behov for å sammenligne» («Notre besoin de comparer»).
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is set to fundamentally change the practice of archaeology. The aim of this course is to demystify AI for archaeology students and create an environment where students can develop their own ideas using AI.
Le but poursuivi par ce colloque est d’envisager en quoi les échanges culturels ont permis non seulement de bâtir des interactions de traditions juridiques, mais ont aussi jeté les fondements d’une nouvelle acception du droit public fondée sur le topos de la liberté politique.
