CfP: Protest bewegt! (in German only)DoktorandInnenworkshop am Wissenschaftszentrum Berlin26. und 27. März 2010 Organisiert von Nachwuchswissenschaftlern zusammen mit dem Arbeitskreis Soziale Bewegungen in der DVPW Protest bewegt in vielerlei Hinsicht. Als Ausdruck einer sozialen Bewegung wirkt in ihm die Hoffnung, dass politische Prioritäten im öffentlichen Streit neu verhandelt werden können und Gesellschaft langfristig verändert wird. Protest bringt bestehende Deutungsmuster und Symbole in Bewegung, er weicht unhinterfragte Wahrheiten auf. Protest verändert Meinungen und Institutionen, Stadträume und Medien. Aber Protest verhallt auch, wird ignoriert oder unterdrückt. Protest bringt Menschen auf der Straße zusammen, er beeinflusst Biografien, schafft Euphorie und Freude, Frustration und Abwehr. [...] Anfragen zur Teilnahme sind in Form eines abstract (max. 400 Wörter) erbeten, in dem ein zentrales Problem aus dem eigenen Promotionsprojekt erläutert wird. Zusätzlich oder alternativ dazu bitten wir um Themenvorschläge für die Workshops (in drei bis vier Sätzen), die auch die Initiative zur Vorbereitung umfassen können. Um gemeinsame Themen zu identifizieren, ist es dabei sinnvoll, die Vorschläge allgemein zu halten (z.B. „Konzeptionelle Probleme von Transnationalisierung“ oder „Interview als Erhebungsinstrument“). Anfragen zur Teilnahme müssen bis zum *15. Dezember per Email bei Simon Teune (teune@wzb.eu)* eingehen. Für Nachfragen gilt dieselbe Adresse. Der Zeitplan zur Vorbereitung des Workshops sieht wie folgt aus: 15. Dezember 2009 Abgabetermin für abstracts und Workshop-Vorschläge 15. Januar 2010 Auswahl von TeilnehmerInnen 15. März 2010 Abgabetermin für fertige Arbeitspapiere 26. und 27. März 2010 Workshop im Wissenschaftszentrum Berlin

Call for Papers: "Perspectives on a European Social, Cultural, and Protest History of the 1980s"6-8th May 2010, Bremen, Germany.On May 6th 1980, a group of new recruits was publicly sworn in with the German Bundeswehr in the Bremen soccer stadium. As a reaction, street battles of hitherto unknown dimensions between left-wing activists and (military) police took place in the area near the stadium. Since the conflicts surrounding the newly built nuclear power plant of Brokdorf a couple of years earlier, a certain "tradition" of militant mass protest had already existed. Yet with the so-called "Bremen Bundeswehr riots" for the first time protests of a comparable scale took place within a bigger city. Viewed in the following years as the beginning of the German autonomous movement, this inner city riot marked at the same time a European phenomenon. […] Thirty years have passed and this is usually the time when historians turn their attention to new fields of study. Taking the events in Bremen and other European cities as its starting point, this conference wants to explore the possibilities of a social, cultural and protest history of the 1980s. Guided by the question whether the year 1980 can be seen as a turning point, possible connections between contemporary conceptions of governance and a new protest culture shall be brought into focus. With a series of interdisciplinary, theoretically grounded, and transnationally oriented presentations we hope to start a broad debate that will contribute to a critical historiography of the 1980s. Apart from historians we explicitly want to encourage scholars of sociology, political science, geography, art history, music, and film studies to apply to this conference. The conference will be held in English. Please note that the length of each presentation must not exceed 20 minutes to allow for sufficient time for debate. Please send a short abstract (no more than 500 words) of your intended presentation together with a brief C.V. by 23 October 2009 to each of the organizers: Jan-Henrik Friedrichs: jhfriedrichs[at]web.de Hanno Balz: hanno.balz[at]uni-bremen.de Inge Marszolek: marsz[at]uni-bremen.de
