Pandemics are one of the most pressing global threats to human life and security, and they have especially serious impacts on Indigenous people throughout the world.

The Norwegian Centre for Advanced Study (CAS) funded project „Social Science Meets Biology: Indigenous People and Severe Influenza Outcomes“, to be held from August 2022 to June 2023, will bring together interdisciplinary researchers to foster conversations that integrate medical, epidemiological, and social perspectives.

The primary aims are to increase understanding of the commonalities and varieties of Indigenous experiences when faced with pandemic diseases and better appreciate the diversity of pandemic consequences faced by Indigenous vs. non-indigenous peoples. As part of this project, we welcome applications from advanced PhD students and post-PhD academics at all career stages for a short visit to Oslo during the 2022–2023 academic year.

Vortrag: Bernhard Leistle: „Zwischen Karl May und Residential Schools – Persönliche Reflexion aus Kanada“

Mittwoch, 13. Juli 2022 – 19:00 Uhr

Organsiert von der Deutsch-Kanadischen Gesellschaft (DKG)

Wo: Amerikahaus München
Karolinenplatz 3
80333 München

Eintritt frei

Anmeldung

Den Deutschen wird oft eine besonders innige Beziehung zu nordamerikanischen indigenen Gruppen zugeschrieben. Der deutsche Amerikanist Harmut Lutz hat diese Faszination mit dem Begriff der “Indianertümelei” bezeichnet. Die deutschen Vorstellungen traditioneller indigener Kultur sind häufig von Idealisierungen und vom Topos des Edlen Wilden geprägt, wie er in Karl Mays Winnetou seinen literarischen Ausdruck gefunden hat. Deutsche Fantasien über Indigene treffen allerdings auf gesellschaftliche Realitäten, die von Armut, Marginalisierung und Diskriminierung gekennzeichnet sind. Darüber hinaus finden sie statt in einem globalen Meinungsklima, in dem die Aneignung von fremden Kulturmerkmalen zunehmend auf pauschale Ablehnung stößt. Der Vortrag beschäftigt sich anhand persönlicher, anthropologischer und historischer Reflexionen mit den gegenseitigen Vorstellungen und Darstellungen von Deutschen und Indigenen im kanadischen Kontext.

Bernhard Leistle hat in Heidelberg in Kulturanthropologie promoviert und ist seit 2007 Professor an der Carleton University in Ottawa. Im Sommersemester 2022 unterrichtet er als DAAD Gastdozent an der Hochschule für Philosophie in München. Er ist in Penzberg geboren und mit Karl May aufgewachsen.

CFP: Ontario Women’s History Network Annual Conference

October 21-22, 2022 Hybrid conference: Online and in Ottawa

Deadline: July 20, 2022

Historically, war has been a profoundly gendered experience, as traditional dichotomies put women securely on the “Homefront,” as supporters, caregivers and afterward, as mourners of the dead. Much scholarship has reflected on the historical experiences both on the battlefield and the “Homefront,” and we now know that these two cannot be neatly separated. Early historiography focused on the contention that war broke down gender norms, even was liberating for women. While we are interested in continuing such discussions, we are also hopeful of expanding and diversifying them by hearing about gendered experiences of war-related activities in Ontario. How did women manage new familial tensions, take on new types of work, remember those who were lost? In particular, we seek to explore how war is now taught in schools, how war is remembered and preserved through public history institutions and through commemoration, and new insights from current academic research on these subjects.

We are welcoming scholars, students, activists and artists across wide fields of feminist and gender research and praxis to join us for the international Gender Studies conference 2022 – Feminist Matterings: Indigenous and Arctic Engagements. The conference will host 26 workshops that cover the themes of the conference in inter/transdisciplinary manner and from various perspectives.

The conference seeks to produce new feminist and Indigenous thought to reimagine future solidarities and ways of knowing. The conference calls to explore how rich transdisciplinary collaboration can help feminist research matter in the effort to build more sustainable, intelligent and humane world(s) in the Arctic and beyond. In addition to alluding to the ethico-political significance of feminist research, the keyword matterings in the conference title also refers to new materialist inspirations and the material aspects of knowledge production. In the spirit of Science and Technology Studies (STS), we wish to investigate the material aspects of epistemic practices and the complex relationship between knowledge and power.
