CEFRES Research Seminar 2025–2026

CEFRES’s monthly seminar aims at fulfilling CEFRES’s mission to train PhD students and young researchers. Since Autumn 2021, CEFRES gathers in a Research Seminar all its PhD fellows and researchers opened to young researchers and to MA and PhD students of its partners, within “CEFRES Platform” and in the four Visegrad countries.

Presentations focus on the conceptual and methodological framework of each research with the inscription within one of CEFRES Research Areas. We invite participants to explain how their research sheds light on, refines and critiques one or more aspects of these topics and the way they are usually conceptualised, through their own questionings, embedded in one or several disciplines, their empirical field and the methodology they use.

Location: CEFRES Library and online
Dates: once a month, on Tuesday, 16:30–18:30
Language: English
Contact: cefres[@]cefres.cz

Dépaysements | Francophone Seminar 2025-2026

CEFRES Francophone Interdisciplinary Seminar.
“Dépaysements”: Clues and Trajectories

In keeping with the traditions of CEFRES, the interdisciplinary seminar proposes to bring together one Friday per month, researchers, doctoral students, alumni and French-speaking friends of the Center to discuss issues at the crossroads of their respective disciplines. We use the notion of dépaysement as a starting point from which to delve into issues of estrangement, adaptation, and cultural production.

Location: CEFRES library, Na Florenci 3, Prague 1
Time: one Friday a month, 10 am–12 pm
Language: French

We will consider displacement as a transport to another place, which may be spatial, temporal, social or cultural, but also as an intellectual process often conceptualised by the term estrangement, which has also been widely developed across our disciplines, from Shklovsky to Ginzburg or Balandier, for example.
