From June the 29th to July the 1st 2015, in the Faculty for Social Sciences at the Masaryk University in Brno.
International conference, organized by the Institute for European Policy Europeum, in collaboration with the CEFRES and the help of the Visegrad fund and the “Europe for citizens Programme” of the European Union.
Objectives of the conference:
The conference aims at conceiving the historical context of the first half of 20th century from the perspective of its influence on current political discourses. National mythologies built on the events of 1918-1948 don’t lose their significance both in the individual Visegrad countries and in the context of the region as a whole. Our attempt to conceive the conference from the perspective of the entire CEE region enables us to focus on selected case studies within broader context.
Questions of national identity and citizenship are key topics for civic education throughout Europe, and the Visegrad region makes no exception. The conference provides a forum for discussion about these topics from an historical perspective. The insights into the historical events of 1918-1948 gained from the conference contributions and reflections of their role in contemporary political discourses are crucial for cultivating public discussion. The outputs of the conference may also be used as materials for civic education with an aim to support the consolidation and strengthening of democracy in the region.
The proposed conference builds on the tradition and results of the conference “My Hero, Your Enemy : Listening to Understand” which took place in Prague in 2011. In a similar way to its predecessor the conference will focus on national histories. Moreover, it will also try to build a bridge and to identify links between historical events and the contemporary identity politics in the Visegrad countries.

Tuesday, June 9th at 14:00 in Pécs (HU)
Conference by Ildikó BELLÉR-HANN
(Senior lecturer, Institute for transcultural and regional studies, Copenhagen University).
Within the frame of the PhD program for Ethnology and Cultural Anthropology of the interdisciplinary doctoral school of Pécs University’s Faculty of Humanities (PTE BTK),
of the Ethnology work committee within the regional committee of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (MTA PAB),
in collaboration with the Foundation « Maison des Sciences de l’Homme » (FMSH) in Paris and CEFRES in Prague.
Organized by the Institute of Philosophy (Department of Contemporary Continental Philosophy) of the Academy of Sciences in the Czech Republic, an international conference will deal with the French Tradition of Philosophy of Body and Life. The conference seeks to shed light on its history: from its birth in Descartes’s and Maine de Biran’s works, to its many variations in the philosophy of Bergson, Canguilhem, Ruyer, and Merleau-Ponty, and to its revival within phenomenology and its main critics, such as Deleuze, Ricoeur and Foucauld, who helped shifting the core question from body to life. Gathering several–mostly French and Czech–specialists, the conference thus aims at revealing through what path philosophy of body turned into a “tradition”, if not an obsession of French philosophy, leading to a specific questioning of sciences, ethics, power, and gender studies.
Anne-Marie Losonczy (Professor, École Pratique des Hautes Études) will give on March 2nd 2015 in Pécs, at the Regional Committee of the Hungarian Academy of Science, a conference on “Travelling rituals. New theories, new fields”.
The conference is organized by Pécs University and the regional Committee of the Hungarian Science Academy
In collaboration with the “Fondation de la Maison des Sciences de l’Homme”, Paris, and CEFRES, Prague.
