Central Europe facing risks: reinventing solidarity?

In the framework of the Night of Ideas and on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of CEFRES, the French Institute in Prague and CEFRES invite you to the online conference “Central Europe facing risks: reinventing solidarity?”

Given the environmental, safety and now health risks facing Europe, especially Central Europe, two main attitudes are clashing: national and community withdrawal on the one hand, and national and international solidarity on the other. How can we (re)invent forms of solidarity in Central Europe? What kind of historical experience can inspire public action today and outline the contours of living together? How can we answer to the challenges posed by the current pandemic to social cohesion within European nations but also to the cohesion of the European Union itself? A French historian, a Polish philosopher and a Czech journalist will share their expertise and confront their points of view on these crucial issues.

Speakers:

Opening words by Alexis Dutertre, French Ambassador in the Czech Republic.

Thomas Serrier, historian, professor at the University of Lille, co-publisher (with Etienne François) of Europa. Notre histoire, Les Arènes, Paris, 2017.

Michał Kozłowski, philosopher, associate professor at the University of Warsaw, author of Le Monde diplomatique (Polish edition).

Saša Uhlová, reporter.

Moderator: Jérôme Heurtaux, political scientist, director of CEFRES.

As part of the seminar Enjeux contemporains. Penser les crises/ Current Issues. Reflecting on Crises, organized by Maria Kokkinou (CEFRES / UK) and Jérôme Heurtaux (CEFRES):

Presentation of the seminar:

The crisis has the wind in its sails: due to the appearance and extensive spread of Covid-19 in 2020, this concept has regained worldwide attention, last observed during the financial crisis of 2009. Apart from these spectacular moments of global turmoil, we can no longer count the events or phenomena that are described as crises.

A concept inextricably linked to modernity, a “crisis” (pre)occupies our societies in all its dimensions. The polysemic uses of the term and its very topicality prompt us to revisit this concept, its different meanings and uses. This seminar course is devoted to this task. It will involve the intervention of researchers from various disciplines – political sociology, history, art history, anthropology, philosophy, etc.

What realities are qualified as “crises” and in which ways are they critical? What is a crisis and how to explain its emergence? How does a crisis unfold, what are its effects and consequences? Why do crises give rise to conflicts of interpretation over their meaning? Is the notion of crisis a central operator of our modernity and a key to understanding the challenges that contemporary societies face?
