The world we inhabit is characterized by conflicting and often incommensurable temporalities. Investigations of such tensions between and among various temporalities, how they interact and their specificities are now self-standing issues in contemporary social analysis. This half-day symposium aims to explore theoretical and methodological inquiries into the shifting character of social temporalities as they relate to the broader socio-economic and cultural change, including the overall dynamization of life and work. The two panels will focus on various perceptions of time, temporal tactics and ways in which diverse actors (institutions and individuals) negotiate and embody different temporal aspects of late modern social realities as well as on how social acceleration as such becomes perpetuated through various agentic strategies.
10.30: Introduction & Opening

The French Institute of Slovakia and the French Centre for Research in Social Sciences (CEFRES) invite you to a round table during which we will focus on the world of higher education and research in Slovakia, particularly in the field of humanities and social sciences, as markers of the country’s history since 1989.
Date: April 15th, 2021 at 5 pm
Location: Online on Zoom (see link below)
Languages: SK-FR with simultaneous translation
Organizers: IFS, CEFRES
Registration: Google forms
With the participation of Christophe Léonzi, French Ambassador to Slovakia.
Moderator:
Jérôme Heurtaux, Director of CEFRES
Speakers:
The world of higher education and research has undergone many changes since 1989, as has the whole of Slovakia. The most salient of these are the end of the socialist bloc, the splitting of Czechoslovakia and the entry into the European Union. How has academic research and the world of ideas been impacted by the ordeal of communism and then by the hope born of the transition to democracy? What effect did Slovakia’s European integration have on Slovak higher education and research institutions, and on the content of research, while at the same time a process of liberalization and internationalization was taking place? More recently, the academic community has been impacted by other developments such as the growth and tertiarization of the economy, globalization and demands for more rule of law. Universities and research institutes have thus been both actors and witnesses of the changes in Slovakia during the last decades and the question of their autonomy and the freedom of researchers has been raised again in the spring of 2021.
In this round table, we will focus on the world of higher education and research, particularly in the humanities and social sciences, as markers of the country’s recent history. Partner of Slovak academics since its creation in 1991, the French Centre for Research in Social Sciences (CEFRES) celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2021. This is an ideal opportunity to analyze thirty years of Slovak research and international cooperation and to consider their future.

The conference aims at fostering a collective reflection about methodologies and digital tools that could enable us to better perceive, beyond and through the manuscripts, the intellectual figures and their transcultural trajectories, the stories and their roots in cultural contexts, the networks and the collective practices they have been grounded in. Besides giving a different image of the history of ideas, such approach could also produce more intuitive narrations, enabling these materials to reach – thanks to their digital representation – a broader public and a non-scholar audience. The event will gather the major actors of the network « AITIA – Archives of International Theory, an Intercultural Approach ».
Date: December 5-6, 2024, from 9:30 a.m.
