24. März 2020, 17 Uhr,
Deutsches Spionagemuseum, Leipziger Platz 9, 10117 Berlin
Alles Geheim? Zur
Transparenz deutscher Geheimdienste
Podiumsdiskussion,
organisiert von der Forschungsgruppe "Learning Intelligence"
Geheimdienste sind geheim – Punkt! Oder doch nicht so
ganz? Die Geheimhaltung ist in Bewegung geraten. Pressestellen wurden
eingerichtet, Mitarbeitende treten in der Öffentlichkeit auf, Akten
werden ins Archiv übergeben und Historiker*innen untersuchen
Geheimdienstgeschichte. Doch wie transparent ist der moderne
Geheimdienst? Weiß die Öffentlichkeit wirklich Bescheid, wer ihr
Geheimdienst ist und wie er arbeitet? Weltweite Skandale wie die
Snowden-Enthüllungen haben gezeigt, dass zwar immer mehr Informationen
über die geheime Arbeit der Dienste ans Licht kommen. Gleichzeitig hat
sich das öffentliche Unbehagen nicht verringert. Wie arbeiten also
deutsche Nachrichtendienste? Wo sind sie transparent und was bleibt
geheim? Dieser Frage gehen Experten aus Politik, Nachrichtendienst,
Wissenschaft und der Zivilgesellschaft nach.
Auf dem Podium zu
Gast sein werden: Uli Grötsch (SPD, MdB), Martin Heinemann
(Pressesprecher BND), Anna Biselli (netzpolitik.org) und Sinan Selen
(Vize-Präsident Verfassungsschutz).
Moderation: Sophia
Hoffmann (ZMO)

Women's
Translocal Peacebuilding: Family, Neighbourhood, State, and International
Organisations in Southern Kyrgyzstan
Lecture by Aksana Ismailbekova
(ZMO) as part of the lecture series "Central Eurasian Studies and Translocality: A
Debate Unfolding"
There has been a significant amount of research on
peacebuilding in Central Asia in general and in Kyrgyzstan in particular.
This has helped us understand social and political processes in the
republic itself while it also contributed towards a better general
understanding of the shortcomings of the liberal peacebuilding framework.
However, this work has, with rare exceptions, focused largely on male
peacebuilding, both at the state and international levels. Aksana
Ismailbekova offers a corrective to that trend, illuminating the role of
women peacebuilders in the post-conflict city of Osh. Based on
ethnographic research conducted in 2016, she argues that women have an
important informal role in peacebuilding, which has been missed in
existing accounts...

Kashmir
as a Borderland: The Politics of Space and Belonging across the Line of
Control
Book
presentation by Antía Mato Bouzas (ZMO)
ZMO's summer colloquium 2020 will be all about book
presentations. Between March and July, a number of colleagues will
present their latest monographs to the public.
At the first presentation, Antía Mato Bouzas will introduce her
book on Kashmir that has been published in August 2019. The book
examines the Kashmir dispute from both sides of the Line of Control (LoC)
and within the theoretical frame of border studies. It draws on the
experiences of those living in these territories such as divided
families, traders, cultural and social activists. Kashmir is a
borderland, that is, a context for spatial transformations, where the
resulting interactions can be read as a process of 'becoming' rather than
of 'being'. The analysis of this borderland shows how the conflict is
manifested in territory, in specific locations with a geopolitical
meaning, evidencing the discrepancy between 'representation' and the
'living'. Bouzas puts forward the concept of belonging as a useful
category for investigating more inclusive political spaces.

The
Socialist Project in the Soviet and Post-Soviet South: Materiality and
Translocality in Central Asia and the Caucasus
Lecture by Stefan Kirmse & David
Leupold (both ZMO) as part of the lecture series "Central Eurasian Studies and Translocality: A
Debate Unfolding"
This double lecture addresses the materiality and
translocality of everyday life in the Soviet and post-Soviet south,
paying particular attention to Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and
Ukraine. Exploring the link between nationalism and internationalism in
the Soviet Union of the 1960s and 1970s, it first tracks regional, transregional
and global connectivity and transfer in youth activism. The second part
of the lecture then turns to the realm of the material to explore the
emancipatory potential of late-Soviet urbanity as physical remainders of
a ‘failed past’ and signifiers of an ‘unfinished future’...
