Internationalist Activism under
the Hammer and Sickle: The Czechoslovak Industrial Commune "Interhelpo" in Soviet Kyrgyzstan
Lecture by David Leupold (ZMO) as
part of the lecture series "Central Eurasian Studies and Translocality. A Debate
Unfolding"
The lecture sheds light on the
historical trajectory of Interhelpo, an
industrial cooperative from Czechoslovakia, and its role in shaping
urbanization "from below" in the early-Soviet town of Pishpek (now Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan). Founded 1914 by
Czech, Slovak, Hungarian, German internationalists and Ido-learners around the mountaineer and Bolshevik
Rudolf Pavlovič Mareček
in the Czechoslovakian town Žilina, the cooperative actively shaped
urbanization in what would become known as the capital of Soviet Kyrgyzstan.

Kashmir as a Borderland: the
Politics of Space and Belonging across the Line of Control
Book presentation by Antía Mato Bouzas (London Metropolitan University)
In her book presentation, Antía Mato Bouzas will discuss the implications of
examining the Kashmir dispute from a borderland perspective. She will
focus on how conflict is manifested in territory, and more specifically,
on the political space that the Line of Control (LoC, the provisional
border dividing these territories) has created on both sides through a
series of legal and material interventions. Ongoing transformations in
this borderland attempt to bring these territories under the state
purview and challenge the view that ‘nothing has substantially changed’
in the dispute.

Ökologie und Umweltpolitik im Nahen Osten. Konzepte und
Krisen
Podiumsdiskussion, organisiert von der Gesellschaft zur
Förderung des ZMO e.V., der Maecenata-Stiftung
und der Katholischen Akademie Berlin.
Das Thema „Schutz der Umwelt“ stellt alle Länder dieser
Welt vor neue Herausforderungen. Jüngste Vorhersagen gehen aber davon
aus, dass der Nahe Osten und Nordafrika besonders von ökologischen Krisen
und Klimawandel betroffen sein werden. Regionalwissenschaft,
Politikwissenschaft und Theologie sowie Journalismus und Praxis
haben dazu ihre eigenen Perspektiven. Wir geben ihnen Raum für die
Darstellung des jeweiligen Standpunkts und bringen die Ansätze ins
Gespräch. Auf dem Podium zu Gast: Juliane Schumacher (ZMO), PD Dr. Katrin
Bromber (ZMO), Adnan Tabatabai (CARPO) und Prof. Dr. Mira Sivers (HU
Berlin).
Die Veranstaltung wird über einen Livestream
übertragen.

Gemengelagen haben sich die modernen Nachrichtendienste entwickelt? Und
welche Rolle haben internationale Verbindungen dabei gespielt? All diese
Fragen werden von Nachrichtendienstforscherinnen und -forschern
kontrovers diskutiert. Im Gespräch mit Sophia Hoffmann können Sie
grundlegende Informationen zu den internationalen Beziehungen von
Nachrichtendiensten erfahren und mit welchen Methoden sie wissenschaftlich
untersucht werden können.

Internationalist Nation-Builders.
Soviet Youth Activism under Brezhnev
Lecture by Stefan Kirmse (ZMO) as
part of the lecture series "Central Eurasian Studies and Translocality. A Debate
Unfolding"
This talk discusses the interplay
of nationalism and internationalism in the Soviet Union after the death
of Stalin. While these two political agendas were opposites insofar as
one would later play no small role in tearing the union apart whereas the
other was supposed to hold it together, there was much that united their
language, strategies, underlying concepts, and problems. More than that:
there were mutually constitutive. One was barely imaginable, or would
have been much weaker, without the other. This talk illustrates this for
the period from the early 1960s to the early 1980s, when nationalism and
internationalism turned into mass phenomena across the USSR.
The event will be held via Zoom. Please register at registration@zmo.de

Embattled Dreamlands. The Politics
of Contesting Armenian, Turkish and Kurdish Memory
Book presentation by David Leupold
(ZMO)
Embattled Dreamlands explores the complex relationship
between competing national myths, imagined boundaries and local memories
in the threefold-contested geography referred to as Eastern Turkey,
Western Armenia or Northern Kurdistan. Spatially rooted in the shatter
zone of the post-Ottoman and post-Soviet space, it sheds light on the
multi-layered memory landscape of the Lake Van region in Southeastern Turkey, where collective violence
stretches back from the Armenian Genocide to the Kurdish conflict of
today. Based on his fieldwork in Turkey and Armenia, the author examines
how states work to construct and monopolize collective memory by
narrating, silencing, mapping and performing the past, and how these
narratives might help to contribute and resolve present-day conflicts.

Beyond the Struggle: South African
student movements during the transition to democracy (c. 1990s)
Lecture by Anne Heffernan
(Durham University) as part of the ZMO-Colloquium "Understanding Populism: State, Academia,
and Civil Society"
This paper will reflect on the
seeds of populism in democratic South African politics through the lens
of student and youth organizations in the 1990s. The paper explores how
South African student formations that were part of the anti-apartheid
struggle situated themselves during the transition to democracy (c. 1990
to 1996). It considers their orientation to the newly democratic state,
led by the ANC, and to one another. In particular, by examining the
reconstitution of the ANC Youth League in 1991, and its relationship to
both its mother party and to other affiliated student groups, the paper
suggests that we can trace some roots of the populism that became
prevalent in the early twenty-first century to these processes.

transformations. Hosting speakers from across the region, the seminar

Contested Religious Spaces – Narratives
as Evidence: de-centering and re-authenticating
pasts for the future
Organised by Abdoulaye Sounaye
(ZMO) and Heike Liebau (ZMO)
This conference brings together
different disciplinary orientations (history, anthropology, religious
studies, literary studies, heritage and museum studies) to examine claims
of authenticity and construction of religious and political identity
through competing narratives on religious and symbolic sites. It pays
particular attention to the ways in which discursive traditions in
multi-religious contexts influence constructions of the past, perceptions
of history, and social interactions, as they relate to symbolic spaces
and sites. Part of the agenda is to examine both the intersection and
interdependence of religious and historical narrations in knowledge
production, identity formation and belonging. The aim is to formulate
questions and devise methodological tools which would allow for
comparison both temporally and across regions.
The conference will be held via Zoom. Please contact the conference
organisation team to register: Laura.Koehler@zmo.de, Nico.Putz@zmo.de
