Book presentation & panel discussion Vergangenheitskonstruktionen
Book presentation & panel discussion: ‚Vergangenheitskonstruktionen. Erinnerungspolitik im Zeichen von Ambiguitätstoleranz‘ Kollektives Erinnern ist Vergangenheitsbearbeitung um einer gemeinsamen Zukunft wegen. Die aktuelle erinnerungspolitische Debatte geht davon aus, dass fragile und heterogene Gesellschaften ein Bedürfnis nach sinnstiftenden Großerzählungen haben. Im Begriff des kollektiven oder kulturellen Gedächtnisses sollen daher Wissensressourcen, Bilder und Narrative den Zusammenhalt der »geglaubten Gemeinschaft« (Max Weber) sichern. Bestehende Verunsicherungen und Ambiguitäten werden durch eine Politik der Erinnerungs- und Konsenssteuerung überbrückt. Im Gegensatz dazu zielen die Beiträge des neuen Werks, darauf, dass gegenwärtige Gesellschaften den pluralen Erinnerungsfeldern, den diversen Erinnerungsbedürfnissen und den damit einhergehenden Deutungskonflikten durch Praktiken der Ambiguitätstoleranz begegnen können.

2. Roundtable Forced Migration Studies
We cordially invite researchers from all disciplines and institutions (universities, universities of applied sciences, non-university research institutions, think tanks) as well as practitioners and experts from NGOs, associations, policy, etc. to our Second Roundtable on (Forced) Migration Studies. This roundtable will focus on research-policy relations in the context of (forced) migration. Thereby, we want to pick up on the following guiding questions (among others): What role does science play in advising policy-makers and practitioners? What challenges are there at the interface between science and policy-making? What are the corresponding experiences and challenges of experts from the field? The thematic focus is one of the results of the first roundtable, which can be accessed online. The aim is to bring together Bonn’s experts on this challenging topic and provide a platform for experience exchange and collegial advice.

Arbeitsworkshop: 'Gemeinschaft - Gemeinwohl - Gemeinsinn'
Gemeinschaft - Gemeinwohl - Gemeinsinn Gemeinschaftssemantiken fungieren häufig als Kampfbegriffe, sie markieren Bruchlinien und schließen die eigenen Reihen – und das sowohl in der in Praxis als auch der Theorie. Dabei wird aus dem Gemeinschaftskonzept zugleich ein bestimmtes Gemeinwohl abgeleitet, das wiederum mit einem (imaginierten) Gemeinsinn unterlegt ist. Die Verklammerung dieser drei Konzepte ist häufig implizit, bedarf aber einer klärenden Sortierung, besonders für die Debatte in sich immer stärker ausdifferenzierenden, pluralistischen Gesellschaften.
