2024-11-07 | Lisa Regazzoni and Lara Keuck: "Introducing TOOL: Theory-Oriented Object Laboratory"
More information here | Workshop organized by Lara Keuck and Lisa Regazzoni (Focus area: Materiality Between Past and Future) What can we learn about theories, in particular theories of history and theories of medical knowledge, when studying objects? TOOL, the Theory Oriented Object Laboratory is a new venue and collaborative project to address this question from various historiographical and theoretical perspectives and through a diversity of material objects and collections. We cordially invite all interested to join our opening workshop and learn more about TOOL and possibilities to participate in the project and engage with theories through objects. |
2024-10-19 | Lisa Regazzoni and Ewa Domańska: "Workshop Exploring Postsecularism in Contemporary Historical and Political Theory "
This Workshop organized by Lisa Regazzoni and Ewa Domańska seeks to interrogate the implications of the post-secular turn on historical theory, posing critical inquiries into the validity of a “return of religion.” How might such a resurgence be conceptualized within a historical framework? We aim to explore the conditions, causes, manifestations, and consequences of this phenomenon, posing whether it is justifiable to discuss the transition from a secular regime of knowledge to a post- secular one.

2023-09-25/29 | Die Vergangenheit erzählen. Traditionen und Entwicklungen in Deutschland und Italien/ Raccontare il passato. Tradizioni e sviluppi in Germania e Italia.
Workshop organized by Prof. Dr. Arndt Brendecke (LMU Munich),
Prof. Dr. Paola Molino (University of Padua), and Prof. Dr. Lisa Regazzoni (Bielefeld University) at Villa Vigoni (Menaggio, Italy) from September 25th to September 29th, 2023.
Italy and Germany have deep narrative traditions that are constitutive of the role of the humanities in society. These distinct traditions are currently facing significant challenges: the dominance of English, the questioning of the printed book, and a shift towards smaller and more ephemeral forms as well as non-written formats (YouTube, podcasts, etc.). This workshop addressed these challenges while deliberately placing the art of storytelling at its centre. It discussed the conditions and effects of good storytelling, as well as changes in its forms.

What practices characterize historiographical writing? How are meaningful complexes and historical significance constructed in historiographical texts and to what extent are these confirmed by evidence and existing historiographical discourses? What role do the different writing modes, such as description, “genetic-narrative” vs. “retrospective-investigative” narration or source- or plausibility-based reasoning, play in this process? How are these modes of writing connected?
The international two-day Theory Class will explore how historians approach evidence, contextualization and presentation in terms of the structure and purpose of each step in their line of argument. Against the background of this ‘dissecting’ analysis, it will be asked what basic theoretical models and ideas of “history” and “historical significance” underlie the individual approaches. Here, key historical terms (such as context, source, epoch) and practices (contextualizing, proof, presentation) will be examined with regard to their historico-theoretical prerequisites.
With impulse lectures by Donald Bloxham (University of Edinburgh) and Wulf Kansteiner (Aarhus University).Course Management: Britta Hochkirchen (Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena) and Lisa Regazzoni.

Begriffsgeschichte, Historik, politischer Totenkult, politische Ikonologie – hinter diesen bekannten Themen seines Werkes fächert sich Kosellecks Denken vielfach auf, formuliert in einer individuellen analytischen Begrifflichkeit, die intellektuelle Spielräume öffnet. Historische Zeit und ihre Paradoxien, körperlich-sinnliche Wahrnehmung als Bedingung multiperspektivischer (Konflikt-)Geschichten, das spannungsvolle Verhältnis von individueller Erfahrung und kollektiver Erinnerung sind nur einige der Aspekte, die in der internationalen kultur- und sozialhistorischen Forschung von aktuellem Interesse sind.
Die Abteilung Geschichtswissenschaft und das Zentrum für Theorien in der historischen Forschung der Universität Bielefeld nehmen den 100. Geburtstag Reinhart Kosellecks zum Anlass, um im Rahmen einer Feier aktuelle Projekte und Publikationen vorzustellen, die sich der vielfältigen intellektuellen Neugierde Kosellecks widmen, nach dem Motto: „Mit Koselleck über Koselleck hinausdenken“. Nicht nur der Geschichtstheoretiker, Begriffs- und Bildhistoriker, sondern auch der noch zu entdeckende Sammler und Karikaturist Reinhart Koselleck wird vorgestellt.
Reinhart Koselleck (1923 – 2006) gehörte nach seiner Habilitation an der Universität Heidelberg im Jahre 1965 zunächst dem Wissenschaftlichen Beirat und ab 1968 dem Gründungsausschuss der Universität Bielefeld an, während er Professuren an den Universitäten Bochum und Heidelberg bekleidete. Von 1973 bis 1988 war er Professor für Theorie der Geschichte an der geschichtswissenschaftlichen Fakultät der Universität Bielefeld, an deren Einrichtung er maßgeblichen Anteil hatte. Auch das Bielefelder Zentrum für interdisziplinäre Forschung prägte Reinhart Koselleck als geschäftsführender Direktor 1974/75 und als Mitglied des Wissenschaftlichen Beirates von 1979 bis 1990.
