2025-06-25 |Lisa Regazzoni: "Skalierte Vergangenheit versus historische Phänomene? Ansätze zu einer relationalen Geschichtswissenschaft"- CAS Lunch Talk LMU Munich
Prof. Dr. Lisa Regazzoni is currently a Visiting Fellow at the Centre for Advanced Studies at LMU (CAS LMU) Munich. In her lecture, moderated by Dr. Sina Steglich, she examines a profound epistemological shift in historical thinking that began in the early modern period and continues to shape historiography today: the shift from a view of history based on visual evidence to an understanding of history as a context of events and actions shaped by invisible forces. The lecture discusses these developments with regard to a possible relational approach to historical science.

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.
