Politischer Kompass – Ganz nach rechts? #infoclioevent
Politischer Kompass – Ganz nach rechts?
Politischer Kompass – Ganz nach rechts? Vortragende Damir Skenderovic, Professor am Departement für Zeitgeschichte, Unifr  Dr. Stefan Rindlisbacher, Postdoktorand am Departement für Zeitgeschichte, Unifr  Natasha Wunsch, Professorin am Departement für Europastudien und Slavistik  Basil Schöni, Journalist beim Online-Magazin Republik  Moderation: Lovis Cassaris, Redaktor Unicom, Unifr Haben Sie manchmal das Gefühl, dass die Nadel Ihres politischen Kompasses verrückt spielt? Die Extreme nähern sich einander an und verschlingen Themen, die früher klar zugeordnet waren. Mit Trump oder Meloni gleitet die extreme Rechte in Richtung Rechtspopulismus, und die Anhänger neuer Bewegungen, wie beispielsweise der Post-Covid-Bewegungen, scheinen ihre Argumente dort zu finden, wo es ihnen gerade passt. Und wie sieht es in der Schweiz aus? Welche Verbindungen knüpfen diese Aktivist_innen zu ausserparlamentarischen Gruppen und etablierten Parteien? Stellt dieses Wirrwarr heute eine echte Bedrohung für eine offene und demokratische Gesellschaft dar? Organisiert von Universität Freiburg CS 11.

CfP: Decolonisation and the Promises of Development, ca. 1950-1980 #infoclioevent
CfP: Decolonisation and the Promises of Development, ca. 1950-1980
CfP: Decolonisation and the Promises of Development, ca. 1950-1980 This workshop is confirmed for 29 and 30 April 2026. It is part of the workshop series Decolonization Now: Histories, Politics, Possibilities. In recent years, scholarship on decolonisation and development has placed strong emphasis on continuities with the colonial past, often to explain the shortcomings and contradictions of postcolonial development projects. While this has yielded crucial insights into the endurance of imperial structures, it has also muted the sense of anticipation and possibility that accompanied the formal end of empire. This workshop seeks to recapture that moment of promise, exploring the tensions between the limits and possibilities of development during decolonisation. We invite historically grounded contributions that examine decolonisation and development as intertwined processes, rather than separate or sequential ones. Development was not only a policy domain or a colonial legacy, but also a vital arena in which postcolonial futures were imagined, contested, and enacted. Just as some actors embraced development as a tool of liberation and worldmaking, others challenged, subverted, or rejected it altogether, envisioning alternative paths beyond the developmentalist paradigm. We invite contributions that examine development not merely as a legacy of empire or an instrument of control, but as a site of contestation and imagination—a field in which postcolonial actors debated their ideas for the future. What does it mean to see decolonisation as development—and development as a key arena in which decolonisation itself was defined, debated, and enacted? Submissions that examine development teaching institutions, training programmes, and sites of knowledge production are especially encouraged, as they offer insight into how expertise and education shaped postcolonial developmental thought. Potential Topics - Pluralities of Development – socialist, non-aligned, indigenous, and South–South approaches to development. - Development as Worldmaking – planning, anticipation, and alternative global orders in the postcolonial moment. - Institutions of Development Education – universities, training centres, and expert networks as laboratories of postcolonial development knowledge. - State-Building and Sovereignty – development as a practice of governance and legitimacy in newly independent states. - Transnational Solidarities – exchanges and collaborations within the Third World and beyond. - Development and its Discontents – contemporary critiques, rejections, and failures of development projects. - Affective and Intellectual Histories – recovering optimism, anticipation, and forward-looking imaginaries of decolonisation. Please note that submissions must explicitly deal with both development and decolonisation, in line with the workshop theme. Format The workshop will consist of five to six individual sessions of 1h to 1.5h maximum, depending on the number of participants. Each session will be dedicated to one person’s contribution only. The sessions will be opened by a short discussion of one of the three invited senior scholars. Afterwards, all participants will discuss the contribution amongst themselves, with the author only listening and taking notes. The final part of every session will give authors the opportunity to respond to the preceding discussion or ask questions. The workshop will be closed to outside audiences. The idea is to workshop advanced work with a view to collectively publish our findings as a special issue. Prospective participants are thus requested to submit unpublished work (papers already in a review process are not allowed). Participants are expected to set enough time aside to read thoroughly other participants’ work. We invite interested candidates to send us an abstract of their proposed contribution (max. 300 words), along with a three-four sentence bio to nicolas.hafner@graduateinstitute.ch by Sunday, 18 January 2026. Submissions that do not fulfil all the requirements set out above will not be considered. Please start the file name with your last name first (e.g. Lastname_Firstname) and use “Abstract for Decolonisation and the Promises of Development” as the email subject. Reimbursement of travel and accommodation expenses related to the workshop will be considered for participants who may need it. Please state in your email whether you will need funding and for what (accommodation and/or travel).

Vernissage Quaderni di Dodis «Spalloni e bricolle»
Vernissage Quaderni di Dodis «Spalloni e bricolle» STORIA SOCIALE DEL CONTRABBANDO AL CONFINE TRA ITALIA E SVIZZERA 1861-1939 (Centro di ricerca Dodis, Berna 2025) Al confine tra Italia e Svizzera il contrabbando è stato esercitato, in passato, con un’intensità del tutto straordinaria. Le merci erano acquistate in Svizzera e introdotte illegalmente in Italia dove, a causa di tributi fiscali e monopoli, erano notevolmente più care. Gli spalloni le trasportavano nottetempo nelle bricolle, in sfiancanti camminate lungo le vie più discoste e impervie. Attingendo a una gamma di fonti particolarmente ampia, questo studio ricostruisce i meccanismi, le ricadute diplomatiche e le funzioni simboliche del contrabbando, dall’Unità d’Italia alla vigilia della Seconda guerra mondiale. Emerge come il contrabbando sia stato una risorsa per sfuggire alla miseria, ma anche una forma di resistenza all’odiato Stato centrale. La figura dello spallone si fissò nell’immaginario popolare come simbolo di coraggio e di riscatto.

Sur les traces de la prison : création, expériences et contestations #infoclioevent
Sur les traces de la prison : création, expériences et contestations
Sur les traces de la prison : création, expériences et contestations INTERVENANTES * Anouk Essyad, doctorante au département d’histoire contemporaine, Université de Fribourg * Alix Heiniger, professeure assistante au département d’histoire contemporaine, Université de Fribourg Avec la collaboration de : * Cézane Beretta, doctorante au département d’histoire contemporaine, Université de Fribourg Née au tournant des XVIIIe et XIXe siècles, la prison était conçue comme un moyen hégémonique de lutter contre la criminalité et de réprimer des individus perçus comme une menace pour la société moderne. Malgré la longévité de cette institution, elle demeure une boîte noire, dont le public ignore largement le fonctionnement et les pratiques. C’est ainsi que depuis une cinquantaine d’années des collectifs critiques de la prison ou appelant à son abolition tentent de faire connaître la réalité du quotidien carcéral. Cette conférence explorera trois moments de la prison à travers des sources lues par un·e comédien·ne. Trois corpus d’archives permettront d’entrer dans les entrailles de la prison en évoquant les idées qui ont mené à sa création ainsi que l’expérience quotidienne des détenu·es à travers leur correspondance originale. Enfin, il sera montré comment des collectifs critiques de la prison ont tenté de libérer cette parole enfermée pour remettre en cause l’ensemble du système carcéral. Cet événement fait partie d’une série de conférences autour de la privation de la liberté et est accompagné d’une collation.   Organisiert von Université de Lausanne CS 10.

Vernissage: La femme à la valise #infoclioevent
Vernissage: La femme à la valise
Vernissage: La femme à la valise Au xıxe siècle, des milliers de jeunes femmes viennent chercher du travail en ville. Si elles y trouvent effectivement des emplois, elles font aussi face à des dangers. Inspirées par le mouvement international, des femmes issues de la bourgeoisie protestante créent en 1886 l’association suisse des Amies de la jeune fille (AJF), l’une des premières associations féminines du pays. Les AJF accueillent les nouvelles arrivantes dans les gares et leur proposent protection et conseils, les aidant notamment à trouver un logement et du travail. Elles ont des objectifs moraux : elles entendent combattre la traite des jeunes femmes et la prostitution, mais elles veulent également permettre à leurs protégées de mener une vie stable. Les auteures relatent dans "La femme à la valise" - publié en allemand dans sa version originale en 2021 - l’histoire des AJF, association rebaptisée Compagna en 1999. Cette évocation d’un pan particulier de l’histoire des femmes suisses est enrichie de nombreuses illustrations. Si les domaines d’activité des AJF évoluent avec le temps, les oeuvres de Compagna qui survivent à ce jour témoignent de l’engagement social durable de l’association : de SOS Aide en gare aux hôtels pour femmes, en passant par des centres d’accueil et de consultation pour travailleuses du sexe. Cet ouvrage s'appuie sur les archives de l'association Amies des jeunes filles, fondée en 1886, que nous hébergeons dans les archives Gosteli. Organisiert von Éditions Alphil CS 10.
