Series of lectures
As part of the series of lectures, guest academics from various disciplines are invited who have already conducted relevant research on the topic and subject area. The first series of lectures on the topic of practices of subjectivisation was held at Carl von Ossietzky University back in 2007.
With its focus, the series of lectures is tailored both to the framework topic of the Centre and to areas related to the topic. Depending on the status and progress of their own work, doctoral candidates are integrated into this series of lectures with their own presentations in order to gain initial or further lecture experience.

Practices of Subjectivation: Exclusions, Inclusions and the Question of Power
winter semester 2012/13
From the perspective of the Research Training Group, 'subjects of action' with specific social identities (as 'woman' or 'man', 'native' or 'immigrant', 'labourer' or 'employee', etc.) emerge from participation in social practices. What or who comes into question as a subject at all depends on historically changing social conditions. Moreover, the opportunities and resources to form and present oneself as a subject in different social fields are unevenly distributed.
Against this background, the series of lectures will explore the following questions, among others:
- What criteria are used in a historical-social context to determine who is recognisable as a subject?
- Which normative expectations must be fulfilled in order to be recognised as a responsible and accountable subject?
- How, with what means and techniques, are inclusive subjects formed and do they form themselves?
- What counter-strategies can excluded people use to formulate their own ability to be subjects or to respond to their exclusion with the performance of a 'counter-subjectivity'?
These questions are intended to explore the historically variable limits of subjectivisation as well as the scope for their co-creation or shifting by those included and excluded.
The programme of the lecture series and the abstracts of the speakers are available for download here.
