Wissenschaftsblog des WiZeGG

About this blog.

Here, researchers from the University of Oldenburg and guest authors write about how societies perceive and thematise themselves, how they reassure themselves of their respective present and, in doing so, project themselves into the future.

How are these self-perceptions and self-designs connected to institutions, media and techniques for shaping nature, society and subjectivity? How do they model everyday life and encourage people to behave in a certain way? How are these interventions in the given justified and legitimised, but also criticised, rejected or undermined?

These questions, whose interdisciplinary reflection is one of the central concerns of the Research Centre "Genealogy of the Present", are explored by the bloggers from different specialist perspectives and contexts of activity with a view to controversial topics such as migration, inequality, digitalisation, crime, health and ecology.

Series of lectures and workshops in the winter semester 15/16

This winter semester, WiZeGG, in collaboration with the DFG Research Training Group “Selbst-Bildungen”, is organising a series of lectures, with sessions taking place each evening from 6.00 pm to 8.00 pm in the BIS Hall at CVO University.

The workshops this winter semester are linked to the series of lectures “Genealogy of the Present”; this means that all guest speakers will give a public lecture on the first day of their visit and explore their approach in greater depth in a workshop on the second day. Whilst the lectures serve as a general introduction to research topics and perspectives, the workshops centre on concrete methodologies. Here, methodological questions relating to the respective subjects are discussed, joint conceptual work is carried out, and participants engage with source material (images, photographs, documents, videos).

The workshops are primarily aimed at staff and members of the centre, as well as participants in the WiZeGG Colloquium.

The programme for the series of lectures:
