17-23/09/2018 - Θερινό Σχολείο | Rethinking the Culture of Tolerance (Ιταλία)

The fifth edition of the School will take place at the University of Milan-Bicocca in September 2018. The 2018 edition of the School will be focused on the manifold question of collective identities and nationalism, seen both as producing forms of solidarity based on group identification but also as legitimizing violence through dynamics of inclusion/exclusion.

The School will explore issues of reconciliation and of dealing-with-the-past, drawing on the experience of post-WWII Europe and focusing on the political, social, juridical and psychological consequences of recent conflicts, particularly in reference to the legacy of the Yugoslav wars (1991-1999) and the current situation in the Middle East. Special attention will be devoted to the question of ‘perpetrators’ and the public acknowledgement of their criminal, political and moral responsibility as a crucial factor for the substantial reconciliation of societies that experienced violent conflicts. The School involves scholars coming from Italian, Bosnian-Herzegovinian and other regional and European universities, offering a platform for an intensive one-week training aimed at unpacking the multifarious and heuristic potential of the concept and practice of tolerance. Lessons and workshops will combine different teaching methodologies, and the participants will have the opportunity to deepen their knowledge about radical forms of nationalism and their dangers, but also to think up creative ways of resisting and fighting against them within the frame of an emerging European space.
