OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Notions of emergency under democratic and dictatorial rule. Experiences from the 20th century
In this talk, Professor Stefanie Middendorf will scrutinize experiences of crisis and disorder in historical and comparative perspectives. The talk will reveal how states perceived ‘states of emergency’ which were both made visible or hidden by different political systems throughout the 20th century. It will also question whether this approach helps us to better understand liminalities of democratic and dictatorial rule. The historical cases that will be considered include Germany in the age of global wars and France after 1945, and a special focus will be on transnational experiences and the circulation of knowledge and micro-techniques of power.
