Convegno internazionale dell'Università di Milano e del Leibniz-Institut für Europäische Geschichte (IEG) in collaborazione con l'Istituto Storico Germanico di Roma e Villa Vigoni – Centro Italo-Tedesco per l'Eccellenza Europea.

In the memory of 1919, the signing of the peace treaties and the foundation of the League of Nations figure prominently. The year also saw the birth of the Third International and ushered in a turbulent post-war period of revolutions and counter-revolutions, which drastically changed the international balance of power and incubated the fascist movements that in 1922 subverted the fragile democracy in Italy. As a result, the attention of scholarly and public debate focus on post-war political, diplomatic and institutional history and on Central and Eastern Europe. The conference proposes a dual shift of perspective: thematic and geographical. On the one hand, it focuses on international relief and rehabilitation programs during and in the aftermath of war. On the other hand, the conference specifically concerns the Mediterranean area thereby shifting our attention away from the well-studied Northern European and Transatlantic region.

Convegno internazionale e interdisciplinare dell'Università Johannes Gutenberg di Magonza, sostenuto dalla Fritz Thyssen Stiftung, in collaborazione con la Sezione di Storia della musica dell'Istituto Storico Germanico di Roma e in cooperazione con la Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana e la Biblioteca Vallicelliana.

Beginning in 15th-century Italy, the polychoral musical performance practice and new compositional developments in church music required the modification of venerable churches and the integration of music spaces in new sacred buildings. This multifaceted change correlated with the rite and mass piety and enduringly affected the experience of liturgy and music.

The conference explores the complex interdependencies between architecture, acoustics, musical performance practice and rite in the interdisciplinary discourse between musicology, art and architecture history.

Conferenza annuale della Max Weber Stiftung, ideata e organizzata dall'Orient-Institut Beirut/sede di Kairo.

Neighborly relations are the most contingent relations in the triad kinship-friendship-neighborhood. For Max Weber, neighborliness is predominantly an unsentimental, economically inspired brotherliness, the neighborhood some kind of rational brotherhood in the economic sense. Yet, neighborliness is also a theological, ethical and political-philosophical concept, apt to reflect on the human capacity of co-existence throughout global history.

This international conference brings together scholars from a number of disciplines, covering various world regions and epochs. It addresses the relations between neighborliness and friendship and neighborliness and enmity, and asks how neighborliness was historically regulated, gendered, performed, exhibited and globalized.

The conference is the annual conference of the Max Weber Foundation which provides each year a forum for the foundation's institutes and their research topics, as well as for other partner institutions.
