SUMMARY:Navigating the Grey Zone: Complicity\, Resistance and Solidarity
DESCRIPTION:The University of Edinburgh is hosting an interdisciplinary Summer School entitled “Navigating the Grey Zone: Complicity\, Resistance and Solidarity.” This event targets PhD students and early career researchers (within 4 years of obtaining their doctorate). We will explore the complexities of complicity in and resistance to systemic human rights violations. Moreover\, we will consider the ethical and political value of art for shedding light on the ambiguous reality of political responsibility and fostering relations of political solidarity. The Summer School is part of the interdisciplinary ERC research Project GREYZONE. \nList of Confirmed Speakers: \n\nDanielle Celermajer\, Sociology\, University of Sydney\nVikki Bell\, Sociology\, Goldsmiths\, University of London\nMargaret Atack\, French\, University of Leeds\nPaul Gready\, Centre for Applied Human Rights\, University of York\nBronwyn Leebaw\, Political Science\, University of California\nCynthia Milton\, History\, University of Montreal\n\nThe programme features morning lectures by expert speakers\, followed by presentations from participants in the afternoon. Our speakers will attend and comment on the afternoon presentations. To facilitate productive discussions\, all participants are expected to read the assigned readings for each morning session and to share their papers at least one week before the Summer School starts. \nParticipant papers will cover various disciplinary backgrounds\, including philosophy\, political\, social and legal theory\, history\, political science\, cultural studies and aesthetics. The papers are expected to examine among the following issues: \n\nConceptualisations of complicity\, resistance and solidarity in relation to systemic political violence;\nThe grey zone as a challenge to political memory\, identity\, and history;\nThe epistemic\, moral and political value of artistic engagements with painful pasts;\nBroader theoretical and practical challenges raised by the complexities of complicity\, including issues of moral\, political and legal judgement and agency\, guilt and responsibility\, forgiveness and revenge\, justice and reconciliation;\nThe relationship between state-sponsored and artistic engagements with the grey zones of complicity and resistance;\nThe value and effects of artworks on public debates about/institutional responses to past violence;\nEthical and political dilemmas regarding the status of truth\, the possibility of representation and the value of testimony in relation to the grey zones of political violence.\n\n  \n
