Se beskrivelse herunder:

Are there traces of war in everyday life, even during times of notional “peace”? Military research plays a key part in the technological innovation and development that shape everyday life. Moreover, it is often suggested that for the past half-century, war has been omnipresent as a global phenomenon mediated through both the economy of production and preparation for world war. But does this imply that there are therefore traces of war in the practices of everyday life?

The goal of this research seminar is to tackle this question. This task is particularly urgent since the “hybridized” nature of many practices make such traces difficult to recognize let alone explain or understand. This hybridization follows three axes: public-private,military-civilian, andtechnological-socia.

For this research the organisers solicit three or four relatively short think-pieces (4-5 pages) that outline tentative ways of answering the question at stake: how and why are there traces of war in everyday life? These will be distributed a few days before the seminar.
