Global Repertoires of Living Together
New Lecture Series Organized Within the Framework of the Berlin University Alliance Addresses Ideas and Practices of Living Together from Transregional Perspectives. Start: April 27, 2022 - The interdisciplinary Alliance project "Beyond Social Cohesion - Global Repertoires of Living Together" (RePLITO) organizes an international lecture series on different ideas and practices of living together: "Global Repertoires of 'Living Together': critical and decolonial perspectives". The thematic spectrum ranges from living together under conditions of social and cultural disadvantage to concepts of democracy beyond liberal regimes. The series starts on April 27 and runs on Thursdays from 6 to 8 p.m. RePLITO is funded by the Berlin University Alliance (BUA) within the framework of the Grand Challenge Initiative on Social Cohesion. In light of increasing global interdependencies, social inequalities, and acute crises, the lecture series looks at neglected or silenced knowledge pools and practices of living together. The term "living together" serves as an analytical point of departure: RePLITO explores how individual stakeholders or social movements in regions of the Global South and on the margins of Europe imagine communal living, how they practice it, and how they create interpersonal bonds. "Our project team hopes to revive the memory of knowledge archives and repertoires of living together that have been marginalized by past colonial interventions or by contemporary imperialist structures.
