Deadline: 1. Juli 2017

Politische Gewalt und Bedrohungen für die staatliche Sicherheit sind
häufig nicht mehr durch den klassischen Dualismus "militärische Invasion
von aussen" oder "Rebellion/Revolution im Inneren" charakterisiert,
sondern gehen vielmehr oft von transnationalen paramilitärischen
Netzwerken aus. Das gilt nicht nur in Bezug auf die medial sehr präsente
Gefahr durch dschihadistischen Terrorismus. Auch an sich traditionelle
Mächte wie Russland üben Gewalt ausserhalb des eigenen Territoriums
nicht nur durch reguläre Streitkräfte, sondern zunehmend durch
transnationale, paramilitärische Strukturen aus, wie sich beim
Waffengang in der Ostukraine deutlich gezeigt hat. Auch wenn sich hier
ein Trend im 21. Jahrhundert zu akzentuieren scheint, spielten
transnationale paramilitärischen Netzwerke bereits im 20. Jahrhundert
eine bedeutende Rolle als Akteure politischer Gewalt. Die formal
neutrale Schweiz nahm für diese Netzwerke immer wieder eine zentrale
Rolle ein als Ort für Organisation, Nachschub, Propaganda, Diplomatie
und gelegentlich auch als Gewaltschauplatz.

Im Hinblick auf ein besseres Verständnis aktueller Formen politischer
Gewalt und (para-)militärischer Bedrohungslagen bietet sich deshalb eine
historische Analyse an. Der Workshop soll sowohl anhand konkreter
Fallstudien als auch durch eine abschliessende Syntheseleistung vertieft
die Strukturen und Wirkungsweisen transnationaler paramilitärischer
Netzwerke untersuchen, die im 20. Jahrhundert in der Schweiz wirksam
waren. Dazu suchen wir Forschungsprojekte, die sich in irgendeiner Form
mit dem Workshop-Thema auseinandersetzen. Insbesondere sind wir an
Beiträgen zu folgenden Themenfeldern interessiert:

1) Emigranten und Exildissidenten, die in der Schweiz Knotenpunkte von
paramilitärischen Netzwerken gebildet haben.
(Beispiele sind russische Anarchisten beziehungsweise
Sozialrevolutionäre und Jungtürken zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts, mit
dem FLN verbundene Algerier und dann Palästinenser in der Zeit des
Kalten Kriegs, oder Albaner im Umkreis der UCK in den 1990er Jahren.)

2) Schweizer Akteure - Organisationen, Institutionen, Einzelpersonen -
die in transnationale paramilitärische Netzwerke integriert waren.
(Beispiele sind Unterstützungsnetzwerke für die terroristische OAS
während des Algerienkriegs, für militante Palästinenser ab den späten
1960er Jahren oder für linksrevolutionäre "Stadtguerillas" in
Deutschland und Italien in den 1970er/1980er Jahren.)

3) Transnationale paramilitärische Netzwerke, die in der Schweiz Gewalt
gegen Exildissidenten bzw. politische Gegner ausübten.
(Beispiele sind die Anschläge der Main Rouge gegen Unterstützer des
algerischen Unabhängigkeitskampfes oder später die Attentate auf
rumänische Dissidenten, verübt von einer militanten Organisation im
Solde des rumänischen Geheimdienstes, der auch Schweizer angehörten.)

Neben der Besprechung empirischer Erkenntnisse bietet die Tagung den
zusammenkommenden Nachwuchswissenschaftlern ausserdem Gelegenheit,
verschiedene qualitative und quantitative Ansätze zur Erforschung
transnationaler paramilitärischer Beziehungsnetze, wie etwa die in der
Historiographie bislang noch wenig ein-gesetzte Soziale Netzwerkanalyse,
zu diskutieren und sich über spezifische Probleme bei der Recherche und
Analyse von Quellenmaterial zu transnationalen politischen Akteursnetzen
auszutauschen.

Der Workshop wird finanziell unterstützt vom Arbeitskreis
Militärgeschichte (AKM). Es steht ein Budget für Reisekostenzuschüsse
zur Verfügung; insbesondere Doktoranden können die Reisekosten erstattet
werden. Mittagessen und Verpflegung während des Workshops sind für die
Teilnehmer kostenlos.

Agents, networks and models: formal approaches to systems, relationships and change in archaeology at CAA

March 19, 2018 Tübingen

The Computer Applications and Quantitative Techniques in Archaeology (CAA) conference will once again have a session focusing on the application of agent-, network- and model-based techniques. We welcome abstracts from those studying the human past using tools from network science, agent-based modelling and other complexity science approaches.

CFP deadline: 22 October
Submission URL: http://2018.caaconference.org/2017/09/29/call-papers-posters-open/
When? 19-23 March 2018

Session abstract:

Agents, networks and models: formal approaches to systems, relationships and change in archaeology

Iza Romanowska
Barcelona Supercomputing Center, Spain
Tom Brughmans
University of Oxford, United Kingdom
Benjamin Davies
University of Auckland, New Zealand

Even if much ink has already been spilled on the need to use formal, computational methods to represent theories, compare alternative hypotheses and develop more complex narratives, the idea is still far from being firmly established in archaeology.

Complexity Science, the study of systems consisting of a collection of interconnected relationships and parts, provides a useful framework for formalising social and socio-natural models and it is often under this umbrella term that formal models are presented in archaeology. It has a particular appeal for researchers concerned with humans, as it stresses the importance of individual actions and interactions, as well as relations between individuals and wider system elements. Archaeology is a discipline that studies long-term, large-scale shifts in social change, human evolution, and relationships with the environment; how these phenomena emerge through the actions and interactions of individuals are questions that lie at the heart of our interests. Complexity Science offers an arsenal of methods that were developed specifically to tackle these kind of mulitscalar, multifaceted research questions.

This session will provide a forum for archaeological case studies developed using Complexity Science toolkits as well as for more methodological papers. We invite submissions of models at any stage of development from the first formalisation of the conceptual model to presenting final results.

Possible topics include but are not limited to applications or discussions of the following approaches:

Complexity science,

Network science,

Agent-based and equation-based modelling,

System dynamics,

Long-term change in social systems,

Social simulation in geographical space,

Complex urban systems, space syntax, gravity models.

CFP- Negotiating Networks: new research on networks in social and economic history, London 25th June 2018

June 25, 2018

Call for papers

CFP- Negotiating Networks: new research on networks in social and economic history

One day conference – 25th June 2018

Institute of Historical Research, University of London

Keynote: Sheryllynne Haggerty, University of Nottingham

This conference will bring together scholars working on networks in social and economic history, broadly defined, with a particular focus on those using Social Network Analysis (SNA) in their research. SNA has become increasingly popular as one of the key digital tools for historical research in recent years. We would like to encourage conversation and exchange of ideas between researchers who use this methodology.

We welcome proposals for papers from postgraduate, early career and established scholars working in this area. The aim of the conference is to bring together researchers dealing with the challenges and rewards of examining historical networks. We therefore encourage papers dealing with the medieval, early modern or modern periods and any geographical location. Papers which take a methodological approach to historical SNA are also welcome.

Possible themes include, but are not limited to:

Economic networks: business, trade and material culture

Religious and cultural networks: networks of minorities and marginalised groups, confessional networks

Interactions between networks and other themes in socio-economic history e.g. migration, institutions

Methodological issues in historical SNA

Please send abstracts of 250 words for 20 minute papers to Esther Lewis and Charlie Berry at negotiatingnetworks@gmail.com by 30th January 2018. We hope to offer bursaries for attendance for speakers and travel for postgraduate and ECR attendees.
