This workshop brings together scholars from different fields of study (philosophy, anthropology, literature, social history and cultural studies), working on some off-the beaten track topics from the Lusophone World and/or the Early Modern period. Over these two days, we will discuss several dimensions of the Self - a Lusophone self, namely, discourses of freedom, expressions of autonomy, production of knowledge, and the imaginary of bodies. This will be done:
1) In constructions of freedom through the abolitionist discourses in Europe and the Atlantic Triangle.
2) Through gender, ethniticity and religious vectors in the configurations of autonomy in private, public and spiritual life in Lusophone West Africa, India, Europe and Spanish America.
3) By reflecting upon the theories and methodologies that cross and criss-cross knowledge within the Portuguese-speaking world between 1500 and 1800.
The workshop is a kick-off meeting for an international research project on the intellectual legacy of religious women and their practices of knowledge in the Lusophone world.

1960 unterzeichneten die BRD und Spanien eine Vereinbarung zur Anwerbung von GastarbeiterInnen. Für Deutschland war es das zweite Abkommen mit einem südeuropäischen Land, nachdem 1955 bereits mit Italien die erste bilaterale Anwerbungsvereinbarung geschlossen wurde. Anlässlich des 50-jährigen Jubiläums der Unterzeichnung des Anwerbeabkommens zwischen Deutschland und Spanien möchte die Veranstaltung „1960-2010: 50 Jahre spanische Einwanderung in der Bundesrepublik“ eine Bilanz des halben Jahrhunderts spanischer Einwanderung in Deutschland ziehen und die Erinnerung an diese Schlüsselepoche der bilateralen Beziehungen zwischen Deutschland und Spanien pflegen.
The European Union celebrated its 50th birthday. The Treaty of Rome may have made the project of a united Europe a reality in 1957, however, discussions of utopias regarding a community of European States have been conducted in several languages over the centuries.
The International Congress Ideas of Europe / Ideas for Europe – placed under the patronage of the President of the European Commission, Mr José Manuel Barroso – seeks to promote the debate on different ideas of a European Community. Knowing the different concepts of Europe that have been developed in the heterogeneous cultures of Europe enables to reflect on what Europe should be like in future.
The European integrative process has not only intensified the relations between the economical and political pre-eminent powers and the new Eastern-European members, but furthermore it triggers the exchange between the ‘old’ and ‘new’ peripheries of the continent. All EU-members are presented to a much greater degree now in the media and the official discourses of the other members. The increase in mobility of the people adds to a growing density of the inter-peripheral relations in Europe.
