Vsebinski sklop Odgovorna znanost: etika in integriteta v raziskovanju bomo v okviru Raziskovalnega seminarja 1 izvajali 13. 4. od 15:00 do 17:00 in 11. 5. od 15:00 do 18:00 v sejni sobi Geografskega inštituta Antona Melika ZRC SAZU.

Na Filozofskem inštitutu in Podiplomski šoli ZRC SAZU bo 13. aprila ob 18. uri gostoval Eric Cazdyn z Univerze v Torontu.

Predavanje, posvečeno Fredricu Jamesonu, bo potekalo v angleškem jeziku, v Atriju ZRC na Novem trgu 2, Ljubljana.

Pred predavanjem bo preliminarno predstavljen slovenski prevod Jamesonovih predavanj Leta teorije, ki bo junija letos izšel v zbirki Philosophica moderna. V knjigi Jameson ponudi široko zasnovan in zgodovinsko diferenciran pregled razvoja sodobne francoske misli, pri čemer sledi njenim ključnim preobrazbam od Sartra in eksistencializma prek strukturalizma in poststrukturalizma do sodobnih teoretskih tokov. Predavanja ne predstavljajo zgolj kronološkega pregleda, temveč tudi poskus konceptualnega razumevanja notranje dinamike teh premikov, pri čemer jih avtor vseskozi umešča v širše politično in zgodovinsko dogajanje ter preučuje njihov vpliv na širše polje humanistike in družboslovja.

O PREDAVANJU
The Blindspot Machine: The Jameson Iteration

Kaj je slepa pega? Kaj nas lahko nauči o tem, kako gledamo, kako mislimo, kako želimo ter kako se v svetu zgodi sprememba? Cazdyn zagovarja tezo, da je prevladujoča ideologija slepe pege (od kulture do politike), po kateri je ta razumljena kot nekaj manjkajočega, kot nekaj, kar je treba razkriti ali prikriti, najsmrtonosnejše orožje v rokah vladajočih. Blindspot Machine, optični sistem z več kamerami, ki ga je Cazdyn razvil za potrebe te kritike, proizvede novo teorijo in prakso slepe pege, s čimer se izogne golemu razkrivanju slepih peg kot utelešenj nasilne želje državne oblasti. V tej različici projekta Blindspot Machine bo izpostavil načine, kako obravnavo tega problema oblikuje in navdihuje delo Fredrica Jamesona. Na predavanju bodo projicirani tudi odlomki iz filma, ki ga je Cazdyn posnel z Jamesonom nedolgo pred njegovo smrtjo.

Eric Cazdyn je profesor za estetiko in politiko na Univerzi v Torontu (Center za primerjalno književnost in Oddelek za vzhodnoazijske študije), kjer predava kritično in kulturno teorijo, psihoanalizo, marksizem, film in arhitekturo. Je avtor knjig The Already Dead: The New Time of Politics, Culture and Illness (2012), After Globalization (z Imrejem Szemanom, 2011), The Flash of Capital: Film and Geopolitics in Japan (2002) in Nothing: Three Inquiries in Buddhism (z Marcusom Boonom in Timothyjem Mortonom, 2015), ter urednik del Trespasses: Selected Writings of Masao Miyoshi (2010) in Disastrous Consequences (2007).

Attila Demény graduated at the Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest, as a geologist in 1986. He is dealing with stable isotope geochemistry since 1988, when he had ascholarship at the University of Utrecht, then he established a stable isotope laboratory in Budapest in 1990. He is dealing mainly with stable isotope analyses of various substances and environments from the Earth’s mantle topaleoclimate archives. He is an author of 170 journal articles and bookchapters, and has received 5109 google scholar citations. He is a member of theHungarian Academy of Sciences, and was a director of the Institute forGeological and Geochemical Research, Budapest, from 2008 to 2026.

Why aptychi and rhyncholites are so good paleoclimatearchives: microfabric features and geochemical compositions.

Oxygen isotope analysis of calcitic fossils is one of the most important toolsfor determining paleotemperatures, for which detection of primary textures andlate-stage alterations is essential. I’ll present the results of EBSD measurements of internal structures ofaptychi and rhyncholites and their mathematical analyses, as well as stableisotope analyses that demonstrate that well selected aptychi and especiallyrhyncholites can provide precise paleotemperature data. The studies have beenpublished in International Journal of Earth Sciences (https://doi.org/10.1007/s00531-023-02376-5) and Communications Earth &Environment (https://doi.org/10.1038/s43247-025-02892-z).

Bouligand structure in Nature - universal application ofa simple geometrical phenomenon

French biologist Yves Bouligand recognised a unique,hierarchical helical structure at the external cuticle of decapod crustaceansin 1972. The structure, which is the organisation of organic and non-organic (e.g.,calcite) material of living creatures distribute outstanding mechanicalproperties to the material in which applied.

The structure today called 'Bouligand structure' after YvesBouligand who discovered it. Later research prove the presence in far animaland even plant groups and revelaed its universal presence in Nature. Firsttechnological application occurred in 2024 by Rolls-Royce in airplane enginecover plates to strengthen the structure against unprecedented object impacts.

The presentation introduce the maverick science ofBouligad structure, its presence in Nature, possible human applications and theprospects in future material and natural science

International JazzFestivals, Blackness, and Sonic Negotiations of Europeanisation: Case Studiesfrom the Skopje Jazz Festival.

Predavanje bo izvedeno v angleščini v sejni dobi Inštitutaza kulturne in spominske študije ZRC SAZU, Trg francoske revolucije 7, 2.nadstropje.

This seminar focuses on the Skopje Jazz Festival (SJF, established in 1982), as a case study of international jazz festivals as sites of possibility and limitation for a liberatory and anti-imperialist politics. Taking examples from three chapters of the author’s monograph-in-progress Living Jazz on the Edge of Europe: Institutions and the Possibilities of a Liberation Music, the seminar is situated within a broader project concerned with discourses in Black Studies on possibilities and liberation, and considering jazz as a Black (American) music that has been global since before the word “jazz” was used to label the music. The chapters from which the seminar's examples are drawn consider international jazz festivals as aesthetically, politically, and economically situated in regional networks of festival production. These festivals thus operate as sites of negotiation of multiple overlapping spheres of racial and gender politics, as well as, in the case of SJF, political processes of Europeanisation. Ethnographic fieldwork conducted in Macedonia between 2011 and 2018 forms the foundation of this work, where the author participated in jazz (and other) music worlds in Macedonia as a musician, audience member, educator, concert organiser, and ethnographer.

The first example discusses a case from the 2018 SJF, which featured an exhibit of African art on loan from the Museum of African Art in Belgrade, the first ever exhibition of African art in North Macedonia, which included narratives linking African art and jazz. The analysis of the exhibit includes some discussion of the Non-Aligned Movement as an element of the political and economic legacies of Yugoslavia (i.e., SFRY) that continue to inform conceptions and imaginations of Africa and blackness in North Macedonia. The second example focuses on the listening environments of three performances from the 2013 SJF: Roscoe Mitchell and Tyshawn Sorey, the band Harriet Tubman and Cassandra Wilson, and a concert titled “Balkan Fever” featuring Vlatko Stefanovski, Miroslav Tadić, Teodosii Spassov, and the Macedonian Philharmonic. Taken together, the modes of audience engagement with these performances raise questions about the conditions under which liberatory political possibilities are nurtured (or, alternatively, foreclosed) at the site of international jazz festivals.

A moment from the 2018 SJF grounds the third example, where a solo concert of trumpet player Wadada Leo Smith occurred simultaneously with a performance of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony by the Macedonian Philharmonic and with the first successful vote by the Macedonian Parliament in the process of changing the country’s constitutional name from the Republic of Macedonia to the Republic of North Macedonia. Considering these concurrent events, together with the other examples, reveals how a jazz festival can be a site for foregrounding the Black radical tradition and its broader emancipatory possibilities beyond a Black/White binary, even as it prioritises adherence to European forms of whiteness and participates in (and against) musical and political processes of Europeanisation.
