KUNST AM CAS − VERNISSAGE Petra Amerell Einführung: Dr. Denise Reitzenstein (Historisches Seminar, LMU) Petra Amerells abstrakte Malerei entsteht ganz aus der Farbe heraus. Die Farbe spielt eindeutig die Hauptrolle – sie ist Ausdrucksträger der oft großformatigen Bilder. Es geht der Künstlerin um die Frage, wie Farben im Bild miteinander kommunizieren und wie sie sich gegen­ seitig steigern, reizen und Klänge bilden. Im Entstehungsprozess der Arbeiten ist das Verhältnis von Zufall und Intention von zentraler Bedeutung für die Künstlerin; die Frage also, wie im kreativen Pro­ zess aus Farben und Formen ein selbstständiges Ganzes entsteht. n Petra Amerell hat Malerei an der Akademie der Bildenden Künste in München studiert. Sie lebt und arbeitet in München. Kunst am CAS präsentiert Arbeiten von Münchner Künstlerinnen und Künstlern und wird von der UniGalerie der LMU unterstützt.

A B S T R A C T I O N , D I V E R S I T Y, AND SPEECH DYNAMICS Internationaler Workshop unter Leitung von Prof. Jonathan Harrington, Ph.D., PD Dr. Marianne Pouplier und Dr. Eva Reinisch (LMU).

5 Producing and perceiving speech involves the parallel transmission of numerous types of signs or categories, both linguistic (e.g. words and their constituent consonants and vowels) and indexical (social class, regional affiliation, gender etc.). The production of speech also involves a coordinated activity of some hundred muscles per second that is adapted to speaking and situational contexts. While it has long become clear that the linguistic and social as well as the cognitive and physical aspects of speaking are tightly intertwined, quite how these multiple layers of semiotic and signal aspects of speech are connected and how those connections may be manifested differently in the world's languages and cultures remains poorly understood. The aim of the conference is to advance discussion on these issues. n Teilnehmer sind u.a.: Ann Bradlow (Northwestern), Jennifer Cole (Northwestern), Jan Edwards (Wisconsin-Madison), Adamantios Gafos (Potsdam), Matt Goldrick (Northwestern), Esther Janse (Radboud), James McQueen (Radboud), Caroline Niziolek (Boston University), Pascal Perrier (Grenoble INP), Janet Pierrehumbert (Oxford), Douglas Shiller (Université de Montréal).

CAS in Residence

Internationaler Workshop unter Leitung von Prof. Dr. Adelheid Otto und Prof. Dr. Walther Sallaberger (Senior Researcher in Residence). Meeting at a festival as well as drinking, eating, singing and playing music was as central in the ancient Near East as in other societies. Sumerian and Akkadian literature deals with festivals and it was presented there, Mesopotamian imagery refers to topics like banquet scenes or music, the archaeological record of temples and other specific places allows perspectives on feasting, and the goods found there can be retrieved by deciphering cuneiform administrative documents. Although the focus of the workshop is on Mesopotamia in the Early Bronze Age or third millennium BC, evidence from other periods will be included to obtain a wider perspective. n Teilnehmer sind u.a.: Kozad Ahmed (Sulaimani / CAS Visiting Fellow), Abdulamir Hamdani (Bagdad / CAS Visiting Fellow), Lucio Milano (Venedig / CAS Visiting Fellow), Haider Oraibi Almamori (Bagdad / CAS Visiting Fellow), Beate Pongratz-Leisten (New York University), Claudia E. Suter (Basel), Maria Vittoria Tonietti (Florenz).

Biology of Genomes

6 Internationaler Workshop unter Leitung von Prof. Dr. Martin Parniske (LMU). The focus of the workshop will be on the evolution of networks generated by transcriptional regulators targeting cis-regulatory elements during gene activity control. In relatively closely related species, a surprising divergence of these networks exists, even though the transcriptional regulators were considered to be subject to conservative selection pressures. n Teilnehmer sind u.a.: Peter Becker (LMU), Virginie CourtierOrgogozo (Paris Diderot), Ana Cvejic (Cambridge), Chiraj Dalal (UCSF), Nicolas Gompel (LMU), Patrick Lemaire (Montpellier), Mike Levine (Princeton), Mark Rebeiz (Pittsburgh), Miltos Tsiantis (MPI für Pflanzenzüchtungsforschung, Köln).

REASONING AND A R G U M E N TAT I O N I N S C I E N C E

Researcher

CAS in Residence

Internationale Tagung unter Leitung von Benjamin Eva, Ph.D., Prof. Dr. Stephan Hartmann und Karolina Krzyżanowska, Ph.D. (Senior Researcher in Residence Group). Progress in science is not only a matter of new models and theories, but also of new ways of reasoning and arguing for specific conclusions. The conference focuses on these epistemological features of science and considers the following questions: Which new reasoning and argumentation schemes do contemporary scientists use? How are these schemes justified, and how can they be assessed? Is it possible to come up with a unified normative theory of reasoning and argumentation in science? The conference focuses on reasoning and argumentation in the sciences in general, but there will also be a special focus on reasoning in specific natural and social sciences.

Which rhythms are most natural is different in language and in music. In language, duple rhythms, in which every second beat is prominent, are the basis of stress systems across all languages, with triple rhythms, in which every third beat is prominent, arising only as occasional variants under specific formal conditions. In music, in contrast, triple rhythms are at least as basic as duple rhythms, as felt in the restful simplicity of a traditional waltz. Where does poetry fit in? This talk will explore works of Dryden, Purcell, Byron and Tennyson to suggest that it patterns with language.  n Kristin Hanson ist Professorin für Linguistik an der University of California in Berkeley und im Sommersemester 2017 Gastprofessorin an der LMU.

Internationale Tagung unter Leitung von Prof. Dr. Stephan Lessenich (LMU). Since the demise of state socialism in the late 1980s and early 1990s, global capitalism has changed its face and has developed with a dynamic unknown in previous decades. However, confronted with this dynamic of change, it seems that the social sciences have

not adapted their analytical toolkit and are mostly operating with much the same categories as they did twenty years ago. The much questioned, but still dominant “methodological nationalism” may be the most prominent example of social sciences sticking to the concepts, categories, and perspectives developed in the course of post-WWII history – however, it is not the only case in point. Bringing together scholars from sociology, political science, econo­ mics, history, and literary studies, the conference aims at a critical reflection on and a collaborative revision of the analytical apparatus for the study of global capitalism in the 21st century.

Abendvortrag am 20. Juni um 18 Uhr c.t. Prof. Dr. Samuel Weber TR ADITION AND TR ANSMISSION: OLD AND NEW PROBLEMS IN THE DYNAMICS OF INEQUALIT Y

Policy-makers typically find themselves under huge pressure to address pressing societal challenges, be they environmental, demo­ graphic, economic, social, or cultural in nature. In response to these societal demands and problem-solving requirements, all modern democracies have piled up an enormous number of laws, policies, and public programs over the years that deeply affect all aspects of life and even death for their citizens. At the same time, however, the steadily increasing stock of rules and policies also creates difficult challenges for the state. These challenges are likely to emerge in at least three different areas: policy learning, policy discourse and communication, as well as policy implementation.

T W I S T I N G T H E D R A G O N ’ S TA I L : A VOYA G E I N TO UNCHARTED HISTONE TERRITORIES Centromeres can be used as a model for epigenetic regulation in normal and diseased states. Here the research focus is especially on non-canonical histone variants such as Centromer Protein A (CENP-A). In recent years, observations were made by the group led by Yamini Dalal, which succeeded in linking CENP-A and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) originating from human centromeres to the maintenance of chromatin structure at the centromere, and dysregulation of chromatin structure in human tumors. n Yamini Dalal ist Gruppenleiterin im Labor von Gordon L. Hager (Receptor Biology and Gene Expression) am National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, USA, und derzeit Visiting Fellow am CAS.

The repercussions of the partition of British India in 1947 continue to burden relations between postcolonial Pakistan and India. Both nation states were carved out of an abrupt division of populations, religions, territories, landscapes, bureaucracies, and infrastructures that caused the largest mass migration of the 20th century with about one million victims of excessive political violence. 70 years later both nations cling to hegemonic master narratives that construct the “other” as perpetrator of partition. This workshop explores alternative, demotic practices of memorizing partition and its aftermaths by bringing together scholars working in the fields of history, anthropology, sociology, and political science. n Teilnehmer sind u.a.: Mukulika Banerjee (London School of Economics), Virinder Kalra (Manchester), Raphaela Kormoll (Durham), Gyanendra Pandey (Emory College of Arts and Sciences), Pippa Virdee (Leicester), Vazira Zamindar (Brown University).

Internationaler Workshop unter Leitung von Dr. Wenjia Song (LMU). Gas turbines, especially current designs operating at high tempera­ tures, are susceptible to damages caused by molten ash deposition (volcanic ash, terrestrial, fossil ash, and fuel ash). This interdiscipli­ nary workshop will bring together experts from chemical engineering, geoscience and biometric studies to apply state-of-the-art technologies used in coal combustion, the treatment of high temperature surface material and optical physics. Taking a macro- and a microscale view and consider static as well as dynamic conditions, the workshop will ex­ plore the influence of different types of ash wetting on various gas tur­ bines with the aim to determine new and improved mitigation methods. n Teilnehmer sind u.a.: Rory Clarkson (Rolls-Royce Inc.), Bill Clyne (Cambridge), Thomas Fletcher (Brigham Young University), Masahiro Fukumoto (Toyohashi University of Technology), Hongbo Guo (Beihang University), Anne-Marie Kietzig (McGill University), Carlos G.

Representing Migration

Internationale Tagung unter Leitung von PD Dr. Ursula Prutsch (LMU) und Prof. Dr. Ulf Brunnbauer (Graduiertenschule für Ostund Südosteuropastudien, LMU / Universität Regensburg). Between the end of the 19th century and 1914, more than 3.5 million people emigrated from the Habsburg Monarchy to the Americas. Many of them took their national or regional identifications as “Germans”, “Poles”, “Italians”, “Dalmatians” etc. with them, other – such as the Slovaks – experienced a veritable nation-building process in North America. America, thus, became also a place where Habs­ burg nationality conflicts were played out. Furthermore, especially the Hungarian government tried to extend its nation-building project across the Atlantic.
