Lecture now online. Stefanie Middendorf (Oxford Martin School Visiting Fellow): "Notions of Emergency under Democratic and Dictatorial Rule"

In this talk, Professor Stefanie Middendorf scrutinises experiences of crisis and disorder in historical and comparative perspectives.

The talk reveals how states perceived ‘states of emergency’ which were both made visible or hidden by different political systems throughout the 20th century. It also questions whether this approach helps us to better understand liminalities of democratic and dictatorial rule. The historical cases that are considered include Germany in the age of global wars and France after 1945, and a special focus is on transnational experiences and the circulation of knowledge and micro-techniques of power.

This public lecture was a joint event with the Oxford Martin School.
