DOWNLOAD THE TES APPLICATION FORM

::: 1. When was Europe ? : The quest for European identity. Code Y1.

The seminar will examine the proposition that Europe has never been a reality but for centuries has been an idea, expressed in a host of ways, about Enlightenment and Progress. This rhetoric informed social movements, such as Marxism, liberalism and various forms of nationalism, as well as artistic and intellectual currents. Much of this discussion also cloaked inhumanity and barbarism, especially (but not only) in its imperial forms, which were exported to 'civilize' large parts of the world. One of the key questions at issue is wether it makes sense to conceive of the notion that Europe has been and remains as much a shifting discursive field as it has been a shiftingterritorial one. The boundaries of both discourse and territory have never been fixed. They remain fluid to this day.

Instructor: Jay Winter, Yale University


:::2. The State of European Theater. Code Y2.
This workshop aims at presenting the organization of theater in Europe and especially the important government support it receives from European states. A particular emphasis will be put on presenting the way public theater is managed and organized in both France and Germany, which boast impressive networks of national and regional public theaters. The workshop shall also aims at debating the differences between Europe and the US when it comes to funding the arts.

Instructor: Florent MASSE, Princeton University


  

::: 3. Working with pictures in foreign Language Teaching. Code Y3
Present topics include (contemporary) images of Europe, Germany and France for social and cultural studies in foreign language teaching. The goal is to mediate techniques for "Working with Pictures" to foreign language teachers.

Instructor: Dominique MACAIRE, Institut Universitaire de Formation des Maitres d'Aquitaine, Bordeaux, France


::: 4. Europe's emergence as a security actor. Code Y4.
The workshop will examine the European Union's institutional innovation with the development, in Brussels, of five new security institutions. It will assess the EU's development of genuine military muscle with two procurement targets (Helsinki Headline Goal 1999 and Headline Goal 2010) and associated resources. It will also assess the police and military operations in which the European Union has engaged since 2003. Finally, it will evaluate the type of military actor which the European Union appears to wish to become.

Instructor: Jolyon HOWORTH, Yale University
