The plural form, temporalities , highlights the coexistence of multiple, often contradictory concepts of time, influenced by diverse values, political and religious beliefs, as well as economic and technological frameworks. Latin America serves as a striking example, where, among others, indigenous and (post)colonial time regimes, revolutionary futures and historical continuities, global rhythms and local temporalities have been in constant negotiation. The main topics of the conference are summarised in the following panels: Panel 1 – Cycles and Ruptures: Ancestral Temporalitites and Epistemologies Panel 2 – Speculative Temporalities: Past Memories, Future Imaginaries in Film, Art and Literature Panel 3 – Reframing the Past: Collective Memory and State Silence Panel 4 – Feminist Movements and Theories: Continuities and Transformations Across Time Panel 5 – Contested Futures: Youth, Education, and Cultural Diplomacy in Latin American Cold War Contexts Panel 6 – Migration and the Politics of Temporal Hierarchies in the Venezuelan Diaspora Early career researchers as PhD candidates and Master's students contributions from various disciplines that explore temporalities in Latin America through projections into the future, memory practices, and everyday experiences, highlighting time as both a lived and socially constructed reality. Presentations are 15 minutes. The working languages of the conference will be English and Spanish.

International Month Now Every June
International Month • Freie Universität Berlin Freie Universität Berlin has been celebrating “International Week” every year since 2015. To mark our tenth anniversary, we are delighted to announce that we will be expanding it and celebrating “International Month” every June from now on. Throughout the month, we shine a light on internationalization and address a wide range of questions: What does internationalization mean at Freie Universität? What are the right steps to take in launching international partnerships and collaborative research projects? What options are available for students, researchers, and staff who would like to go abroad? What pathways exist for Freie Universität graduates who want to embark on international careers? How can international graduates of Freie Universität start a career in Germany? During International Month, students, researchers, and staff at Freie Universität can attend workshops, talks, and roundtable discussions on the university’s current international activities, country-specific opportunities, offers specifically for international students, and funding resources.
