Each morning session begins with a lecture given by one of our three keynote speakers, followed by responses and ple- nary discussions. These sessions prepare the ground for the parallel workshops in the afternoon, which focus on key con- cepts/problems and core texts that are particularly relevant for the research projects of the participants. Posters visualize the participants’ projects and foster informal exchange throughout the week.
