Text graphic: this month at ZiF 06 2026Text graphic: EVENTS 06/2026 | 22.-24.06. | WORKSHOP | Undoing Militarized Narconarratives: Outlines of the Popular in Illegalized Markets | Estefanía Ciro Rodriguez (Colombiana), Alke Jenss (Freiburg), Philipp Wolfesberger (Bielefeld), Oswaldo Zavala (New York) | in context of the Long-Term Group "Dimensions of Regulation: Conceptualizing the Popular in the Drugs/Violence Nexus" | The participants explore the 'gray zone' between legality and illegality in drug economies, examining how prohibitionist policies, militarization, and securitarian narratives shape systems of violence, inequality, and governance. Moving beyond the conventional framing of the 'war on drugs', the workshop looks at how state-driven narratives and surveillance practices reinforce stigmas around class, gender, and race, while often overlooking the everyday realities of people involved in these economies.Text graphic: EVENTS 06/2026 | 25.-26.06. | WORKSHOP | Navigating Research Challenges in Post-Socialist Contexts – Rethinking Knowledge Production and Methodologies | Anna Amelina (Chemnitz), Karolina Barglowski (Luxembourg), Irina Kuznetsova (Birmingham), Encarnación Gutiérrez Rodríguez (Frankfurt a.M.) | in context of the Resident Group "Postcolonial and Postsocialist Interdependencies Across Borders" | What does it mean to produce knowledge from the margins: in post-socialist, postcolonial, or "Global East" contexts where entire epistemologies remain systematically undervalued? This international and interdisciplinary workshop brings together scholars from sociology, anthropology, history, political science, geography, and gender studies to confront some of the most urgent methodological challenges of social sciences and humanities.

💧Did you know that ZiF has its own swimming pool? After some repairs, it is finally open again and ready for our fellows & guests to enjoy. 💡Fun fact: Our pool is not just great for fun and relaxation – it can also serve as an emergency water supply for the fire department if necessary.
