Verantwortung abgeben, Verantwortung übernehmen. Freiwilligkeit im mittelalterlichen Amtsverzicht

Seven talks and discussions explore and critique established views on the Enlightenment narratives, on subjectivity and self-ownership, on personal and political agency, on work and social reproduction, on migration and security – through the lens of voluntary action and in global and postcolonial perspectives. Featuring the approach that acting voluntarily is always situational and grounded in conditions of possibility they discuss how people’s voluntary action takes on very different shapes across different times and societies.
