the Information The presentation will delineate central dimensions of the knowledge and information society, which rely on an intrinsic core of contradistinction to industrial society. From there, the question arises: How can this qualitative mark of the information society be specified and, finally, operationalized for empirical analysis? Jochen

School for Social Research The 7th Annual Committee on Historical Studies, Sociology Department, and International Labor and Working Class History journal joint conference Keynote Speaker: Eviatar Zerubavel, Professor of Sociology at Rutgers University From Tianamenn Square in Beijing to the Maison des Esclaves on Goreé Island in Senegal, sights of social confrontation, spaces of violence, provide a framework for the construction of history, the places of memory. The urban waterfront, the rural battlefield, the domestic interior are all spaces of memory and sights of contestation. Both historians and sociologists have examined the ways in which space and memory inform the construction of social and historical narratives. How do spaces of violence function as spaces of memory? How does the spatial structure crystallize events in memory, and further, how can spatial re-structuring change the way violent events are memorialized? The Seventh Annual Sociology and Committee on Historical Studies Conference at the New School invites you to participate in the on-going discussion about relation between sites of violence and memory. Topics are limited to:

THE UNION OF EUROPE - Click here to see the schedule. Sigrid Meuschel, Visiting Theodor Heuss Professor of Sociology at the Graduate Faculty at New School University, and Detlef Pollack, Visiting Max Weber Professor of Sociology at New York University, are pleased to announce a one-day conference called "Towards the Union of Europe - Cultural and Legal Ramifications" on Friday, March 5, 2004. Panelists and speakers will explore the future prospects of Europe after the process of enlargement and constitution making. In the morning session, they will look at how the multiple European political cultures combine and contrast against the background of divided as well as shared European memories. In the afternoon, the discussion will focus on the significances of the European Union's constitution-building both in its interior and exterior dimensions, especially with regard to effects on US-European relations. Gesine Schwan, Professor of Polical Science and President of the University Frankfurt/Oder, and Dieter Grimm, Director of the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin, Professor of Law at Berlin's Humboldt University, former judge at the German Constitutional Court, will be the keynote speakers. Other participants include Adam Michnik, Editor-in-Chief of Gazeta Wyborcza, Jan Kavan, former Foreign Minister of the Czech Republic, John Richardson, Ambassador of the EU to the UN, and scholars such as Andrew Arato, Seyla Benhabib, Volker Berghahn, Dick Howard, Anne-Marie LeGloannec, Elzbieta Matynia, and Martin Schain.
