Rethinking the Culture of Tolerance

Tolerance and Conflict Prevention and Resolution, from the Neighbourhoods to the International Community

Venues: University of Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina
Period: 19th – 25th September 2016
Application deadline: 10 June 2016


Brief description
: The question of tolerance is one of the most challenging in the contemporary world. As the modern discourse of tolerance historically appears together with those of pluralism, liberty and autonomy, the pluralistic society at the global level, and particularly in Europe, needs more than ever a serious rethinking of the concept itself, together with the contextualization of the forms and practices of toleration as a response to the new models of intolerance and discrimination.
The lectures and seminars of the third edition of the School will focus on different patterns of social conflictuality, in its micro, meso and macro dimensions. Theoretical concepts of toleration, respect and recognition and their practical significance in the prevention of structural and political forms of violence, and in the search for just and durable solutions for conflicts in ‘stable democracies’ and transitional post-conflict societies, will be examined and discussed. The topic will be explored in the framework of a European space in construction, concerning the process of deepening – in terms of political and economic, but also cultural and social integration – and the process of widening – in terms of the Europeanization through enlargement, questioning its limits and the liminal zones of uncertain borders of the continent. The problems of a democratic deficit of the EU institutions and of the dramatic increase of social inequalities in European societies, together with those of populism, xenophobia, ‘migrant’ and ‘refugee question’, will be compared with the specific ‘troubles and issues’ of the transitional East and South European countries, new or future members of the EU.


The main framework of the lectures and seminars includes the following themes:
