Forgeries are mimetic practices of unique cultural, economic and political relevance. They alter reality, make history and perform cultural work. The conference aims to engage an interdisciplinary dialogue on the potential impacts of fakes, involving literature, performance and media studies as well as art history, with their diverging media and multiple concepts of the original. The debate will focus on faking as process, fakes in intercultural contexts and the forgery of traditions. | Center for Advanced Studies LMU: 29.10.2015 | Speaker: Henry Keazor | Moderation: Christopher Balme, Simone Niehoff

Reasoning and inference are not the same, argues Paul Thagard. Reasoning is slow, deliberate, and social, where as inference is fast, automatic, and individual. | Center for Advanced Studies LMU: 06.07.2016 | Speaker: Prof. Paul Thagard, Ph.D. | Moderation: Prof. Clark Chinn, Ph.D.

Die aktuelle Situation von Menschen, die noch auf der Flucht sind, in Europa gerade ankommen, oder schon seit einiger Zeit versuchen, hier Fuß zu fassen, stellt kulturelle Institutionen vor besondere Herausforderungen. Welche Möglichkeiten, Impulse zu setzen, gibt es überhaupt? Müssen Theater und Museen Position beziehen und sich auch selbst verändern? | Die Podiumsdiskussion ist Teil des in Vorbereitung befindlichen CAS-Schwerpunktes "Repräsentationen von Migration", der im Wintersemester unter Federführung von Prof. Dr. Burcu Dogramaci (Kunstgeschichte) und PD Dr. Ursula Prutsch (Amerikanistik) und Beteiligung von Prof. Dr. Christopher Balme (Theaterwissenschaft), Prof. Dr. Christoph Neumann (Turkologie) und Prof. Dr. Martin Schulze Wessel (Osteuropäische Geschichte) starten wird. | Center for Advanced Studies LMU: 23.06.2016 | Sprecherinnen: Dr. Marion Ackermann, Maxi Obexer, Anne Schulz, Christine Umpfenbach | Moderation: Tunay Önder

This talk will begin by examining what passes for any education in the sciences across most of the globe, and the justifications that are offered for its place at the curriculum high table. The dominant argument for science education is economic seeing it as essential to providing an educated workforce to meet the technological and scientific needs of contemporary society. An additional but distinct case is the argument that there is a need to develop the scientific and technical knowledge that students will need to deal with the political and moral dilemmas posed by the 5 major challenges facing humanity – the supply of energy, growing sufficient food, providing clean water, sustaining health and dealing with climate change. In this talk, it will be argued that both arguments are flawed. The first, for instance, does not justify teaching the sciences to all students, and the second would demand a very different practice and curriculum than that which is commonly offered. Rather, the case will be developed that the only valid argument for teaching the sciences to all students is one based on their cultural significance – essentially a body of knowledge and understanding that represents one of the major intellectual achievement of humanity and part of the best that is worth knowing. Moreover, this achievement has led to the development of 6 distinct styles of reasoning which are a defining feature of the sciences. Each of these styles of reasoning or argument has required the invention of a set of domain-specific, ontological entities to think with, a body of procedural knowledge to use for the practice of the sciences, and a set of epistemic values and commitments that justify the products of scientific reasoning. It will be shown how styles of reasoning provide a sound basis of an argument for the cultural contribution that the sciences have made and one which would justify the value of an education in the sciences for all students. | Center for Advanced Studies LMU: 07.03.2016 | Speaker: Prof. Jonathan Osborne, Ph.D. | Moderation: Prof. Dr. Frank Fischer

Capitalism is an expansive system: if it is to remain stable, it must continually incorporate new milieus and spheres of life, new social and natural spaces of economic exploitation. But what happens with this “external” element when it becomes an “internal” one? How does it change? And how does it change capitalism in return? | Center for Advanced Studies LMU: 20.01.2016 | Speakers: Prof. Dr. Manuela Boatcă, Prof. Nivedita Menon, Ph.D. | Moderation: Prof. Dr. Christoph Knill

Brains are highly interconnected networks of millions to billions of neurons. How they work and how they process and store information − these questions are addressed differently by both speakers. Alexander Borst is interested in the processing of neuronal information at the level of individual neurons or small neuronal circuits. As an example he will present the structure of the neural circuit and its key elements responsible for performing the computations of photoreceptor signals in the visual system of the fly whereas Moritz Helmstädter develops and applies methods to map neuronal networks at a larger scale. In his talk, he gives insights into the new field of connectomics, the measurement of communication maps of neuronal circuits. | Center for Advanced Studies LMU: 14.01.2016 | Speakers: Prof. Dr. Alexander Borst, Dr. Moritz Helmstädter | Moderation: Prof. Dr. Martin Wirsing

Der moderne Kapitalismus gilt als Effizienzmaschine, als Inbegriff ökonomischer Rationalität. Aber ist diese Rationalität nicht zutiefst irrational? Warum sind wir immer noch geneigt, an hergebrachte Vorstellungen ökonomischer Vernunft zu glauben?

The advanced capitalist economies have seen sinking growth rates for decades, while at the same time, the income and wealth gap has been increasing to a remarkable extent. Is it possible to initiate a new growth cycle on this basis? And can this lead to greater equality? | Center for Advanced Studies LMU: 08.12.2015 | Speaker: Prof. Paul Collier, Prof. Éric Pineault | Moderation: Prof. Uwe Sunde

[Conf.] The New EU Financial Markets Architecture – International Conference | In the past years, global financial markets have seen an unprecedented wave of regulation. Regulators worldwide have significantly expanded regulatory reach to formerly unregulated markets (e.g. OTC markets and dark pools), trading practices (e.g. short sales), and market participants (e.g. fund managers), and intensified existing regulation such as disclosure duties or the ban on presumptively abusive trading practices. In the wake of this flood of ever more detailed and far reaching rules, policy makers, regulators and capital market scholars run the risk of losing sight of the "big picture", the fundamental questions and the overall challenges of financial markets regulation: Who should regulate capital markets? Who should enforce regulation? How much deceleration do financial markets need? How intensely should we regulate the distribution of financial products? What is the proper reach of disclosure duties? | Center for Advanced Studies LMU: 02.07.2015 | Speakers: Peter O. Mülbert, Edward B. Rock | Moderation: Mathias Habersack

The Research Focus "Language: Birth and Decay" is concerned with how the sounds of speech are acquired by infants and young children in first language acquisition, how such acquisition stabilizes in healthy individuals, and how such patterns may dissolve following the onset of brain lesions. Spoken language is a defining human behaviour, and it is the very basis of our interaction with the environment as well as of our identity as individuals. For this reason, it is important to understand both how this faculty emerges during child development and the highly damaging effect that speech disorders have on so many aspects of life. Error patterns when language is learnt and when it unravels in speech disorders also provide a unique window to the mind, and are of prime importance for our emerging understanding of how linguistic diversity arises, how languages change, and how physiology and cognition interact to form the sound patterns of human language. Yet speech acquisition and disorders remain poorly understood because they are usually investigated separately from basic research on speech production and perception in healthy individuals. One of the Research Focus’ principal objectives is to overcome this divide by inviting leading scientists from different disciplinary backgrounds to consider how to develop unified models of child speech acquisition, of the mature speech production and perception system, and of speech disorders. The involved researchers intend to lay the foundations for a comprehensive research program in which modern experimental phonetic thinking hooks up with neurobiological and clinical reasoning, while embracing linguistic diversity. | Center for Advanced Studies LMU: 01.07. 2015 | Speaker: Prof. Klaus Zuberbühler, Ph.D | Moderation: Prof. Dr. Gerhard Jäger

Die Entwicklungsländer leiden unter ganz erheblichen illegalen Kapitalabflüssen, die meistenteils auf Steuerflucht zurückzuführen sind: Multinationale Konzerne verschieben ihre Gewinne in Steueroasen, und reiche Inländer verbergen ihr Vermögen auf Geheimkonten im Ausland. Solche Abflüsse werden auf eine Billion Dollar pro Jahr geschätzt – mehr als ausländische Direktinvestitionen, Heimatüberweisungen und Entwicklungshilfe zusammengenommen. Eine Analyse illegaler Kapitalabflüsse unter dem Gesichtspunkt globaler Gerechtigkeit kann helfen, gebotene Reformen und die Verantwortung für deren Umsetzung genauer zu bestimmen. | Center for Advanced Studies LMU: 14.04.2015 | Referent: Prof. Thomas Pogge, Ph.D. | Moderation: Prof. Dr. Stephan Lessenich
