Compromise is omnipresent, but little researched in the academic field. The interdisciplinary collaborative project \u201cCultures of Compromise\u201d of the University of Duisburg-Essen, the University of M\u00fcnster and the Ruhr University Bochum is addressing this research gap. From 21 to 23 June 2023, the project will host the international conference \u201cHistory and Theory of Compromises\u201d in Essen.<\/p>\n
In three keynote lectures and twelve presentations, the phenomenon of compromise will be examined from a theoretical and a historical perspective, casting compromise as an essential cultural technique for regulating tangible as well as latent and smouldering forms of conflict. A compromise is an agreement in which the participants nevertheless hold on to their original claims. Therefore, a compromise demands concessions to the other side\u2019s point of view. Through these often-painful concessions, a compromise allows two or more parties to overcome a situation that is considered problematic. During the conference, the premises, conditions, and consequences of compromise will be explored in theory and through historical examples from Europe, Africa, and Asia.<\/p>\n
The three keynotes are public and will also be broadcast via Zoom. The conference itself will take place in person at the Institute for Advanced Study in the Humanities (KWI) in Essen.<\/p>\n
