An international research workshop with a clear focus on power, markets, and narratives
From June 22 to June 24, 2026, the Center for Interdisciplinary Research in Bielefeld will bring a conference to the forefront of the debate that goes far beyond classical drug-war rhetoric. Undoing Militarized Narconarratives: Outlines of the Popular in Illegalized Markets combines workshop, conference, and academic exchange into a dense event experience in the plenary hall of the ZiF.
Between illegality and everyday life
The event focuses on the gray area between legal and illegalized markets. The focus is on the consequences of prohibition policies, militarization, and security-related narratives for violence, inequality, and governance. This analytical sharpness makes the event particularly relevant for researchers, students, and interested citizens.
Interdisciplinary, international, discussion-rich
The Long-Term Group Dimensions of Regulation: Conceptualizing the Popular in the Drugs/Violence Nexus opens up a space for perspectives from different disciplines with this conference. Among others, Rita Laura Segato, Seth Harp, Luci Cavallero, and Luca Trenta are mentioned. This promises not only expertise but also a lively audience atmosphere and intensive debates on dominant narratives, security logics, and societal consequences.
The venue: ZiF as a stage for scientific depth
The Center for Interdisciplinary Research at the University of Bielefeld is regarded as an independent, thematically open research institution with an international focus. The plenary hall provides the appropriate setting for such formats: concentrated, academic, and open to public participation. Arrival by bus and tram is easily possible; for drivers, various parking garages and spaces are available in Bielefeld.
Conclusion: A must-attend event for all who want to understand social conflicts anew
Anyone interested in critical social research, international conference culture, and the mechanisms of illegalized markets will find a strong program with high relevance here. Undoing Militarized Narconarratives offers analysis, exchange, and new perspectives - live at the ZiF in Bielefeld.
