2024-05-081h 01EuroStorie PodcastSovereignty, Time, and the Death of Empire in EuropeIn the last episode of this EuroStorie Podcast season, we get to talk with Natasha Wheatley about the relationship between law, time, and the state. How do we understand a sovereign state as being both a ”timeless” as well as a ”historical” political entity? What happens when a sovereign political entity suddenly dies? How does law relate to these questions? And can sovereignty transfigure time through international law? We explore these questions against the backdrop of 19th century Europe by focusing on some of the events that subsequently ensued: the collapse of the Habsburg Empire after the First World War and...
2022-11-2537 minEuroStorie PodcastWhat is biopolitics?In this episode of the EuroStorie Podcast, we get to know Marco Piasentier, the new team leader of Subproject 2, Discovering the Limits of Reason – Europe and the Crisis of Universalism, who helps us unpack the concept of biopolitics. Drawing from the enquiries developed by Michel Foucault in the 1970s, biopolitics refers to perspectives concerned with the entrance of biological life into the sphere of political techniques. We ask questions such as: How has biopolitics emerged in the course of European history? And what is the relationship between biopolitics and the revolutions in scientific thought that occurred during the 16th an...

Tiedekulma podcastKeitä Euroopassa autetaan?Vuoden 2022 tapahtumat ovat nostaneet toistuvasti esiin kysymyksiä siitä, missä kulkevat eurooppalaisen yhteisön ulkoiset ja sisäiset rajat. Ukrainalaisten laajamittainen auttaminen on tehnyt näkyväksi sen, miten eri tavalla Euroopassa on suhtauduttu sodalta turvaa hakeviin.
Keitä Euroopassa autetaan ja millä ehdoin? Millaisia solidaarisuuden rajoja Euroopan sisällä kulkee? Mikä merkitys EU-jäsenyydellä on kriisitilanteessa?
Näistä aiheista puhuttiin Tiedekulman ja Helsingin yliopiston Eurooppa-tutkimuksen keskuksen Pinnalla-sarjan tapahtumassa. Keskustelemassa ovat akatemiatutkija Timo Miettinen, vastaava tutkija Miika Tervonen ja tutkijatohtori Johanna Vuorelma. Insertissä kuullaan EuroStorie-huippuyksikön väitöskirjatutkija Laura Sumaria.

2022-10-271h 04EuroStorie PodcastLegal Imagination and the History of International PowerIn this episode of the EuroStorie Podcast we talk to Martti Koskenniemi about legal imagination and how it relates to the formation of international law as a discipline. Additionally, we discuss the different ways the basic structures of international power – sovereignty and property – have been conceptualized, and how the history of legal imagination can help us better understand the nature of these concepts and their uses.

2022-10-2532 minEuroStorie PodcastSocialist Justice in the GDRIn this first episode of the new EuroStorie Podcast season we dive into the history of East Germany, more specifically we tackle some of the narratives when trying to conceptualize “socialist justice” in the GDR. How did the judicial system of the GDR come into being? How did the GDR manage to engage people in upholding and supporting the moral values of the socialist legal system? More importantly, what role does the socialist “legal consciousness” (Rechtsbewusstsein) play in legal practice? University researcher and EuroStorie team leader Ville Erkkilä helps us answer these questions by giving perspectives on socialist justice through t...

EuroStorie PodcastWhat is Sustainability? An Anthropologist’s Guide to Culture and the EnvironmentSustainability is a key goal in much contemporary social and political decision-making, from EU climate policy to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. But the term has many different meanings and uses. In this episode of the EuroStorie Podcast, legal anthropologist and sustainability specialist Professor Reetta Toivanen shares her insights on the concept of cultural sustainability, how it intersects with environmental protection and human rights, and how anthropologists approach the study of Europe.
2021-11-0242 minEuroStorie PodcastVaccine Hesitancy, Health, and Human RightsThe development and distribution of several effective vaccinations for Covid-19 means managing and living with the virus might finally be a tangible possibility. But the politics of ‘vaccine nationalism’ means distribution of the vaccine around the world has been highly uneven, while in Europe and other countries where they are widely available, there are many who worry about the safety, efficacy and accessibility of vaccinations. In this episode, we talk to Professor Pamela Slotte about her research on vaccine hesitancy and personal convictions, and connect the discussion to broader themes of public health, trust, and human rights in Europe.
2021-08-1045 minEuroStorie PodcastIs This Building European? Architecture, Europe and EmpireWhat can architecture teach us about contemporary debates about national identity, Europe, and empire? Is early Roman architecture part of the legacy of Europe’s ‘common heritage’ as much as Roman law and politics? What makes a building look ‘Roman’, ‘German’, ‘Finnish’ or ‘European’? Juhana Heikonen will help us understand all these questions and more, drawing on his expertise as an architect and collaborator with the Law, Governance and Space project hosted at the University of Helsinki.
2021-06-0849 minEuroStorie PodcastVisions of Europe! Politics and Identity at the Eurovision Song ContestThe longest-running international televised event in the world, the Eurovision Song Contest is famous for dramatic key changes and fiercely competitive bloc-voting. But what does it have to do with European cooperation and identity? How do stories of Europe and national identity play out on the musical stage? How can a contest that claims to be ‘non-political’ also claim to be part of the intrinsically political narrative of common European identity? And what is Australia doing in a competition for Europeans? This episode explores the history and politics of the ESC since it started in 1956, unpacking its dual roles in p...
2021-05-1158 minEuroStorie PodcastBelonging, Community and Solidarity: Queer Experiences of MigrationIn this episode, Ali Ali talks to us about his research on the themes of belonging, community and solidarity in the lives of exiles and migrants who identify as queer or sexually non-normative. Critiquing dominant narratives of Europe as a place of security, freedom and justice, Ali explains what protracted processing periods and legal limbos, complicated state bureaucracies, and societal assumptions about the ‘authenticity’ or ‘deservingness’ of queer asylum claims do to people’s senses of safety, community, and self. He also shows us how intersections between the experiences of sexually non-normative migrants and other migrant experiences can shed light on h...
2021-04-1351 minEuroStorie PodcastEuropean Disintegration?Is Differentiated Integration the Answer to Euroscepticism?
Differentiated integration is an important part of understanding how an ever-larger European Union copes (or fails to cope) with the diversity of interests and resources among its 27 Member States. But the idea that not all states are able or want to integrate at the same pace or to the same degree is also one of the core tensions underpinning crises such as Brexit, Eurozone inequality, and rising nationalism and Euroscepticism. In the first episode of the EuroStorie Podcast Season 2, we talk to Dr Benjamin Leruth from the University of Groningen...
2021-03-0952 minEuroStorie PodcastStriving for whitenessThe Finnish labor market is predominantly white and discrimination based on someone's ethnicity or skin color is not a new phenomenon. Having studied Russian-speaking migrants in Helsinki and Ukrainians in Warsaw, researcher Daria Krivonos talks with us about why and how migrants strive for whiteness in their new host country. Racialization and institutional racism are visible not only in the labor market but also in the conceptualizations of Europeanness and the division between East and West.
2020-11-2640 minEuroStorie PodcastPopulism through a philosophical lensThere seem to be as many definitions of populism as there are researchers of it. As a concept it is widely used in the current European politics and therefore it deserves a thorough, even philosophical consideration of it. Helping us with that task is PhD student Tuukka Brunila from EuroStorie. How does populism relate to the de-politicization of certain questions? We have all heard of right-wing populism, but is there something called left-wing populism as well? If everything is political, how can we distinguish good policies from bad ones?

What comes after Europe, what kinds of other geographical powers affect global flows of movement? Researcher Samuli Schielke’s work in Egypt brings new perspectives to thinking about Europe. We discuss Eurocentrism, people’s hopes and dreams of a better life and the limits of economic growth and natural resources.
2020-09-1835 minEuroStorie PodcastLiberties versus restrictionsIn this episode, scholar Timo Miettinen offers some perspectives for understanding the balancing between individual liberties versus restrictions during the global pandemic. Going into discussions of liberalism and universalism, we talk about state intervention, trust towards political leaders and the juxtaposition between “the obedient North” and the “irresponsible South” in Europe.
2020-08-2641 minEuroStorie PodcastThe many faces of migrationIn the second episode, we discuss migration, refugee knowledge and European border control with Dr. Magdalena Kmak, the team leader of subproject 3 in EuroStorie. How do we label and categorize refugees and migrants? Who is welcome to Europe and who is excluded, and on what basis? How could we best handle exceptional situations like the COVID-19 pandemic and protect all humans, including those forced to leave their home countries?
2020-08-0543 minEuroStorie PodcastEurope, its hopes and fearsIn the very first episode of the EuroStorie Podcast, we, together with Dr. Kaius Tuori, already tackle some big current questions: How can the previous European crises help us navigate the most recent one, the COVID-19 crisis? What kind of effects do the nationalism movements of today have on European integration? And, how has the relationship between Europe and the US evolved in the recent decades and what could we learn from America?
