This contribution was delivered on 6 May 2022 on the occasion of the hybrid 2022 edition of EUI State of the Union on ‘A Europe fit for the next generation?' What can history teach us about the importance of democracy and rule of law as characteristics of European political life? What is at stake? History has often been our guide, offering a benchmark for worst and best practice. In this session, world-leading scholars of Europe, law and democracy, canvas the different contexts in which the rule of law has come under pressure in Europe, whether in the context of security and fighting terror, pitting nationalism against integration, or dealing with Europe’s often violent past. They will also ask: can we learn from the past when we are thinking of the present and future of Europe? What lens should we use to help better understand the authority of the rule of law, the significance of democracy and its alternatives today?

On May 6, 2021, The Ume Group Playback Ensemble, a branch of the New York City-based physical theatre company, The Ume Group (theumegroup.org), gave a commissioned performance for alumni of Virginia Tech’s College of Liberal Arts & Human Sciences as part of the lead-up to the university’s 150 year anniversary celebrations. The performance was sponsored by the Virginia Tech History Council with support from the School of Performing Arts. The performance begins with a soundscape overture featuring a new version of “Tech Triumph” (the Virginia Tech Fight Song composed in 1919 by Wilfred Pete Maddux and Mattie Eppes) adapted for this event by The Ume Group’s Kate Douglas, along with excerpts from the VT Stories Oral History Project (vtstories.org) and other found texts voiced live by the Ume Group actors.

En esta charla daremos a conocer los principales hallazgos efectuados -desde puestos caravaneros a emporios persas, pasando por un santuario prehistórico- y explicaremos de qué manera nos permitirán cambiar algunas de las perspectivas que hasta ahora se tenían sobre los procesos sociales en la costa africana del Océano Índico.
