In the United States in particul ar\, this conflict has sown profound divisions between the actors of the s taunch two-party system\, which are not only political but have taken on a distinctly cultural hue. As the 2020 presidential elections results have clearly illustrated\, this divide is deeply entrenched in the political la ndscape and does not show signs of easing.\nWhen policy debates devolve in to winner-take-all showdowns\, the lessons learned by the political partie s tend to drive them further apart. From the realm of foreign policy to th e politics of identity\, unresolved questions haunt our systems: Are we be coming inured to the reality of an increasingly divided society? Where doe s popular sovereignty truly reside? With the current pique of charismatic chief executives and constitutional crises in the democratic and democrati zing world\, echoes of Carl Schmitt reverberate in the chambers of parliam ent and the halls of justice. Democracies that prize political majoritaria nism without protecting voices of the minority encourage defeatism. Racial tensions have come to the fore in an already fraught political climate an d will affect to a large extent people’s electoral habits\, perhaps with t he emergence of new and unseen voting patterns. Does a Biden presidency ha ve the tools and political grounding to begin facing these difficult quest ions? Or have the political echo chambers become too divergent?\nAGENDA\nH ours are indicated in Eastern Standard Time &\; Central European Time\, respectively\n23 November\n11:30am-11:55am | 17:30-17:55\nWelcome remarks \nGiancarlo Bosetti\, Reset DOC\nDavid Freedberg\, The Italian Academy at Columbia University\nFerdinando Salleo\, Centro Studi Americani\n \;\n 11:55am-12:55am | 17:55-18:55\nRound Table\nThe US after November 3rd: Wil l the Healing Begin?\nMichael Walzer (Introductory Remarks)\nLisa Anderson \, Seyla Benhabib\, Jelani Cobb\, Jedediah Purdy\nChair: Marina Calloni\n& nbsp\;\n5 minute break\n \;\n1:00pm-2:00pm | 19:00-20:00\nRound Table \nThe Future of Atlantic Relations\nGiuliano Amato\, Craig Calhoun\, Feder ico Rampini\, Torrey Taussig\nChair: Maria Latella\n***\n24 November\n11:3 0am-12:30am | 17:30-18:30\nRound Table\nThe Divided Society\nMark Lilla (K eynote Speech)\nAnthony Appiah\, Sheri Berman\, Ian Buruma\nChair: Giusepp e Sarcina\n \;\n5 minute break\n \;\n12:35pm-1:35pm | 18:35-19:35 \nRound Table\nInequality\, Caste and Democracy\nDaron Acemoğlu (Keynote S peech)\nSudipta Kaviraj\, Michèle Lamont\, Rahsaan Maxwell\nChair: José Ca sanova\n \;\n1:35pm-2:00pm | 19:35 -20:00\nClosing remarks\nGiancarlo Bosetti\nDavid Freedberg\nConfirmed Speakers:\nDaron Acemoğlu • Giuliano A mato • Lisa Anderson • Anthony Appiah • Seyla Benhabib • Sheri Berman • Ia n Buruma • Craig Calhoun • Marina Calloni • José Casanova • Jelani Cobb • Sudipta Kaviraj • Michèle Lamont • Maria Latella • Mark Lilla • Rahsaan Ma xwell • Jedediah Purdy • Federico Rampini • Giuseppe Sarcina • Torrey Taus sig • Michael Walzer https://www.takethedate.it/Eventi/23181-the-divided-s ociety-after-3-november.html DTSTART:20201123T103000Z DTEND:20201124T193000Z LOCATION:online () SUMMARY:The Divided Society after 3 November  URL:https://www.takethedate.it/Eventi/23181-the-divided-society-after-3-nov ember.html END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
