Subject: UPDATE: Globalization and Nationalisms (Spain) (5/1/01;
11/8/01-11/10/01)
II International Conference on Postcolonial Studies
Globalization and Nationalisms
University of Vigo (Spain)
8-10 November 2001
The Second International Conference on Postcolonial Studies seeks to
create a space for discussion and exchange of perspectives about the
diverse theoretical and critical approaches to the phenomena of
globalization and nationalisms in contemporary societies. The aim is to
go deep into the analysis of the manifestations and effects of these two
currents with an interdisciplinary approach that encompasses the fields
of culture, economy, politics, history, the arts, etc.
The topic of this Second Conference refers to the tensions existing
between, on the one hand, the contemporary system of global economy and
the subsequent political and cultural neoimperialism, and, on the other
hand, the resistance put up by the identities that define themselves
from local and community positions. Some topics we propose for
consideration are the following:
- Relationships between nationalism, multiculturalism and globalization
- Revisions of the concept of the nation-state
- New notions of citizenship
- The new economic and cultural imperialism
- Feminisms and globalization/nationalisms
- Race, ethnicity and global/local culture
- The role of languages in the new identities
- The tensions between the local and the global in literature and the
arts
We invite proposals for 20-minute papers analyzing these and other
related questions in any field of knowledge.
