June 3-5, 2005: Europeanization as Secularization - The arts, sciences, and
the domestication of the cultural "furor" (Zagreb, Croatia)
This workshop organised by the Goethe Institute Zagreb aims to encourage a
critical examination of the roles that cultural production has been playing
in the recent past and will be playing in the near future in the context of
socio-political and economical changes. The workshop addresses students of
social sciences, young scholars in culture-related fields, artists,
journalists, and all those who are interested in a critical discourse about
European culture(s). Short lectures/presentation proposals are welcome on
themes such as: Mapping Europe - cultural geographies and the rise/decline
of the national factor; Urban Centres and rural communities within the
politics of change; The dimension of "European Disintegration"
(anti-European sentiments among Europeans); Artists and writers as "cultural
warriors"; "Entdeutschung" - Subversion and forms of cultural
anti-representation, etc. To send your proposals write to Zoran Terzic,
workshop content coordinator, by sending an email with the subject "workshop
