International Conference
EUROPE AND ITS OTHERS. INTERPERCEPTIONS PAST, PRESENT,
FUTURE
6-8 JULY 2007
NEW HALL & THE GATEWAY
SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS
‘Europe and its Others’ is an international conference
in the area of
literary and film studies, covering the main European
languages
(English,
French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian and
Spanish). It sets
decipherers of Europe’s cultural traditions in
interdisciplinary
dialogue
with historians, political scientists, social
anthropologists, culture
theorists, and international relationists. Through the
mirroring
representations of Europe’s cultural production, we
aim to explore a
nexus
of particularly rich and complex self-and-other
relationships:
diverse in
space, multiple in its scenes, actors, dimensions;
and evolving in
time. We wish to understand something about how the
Other-encounters,
perceptions and relationships of Europe function - a
‘poetics’ of
collective, culturally formed and informed
‘identities’.
We welcome proposals for papers (a 300-word abstract)
to be submitted
to
the Convenors of the 10 symposia that are being
organised by 29
September
2006. We hope to have a definitive programme in place
by November.
It is the intention of the organisers to edit a series
of books, either
region or discipline-based, using as a basis a
selection of papers
given at
the conference. Each is intended to profit from, and
to exploit
diversely,
the overarching perspectives explored.
The Conference Registration (Full Board) 6-8 July 2007
will come to
£200.00.
