CALL FOR PAPERS
3rd Limerick Conference in Irish-German Studies, 4-6. April 2002:
Ireland and the German-speaking countries -
Questions of cultural identity in Ireland, Austria and Switzerland -
The Centre for Irish-German Studies at the University of Limerick focuses on
relations between Ireland and the German-speaking countries. German-Irish
Studies are often seen as only concentrating on relations between Germany
and Ireland. In our 3rd Limerick conference we therefore aim to concentrate
especially on Austrian-Irish and Swiss-Irish relations.
We invite papers in English or German on the following themes:
* Irish-Austrian or Irish-Swiss relations - cultural, historical,
political aspects (preferably taking into account influences and
interpretations of these relations in debates of self-image)
* Questions of cultural identity in Ireland, Austria, and Switzerland
(preferably on a comparative basis)
especially in the areas of
* cultural traditions / language policy
* political system and international relations
* conflict resolution / security policy
* national economy / currencies
