BETWEEN SOCIAL CHANGE AND NATIONALISM
Conference Call for Papers
In Honour of Dr. Michalis Attalides
Organized by Cyprus Sociological Association
Conference outline and aims
This is a call for conference papers intending to reassess, expand or
critically transcend the pioneering contribution to Cypriot sociology made
by Michael Attalides.
Attalides work recomposes dialectical moments of space, time and social
being, namely geography, history and society thus periodizing dramatic
changes in the experience of Cypriot modernity. Expected conference
contributions may specialize or historicize accordingly, elaborate
conceptually or empirically on uncharted areas submerged in his work, add
comparative to local perspectives, or rethink and reevaluate an already
existing legacy upon which a new generation of sociologists found solid and
reliable premises to punctuate from different angles the contradictory
processes and meanings of modernization.
Conference themes might include:
Social change/social institutions
Urban sociology/anthropology
Nationalism/irredentism
Geopolitics/state-building (or state-destroying)
Identity politics/postcolonial theory
Social theory/psychoanalysis
Political parties
