Dear all,





The applications are open for the following Summer School. I have been last year, and it is a great, fun, eye-opening, interdisciplinary summer school in a beautiful village in Romania, in the Eastern Carpathians (quite easy to get there from Cluj Napoca, which is a big city, by a 3 and a half hour train), that engages with ideas of rurality, periphery, and otherness, while actually taking place in a rural, peripheric area, and really attempts to engage with the community where it takes place. It is organised by young academics in history, philosophy, the arts, and the social sciences – through the Centre for the Study of Modernity and the Rural World – and supported by more established academics  (they are all on the webpage so you can check them out), and it provides a vivacious interdisciplinary medium for the discussion of peripheries, while undertaking a critical revalorisation of rurality. It has seminars, workshops, lots of art stuff like political art theatres, journal, and documentaries, so it is pretty cool.

The 2017 edition of the Telciu Summer School focuses on the historical, social and economical positionalities of peripheries and rurality in the context of a changing idea of Europe. What differing histories are able to confront the recent wave of isolationism and protectionism, the rise of European ethno-nationalisms and of polarizing ideas such as “two-speed Europe”, as well as the continuous encroachments on the commons, natural resources and subsistence economies? How do the “East”, the “South” and the “others” of Europe, including its internal and colonial others, redefine the meaning of Europe? The Telciu Summer School is interested in giving priority and documenting the different answers of local histories to global designs, imperial inheritances and state plans, connecting the locality of Telciu with significant projects of modernization and the regional and international histories of the participants to the Summer School.
