Call for Papers: for 32nd International Conference of Europeanists, June 16-18, 2025, University College Dublin
The European Culture Research Network (ECRN) of the Council for European Studies invites submissions for papers for the 32nd International Conference of Europeanists The ECRN invites submissions for a mini-symposium on:
“Integrity, Solidarity, and Unity for and against Europe’
This mini-symposium aims to address the general topic of the conference highlighting a relation to questions of culture. How are integrity, solidarity, and unity formed as imaginaries of Europe, past, present, and future? How is culture deployed to generate and promote projects of integrity, solidarity and unity? What hopes and realities have arisen in and about European culture over time? Aware that solidarities often form in opposition to the EU, or to Europe in general, we further seek contributions that address the difficulties of forming a European “we,” or papers that address alternatives to the European unity.
Please send proposals for the mini-symposium by October 1 to: Berna Gueneli <Berna.Gueneli@uga.edu>; Halle, Randall N <rhalle@pitt.edu>; Claske Vos <C.Vos@uva.nl>; Davidson, John <davidson.92@osu.edu> You will submit proposals directly to the Council for European Studies by Oct 8
We encourage critical approaches that acknowledge the dual potential of culture which can reinforce exclusionary nationalisms, mnemonic conflicts, and ethno-symbolic boundaries, while also enabling cosmopolitan imaginaries, critical engagements with the past, and spaces of intercultural dialogue. Additionally, we value papers that address the global entanglements of Europe and the impact of de-colonizing practices and knowledges and how these impact on notions of integrity, solidarity and unity.
