invite proposals for papers for a major interdisciplinary
conference:

Image and identity in contemporary Europe

7-9 September 2006

KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

Professor Tom Devine (Celtic Studies, Aberdeen/Edinburgh)
Professor Mike Savage (Sociology, Manchester)
Professor Stefan Berger (German, Manchester)
Professor Stephen Gundle (Italian, Royal Holloway)
Dr Luis Pérez González (Translation Studies, Manchester)

The beginning of a new century, and even more so, that of a
new millennium, inevitably promotes the reassessment of
certain values and beliefs, as well as a revisiting of the
past. This is particularly the case when this pivotal point
coincides with political and economic changes, such as the
establishment of new governing structures and parties.
The expansion of the EU and the re-emergence of
regionalisms have stimulated reflections on issues of identity,
citizenship, nationality and globalization. This conference
will focus on how individual states (or national groups
within states) perceive themselves and/or are perceived
by others since the Second World War. Whilst speakers may
choose to address the construction of identities through
historical discourse, state building, institutional
development, music or literary forms, the conference
would especially like to encourage a debate on the role
of visual media, such as cinema, photography and the
internet in the creation/representation of identity.

Speakers should address one of the following areas:

- Identity and Nation-building: constructing national
identity in newly created states (as in Eastern Europe);
identity development and decentralised governance (as within
the UK or Spain); civil society and identity; national
histories and identity; art, museums, architecture and
physical representations of identity; religion, language,
literature, myth and history in the preservation of
identities; issues of integration and ethnicity; regional
identities and the problems of nation-building; Britishness
before and after devolution; 'European', national and
transnational identities.

- History and Memory: the role of memory in the creation
of personal and national identities; the relationship
between individual and collective identities; the
relationship between micro/macro histories; the
representation of historical events and their
significance in a given cultural production; the
experience of tradition; memory and forgetting: the
role of oblivion in the construction of identity; whether
national identity is now a superseded notion?

- Symbol, Image and Translation: questions of visual and
iconic communication; national identities and issues of
transnational mediation; audiovisual translation in
communication industries, including TV, film, and the
Internet; the role of translation in the construction of
Europe's cultural and economic landscape via
audiovisual/multimedia material.

We invite proposals for 20-minute papers. Interdisciplinary
and/or comparative approaches are particularly welcome
Please send a 300-500 word abstract to one of the following
addresses:

Dr Laura Rorato: l.rorato at bangor.ac.uk
Dr Carol Tully: c.tully at bangor.ac.uk

Deadline: 31 March 2006 (the selection panel will finalise
the provisional programme by 30 April 2006)
