Warburg-Haus, Hamburg |
| This conference seeks 1) to discuss different forms of exile
and its consequences for groups living in a trans-national context,

diasporic movements, 3) to define and explain cultural, political or
social ‘cosmopolitanism’ in the context of ‘exile’ and Diasporas. Papers are invited which 1) offer specific forms of ‘exile’ including exile beyond the native country; forced exile or voluntary exile, political exile, diasporas and the discrimination of groups abroad that lead to forms of ‘non-voluntary exile; and exile within the native country: ‘inneres Exil’, discrimination of specific groups in their home countries which, in context, led to a variety of forms of ‘exile’; 2) present responses of ‘exiled’ groups to the challenges posed by ‘exile’ – such as acculturation, integration and assimilation, discrimination and concepts of cultural superiority or inferiority developed by both the ‘hosting’ and the ‘hosted’ groups - that could be defined as ‘nationalist’ or ‘cosmopolitan’.

context of Early Modern Europe. Submissions are only accepted from graduate students Deadline for proposals: January 15, 2006 For more information: http://www.h-net.org/announce/show.cgi?ID=148746 |
