Conference announcement/call for papers:

Images of Imperial Legacy

An international interdisciplinary conference on ideas and representations
of the legacies of the Ottoman and Habsburg empires in South Eastern
Europe.

Copenhagen, May 20-21, 2005.

Most of South Eastern Europe has until the 19th century, and in many
places until 1917, been part of a multinational empire. The Ottoman and
the Habsburg empires dominated the history of these areas for hundreds of
years and naturally left great imprints on societies there. 
   As the young nation states of South Eastern Europe have later defined
and presented their individual identities, the imperial legacies have
consistently been central - in negative as well as in positive
perceptions. Imperial history has been evoked in arguments about
civilization and cultural belonging, but also in attempts to distance some
nations and groups from others. In this way representations of imperial
heritage are also connected to identity construction, cultural politics,
and relations both between nations and states and between minority and
majority groups.
   This conference will investigate and discuss how imperial heritage has
been imagined and represented within different states, nations and other
groups in South Eastern Europe throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. Its
particular aims will be to address the questions of how such images are
employed in representations of the character and identity of one€ ¦’²s own
group and others, how images have been stable or changing, and how they
have related to regional and international political circumstances.
   The theme of the conference calls for a comparative and
interdisciplinary approach. We wish to analyse the images of two quite
different, but both multinational, empires, within an area of national as
well as multinational states and of communist and non-communist post-war
histories. Ideas of imperial heritage are produced and presented in a
variety of fields: historiography, literature, politics, public debate,
and others. In order to appreciate the multifaceted character of its theme
the conference will involve several scientific disciplines, bringing
together scholars of history, language and literature, sociology and
political science.
   By establishing a broad forum for investigating images of imperial
heritage within South Eastern Europe€ ¦’²s complexity of fields and contexts
the conference should be able to shed new light on central issues in the
modern history of this area and, more generally, on the relations between
image-making and political and historical circumstances.

The conference is organised by the Department of East European Studies,
University of Copenhagen, and the Institute of History and Area Studies,
University of Aarhus. 

The conference is open. The working language will be English. We welcome
proposals for presentations of a general relevance to the topic and the
geographical area € ¦’¶ South Eastern Europe including Turkey € ¦’¶ as well as
specific case studies within this field. Scholars and students who wish to
give a talk at the conference should send a short abstract of their
presentation to the conference secretary, Tea Sindbaek, either by email
to: [ mailto:histts@hum.au.dk ]histts@hum.au.dk (please mark the message
€ ¦’±S.E.E. Conference€ ¦’²) or by ordinary mail to: 
S.E.E. Conference
Department of East European Studies
University of Copenhagen
Snorresgade 17-19
2300 Copenhagen S
Denmark

Please send your proposal before November 19 2004.

On behalf of the organisers, 

Per Jacobsen

Copenhagen/
