Call for Papers: Exile, Nationalism and Cosmopolitanism
Research on migration, diasporas and exile suggests that the specific =
trans-national situation with which exiles are confronted, frequently =
leads to the emergence and development of nationalist or cosmopolitan =
attitudes towards other 'nations' or ethnicities, political and social =
groups. Nineteenth and early twentieth-century national historiography =
suggests that, during the process of nation building and the formation =
of national identities in western Europe, tendencies to develop rival =
national identities in exile were much stronger than in the so-called =
'cosmopolitan age' of the late seventeenth and the eighteenth centuries. =
In the case of the Italian Risorgimento exile in France reinforced those =
exiles' 'nationalism', other groups in diaspora, including the =
Huguenots, who migrated to different European and overseas destinations =
between 1548 and 1787, are identified as 'cosmopolitans'. However, =
closer assessment of diasporic groups and of exile makes evident that =
exiles frequently developed attitudes that would be identified as
simultaneously both cosmopolitan and nationalist.
This conference seeks,
1) To discuss different forms of exile to approach a more differentiated =
perspective on exile and its consequences for groups living in a =
trans-national context. These groups reacted to their circumstances by =
creating a new political, social, economic and/or cultural identity.
2) To define and explain 'nationalism' and the so-called 'rise of the =
nation-state' in the context of 'exile' and diasporic movements.=20
3) To define and explain cultural, political or social 'cosmopolitanism' =
in the context of 'exile' and Diasporas.=20
We invite papers which
1) Offer specific forms of 'exile' including a) 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'=20
b) 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'.=20
Please send an abstract of your paper proposal and a short curriculum =
vitae to
Dr. Susanne Lachenicht (slachenicht@yahoo.com) .
The deadline for proposals is 30 March 2006.
