Under the theme听"Transnationalism(s): Contexts, Patterns and Connections in Central and Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet Union", the 14th International Postgraduate Conference will bring together postgraduate students to present cutting-edge research in the field of East European Studies.听
Thinking beyond 鈥渢he national鈥 is here to stay. Though recent events in Central and Eastern Europe and the post-Soviet space have brought the continued relevance of borders into stark relief, we are more than ever in need of a toolkit that makes sense of processes, events and patterns occurring and recurring beyond the nation-state. At the same time, when dealing with the already-ambiguous and contested limits of 鈥淐entral Europe鈥, 鈥淓astern Europe鈥, 鈥渢he Balkans鈥, or 鈥渢he Caucasus鈥, thinking transnationally may also transform previous notions of 鈥渞egion鈥. The aim of our conference is to debate both the concrete and the theoretical issues that stem from de-centring and re-contextualising both the nation-state, and other sub-ordinate and super-ordinate levels of analysis.
Keynote speakers
Laszlo Kontler (Central European University)鈥
