Host: The Baltic Center for North American Studies, University of Tartu
Description:
The conference theme is meant to be interpreted broadly from an
interdisciplinary perspective. The conference aims at bringing together
scholars from different subject areas (cultural studies, sociology,
literature, history, etc.). We would like to be seeking possible points of
convergence in the proverbial diffuseness of the globalizing world. This
would include cross-fertilization between different yet not necessarily
mutually exclusive academic discourses. The conference strives to
encourage a dialogue between the participants of the conference on the
interrelatedness and the processes of mutual impact between divergent
identities (gender, race, class, language), examine chances of forging
new composite identities (as manifested in society, culture, literature),
explore different perspectives of/on North America and Europe and
European-American relationship in a variety of areas (culture, political,
economic) on a national and personal level, chart converging media
space in the transnationalizing world. Any other related suggestions are
also welcome.
