CfP: Constructing a Collective European Imaginary (from the 1940s through
the Present)

This conference is the final academic event in a series of scientific
gatherings initiated by the Paris-based cultural association Lubliniana and
devoted to the construction of a collective European imaginary, from the
late Middle Ages through the 21st century. While the previous editions of
the project (Paris 2009, Lublin 2010, Gotha 2011) dealt extensively with
cultural and artistic exchanges and interactions between the Roman, German,
and Slavic parts of Europe throughout the early modern and the modern
period (with particular attention to France, Germany, and Poland), the
concluding symposium will shift focus to contemporary Europe and will look
into the ways in which the continent currently acts-or fails to act-as a
transnational site of cultural identification and imagination. Co-organized
by the Lubliniana association, KU Leuven, Vrije Universiteit Brussel,
Université Libre de Bruxelles, and Université de Liège, the conference will
take place in Leuven, Belgium, September 25-27, 2014.
