6 November 2020 - Palma, Spain
organised by
The British and Comparative Cultural Studies Research Group (BRICCS),
Unversity of the Balearic Islands, Spain
in collaboration with
Research Project RTI2018-097186-B-I00 and RED2018-102678-T
(MCI/AEI/ERDF, EU)
The conference seeks to explore the narratives of displacement and to demonstrate
the validity of a cross-disciplinary approach which brings together the
historical, cultural, social and literary expertise in the handling of text.
The conference will particularly focus on time and space representations and on
treatment of the theme of cultural ambivalence and identity conflict. The
subject of displacement will be regarded as both a migration, voluntary or
forced, and a sense of being socially or culturally “out of place”.
Papers are invited on topics related, but not limited, to:
- migrations and deportations (expatriation, expulsion, exile, etc.)
- journeys, pilgrimages, missions
- mobility and place
- rootlessness and taking root
- foreignness and indigeneity
- (re)settlement and (non)residence
- nomadism and place attachment
- hotels, guesthouses, shelters
- multiculturalism, interculturalism, transculturalism
- strangerhood and neo-cosmopolitanism
Submissions may be proposed in various formats, including:
- Individually submitted papers (organised into panels by the committee)
- Panels (3-4 individual papers)
- Posters
The conference aims to bring together scholars from different fields. We
invite proposals from various disciplines including history, philosophy,
sociology, anthropology, culture studies, media studies, political science,
law, architecture, tourism, religious studies, literature, linguistics,
psychology, etc.
