  Border Textures: Interwoven Practices and Discursive Fabrics of Borders

  2nd World Conference of the Association for Borderlands Studies - Panel

  In view of the current political developments in Europe, the scientific study of borders has increasingly gained importance. Cultural Studies has reacted to these developments by generating complex and more and more detailed theories and tools for describing and analyzing border phenomena. Cultural border studies champion approaches which do not examine spatial, material, temporal or cultural aspects in isolation but investigate their intersectional and performative interactions. This panel provides a space for explorative investigation of potential approaches for cultural border studies, focusing on interactions between material and immaterial manifestations of the border.

  What is Border Studies?

  2nd World Conference of the Association for Borderlands Studies - Panel

  The societal events of the last decade have challenged Border Studies more than ever before. This can be seen not only in the field’s growing institutionalisation but also in its developments in research: these include the relativization of geopolitical perspectives by cultural studies approaches, the spatialisation of the border concept (e.g. zone, third space, exter/internalisation etc.), the decentralisation of the border in favour of processes (e.g. b/ordering, othering etc.), the pluralisation of the border concept (e.g. walls, differences, (dis)continuities, demarcations) or the complexification of the border (e.g. scapes, textures). The panel is treating these developments and other turns as an opportunity for a long-overdue self-examination, which in the light of the resurgence of borders seems necessary from both a societal and scientific perspective.

  Quantification / approximation and nominal groups: trees and forests

  La journée se propose de réunir des linguistes intéressés par les différents aspects de la quantification et de l’approximation, si ce n’est par l’interface entre les deux problématiques, tant dans la sphère du groupe nominal (GN), que par l’intermédiaire de GN (intégrés à des syntagmes adverbiaux à portée émargeant éventuellement le domaine du GN : adverbiaux qui quantifient sur le temps ou sur les événements, approximateurs en tous genres, à portée y compris nominale). Nous employons à bon escient le terme de groupe nominal pour ce qu’il a de vague, en référence à l’analyse en constituants immédiats (syntagme déterminant (SD) à tête fonctionnelle D vs syntagme nominal SN à spécificateur SD).

  History, Memory and Reshaping Identity in Post-Communist Literatures

  CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture Journal, special issue, December 2017

  This volume is intended for both scholars and a general readership interested in contemporary aspects of post-communist literatures from East-Central Europe which witness a special relation between History, Memory and reshaped identity (be it personal or collective). Papers are invited to analyze strategies of remembering communism in different types of discourse, from autobiographical recollections to collective representations which re-define the post-traumatic status of the Eastern intellectuals in relation to the "rediscovered" West and their transition dilemmas.
