  Imagined Identities and Communities in the Late Middle Ages

  On December 9 and 10 of this year, the “Cultures i Societats de l'Edat Mitjana” (CiSEM) research group, led by Dr. Antoni Furió, professor of medieval history at the University of Valencia, will hold a conference with the title: Imagined Identities and Imagined Communities in the Late Middle Ages.  Far from being strictly contemporary creations, nations, the most elaborated product of imagined communities, had their relevance throughout the medieval centuries. The most recent historiography has tried to establish the mechanisms that contributed to building this type of imaginary in which, according to some anthropologists, sociologists and political scientists, collective identities are taking an increasingly prominent role in international geopolitics. For this reason, this process is presented as a great opportunity to discuss the most recent historiographical contributions, and to try to shed more light on a transcendental historical phenomenon on the evolution of human societies.

  Identidades inestables

  Avatares y evoluciones de la subjetividad en las narrativas ibéricas actuales

  ¿Por qué tanto razonar sobre la identidad en las últimas décadas, se pregunta Zygmunt Bauman? Quizá porque, contesta, uno se da cuenta de las cosas cuando éstas ya se han alterado o han dejado de existir. Esta toma de conciencia de un desorden o una ausencia coincide, añade Bauman, con la dislocación epistémica que constituyó el paso de la "era sólida" a una "líquida". Este coloquio internacional se propone debatir en torno a los modos en que se configura la representación de la subjetividad en la narrativa actual y a sus posiciones con respecto a la realidad.
