Dear Colleagues,
It is our great pleasure to let you know that, from 26 to 29 of  November
2008, it will take place in Craiova the Third International Conference in
Ethnology and Anthropology AnthropoEast: The Europenisation of Balkans 
The Balkanisation of Europe.

Organised by the The Museum of  Oltenia  The Department of Ethnography,
The University of Craiova and the Centre for Studies in Folklife and
Traditional Culture of the County of Dolj with the support of the County
of Dolj Council, our conferences aim is to create a debate framework for
academics both from Romania and from abroad, who are concerned with the
(re)defining of the epistemological limits of the research field each of
them  cover.

Several themes should be taken into consideration:

I.                     (Multi)Cultural Europe. Rhetorics and Practice of
Diversity
 Migrations and the Construction of Ethnic Groups in the New Europe

Rituals, Narratives, Discourses and Material Culture

Negotiating  Identity in the New Europe

Interpreting Religious Diversity: Conversion, Syncretism and Religious
Practice

II. A New Europe  A New Anthropology ?!

                               My Home, Your Country, Our Museum.
Migration Flow and Museums

                               Poetics and Politics in the New Anthropology

Without having any intention to cover the entire problems of the
anthropological research in the South-Eastern Europe, the conference  we 
organise is intended to be only a simple X-raying of the discipline as it
looks like at the beginning of the Century.
Papers will be given in English and they are not to exceed 20 minutes of
time.

In order to improve communication we are going to edit and publish the
volume of the conference,Symposia. Studies in Ethnology and Anthropology,
issue no. 1/2008 in advance, so that each participant should have it in
its conference portfolio. That is why the papers to be presented during
the conference, the in extenso copy, should be submitted to our editorial
board by September 15, 2008.

The submitters should send the papers to the publisher at the following
address:
- Mihai Fifor, general manager
