CALL FOR PAPERS

International Conference
Romanian Identity in the Wider European Context
November 21-23, 2008
Babes-Bolyai University
Cluj-Napoca, Romania

Identity is a contemporary problematic approached almost everywhere in the
world as post-modernism, regional integration, and globalization bring new
challenges to national identities. We speak more  and more about the
identity crisis at various levels and multiple explanations, causes and
implications were identified.
In this context, the Centre for Political Analysis launches a debate
regarding the issue of Romanian identity in the European context, trying
to answer questions like: Who are we, the Romanians? What is the substance
of our national identity? What brings us together and what differentiates
us from the rest of the EU and Europe? What can Europe provide and what
can we provide? Do Romania and Europe face an identity crisis?
Given the topic, we choose a multi and inter-dissciplinary approach that
results in eight broader topics that supplement two plenary sessions with
lectures given by known researchers and activists in the field of
(Romanian) identity. The workshops will allow participants to present
their own works, to receive and provide comments, and to create networks
with peers from other universities/departments.
We encourage graduate students and researchers to apply with a paper on
one of the following topics:

1.    The contemporary components of Romanian identity
2.    Identity and religion in Romania
3.    Individual and collective perceptions of identity
4.    Forms of representing the Romanian identity in everyday life
(representation in art, literature, traditions, beliefs)
5.    From history to historical: the Romanian identity between “natural
growth” to “cult construction”
6.    Modern dilemmas and contemporary challenges: The dynamics of
Romanian identity in the European and global contexts
7.    Romanian Self-perception and perception of the others
8.    The influence of minorities on the Romanian identity

The application dead-line is August 1, 2008. The selection decision will
be communicated by August 15. Late applications are not considered.
The application form is available at
www.polito.ubbcluj.ro/cpa/en/index.html, it should be filled and send to
cpaconf08 la yahoo.com. The languages of the conference are English and
Romanian.
The organizers provide housing and board for the days of the conference.
There is no participation fee.
