The “New Imagined Communities”:
Identity Build up in Eastern and South Eastern Europe

As Stuart Hall has emphasized, the concept of identity is not an
essentialist but a strategic and a positional one. That is to say that
identities are constructed across different, often intersecting
discourses, practices and positions, they are subject to a radical
historicization and are constantly in a process of change.

In the era of globalism and of the European integration, identity build
up is at stake and new disciplines are getting involved in this area,
challenging comparative literature and cultural studies. Emerging as
both a research and a curricular object, the European studies display an
interdisciplinary and trans-methodological drive.

The conference aims at focusing on the epistemological and the
methodological turns in approaching cultural identity and at unveiling
the landmarks (topographical, historical, ideological, symbolic etc.)
that underline the different and yet converging identity projects in
Eastern and South Eastern Europe, as well as in the Central Europe.

The conference is organized by the Institute of World Literature of
Slovak Academy of Science, jointly with The ICLA Research Committee on
Eastern and South-Eastern Europe. The comparative literature has a rich
tradition in Slovak literary studies. This is one of  the reasons, why
the conference will be working with the concept of the “communities”,
the notion introduced in the comparative literary studies in 80` by the
well known Slovak comparatist Dionýz Ďurišin.
