Επιστημονικό Συνέδριο με θέμα:“Civil Wars: Narratives, Memories, Identities”
The Laboratory of Social and Migration Studies of the University of Western Macedonia invites paper proposals for a conference to be held in Kastoria, Greece on 14-15 December 2024 entitled:
“Civil Wars: Narratives, Memories, Identities”
This Conference calls for researches from a variety of disciplines (History, Political Science, Social Anthropology, Sociology, Social Psychology) that give ‘voice’ to all those who are not represented in the archival material (which usually focus on the more privileged voices and higher-ranking members, socially and politically, in local societies). Thus, we wish to enable a sense of empowered history-making by those who are not depicted in official historical sources.
Through the study and analysis of memory and the layers of such constructions of remembering and forgetting, invaluable information as regards lived experiences in Civil Wars are unveiled for those generations still alive today, but also subsequent generations, through inter/intragenerational transmission and storytelling.
The Conference invites research on Civil Wars in the 20th century worldwide and aims to provide a comparative lens in order to ascertain both similarities and differences across chronological, spatial and temporal contexts and within regional diversities. Here, the focus is not just on the nation-state as territorial signifier, but rather on the historical parameters of such cultural geographies.
The conference invites papers investigating:
- political identities and action
- ethnic and national identities
- everyday life
- childhood
- population movements
- gender and generational relations
- memories and trauma in relation to civil wars
- reconciliation and development
- the (re)construction of civil war through (contemporary) public discourse
- conspiracy theories/disinformation about civil wars
- methodological and theoretical issues
