FUTURE EVENTS
Reimagining Europe: De-colonizing Historical Imaginaries, Disciplinary Narratives in Folklore and Ethnology and Beyond
13-14 June 2024 Marburg, Germany (Hybrid event)
Historical Approaches in Cultural Analysis Working Group Interim Meeting
Contemporary transnational and post-colonial viewpoints
perceive Europe as a dynamic and complex web of wider
transnational interactions and exchanges, highlighting the
influences of intertwined and intersecting, yet simultaneously
contested and competing historical narratives, memories, and
identities. These encounters in the past and present have played
a significant role in the historical imagination and contemporary
formation of Europe, as they shaped distinct practices,
methodologies, and traditions in the disciplinary landscape of
folklore studies, European ethnology, and social and cultural
anthropology across the continent. In this conference, we aim to
investigate these two interconnected domains in a dialogue
between historical perceptions and current reflections about
Europe vis-à-vis disciplinary de-colonization effects.
