This interdisciplinary colloquium will bring together scholars and graduate students from both sides of the Atlantic to discuss the relationship between nationalism and transnationalism in the development of the humanities and social sciences in Europe. The presenters will place new transnational approaches in historical perspective and will consider how transnational experiences, ideas, and contacts have influenced the production of “national” knowledge. The participants will cover a wide range of fields, including:
anthropology, archaeology, ethnology, folklore, history, literature, philology, and philosophy. The public is warmly invited to attend and join the discussion.
