Paper and Panel Proposals are called for the
Conference
Europe as viewed from the margins.
From World War I to Present
December 12-14, 2007
’Grigore Gafencu’ Study Center for the History of International Relations
Valahia University of Targoviste, Romania
The Conference represents the outcome of a research grant which has started in 2005 with the aim of investigating the images of Europe at its periphery. The leading idea of the grant has been to identify and underline some of the main angles proving the special importance of image-relationship force making history during the last two centuries based on certain differences existing between Eastern and Western Europe, still keeping them together, respectively, in some respects, as center and periphery. The project has been divided into three phases, each of which has approached a specific historical period: the long nineteenth century, the period from the First World War to the end of the Second World War and, finally, the most recent period following the world wars.
The conference coincides with the accession of two marginal countries Romania and Bulgaria to the European Union, which marks a new step towards removing the East-West division of the continent following the Cold War. As such, the aim of the conference will be to focus on the European perceptions of the nations which for most part of their history have been considered as peripheral to the European „mainland“ developments, nations ranging from the Baltic Sea to the Aegean Sea. We envisage to research these aspects from the various perspectives of different scientific disciplines and methods.
The organizers will offer the participants transportation from and to Bucharest Otopeni airport and will cover the within the limits of the budget the transportation inside Romania. Provided that the budget will afford it, the participants will be offered two nights free accommmodation.
The conference will feature panels in the following disciplinary and interdisciplinary areas:
History
Political Science
