30 September/ 1 October 2021 - «Discourses on the Occident and Memory Spaces in Europe»
Conceptions of Europe, images of the self and of others, constructions of space and borders in Europe have been and continue to be defined, especially since the decades around 1800, by discourses of an "Occident". Discourses of the Occident can be described as polyvalently applicable discourse complexes that can be modelled and adapted and that are sometimes more nationalistic, sometimes more religious, sometimes more universalistic. The conference will focus on intellectual discourses, on agents and networks in various sciences, above all philosophy, theology and cultural sciences, education, especially history, geography and religious education, literature and art, media and political movements.
