>We are pleased to invite postgraduate students, 
>doctoral students and researchers to participate 
>in the Summer School in Media & Nationalism 2008 
>in Vic, Barcelona (Spain), which will be held from 7th to 11th July 2008.
>
>The Summer School in Media & Nationalism will 
>bring together members of the Catalan, Basque, 
>Northern Irish and Scottish research 
>communities, and others, around a programme of 
>discussions on themes of the media, 
>communication, nationalism, politics and conflict.
>
>The Summer School consists of five full days of 
>lectures from invited experts, together with a 
>series of parallel seminar presentations for 
>accepted papers to be held, in principle, on the Tuesday afternoon.
>
>The Summer School will thus be a forum providing 
>support for scholars and researchers, through 
>discussion and seminar presentation feedback. 
>The Summer School aims to provide a supportive 
>international setting where doctoral students 
>can present their work, receive feedback on 
>their Ph.D. projects from international experts, 
>and meet students and academics from other countries.
>
>The working language of the Summer School will be English.
>
>
>Seminars
>
>
>
>Each seminar will run for about 3 hours.
>
>Each paper will be introduced by the Chair. 
>Participants will give a 15-minute presentation 
>on their research. For a further 15 minutes 
>another participant will respond to the paper, 
>adopting the role of 'opponent', offering 
>constructive criticism of the paper and its 
>contents. Guest academics and researchers will 
>also be called on to take part in these discussions.
>
>
>Context
>
>
>
>Stateless nations play an important role in the 
>era of globalisation and can aspire to take part 
>in diverse political institutions.
>
>In a European framework that legitimises and 
>reinforces the nation state as the main 
>political agent in the European Union, regions 
>with nationalist claims are seeking to clarify 
>their political future, satisfy their 
>aspirations (sovereignty or greater autonomy) 
>and become full members of the supra-state structure.
>
>Autonomous development can be shaken by the 
>outbreak of violence, combined inevitably with 
>anthropological, political, sociological and 
>communicative difficulties. The study of these 
>factors is of key importance in the treatment 
>and possible resolution of violent or non-violent national conflict.
>
>Taking four paradigmatic cases, Northern 
>Ireland, Scotland, the Basque Country and 
>Catalonia, we aim to share and discuss our experience and methodology.
