International Seminar

Narratives and social memory

Theoretical and methodological approaches

June 29th - 30th 2012, University of Minho, Braga


Call for papers



The team of the research project “Identity Narratives and Social Memory” and the Communication and Society Research Center of University of Minho invite you to submit a paper to the upcoming International Seminar “Narratives and social memory: theoretical and methodological approaches”.



The seminar aims at discussing the impact and consequences of different approaches, currently dominant theories, as well emerging ones in the field. As we came to notice, the interest about these issues has considerably grown in the past decades, however they are still studied in very fragmented paths. There for, it is essential to promote the transdisciplinary and multi-method approaches.



The seminar will feature prominent researchers from different world regions presently working on these themes across social sciences in light of postcolonial perspectives. By bringing together researchers from a wide spectrum of disciplines, this international seminar intends to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and explore sustainable networking. Hence, we welcome scholars from diverse disciplines such as Anthropology, Communication Sciences, Computer Sciences, Cultural Studies, Education, Geography, History, Linguistic, Literature, Political Science, Psychology and Sociology.



We will dedicate special attention to the role of cultural industries in the (re)construction of ethnic, national, and postnational identities and the way they influence both interpersonal and international relations in contemporary world. However, papers related to other aspects of narratives, identity and memory will be considered, as well as papers focused on methodological issues.



After the event it will be published an ebook with selected papers.



Please submit your proposal with an abstract up to 300 words for an oral paper or poster, and a brief biography of about 150 words to the seminar organizers: (nims /at/ ics.uminho.pt)



The proposals (English only) must contain: name, academic affiliation, and contacts. The deadline is March 31, 2012 – notification of paper and poster acceptance will be no later than April 30, 2012.
