Conférence : "The Idea of Europe in Literature, Philosophy and the Arts: History and Current Debate", Londres, King's College, le 5 mars 2020A one-day conference, focussing on the 'idea' of Europe in literature, philosophy and the arts, broadly definedAbout this EventThe London Arts and Humanities Partnership cross-disciplinary conference The Idea of Europe in Literature, Philosophy and the Arts: History and Current Debate will take place in the Yellow Room, 18 Leather Lane (venue changed from KCL, due to strike action), with a keynote given by Dr. Alex Drace-Francis (University of Amsterdam).The conference aims to explore how the idea of Europe has changed throughout history, in literary and philosophical writings, as well as in artistic representations. It will seek to facilitate discussion across different areas of study, aiming to produce a diachronic perspective on various European questions, with a particular focus on the concept of “European identity”. We also invite special attention to the role that migration (broadly defined as movements of people, objects and ideas) has played and continues to play in shaping such an identity. The urgency of such a discussion, both in the context of UK scholars working on the question of Europe, and of European scholars, is evident in a moment of precipitous change in various areas of Europe.Please Note: Unfortunately, the venue is only accessible via a staircase.
