Proceedings (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This online publication is produced within the three-year research programme EuNaMus – European National Museums: Identity Politics, the Uses of the Past and the European Citizen, coordinated at Tema Q at Linköping University (www.eunamus.eu).EuNaMus explores the creation and power of the heritage created and presented by European national museums to the world, Europe and its states, as an unsurpassable institution in contemporary society. National museums are defined and explored as processes of institutionalized negotiations where material collections and displays make claims and are recognized as articulating and representing national values and realities. Questions asked in the project are why, by whom, when, with what material, with what result and future possibilities are this museums shaped.This Open Access publication gives a comparative overview of the historical roles of national museums in state-making processes. It has been created to stimulate discussion and debate among academics, policy-makers, museum professionals and citizens. The individual author is responsible for the content of each report and if you have any comments please do not hesitate to contact the author who would welcome these. Further publications from EuNaMus are in process. Please consult www.eunamus.eu for updated information.

Current Issues in European Cultural Studies, ACSIS Conference 2011, Norrköping, 15–17 June : Abstracts
- 2011
-
Proceedings (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- We proudly present the programme of our international conference ‘Current Issues in European Cultural Studies’! The conference is arranged by the Advanced Cultural Studies Institute of Sweden (ACSIS) which is a national centre for interdisciplinary and international networking in the !eld of cultural studies (www.acsis.liu.se). ACSIS has a wide range of activities, including the large biannual conference on cultural research that we have arranged since 2005. The great response to our !rst international conference ‘INTER’, in 2007 convinced us of the need for continuing to bring di#erent regions and thematic areas together on an international scale.This is why we have given the 2011 conference a broad European scope. Each of its plenary sessions focuses on a particular set of current issues, dimensions and perspectives for interdisciplinary, critical and cultural research in Europe. Our intention is to point at tensions and contradictions that together serve to map key contemporary directions in this complex !eld.What does Europe mean to cultural researchers today? How is cultural studies de!ned and how does it thrive or su#er in di#erent countries? What threats, challenges and opportunities are pivotal for us in the 2010s? The last plenary sums up a series of !ve ‘spotlight sessions’ that each gathers scholars into a panel to discuss the current state of cultural research in different regions of Europe : central, east, north, south and west. The latter is actually limited to British cultural studies, indicating that these regions are far from innocent concepts, and we expect critical debates around the very idea of dividing Europe in this manner! The European branch of the international Association for Cultural Studies ACS has kindly supported our efforts by letting their board members chair and take part in these spotlight sessions.Parallel to the spotlights a total number of 50 group sessions, including double sessions, involving more than 200 participants will take place. Conferences are not only work, they are also a great opportunity to meet old friends and make new ones. In addition to the discussions at the sessions, there will be plenty of time to socialise at the reception hosted by the city of Norrköping on Wednesday evening and the big conference dinner on Thursday night.Since the start these ACSIS conferences have provided a rich overview of the contemporary trends in cultural research, which our conference publications prove. We will continue this work and publish the conference proceedings, which are open to all conference participants, of this year in open access at Linköping University Electronic Press. More information about the proceedings will be distributed after the conference. Participants are also invited to submit articles to our refereed academic journal Culture Unbound : Journal of Current Cultural Research, published open access since 2009 by Linköping University Electronic Press. Culture Unbound is partly owned by ACSIS and as the journal’s publication history shows, it is a wonderful resource for publishing this kind of texts (www.cultureunbound.ep.liu.se).The national board of ACSIS has served as a programme committee for the conference, and a great number of local supporters have assisted in preparing and organising the event. The Bank of Sweden Tercentenary Foundation (Stiftelsen Riksbankens Jubileumsfond), the Wenner-Gren Foundations (Wenner-Gren Stiftelserna), Linköping University’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences and the city of Norrköping have contributed with the funding needed to make this all possible. Last but certainly not least, we are enormously grateful for and impressed by the nonsalaried e#orts from all invited speakers, Panelists, moderators, session organisers and paper presenters who have !lled these frameworks with such fascinating intellectual contents.This programme book includes the full programme, abstracts, maps and various other kinds of information, ending with a list of participants and emails in alphabetic order.Welcome to Norrköping, to ACSIS and to the borderlands of European cultural studies!Johan Fornäs, Director of ACSIS, Södertörn UniversityJohanna Dahlin, ACSIS conference organizer, Linköping UniversityMartin Fredriksson, ACSIS research coordinator, Linköping University

Current Issues in European Cultural Studies, June 15–17, Norrköping, Sweden 2011
- 2011

Proceedings (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In June 2011 ACSIS arranged its fourth biennial conference on cultural research, this time on the subject “Current Issues in European Cultural Studies”. The conference provided an updated inventory of main issues in European cultural studies today, covering cross-European topics and trends as well as regional developments in East, West, South, North and Central Europé.The program had three main levels. First, a series of plenary sessions dealt with selected key current issues for cultural studies that partly connected to European perspectives and partly reached beyond this geographic scope. Second, a set of spotlight sessions opened up for presentations and debates on the state of cultural studies in different regions of Europé, leading up to a final plenary discussing whether EU’s motto “united in diversity” is also applicable to European cultural studies. Finally, about 200 cultural studies scholars from all over the world came together to present their own research in more than 30 parallel sessions. You can find the details on the participants in the Statistics for 2011 and if you really like figures you find statistics for all conferences in Statistics 2005-2011.The conference was supported by Riksbankens Jubileumsfond, Wenner-Gren Foundations, the Faculty of Arts and Sciences of Linköping University and the City of Norrköping.

Discourse and ideology: story-telling, images, and the space of conflicts
- 2011
-
Proceedings (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- This section invites papers from the poststructuralist and anti/post-foundationalist approach topolitics. Submissions may include case studies or theoretical work, or a combination of both. Weparticularly invite papers dealing with contingency and conflict, and meaning-making as a form ofpolitics. The papers may wish to focus on concepts, discourse, logics, narratives, rhetoric or specifictropes, and may draw from a range of theoretical perspectives associated with the linguistic turnand poststructuralism (Derrida, Foucault, Lacan, Laclau, Mouffe, Rancière, Skinner, etc.).The section hopes to focus on the political, and would like to devote some time in making clearthe contributions of this kind of approaches to the study of politics - rather than cultural studies, linguistics or sociology, just to name a few neighbouring fields where the focus may differ.The empirical case studies may range from an area specific focus (e.g. Latin America, Europeanpolitics), to theoretico-empirical topics such as feminism, ethnicity or populism, or urban politics,politics of the past, and politics and art. Politics under investigation may take place on the global, national, transnational, regional or local level. The study of language, metaphors and visual imagesor sounds – or indeed the classics, time and space – is encouraged but not expected. Dealing with poststructuralist and anti/post-foundationalist approach to politics, this sectionproposes to interrogate those precise moments and ideas of ground and grounding, rupture andcontingency – besides discussing the issues presented in the panels. How and what to study, whenstudying the political or politics in its various dimensions? A large part of the section will be held only in English to meet the demand for such panels byinternational researchers working in the Nordic countries, who are expected to join Nordic colleagues at the NOPSA Conference 2011.
