16-18/03/2017 - Coference: Reform and Revolution in Europe, 1917–19: Entangled and Transnational Histories (Finland)

University of Tampere invites proposals for papers and sessions focusing on a general theme of the international conference Reform and Revolution in Europe, 1917–19: Entangled and Transnational Histories. This conference in historical sciences analyses the political, cultural, intellectual and societal influences of the First World War in Europe, focusing especially on the emergence of new nation states. Instead of a mere review of national historiographies, this conference aims at international, comparative and transnational approaches that consider the interconnectedness of processes, events and discourses of reform and revolution in different countries, particularly in Northern Europe.

The purpose of this conference is to better understand the formation of new independent states and the reforms and revolutions of established polities in international, comparative and transnational contexts. Comparative and transnational perspectives help us to rethink and relativize national histories, reinforcing some national exceptional features and demonstrating the entangled nature of many national experiences.

Deadline: 15-04-2016
