28/09-01/10/2017 - Διεθνές Συνέδριο για τη συνοριακή πολιτική της Ευρώπης (Μυτιλήνη)

Το Διεθνές Συνέδριο Contested Borderscapes Conference με θέμα: Transnational Geographies vis-à-vis Fortress Europe, θα πραγματοποιηθεί στη Μυτιλήνη από τις 28 Σεπτεμβρίου έως την 1η Οκτώβρη 2017, στις εγκαταστάσεις του Τμήματος Γεωγραφίας του Πανεπιστημίου Αιγαίου.

The main aim of this international conference is to create a space of critical reflection in which academics, artists, and activists from different disciplines, backgrounds, and locations, can strategise, organise, and analyse the social landscapes of border-spaces such as this, and their reverberations for anti-border politics elsewhere.
We welcome proposals for various kinds of interventions, including, but not limited to: presentations of formal academic papers falling under one of the following five themes; brief provocations leading to open discussions; performance lectures; installations; exhibitions or screenings of visual work (e.g., film, photography, etc.); workshops (sharing practical knowledge, working through a particular idea or problem, teaching a methodology, approach, or framework). We wish to emphasise multidirectional discussion and open debate of contested—rather than “settled”—issues, as opposed to unidirectional knowledge transmission by institutionally acknowledged academic experts. As such, the conference will open with a plenary of local activists, and will culminate in a general assembly of all participants, mapping possibilities for future collaboration and exchange across and beyond Fortress Europe.
