CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
http://www.euba.org.mk/eng/za_nas.asp?kat=433

The project “Integrating Cultures/Negotiating Subjectivities” is initiated
in order to create a forum for discussing of how new European
subjectivities are to be negotiated throughout the processes of
integration of different states and cultures within the changing borders
of enlarged Europe. It aims to put forward the alternative futures of
Europe by engaging with the world of ideas and ideals of cross-cultural
translation. The course is designed as a two-week intensive summer school
that is to have a cross-disciplinary structure.
The project has a threefold goal of developing academic excellence in the
chosen theme, improving teaching practices, and enhancing research skills
of the participants. It is going to combine and reassess the contribution
and impacts that different disciplines such as visual and cultural
studies, urban and social sciences, cultural geography and postcolonial
studies have in the process of development of the field of EU
integrations. Ultimately, the purpose of the school is intellectual and
academic excellence because the visions of Europe stem from a deep
intellectual terrain.

The main subjects to be developed through different activities of the
programme are structured as lectures, presentations, plenary sessions,
workshops and collaborative research and writing projects. All activities
are going to be based on three main sub-themes:

ArtandCultureasAgencyofChange
-The importance of art and culture for enhancing of networks of
intercultural communication and social change.
-Art and cultural production as processes of production of interference
between local and international knowledge
-Artists and cultural workers as original and innovative agents of
integration

IntegratedCultures/NegotiatedCities
-The role of negotiating new city structures and urban environments and
-The role of imagined, virtual and real urban communities for establishing
a successful intercultural dialogue.
-The role of the urban cultures in the construction of the new citizens
and urban subjectivities fully participating the civic society activities

Images of Difference
The analysis and overcoming of stereotypical and hierarchical
representational regimes in visual art, culture and media as facilitator
for successful integration of all members and citizens of the newly
integrated countries, and equal cultural expression regardless to
national, cultural or gender background

Eligibility and costs:

20 participants of the summer school will be chosen on highly competitive
basis among young teaching assistants and researchers in visual culture,
