> We are delighted to announce the launch of a new AHRC funded research
> network called Partitions: What Are They Good For? which is a
> comparative partitions studies networkdevoted to cutting-edge,
> international and interdisciplinary research on political partitions
> across a wide historical and geographical span.
>
> Everyday contemporary life has been shaped, to some extent, by the
> political partitioning of nations. 9/11, the continued threat of
> nuclear wars, the rising fundamentalist threat of Islam, the increased
> military interventions by a 'retaliating' West are all considered to
> be some of the results of the partitions of Palestine and India. For
> those of us who live in Europe, partitions, reunifications and the
> threats of partition (or promises of independence) punctuate our daily
> news.
>
> For many different reasons, this is a timely moment to examine the
> phenomenon of partitions and their repercussions on a global scale and to
> see how events, people, histories and ideas are all powerfully linked to
> each other.
>
> We propose to organise three symposia over the next few months, all
> focussing on different areas in the wide field of partition studies.
> These events will be linked with community engagement events of
> various kinds, and the best papers and responses from the symposia
> will be published as part of an edited collection.
>
> We are now calling for proposals for the first symposium, to be held
> on June 3rd-4th at Cardiff University, on Partition and Cultural
> Memory.
> Questions we hope to engage with include:
>
> * How is cultural memory formed in the aftermath of a partition?
> * What is the relationship between memory and ethnic or racial
> difference?
> * How do people remember the nation prior to partition?
> * Does the nation-state shape forms of memory?
> * What is the relationship between cultural and personal
> memory in partition victims?
> * How do post-memories mediate future generations and citizenships?
>
> This list is not intended to be exhaustive and papers on any relevant
> topics will be considered. We welcome submissions from any relevant
> discipline including literature, history, sociology, philosophy, law,
> sociology, cultural studies, women's studies, and politics.
>
> Please submit abstracts of 250 words and a short biographical
> statement to partitions@cf.ac.uk by April 1, 2013.
