Summer school - Graz (Seggau Castle)
The 2010 Utrecht Network international summer school
'The Americas: When One Is Not Enough'
will be organised from July 18 – August 1, 2010
at the Seggau Castle in Leibnitz (Austria).
The local host is the University of Graz
Contemporary discussion about the local and global character of societies calls for a redefinition of the terms “America” and “American”. The shift away from the US-centered interpretation of these terms towards a hemispheric perspective that includes Canada, US America and Latin America requires new conceptual approaches in order to define the Americas in times of globalization where geopolitical boundaries no longer suffice to mark a clear difference between different cultures and concepts of national identities. The courses taught by international experts of Canadian, US-American, Latin American and Inter-American Studies from different universities will offer an insight into the discursive and symbolic constructions of the Americas seen from the vantage points ofpolitics, history, law, literature and culture.
The deadline for applications is March 26th, 2010 !!
At the website of the summer school you can find all relevant information about the programme, the application procedure, the venue and how to get there.
