Dear friends,<br>
together with friends from the history of arts department I am<br>
planning an international conference on Cultural Imperialism. A
call<br>
for contributions is attached for your information. We are
optimistic<br>
that the European Commissioner for Culture will accept our<br>
proposal for funding and that the Commissioner herself may<br>
participate.<br>
The first half-day session (october 18, morning) will be dedicated
to<br>
the history of cultural imperialism. We are planning two key<br>
lectures: Pontus Hultén, the director of the Centre Pompidou in<br>
Paris, and Ashis Nandy.<br>
The second session will deal with cultural imperialism in our
times,<br>
and one of the two key note speakers invited is Hilmar Hoffmann,<br>
president of the Goethe Institute. The second key-note speaker<br>
(invited) is Edward Said. The third session is about<br>
alternatives, with Johan Galtung as one of the two key note<br>
speakers.<br>
Please do not hesitate to distribute the announcement among<br>
interested people.<br>
<br>
Bernd<br>

Cultural Imperialism<br>
</b></font><font face="Times New Roman" size="+3"

<br>
<br>
A two-day conference is being planned to be held in fall 2002 in
Trier, Germany, on Cultural Imperialism.<br>
<br>
Contributions are invited from all relevant fields including history
of arts, architecture, history, popular music, the media, advertising
and PR, sociology, economics, political lobbying, WTO-GATS, food,
education, linguistics and others. Publication of the proceedings is
intended.<br>
<br>
The Conference on Cultural Imperialism (working title) will begin on
Thursday october 17, 2002, with diner and perhaps a first evening
session. We will have two working days, Friday 18 and Saturday
19, and participants will depart on Sunday 20 october after
breakfast. The venue is Robert Schuman House, Trier, a well-equipped
new conference center above the city of Trier where participants will
also stay overnight. At this moment we think about a more
symposium-like beginning (Friday) aiming at sorting out the multiple
facets of cultural imperialism and pulling strings together, and a
public event on Saturday aiming at media coverage. We will have three
blocks for discussion: (1) Cultural imperialism in history,(2) present
cultural imperialism, its different aspects, working mechanisms and
effects, and (3) what are alternatives (including<br>
European positions in WTO, IMF etc.).<br>
<br>
Workling languages will be German, English and French, with
simultaneous translation. A maximum of 50 participants are
expected from all parts of the world. We will try our best to raise
funds for travel refunding and for hosting participants.<br>
<br>
So if you are interested, please reserve these dates in your agenda
and send in your abstract in German or English, not more than 300
words, as soon as you have made up your mind. Deadline for
abstracts is end of march 2002. Please pass this information on to
other people who might be interested.<br>
