Conference:

"Diasporas and Transnational Identities"

- Diaspora and globalization: The impact on world
politics

states
- Diaspora and the utopian imagination
- Transnational identities and the culture of exile
- Peoples on the margins: The geography of Diasporas
- Art and representation: The iconography of Diasporas
- Women in diasporic communities: guardians of custom,
harbingers of change?
- Diasporas and dialogism

The conference language will be English. Limited
subsidies to cover travel
costs will be available. The deadline for the
submission of papers is April
30, 2000. The conference is open to the social
sciences and humanities.
Ph.D. candidates and post-docs are particularly
