With respect to the fact that multiple cultures can only be defined
from multiple perspectives, the conference’s title proposes to open
up the necessary "spaces of contradiction". What are these
spaces, where do we find them - where do cultures take place? As
one of the prominent sites of cultural production, the urban space
brings forth syntheses of cultures, mixtures and hybrids – it is the
primary site of negotiation and also conflict. Furthermore, the
multicultural coincides with the multimedial: Does the technological
revolution of the information age work to eliminate differences
wherever the necessary infrastructure exists, how can we grasp
culture when cyberspace assumedly levels national borders? Do
multiple cultures spread their influence via the internet, or does a
new form of leveling take place, are there new concepts which
appear in an environment outside the traditional borderlines?
The new concepts and realities of culture – focusing on hybridity,
the diaspora and the multiple - leave no room for easy antinomies
like "it's them or us". Inevitably addressing the political, the
conference will focus on questions like these and others, all
relating to the interaction of multiple cultures and identities, and the
perspectives arising therefrom. It will also take into account our
very own and personal stance and position in a cultural framework
which is getting increasingly intertwined, be it in the media, politics,
academia or cyberspace.
Students of all faculties are invited to present original or seminar
papers on the topic, join the discussions or just listen.
