\nEurope and Heritages in\/from the margins |Call for papers<\/p>\n

A buffer, a liminal landscape, a ribbon, a palimpsest, a spatial zone are some of the expressions used by authors to address the concept of the margin in terms of both symbolic and spatial meanings. The concept of margin is very connected to the idea brought forward by Homi Bhabha of a \u201chybrid third space\u201d, that is a way of describing a productive and reflective space that engenders new possibilities. It is an \u201cinterruptive, interrogative, and enunciative\u201d space of new forms of cultural meaning and production, blurring the limitations of existing boundaries and calling into question established categorisations of culture and identity (Bhabha 1994).
\nThe heightened profile and nature of different treatments of the European borders after the Schengen Agreement, the Refugee Crisis and EU countries\u2019 different responses to it, the mobilisation of exclusionary European identities, are subjects that need an important reflection. Europe today can only be understood when seen from its social, cultural or geographic margins, thus encouraging European identity processes in which multiple and sometimes conflicting perspectives coexist, rather than being set against each other. The established interrelation between heritage, identity and history\u2014the memory-identity-heritage complex theorised by Sharon Macdonald (2013)\u2014is today no longer univocal: augmented mobility and migration flows combined with the acceleration of communication technology development are enhancing a social condition characterised by multi-transculturality and multi-ethnicity, and generally multi-perspectivity.
\nTRACES invites scholars, researchers, artists, educators, with the widest range of backgrounds, specialisation, and perspectives, to submit innovative and critical reflections on the theme of \u201cEurope, Heritages in\/from the margins\u201d, investigating how in and from the margins\u2014in their multipronged meaning\u2014we can support the development of a more reflexive idea of Europe (R\u00f6mhild 2009). We look for contributions exploring innovative heritages practices drawing on an open, processual and flexible understanding of European identity and heritage, strengthening democracy, fostering negotiation and facilitating ways of dealing with conflict. We seek to explore how heritages in\/from the margins\u2014be them cultural, social, economic, religious, physical, visible or invisible, real or imagined, locational or relational\u2014could contribute to European integration and cultural cohesion, nurturing a reflexive Europeanisation as a bedrock for a democratic and enlightened public imagination of European identity.
