Small nations and states during the 19th and 20th centuries often perceived themselves as peripheries which were struggling to secure or maintain their cultural and political autonomy in the concert of nations. These balancing acts contained various forms of national strategies, but also seeking contacts and reference points in a larger European context. The seminar will explore strategies to overcome cultural hierarchies and asymmetrical power relations as well as to investigate entanglements, transfers, and relations particularly between the Nordic and central European semi-peripheries.
Among other participants, our colleague Jitka Jindřišková will attend the seminar with a conference paper named Masaryk and Garborg. Nordic Threads in T.G. Masaryk's Correspondence. The whole programme will be soon published on the website of the Department of Germanic studies and Finnish studies HERE.
The seminar is co-organized by the Centre for Nordic Studies (University of Helsinki), the Department of Germanic Studies, and the Institute of World History (Charles University). For more information contact Jana Lainto (jana.lainto@helsinki.fi) and Tomáš Masař (tomas.masar@ff.cuni.cz).
The event is funded by ReNEW research hub.
