CfP: Cultural Identities in a Global World: Reframing Cultural hybridity (original) (raw)

From the local, national to the global, cultural hybridity nowadays travels across the individual, political, religious, biological, cultural and virtual spaces in historical contexts of nation-states, transnational movements and globalization. The problematization of the term oscillates between essentialization and its usage as a categorical instrument. However, cultural hybridity can entangle new meanings and action-oriented concepts. This conference aims to reframe the discourse on hybridity by exploring this cultural artefact in theory and social practice and as a still useful analytical tool in the study of culture.
