session at the conference: "Colonial and Post-Colonial
Remembering and Forgetfulness"
Deadline: Wednesday, 27. July 2006 (Note: The submission
deadline for abstracts for this session has been extended)
The organising commitee for the conference "Colonial and
Post-Colonial Remembering and Forgetfulness" to be held in
Mexico City and Chalco between the 16 and 18 of October
2006 is seeking four further panelists for a special
session/ "sub-conference" dedicated to "Empires and
Identities" that will take place during the conference.
This special session will consist of 4 panels, each with 3
or 4 presentations. The papers already included in the
program for this special session represent a wide variety
of new and innovative research on topics as diverse as new
perspectives on the colonization of Central Asia seen
through the rhetoric of Russia's civilizing mission, the
introduction of the passport and the construction of modern
national identities in colonial India and representations
of Spanish Kings in indigenous artwork from colonial
Mexico.
Proposals for this special session should address the
general themes of the conference, which is devoted to
colonial and post colonial remembering and forgetfulness
viewed from a wide range of different interdisciplinary
perspectives with particular attention to communicative
issues and reflections on "self" and "otherness“"
memories, historical myths and other expressions of
historical and political memory.
The conference "Colonial and Post-Colonial Remembering and
Forgetfulness" will will focus on conceptualizations and
representations of cultural categories in colonial and post
colonial realities, and the ways in which individuals have
understood and enacted these frameworks in their lives. The
program is organised in a large number of special thematic
sessions and subconferences covering a diverse series of
topics extending from a special session on "Voices of
slaves in inquisitorial records" to "Education and
Nation-Building in Latin America" and "Representations of
the 'Other' on the Theater Stage".
We welcome submissions from all branches of the social
sciences, humanities, as well as the arts. Graduate
students are encouraged to participate. Papers will be
considered on related themes and topics from a wide range
of perspectives. Presenters are encouraged to interpret the
themes of the conference broadly and may explore any
historical period, with any geographic focus.
Papers will be considered on related themes and topics from
a wide range of perspectives. 500 word abstracts should be
submitted to the organising committee in English,
Castilian, German or French by 15. July 2006. The
conference languages will be English and Castilian.
Interpretations of the conference theme ranging from the
predictable to the surprising are encouraged.

special sessions and sub-conferences during the event is
