The European Non-Territorial Network

by

The European Non-Territorial Autonomy Network is a COST Action aimed at examining the concept of non-territorial autonomy (NTA). ENTAN particularly focuses on NTA arrangements for reducing inter-ethnic tensions within a state and on the accommodation of the needs of different communities while preventing calls to separate statehood.

The main objective is to investigate the existing NTA mechanisms and policies and to develop new modalities for the accommodation of differences in the context of growing challenges stemming from globalisation, regionalisation and European supranational integration. The network fosters interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary group work, and provides for training and empowerment of young researchers, academic conferences and publications, as well as for the dissemination of results to policy makers, civil society organisations and communities.

Sensory heritages & sensitive memories in the Balkans

by

Participation of the Culture-Borders-Gender/Lab in the 3rd Summer School (June 30th – July 5th in Sofia and Plovdiv), on the topic: “Sensory Heritages & Sensitive Memories in the Balkans”. This is an interdisciplinary and interuniversity collaboration between universities from France (EHESS, Lyon II, Aix-Marseille), the University of Sofia, Zadar, Slovenia, and Plovdiv, with the support of the French School of Athens.

The international summer school Sensory heritages & sensitive memories in the Balkans (1-5 July, Sofia and Plovdiv) gathers lecturers and students in different disciplines, addressing heritage and memory issues in the Balkan societies through the senses, sensoriality, sensibility, sensitivity. It articulates methodological and theoretical proposals based on concrete case studies and mobilizing senses not only as an object of study, but also as a modality of knowledge (including the use of different media). It will enhance innovative working formats and activities favoring shared experiences, reflections and discussions, beyond disciplinary boundaries and specializations. In situ sensory proposals and non-conventional approaches are encouraged, as well as concrete outputs at individual and collective levels.
