The Central University Library “Eugen Todoran” kindly
invites you to the Regional Identity and
Social Cohesion international conference
which will take place between October 24-26, 2013 in Timisoara, Romania.
The conference is organized in partnership
with Pro Biblioteca Association.
The Conference aims at
discussing, from a multidisciplinary academic perspective, the theme of local
identity, focusing on the historical region of Banat (a region which is
nowadays part of three different countries: Romania, Serbia, Hungary), without
excluding, however, the general issue of local identity and comparative
approaches. The conference is attended by specialists in anthropology, law,
economics, philosophy, geography, history, political science, sociology,
cultural studies, science and information, etc. We are focused on highlighting
new research methods and techniques considering issues of identity and their
application in regional studies in general, and
particularly those of Banat. The conference will take place in four sessions:
Session I: Heritage, Memory and Identity Construction
Session II: Social Capital and Regional Development
Session III: Local
History vs. National History
Session IV: Book,
Library, Local Identity
Session V: Virtual
World and Social Identity
