Interdisciplinary Workshop: Exploring the Imagination-(Im)Mobility Nexus: From Imaginaries to Imagining On the Move
18 – 19 May 2018
University of Neuchâtel, Faculté des lettres et sciences humaines, Espace Louis-Agassiz 1, room R.S.38, 2000 Neuchâtel, Switzerland
The imagination of alternative possible lives has acquired a new role in contemporary world, and has become part of the daily mental life of many people, also as a result of the mass media and mass migration. (Im)mobility, as the dialectic between movement and stasis at the geographic, temporal and semantic level, in turn, is inextricably linked to the ability of people to imagine other places, possibilities, and explore the past or the future.
This interdisciplinary workshop will explore possible future directions of research on the nexus of imagination-mobility and the relationship between imaginaries and imagining processes from an interdisciplinary perspective.
People interested in attending and participating in this working workshop are welcome. Please register by sending an email to Flavia Cangià until Friday, 11 May 2018.
