Welcome

Our dual concern at the Cultural Identity and Memory Studies Institute (CIMS) is to explore cultural identity and cultural memory: that is, the investigation of the diverse textual constructs and creations (e.g. traditions, myths, literary canons, and political institutions) by which national and other cultural groups represent, criticise, renew and repurpose their sense of identity and memory.

CALL FOR PAPER- CIMS PG symposium 2024 “Cultural Memory, Identity and Images”

We are thrilled to extend an invitation to scholars from diverse disciplines to participate in the Cultural Identity and Memory Studies Institute (CIMS) Postgraduate Symposium 2024 on “Cultural Identity, Memory, and Images”.

On the 13th of May, our interdisciplinary symposium promises an enriching experience as we delve into the transformative power of images within the intricate realms of cultural identity and memory in the digital age. No matter your area of interest—whether it be history, literature, cultural studies, film studies, art history, media, sustainable development, computer science, or BEYOND—your perspective is valued and welcomed.

We invite you to contribute your expertise and insights through two engaging formats:

  1. Flash Presentations: Share your research in a 3-minute presentation.
  1. Panel Discussions: Present your paper and engage in lively discussions with fellow postgraduates.

To participate, simply submit an abstract (no more than 250 words) outlining your background and contact information by the 29th of April to:

Runyuan Bai ([email protected])

Viktoriia Medvied ([email protected])

This symposium promises distinguished keynote speakers, interactive panel discussions, and dynamic flash talks, providing ample opportunities for interdisciplinary dialogue and idea exchange. Papers from the conference will be published online on the CIMS website.

It is a hybrid event, if you are interested in online participation, please contact us.
