Papers
Giving Birth to Identity
Having joined the European Union, both Hungary and Romania found themselves facing new challenges. The borders, that seemed impossible to cross between the two neighboring countries, suddenly opened up. This new freedom inspired a discourse through which, mostly because of the touchy issue of Transylvania that created tension between Hungary and Romania in the past century, ideas of identity and belonging are being raised not as a national, rather as a regional question.
Hybrid Modes of Collaborations in Contemporary Art Practices: Challenging the Politics of Belonging in the Post-1989 Community
This paper problematizes the notion of community enacted at the EU level, through a contextual analysis of two collaborative contemporary artworks, Re:route (2002, in Turin, Italy) by the Hungarian artist Miklos Erhardt and Scottish artist Dominic Hislop and Together/Impreuna (2007, in London, UK) by Romanian artist Matei Bejenaru.
Collaboration, Cultural Diplomacy and Conflicting Representations in Contemporary Art Biennials
Since the first Venice Biennale in 1895 to the contemporary art system, biennales have increasingly provided a venue to reflect on the politics of representation of international art and, more recently, on the challenges brought about by globalization.
The Future of EU Enlargement: Challenge call- Western Balkans countries and Turkey
EU enlargement will depend on many factors and challenges that will determine not only the pace of this process but also will carry alongside the settlement of many open problems in various forms, between Western Balkan countries and member states of EU.Which Strategy for the Western Balkans? The EU’s Enlargement Strategy between Conditional Coronation and Flexible Participation
The proposed paper examines the evolution of the European Union’s enlargement strategy. Academic researchers have argued that the EU has primarily managed its enlargement in accordance with the classic Community method.
EU Enlargement and the Western Balkans? Policy Changes and Policy Options from the Perspective of Candidate Countries
This paper discusses how different is the position of the Western Balkan countries in the enlargement process and what are the policy options in the new circumstances from the position of the policy taker, a potential EU member state.The European Union’s Capacity to Absorb: What Are the Legal Implications of Future Rounds of Enlargement and How to Deal With Them?
The last decade witnessed the unprecedented rounds of the European Union (EU) enlargement with the accession of twelve new Member States in 2004 and 2007. Nevertheless, at no time in the past did the EU appear to be as heterogeneous as it does at present with the divisions along the lines of ‘new’ and ‘old’ Member States.
Delayed EU Enlargement in the Western Balkans
After one century of delay in the European reformation of the Balkans: 1914-2011; and a decade of status quo of enlargement: 2000-2010; Western Balkans is facing a new historic challenge: will the next decade: 2010-2020 be another decade of unrealistic expectations to be part of the EU?
Black and White: Imaginations of European Identity in Eurosceptic and Eurooptimistic Political Cartoons in UK and Slovakia
After twenty years of research, discussions about European identity almost belong to the folklore of European Studies, yet the concept still seems to pose more questions rather than give definitive answers. Discourse analysis has become the tool of choice for many scholars of identity, who paid plenty of attention to the official EU documentation, public speeches of its representatives, newspaper articles.
Napoleon’s Europe through the Lens of Art History – a survey of temporary exhibitions (1990-2011)
As an essential figure of European history, Napoleon has been the subject in the last two decades of a wave of major historical exhibits organized by national museums across Europe in the context of the bi-centennial celebrations/commemorations of the major battles of the Napoleonic wars.
