*CALL FOR PARTICIPATION*

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Flying University of Transnational Humanities (FUTH) is an annual summer
school and year-round online forum for researchers and graduate students
interested in the transnational paradigm of humanistic inquiry. FUTH takes
its name and immediate inspiration from Poland’s Flying University, an
underground institution which offered an alternative education outside the
remit of state control and government censorship. FUTH is particularly
concerned with developing critical understandings that are resistant to the
ideological and ideational hegemony of the nation-state and the
epistemological and hermeneutic conventions that support it. FUTH consists
of lectures/seminars where renowned scholars from partner and other
institutions are invited to share their ideas as well as graduate sessions
with feedback from the speakers. All lectures, seminars and presentations
are held in English. For the initial three years (2010–2012), the
overarching theme of FUTH is ‘borders.’ With the 1st FUTH successfully
completed in 2010, we are now gearing ourselves up for the 2nd FUTH in 2011.
Under the subheading of ‘Border-crossing
Self,’ we hope to gather diverse research and knowledge on border-related
(cross-border or bordering) issues such as migration, ethnicity, language,
citizenship and gender and open up a forum for discussions on the (un)making
of trans/national self.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 2nd Flying University of Transnational Humanities under the theme of
‘Border-crossing Self’ invites graduate students and recent PhDs
to apply for participation. The event will be held June 25-29 at Hanyang
University, Seoul, Korea.
