The aim of the symposium is to gather researchers around the concept of modernity as created on the threshold between the European North and South. The idea is to discuss the concept of modernity as centred on the North, but also to consider the idea of the South as European modernity's Other, as well as images and notions that undermine that dichotomy. Proposals are welcome from across disciplines within the Humanities and the Social Sciences. The symposium is held in English.
