> The research project, 'Cultural Transfer as a Factor of State-Building'
> headed by Antje Flüchter at Heidelberg's Cluster of Excellence 'Asia and
> Europe in global Context' is organizing a conference that aims to bring
> together scholars interested in the history of the state and the processes
> of state-building within the framework of cultural interaction between
> Asia and Europe during the early-modern period.
>
> In the past years, the project has challenged the hypothesis that the
> modern state is a genuine European phenomenon by combining a 'bottom-up'
> approach and a transcultural perspective. By analysing state-building and
> state as processes of negotiation and appropriation from below, state
> itself can be understood as a process. And when these processes examined
> in an environment that involves more than one culture, the resultant
> institutions and practices can be expected to be transcultural.
>
> In the field of governance and statehood, the processes of appropriation,
> negotiation and regulation can be analysed on various levels. For example,
> levels such as circulation of knowledge, face-to-face interaction and
> relation between political discourse and practice. The conference
> particularly invites contributions that address these levels in fours
> sub-fields of governance: trade, diplomacy, military and justice between
> 1500 and 1900. While processes of exchange and transfer spread in many
> directions, the conference particularly welcomes transfer processes form
> Asia to Europe. However, the geographical focus is not limited to Asia and
> Europe and papers dealing other world regions are also welcome.
>
> Thus, by deliberately addressing a rather broad thematic and time-frame
> this
> conference also intends to be a forum for discussing different perceptions
> and types of transculturality, for discussing different methods of its
> analysis, and for sharpening our understanding of this concept.
>
> All interested participants are kindly requested to send abstracts of 500
> words to Mr. Rudolph Ng (ng@asia-europe.uni-heidelberg.de), University of
> Heidelberg by 29th Feb 2012. Please note that only a limited number of
> applicants will be as selected as we are only looking to fill certain
> vacant slots in the program. Accommodations and travel expenses will be
> reimbursed for selected applicants.
