Manifestations and Dynamics of Cultural Change\u201d<\/strong><b>.<\/b><\/p>\n\n<p>The dispersion of communities of people physically displaced from their perceived \u2018homeland\u2019 has been a defining feature of the human experience. Commonly referred to as Diasporas, these groups have travelled to other lands for reasons including to escape persecution, seek a better life, and exploit economic opportunities. Some have defined Diaspora in terms of what it is not \u2013 not from \u201chere,\u201d not \u201cat home,\u201d not \u201crooted.\u201d This approach is consistent with the way modern\u2013that is, privileged\u2013subjectivity is primed to understand identity in terms of how it differs from an \u2018Other.\u2019 Theorization on cultural exchange has moved from Marie Louise Pratt\u2019s \u201ccontact zone\u201d (1992), mainly understood spatially, to Homi Bhabha\u2019s \u201cthird space\u201d (1994) where the meeting between two cultures takes place. More recently, Doreen Massey (2005) conceives spaces as the site of a continuously developing intersection of different trajectories, human and non-human, which is \u201copen, multiple and relational, unfinished and always becoming.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>This symposium aims to consider how members of displaced groups relate to identity markers such as race, ethnicity, nationality, language, religion, and other socio-cultural categories, having regard to the impact of globalization, connectivity, and mobility. If the language of difference, binary categories of here\/there, and other features of customary understandings of diaspora are no longer appropriate, then scholars need new approaches for conceptualizing, theorizing, representing, and interacting with Diasporas.<\/p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionecampus.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Traduzione-2-CfP-Lucca2020-FINAL-09-06-19.pdf\">Click here<\/a> to submit proposals for the symposium.<\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Campus Language School is pleased to host the 3rd IASA International Symposium in Italy,&hellip;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-0\"><a class=\"websoup-read-more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionecampus.it\/en\/3rd-iasa-international-symposium\/\">Read More&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-3690","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fondazionecampus.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3690","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fondazionecampus.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fondazionecampus.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fondazionecampus.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fondazionecampus.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3690"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.fondazionecampus.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3690\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7221,"href":"https:\/\/www.fondazionecampus.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3690\/revisions\/7221"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fondazionecampus.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3690"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
