(Re)construing nationhood in ‘(un)doing Europe’ today?
Warsaw, 8-10 May 2014

The idea for this conference arose from a discussion at the BSA Race and Ethnicity Study Group business meeting at the annual conference in 2013. Our aim is to bring to light the diverse range of theoretical work that is being developed and to consider how the theory is brought to bear on current issues of race, racism and ethnicity.
Papers are invited that both explore contemporary theoretical debates and consider the ways in which diverse theoretical frameworks are deployed in specific areas of study. Paper topics include, but are not restricted to, the following themes:
Organized by Babylon, Center for the Study of Superdiversity and the Network on Globalization in the Margins
Following up on a very successful workshop in June 2012, Babylon organizes a sequel workshop addressing new forms of authenticity in an age of globalization and superdiversity. The central argument in the workshop is that forms of authenticity today need to be understood in terms of complexity rather than multiplicity, and thus demand a new and creative framework for addressing them.

Workshop of the ECREA TWG Mediatization
The mediatization of politics was the very beginning of mediatization research: In the 1990s and the years following, mediatization was mainly discussed as the adaptation of ‘media rules’ or ‘journalistic logics’ to the field of politics. Following this, most of the early theorising of mediatization was related to this kind of research. However, since then the field of mediatization research has opened widely. This makes it possible to rethink the mediatization of politics in a wider frame than previously possible.
Keynote speakers:
- Nicholas Johnson, former FCC Commissioner and Visiting Faculty, University of Iowa College of Law
