The 3rd International Conference on Conceptual History, “Conceptualising Modernity in the Central and Southeastern European Cultures: Notions, Discourses and Languages”, Timişoara, Romania, 8-11th October 2014

The Centre for Advanced Studies in History, the “Reinhart Koselleck“ International Doctoral School of Conceptual History, both functioning within the West University of Timişoara, the Institute of History of RWTH Aachen (Modern History Chair) and the Timişoara Art Museum organised an international scientific conference and invited researchers to participate in an interdisciplinary dialogue among historians, linguists, philosophers and sociologists. The central theme of the conference was how modernity is reflected in the languages, notions, concepts and discourses in Central and Southeastern Europe and what kind of local, regional, national and transnational breaches have existed in this area. The organisers encouraged dichotomist approaches, such as local-national, national- European, centre-periphery, we-you, friend- enemy, East-West, etc. The conference offered valuable presentations covering a wide range of topics, but still in connection with its central theme of the conceptualisation of modernity. The organisers informed the gathered researchers that their contributions would be published in a collective volume in Germany. This meeting of scholars should be an excellent incentive for similar conferences in the near future.
