Round-table discussion: Nation and Narrative; Challenges Moving Forward
Type of Abstract (select):Abstract (max. 250 words):
This round-table aims to foster lively discussion on the past, present, and future of nation-building in Canada, Hungary, and other successor states of the former Habsburg Empire. Using examples of national narratives that have been employed in some cases since 1867, participants will examine the meaning of sovereignty and the nation-state in a globalized world, as well as the situation and representation of national, ethnic, and indigenous minorities within their respective societies. By encouraging discussion with the audience, the round-table will explore aspects of the overall Congress theme from an international and multidisciplinary perspective.
