Ex uno plures: Post-Yugoslav Cultural Spaces and Europe
Friday, 26 March 2010–Saturday, 27 March 2010
1501 International Affairs Building

The goal of this conference will be to explore post-Yugoslav cultural spaces by bringing together and facilitating dialogue between an unprecedented concentration of leading intellectuals, both from the former Yugoslav territories and from the West. Alongside opening questions of difference and commonality, the conference will also address issues such as how can the post-Yugoslav spaces—and even micro-spaces—respond to the challenges of globalization?
