Visualizing the Nation

Visualizing the Nation. Post-Socialist ImagiNations | International conference in English.

Specter of nationalism is haunting Europe and not just in the former-East but in the former-West as well. The conference, however, intends to focus on the Central and Eastern European region after the fall of communism. It focuses on the visual dimensions of nationalism, as it is considered one of the most visual of all political currents. Still, conferences on nationalism, though abundant, hardly ever address the connection. This one broadens the scope of interpretation, moving beyond an exploration of the political, sociological and philosophical aspects of the “imagined communities” of the present, and centers instead on the often overlooked but fundamental course of visualization of the Nation.

The conference is staged as a concomitant event of the closing exhibition of the Private Nationalism Project (at the Budapest History Museum / Kiscell Museum Municipal Gallery and Budapest Gallery, Oct. 28‒Dec. 15, 2015) entitledImagined Communities, Personal Imaginations, Private Nationalism Budapest.
