Meeting Description:

The University of Madeira and the Project Utopia and Voyage of the CEC –
Centre for Comparative Studies of the University of Lisbon are organizing a
scientific meeting entitled ''Voyage and Cosmopolitanism: From the Island to
the World'', to be held at the University of Madeira on the 25 and 26 October
2018, in partnership with several Research Centres and Institutions.

We intend to problematize various issues in the current scholarship of the
humanities and social sciences from inter- and cross-cultural perspectives:
cultural heritage, culture and globalization, identity and the sense of
belonging, the impact of (re)writing literatures and other arts within the
ethics of ''reliance'', proposed by Edgar Morin, and of the universalizing
singularities, in Alain Badiou’s view.

Citizen of a world which is increasingly liquefied and in constant rebuilding,
how have an individual and his/her geography been and still are depicted? In a
world which should not deny the frontiers, but rather question them, recalling
Galin Tihanov's perspective on the current concept of exile, as an experience
associated with creativity and / or suffering as a way of conceiving a new
cosmopolitanism in a society that recreates otherness, how can Social Sciences
and Humanities contribute to this mirroring of both the dialogue and
interrogation in various clines and categorizations?

In the many paths that Comparison, Relation and Encounter allow in a ever
changing world, our objective is to promote reflection and debate on the idea
of Cosmopolitanism, voyage and Utopia in its multiple aspects, underlying the
dialogic exchange between the local and the global and inherently the idea of
Citizenship. In this sense, we intend to broaden the discussion within the
following topic areas:

1. Voyage and Utopia
2. Peripheries and Cosmopolitanism
3. Mobility: dialogues, identities and conflicts
4. (Im) material Heritage
5. Digital cosmopolitanism
6. De-territorialization and exile
