Meeting Description:

We are looking for individual and/or group proposals for papers from both
historians and linguists on the current Euro-American relations, with a focus
on Donald Trump's administration, but also looking at the period between the
end of the Cold War and the crisis of the Atlantic policy, a period covering
the thirty years between 1989 and 2019. The US-Europe relations have been
crucial in the history of both the US and European nations in cultural,
social, political and military terms. While there have been some important
moments of crisis in the long history of the US-Europe relations, it is clear
that Donald Trump's election as US President and the new threats to the
political and economic cohesion within the EU have brought these relations to
a totally new state of tension. Papers may address one or more key issues
which are relevant to Euro-American relations today, including:

- Discourses of nationalisms and populisms;
- The role of multilateral institutions (e.g. the EU, NATO, the UN) and the
perceived loss of their importance;
- The role played by mass media and social media in the construction of the
public sphere and the circulation of ideas and languages between Europe and
the US
- Discourses of immigration, fear, security;
- Market, protectionism and fair trade.

Organizing and Scientific Committees members (University of Turin): Giovanni
Borgognone, Andrea Carosso, Michelangelo Conoscenti, Massimiliano Demata,
Marco Mariano, Umberto Morelli, Rachele Raus, Francesca Somenzari.
Keynote speakers: Nicole Dewandre (European Commission - Joint Research
Centre), Mario Del Pero (University of Paris - Sciences Po).


Call for Papers:

Abstracts (of up to 300 words plus references) for paper presentations of 20
minutes (plus 5 minutes for questions) should be sent by 13 January 2019 to
toeu at unito.it . Authors should describe the research method employed and
highlight the connection of the paper proposed with the topic of the
Conference.

Abstracts should include the author’s affiliation and email. Authors of
successful abstracts will be notified on 1 March 2019.

The conference organizers are planning to publish a selection of papers as a
special issue of a journal or as an edited volume.
