Meeting Description:

Migrations have always been an important influence on human history, society,
and social change, across different historical periods and various contexts.
They can be rural, urban, and suburban or national and international, external
or internal, forced or voluntary, permanent or temporary, organized or
spontaneous, and seasonal. Due to the diverse causes and effects of
contemporary migrations, the research into issues raised by migration
phenomena encompasses various scientific disciplines and methods. Different
academic skills and methodological approaches used in research on migrations
produce different scientific results.

Postcolonial research into British culture, colonial literature, and
sociolinguistic issues of language contact (e.g. pidgin and creole languages),
has for a long time occupied an important position in the study of English.
However, new migration phenomena that appeared in the 20th century raise new
research questions on the impact of migrations on culture and language. After
the waves of migration set off by colonial expansion and imperial conquest
subsided, the new political developments in the 20th century set in motion new
migration flows in Europe, and across the world. Massive waves of migration
have been set off by World War II due to the totalitarian politics which
excluded anyone perceived as a threat to the national ideology. New forms of
migration have also been triggered by the contemporary political scene which
is on the one hand marked by globalization, and on the other hand by new
political tendencies which strive to unite the European countries into a
single state – the European Union. Contemporary migration trends are accounted
for by the crumbling of the modern nation-state, and the establishment of new
transnational communities. The fluidity of national and cultural boundaries
became increasingly important with respect to global terrorism and war on
terror. The new economic climate grounded in liberal capitalism and free
market economy encourages economic migration. In addition, the last two years
have been marked by the migrant crisis set in motion by numerous armed
conflicts in the Middle East.  Migrations remain an important part of English
studies, both within the postcolonial paradigm of imperial conquest and
colonization, as well as with respect to contemporary migration issues.

The aim of the HDAS conference of English studies is to initiate research into
the impact of migrations on English language and literature, in various
historical periods, and from diverse perspectives. What is the impact of
globalization on national communities? Does the weakening of national
identities, often related to nationalism, necessarily imply the creation of
more democratic communities? Can we talk of local cultures and communities, or
does transnationalism involve a complete loss of identity? What are the
implications of the counter-terrorist policies introduced after 9/11?  How
does literature respond to the trauma of exile? What is the status of English
language in the global world?
