This international and interdisciplinary workshop explores the role of narrative constructions and processes in cultural conflicts. Organized by the Trinity Long Room Hub Arts & Humanities Research Institute, the School of Languages, Literatures and Cultural Studies at Trinity College Dublin, and the University of Vienna, it brings together prominent experts from a range of backgrounds, disciplines and countries.Its leading hypothesis is that narratives do not just mirror conflicts, but, in their performative dimension, equally mould and sequence events through their respective narrative formats.This workshop thus situates itself between literary studies and cultural analysis:• It analyses the function of narratives for conflictual processes in culture and society, looking in particular at the relationship between culture and power; • It thematises tensions within modernity since 1900 by exploring examples from different epochs,historical constellations, genres and text types; • It investigates how narratives and counter-narratives interpret and shape reinterpretations of identities in and through cultural conflicts. The workshop thus contributes to Trinity College Dublin’s research theme on Identities in Transformation which is championed by the Trinity Long Room Hub.http://www.tcd.ie/trinitylongroomhub/assets/documents/narratives%20workshop.pdf
