ARENA, a new international organization, invites proposals for a symposium
focusing on nationalism and national identity in the Americas. Our symposium
will be open to a wide range of subjects and methodologies involving all nations
of the Americas, but we are especially interested in comparative, transnational
approaches to subjects of particular relevance to the formation of nations in
the Americas:

    * The Americas and the trans-Atlantic exchange of ideas and models
    * Independence and liberation movements
    * Nation-building and state construction: integration, unification, ethnic
autonomy, and secession
    * Nationalism and national identity in multi-ethnic immigrant nations
    * Nationalism as a plural and contested identity
    * The American nations of the New Millennium: plurality, sexual diversity,
multiculturalism, democracy and recognition 

Deadline: February 21, 2005 (preliminary round).
Final Deadline: September 15, 2005.
