Call for papers for the 5th edition of the Bucharest – Chișinău conferences “Identity, patrimony, globalization”

Between March 21^st and 22^nd 2024, the Faculty of Philosophy and the Faculty of History of the University of Bucharest, together with the Faculty of History and Philosophy of the State University of Moldova organize, in hybrid format, the 5^th edition of the series of conferences Bucharest-Chișinău, themed Identity, patrimony, globalization.

This year’s edition of the Bucharest – Chișinău Conferences wishes to be a significant mark for the series of events through which the UB community celebrates 160 years since the founding of the University of Bucharest and 330 years of academic tradition in Bucharest, by highlighting the special role – scientific, but also affective – that its relation to the State University of Moldova occupies. Details regarding the organizing committee of the conference are available here.

Titles and abstracts will be sent by February 20^th 2024 by means of this form. The results of the selection will be published by March 4^th 2024.

The current geopolitical context is indeed a challenging one, not just regarding the different types of identity (community related, local, national), but also regarding the phenomenon of globalization itself, which until recently was seen by theoreticians and the large audience as being an almost undefeatable one. Obviously, historians and philosophers, but also researchers from similar areas, are in the front line of the intellectual effort to decipher the multiple meanings involved in the recent global events (the pandemic, broad armed conflicts, hybrid wars, the development of AI).

The works of the conference constitute not just the occasion to renew the traditional meeting between renowned specialists from the two university centers, but also an excellent opportunity to hold quality scientific debates bringing together other significant personalities from the field of socio-humanities.
