CALL FOR PAPERS
Beyond Methodological Nationalism: Researching Transnational
Spaces, Cross-Border Diffusion, and Transnational Histories
Organized by the Bielefeld Graduate School in History and Sociology (BGHS)Bielefeld University (Germany, 22 - 23 April 2010)
The criticism of methodological nationalism has opened up new ways to conduct research on global and transnational dynamics. Nowadays, the common methodological statement is that societal spaces cannot be regarded as equal to territorial spaces. Prominent methodological proposals are suggested by the global ethnography approach, the cosmopolitan theory, and the transnational approach. While the first combines large-scale ethnography with detailed
examinations of everyday life, the second proposes to conduct research simultaneously on different spatial scales, such as global, transnational, national, and local dimensions. And the third, the transnational approach, refers to relational concepts of spatiality. Thus, this conference will link debates on new methodological approaches with the discussion of problematic issues within empirical research on global and transnational transformations.
