Announcing a Conference at the University of Pittsburgh, sponsored by the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures Interzone EU: Crossroads of Migration22-23 February 2008The freedom for all its citizens to travel and reside anywhere in the territory of the EU is celebrated as one of its major accomplishments. Immigration, emigration, migration brings peoples into contact, transforming habits, shifting languages, and contributing to the dynamism of European cultures. Yet, this officially-celebrated European cultural diversity is not necessarily embraced by all European’s equally. Beginning from the point that Europe is an interzone, a space of transit, interaction, transformation, and vibrant diversity, the conference will illuminate the impact of migration on European culture, literature, and film.
