Call for Papers for the international conference “From Exile to Diaspora: Southeast European Intellectuals and Political Activists Abroad” (9–10 September 2026) University of Fribourg, Switzerland

From Exile to Diaspora: Southeast European Intellectuals and Political Activists Abroad

Migrations from Southeast to Western Europe have profoundly shaped societies in both regions during the second half of the twentieth century. Labor migration within the framework of bilateral recruitment agreements, political exile under authoritarian rule and during the Cold War, and forced displacement caused by the wars in Yugoslavia in the 1990s have resulted in large numbers of people of Southeast European origin living in Western Europe—populations that would later be described, both analytically and emically, in the vocabulary of “diaspora.” These developments are situated within a longer history: from imperial rule on the Balkan Peninsula through the rise of nationalism and state formation into the recent past, the migration history of Southeast Europe has consistently challenged sharp classifications and clear-cut conceptual distinctions. Populations, identities, and borders in the region have long been marked by high degrees of mobility, patterns that persisted in distinct forms throughout the post-war period. Since the mid-2010s, Southeast Europe has once again become the site of a major humanitarian tragedy along the so-called Balkan route, shaped by renewed forms of displacement and exile. At the same time, mobility within Europe has taken on new directions in the context of continued intra-European labor migration. As in earlier periods, the boundaries between different forms of cross-border movement remain blurred, making today’s transnational communities fluid and historically contingent objects of study.

Amid the growing recognition—and the simultaneous political contestation—of the idea that many Western European societies can be understood as post-migrant, scholarly interest in migration and in the role of cross-border actors and communities within these societies has intensified. However, with notable exceptions, scholarship on Southeast European migration and its afterlives in Western Europe remains empirically organized along national or binational frames, even when transnational concepts are adopted. In particular, the historical study of Southeast European transnational intellectuals and political activists would benefit from cross-area and comparative approaches. By tracing Southeast European intellectuals and political activists as mediators, organizers, and knowledge producers, the conference explores how “diaspora” is actively made through transnational practices and how political authority and claims of representation are shaped and contested through associations, networks, and media. It also highlights the often underestimated place of transnational Southeast European intellectuals and political activists in global political and intellectual history, focusing on cross-border circulations of knowledge, ideas, and practices within exile and diaspora formations. Against this background, the conference aims to strengthen systematic exchange and cooperation across Europe by developing a more differentiated historical understanding of Southeast European actors and communities shaped by exile, displacement, and migration, thereby contributing to broader transnational research on diaspora formations.

Used to capture forms of transnational connectivity, cross-border practices, and hybrid subjectivities beyond the nation-state, the concept of diaspora has become a central yet contested analytical category in the humanities and social sciences. Today, the term has acquired new meanings that differ from earlier conceptualizations, increasingly serving as a form of self-identification among people of Southeast European origin in the post-migrant societies of Western Europe. The conference title thus operates on two levels. First, it points to the evolving character of transnational communities, including their composition, practices, and relationships to host societies and societies of origin. Second, it highlights that the very terms used to describe these formations, both as analytical categories in scholarship and as modes of self-identification, are themselves subject to semantic change. Constellations of flight or forced displacement, initially experienced and framed as political exile, have sometimes come to be organized and described as “diaspora.” The aim of the conference is therefore to historicize “exile” and “diaspora” both as empirical objects of study and as descriptive categories, situating them within the broader context of Southeast European migration. Taking the post-war developments as a point of departure, the conference revisits the history of Southeast European communities in Western Europe and, rather than assuming the existence of a diaspora, asks how, when, and under what conditions diasporic formations emerged from experiences of exile, displacement, or migration.

To explore and discuss these questions, we have divided the event into five panels:
Panel 1 addresses conceptual issues surrounding the terms “exile” and “diaspora.” Panel 2 examines politically diverse forms of exile and emigration, focusing on how competing ideological projects and claims to representation took shape within diaspora communities and across borders. Panel 3 focuses on people who were active in exile and for the diaspora as part of an intellectual elite. Panel 4 considers how and where exile was possible within Southeast Europe, often as a stopover on the way to Western Europe. Panel 5 turns to Southeast European exile and diaspora in Switzerland, a topic that remains highly under-researched within the Swiss academic landscape.

We invite historians as well as scholars from adjacent fields to submit proposals. Please indicate in your abstract which panel you would prefer to join.

The abstract (max. 3,000 characters) and a short CV (max. 1 page) must be submitted by email to konstantinos.tsakmaklis@unifr.ch by 15 March 2026. The conference language will be English. Travel and accommodation costs will be covered as far as possible.

ŽENE I MIJENE: ŽENE KAO SUBJEKTI POVIJESNIH MIJENA U HRVATSKOJ (IP-2024-05-3847)  

organizira radionicu

Točke prijeloma: prekretnice u povijesti žena

Radionica je posvećena promišljanju o povijesnim procesima, događajima i strukturnim promjenama koji su označili ključne prekretnice u položaju žena u Hrvatskoj tijekom različitih povijesnih razdoblja. Pod „točkama prijeloma“ ne podrazumijevamo nužno samo velike i kanonizirane povijesne događaje, nego općenito trenutke u kojima dolazi do vidljivih pomaka ili restrikcija u mogućnostima djelovanja žena te do redefiniranja njihovih društvenih uloga i rodnih identiteta. Takve promjene mogu biti potaknute širim društvenim, kulturnim, političkim ili ekonomskim procesima, migracijama, traumatskim iskustvima, tehnološkim inovacijama ili društvenim pokretima koji ruše dotadašnja realna ograničenja.

Dijakronijski pristup radionice, od antike do 20. stoljeća, otvara mogućnost komparacije s ciljem prepoznavanja paradigama, paralela, (dis)kontinuiteta i dugotrajnih obrazaca. Posebnu pažnju posvećujemo uvažavanju intersekcionalnih razlika povezanih s klasom, etnicitetom, konfesionalnom pripadnošću, regionalnošću i drugim društvenim pozicijama.

Zanimaju nas, s jedne strane, prepoznatljive odrednice već uspostavljenih povijesnih narativa kao što su socijalne tranzicije, ratovi, epidemije, politički i religijski pokreti, obrazovne reforme, procesi izgradnje građanskog, potrošačkog ili socijalističkog društva. S druge strane, želimo otvoriti prostor za raspravu o događajima koji su u historiografiji često ostajali na razini fusnote, a imali su dalekosežne posljedice za svakodnevicu i emancipaciju žena. Ovdje se primjerice mogu ubrojiti promjene u znanju o uporabi kontracepcije te izgradnja infrastrukture koje su omogućile uključivanje udatih žena u svijet rada, tehnološka dostignuća koja su redefinirala vođenje kućanstva, pomaci u pravnim i vrijednosnim sustavima itd.

Radionica će se održati u četvrtak, 7. svibnja 2026. na Filozofskom fakultetu Sveučilišta u Zagrebu. Pozivamo sve zainteresirane da pošalju naslov i sažetak od maksimalno 150 riječi na e-mail iograjse@m.ffzg.hr do 10. ožujka 2026.

Project of the Croatian Science Foundation

WOMEN AND CHANGE: WOMEN AS SUBJECTS OF HISTORICAL CHANGE IN CROATIA (IP-2024-05-3847)

organises a workshop

Turning Points: Watersheds in Women’s History

The workshop is dedicated to reflecting on historical processes, events, and structural transformations that marked key turning points in the position of women in Croatia across different historical periods. By “turning points” we do not necessarily mean major, canonised historical events, but rather moments in which visible shifts or restrictions occurred in women’s possibilities for action, as well as in the redefinition of their social roles and gender identities. Such changes may have been driven by broader social, cultural, political, or economic processes, migrations, traumatic experiences, technological innovations, or social movements that challenged previously existing constraints.

Approaching the topic diachronically, from Antiquity to the twentieth century, the workshop opens up possibilities for comparison and for identifying paradigms, parallels, (dis)continuities, and long-term patterns. Particular attention will be paid to acknowledging intersectional differences related to class, ethnicity, confessional affiliation, regionality, and other social positions.

On the one hand, we are interested in well-established markers of existing historical narratives, such as social transitions, wars, epidemics, political and religious movements, educational reforms, and processes of building cuvic, consumer, or socialist societies. On the other hand, we aim to open up space for discussing events that have often remained footnotes in historiography, yet had far-reaching consequences for women’s everyday lives and emancipation. These include, for example, changes in knowledge and the use of contraception, the development of infrastructures that enabled married women’s participation in the labour market, technological innovations that redefined household management, as well as shifts in legal and value systems, among others.

The workshop will be held on Thursday, 7 May 2026, at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Zagreb. We invite interested participants to submit a title and an abstract of up to 150 words to iograjse@m.ffzg.hr  by 10 March 2026.
