CMES Symposium: Beyond Sacred/Secular Cities: Imagining the Nation in Urban Space

12 juni 2025 11:30 till 13 juni 2025 18:00 | Konferens
Jerusalem

How do ideas about ’the nation’ take place locally? How are imaginaries of ’a people’ represented and challenged in urban memory and forgetting? With what effects on community formation, polarisation, and everyday urban life?

Concluding the three-year CMES project Beyond Sacred/Secular Cities: Exploring the Politics of Memory, Space, and Religion, this symposium assembles scholars of multiple disciplines to critically explore how notions of ‘the city’ configure and construct nationalist imaginaries when orchestrated in urban space.

What historiographies, temporality, spatiality, materialities, aesthetics, economies, performances, soundscapes, violence, and erasures carry and contest nationalist memory? Exploring Middle Eastern urbanities and beyond, it probes national imaginaries beyond bifurcations of sacred/secular, modern/traditional, private/public, political/cultural, civic/military, and formal/informal.

Welcome!
