SUMMARY:Crossing Borders: Transnational Perspectives on Life-Writing and Ego-Documents
DESCRIPTION:Personal narratives such as diaries\, letters\, memoirs\, and autobiographies often capture experiences of migration\, exile\, and cultural transition that are less visible in other forms of documentation. This conference seeks to explore how ego-documents function as records of transnational experience\, linguistic negotiation\, and cultural hybridity. Ego-documents allow for what Iriye and Saunier (2009) termed the ‘links and flows’ between states and the history of ‘people\, ideas\, products\, processes and patterns’ to be elucidated. The study of the diary or the letter for example allows the scholar insight into peoples’ movement ‘over\, across\, through\, beyond\, above\, under\, or in-between polities and societies’. Whilst a notoriously ‘slippery’ term in various parts of the humanities and social sciences\, transnationality prompts a wide array of avenues with which conference participants can traverse.\n\n\n\n\nWe are delighted to announce that Professor Eva Kovacs (Vienna Wiesenthal Institute) will deliver the keynote address\, focusing on the history of Jewish life in Hungary through ego-documents. We invite proposals from scholars at all career stages\, especially early career researchers\, that address life-writing and ego-documents in transnational and multilingual contexts. Papers may focus on individual case studies\, comparative approaches\, methodological innovation\, or theoretical reflections. \nPossible themes include (but are not limited to): \n\nGerman-Jewish ego-documents and cultural identity\nEuropean life-writing from mediterranean to Eastern European contexts\nDigital humanities approaches to multilingual personal narratives\nHistorical perspectives on life-writing across cultures\nColonial and postcolonial life-writing traditions\nWomen’s life-writing and gendered voices across borders\nLiterary influence and cross-linguistic creative dialogues\nContemporary digital life-writing in global contexts\nScript-switching and multimodal ego-documents\nMigration narratives and transcontinental archives\nIndigenous life-writing and linguistic sovereignty\n\n\nTuesday\, 14 April 2026 (one-day conference)\nUniversity of Southampton\n\nFormat: In-person \n  \n\nThis event is made possible through funding from the MHRA and the GHS\, as well as institutional support from the organisers’ universities and research institutes. Additional funding applications are underway\, which we hope will further support participation and accessibility. \nCall for papers: https://www.lbilondon.ac.uk/news/2025/10/call-papers-crossing-borders-transnational-perspectives-life-writing-and-ego-documents \n\n        .      \n  \n
