Centre for Research on the Cultural Forms of Modern European Politics (CultMEP)
CultMEP is an interdisciplinary research centre which aims to develop new approaches to the study of political identities in modern Europe. It brings together recent trends in political history - notably the focus on citizenship, liberal governmentality, and mechanisms of political exclusion - with cultural historians' focus on imagined communities, memory, and the symbolic representation of belonging. Following the Centre's successful inaugural conference in March 2006, the Centre is hosting a wide-ranging programme of research projects, international conferences and roundtables, as detailed under events.
