Workshop "Negotiating Europeanness: Race, Class, and Culture in the Colonial World" - 27. Juni 2023 in Leiden (NL)

Am 27. Juni 2023 nimmt Michael Rösser an dem Workshop "Negotiating Europeanness: Race, Class, and Culture in the Colonial World" an der Universität Leiden (Niederlande) teil.

Beschreibung der Organisator*innen:

"This workshop aims to address the development of the concept and the practice of Europeanness overtime in European colonies worldwide. The focus lies on the way gradations of Europeanness were negotiated, adapted and/or modified by local actors across space and time. By bringing together scholars working on premodern and modern historians of empire and colonial interactions, we hope to stimulate a two edge discussion. On the one hand, discuss the premodern roots of modern processes of identity formation as ‘European’ in a colonial context. On the other hand, compare and contrast the way in which modern identification processes diverged from previous forms. The workshop aims to bring a better understanding of the role of local societies in shaping European colonial projects from within the colonies and show their continuities and discontinuities beyond usual historical periodisation."

Der Titel des Beitrages von Michael Rösser lautet:
“'Frugality and the Adaptability' to East Africa. Negotiating Europeanness at the Construction Sites of the Central Railway in German East Africa."
