INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS OF AMERICANISTS “BUILDING DIALOGUES IN THE AMERICAS”
Vice President of the Organizing Committee
Americanist scholarship is marked by a vibrant diversity of ontological, epistemological, and methodological questions. Since its inception, Americanists have gathered at ICA meetings to discuss empirical and normative scholarship, liberal and conservative politics, positivist and post-positivist perspectives, as well as activists and theoretical approaches, among other things. While these specializations often have been artificially separated, we aim to facilitate sharing of insights, questions, methods and viewpoints that could foster dynamic dialogues.
We want to promote self-reflection and encourage trans-disciplinary dialogues. Henceforth, we invite proposals for symposia that emphasize conjunctions between disciplines, subfields, theories and methods.
The congress takes place in Vienna, Austria, July 15 – 20, 2012

Conference: Shah Rukh Khan and Global Bollywood
In recent years the ci
rculation of Indian Cinema in a globalized world has become a focus of academic research from a wide range of disciplines and theoretical perspectives. A growing number of publications and conferences have been dedicated to the topic that embraces films and audiences as well as diverse cultural practises and performances. Furthermore, the role of the ICT in these processes has emerged as a new point of interest, in particular in regard to the study of participant audiences and fan cultures. The relationship of Bollywood with post colonialism, global flows, and transcultural processes functions as the overarching framework that shapes cinema contexts today.
The congress took place in Vienna, Austria, September 30th – 2nd October, 2010
