In the months following the vote, the media continue to report on an almost daily basis about efforts by the \u2018Remainers\u2019 to reverse the referendum result, or on attempts by the \u2018Leavers\u2019 to speed up the triggering of Article 50. Tragically, the media also report on an almost daily basis about repercussions of the referendum on European \u2018migrant\u2019 communities. Verbal and physical abuse against Europeans living and working in Britain is on a terrifying increase and racially-motivated crime is rising steeply. The referendum, and its aftermath, have highlighted a deep division within British society with some groups becoming increasingly politically active to ensure the rights of European residents and delay or forestall \u2018Brexit\u2019, while others have appeared to retreat behind a \u2018Little England\u2019 discourse that aims to \u2018make Britain great again\u2019 and \u2018get our country back\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>This conference, on the first anniversary of the 2016 Referendum, aims to look at the social and cultural repercussions of the Brexit vote, assessing the future of Britain within the EU, as well as the future of Europeans within Britain. Bringing together academics from a variety of disciplines \u2013 Literature, History, Politics, Sociology, Cultural Studies, Creative Writing, Area Studies \u2013 as well as creative practitioners, representatives of local European minority groupings and local politicians, the conference aims to offer a fertile ground for a cultural debate on \u2018Brexit\u2019 and its ramifications.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the topics that could be addressed are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Presentations\/(Re)presentations of contemporary Englishness &amp; Britishness, in particular with a focus on \u2018Britons in Europe\u2019 and \u2018Europeans in Britain\u2019 in literature, film, media, etc.<\/li>\n<li>Social, historical and cultural representations of European minority groups in Britain<\/li>\n<li>Local and national responses of European citizens to the referendum and ensuing treatment<\/li>\n<li>Historical, political and\/or cultural legacies of Britain\u2019s relationship with Europe<\/li>\n<li>Community\/activist responses to the vote (both \u2018Leave\u2019 and \u2018Remain\u2019)<\/li>\n<li>Legacies and impacts of migration between Britain and Europe in the past and present<\/li>\n<li>Social pressure and cultural impacts on policy making<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The conference will also include a public evening discussion event bringing together creative practitioners and representatives of local community groups to discuss the cultural and social consequences of Brexit.<\/p>\n<p>Please send 200-250 words abstracts and a brief bio sketch to the organisers, Dr Christine Berberich, <a href=\"mailto:Christine.berberich@port.ac.uk\">Christine.berberich@port.ac.uk<\/a> and Dr Jodi Burkett, <a href=\"mailto:Jodi.burkett@port.ac.uk\">Jodi.burkett@port.ac.uk<\/a> by Sunday, 29<sup>th<\/sup> January 2017.<\/p>\n<p>**EDIT** Deadline for abstracts now extended to <strong>February 5th<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer; top: 507px; left: 470px;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Britain in Europe, Europe in Britain.\u00a0A Two-Day Interdisciplinary Conference.\u00a0Thursday June 22nd &amp; Friday June 23rd 2017 at the University of Portsmouth.
