> The 2nd Flying University of Transnational Humanities
> A Summer School for Graduate Students and Young Scholars
>
> The Flying University of Transnational Humanities (FUTH) is an annual
> summer school and year-round online forum for researchers and graduate
> students interested in the transnational paradigm of humanistic inquiry.
>
> FUTH takes its name and immediate inspiration from Poland's Flying
> University, an underground institution which offered an alternative
> education outside the remit of state control and government censorship.
> FUTH is particularly concerned with developing critical understandings
> that are resistant to the ideological and ideational hegemony of the
> nation-state and the epistemological and hermeneutic conventions that
> support it. This does not mean that FUTH seeks to dispense with the
> "national" and construct a reified "transnational" to replace it or to
> foster "transnationalism" as an ideological alternative to "nationalism".
> FUTH aims to free our imaginations from the regime of the nation-state and
> to offer new ways of thinking about the political, social and cultural
> order of the world, both past and present.
>
> The Flying University of Transnational Humanities is "in session" once per
> year for one week, and will normally be held during summer vacation. The
> host site changes on an annual or bi-annual basis and rotates between
> partner institutions. FUTH online runs year-round: through its dedicated
> website, a permanent online space will be provided for interactive
> discussions. All institutions, departments, and scholars are welcome to
> participate both offline and online.
>
> Each year, FUTH will have a different cross-disciplinary theme around
> which the sessions will be organized. Renowned scholars from partner and
> other institutions will be invited to share their ideas in lectures and
> discussions. The FUTH steering and advisory committees, in conjunction
> with faculty members of partner institutions and other specialists, will
> prepare lecture syllabi and reading lists. Student participants are
> expected to study the readings in advance of each lecture and seminar
> discussion. A selected number of participants will also have an
> opportunity to present their ongoing research. All lectures, seminars
> and presentations will be held in English, in principle, while the
> possibility of translingual practices will be explored.
>
> The 2nd FUTH will take place at the Research Institute of Comparative
> History and Culture, Hanyang University, Seoul, Korea, June 25-29, 2011.
> Under the subheading of "Border-crossing Self", we hope to gather diverse
> research and knowledge on border-related (cross-border or bordering)
> issues such as migration, ethnicity, language, citizenship and gender and
> open up a forum for discussions on the (un)making of the trans/national
> self.
