DESCRIPTION:The empires that once defined the political geography of Europe
  are no more. One cannot meet a Prussian\, Romanov\, Habsburg\, or Ottoman
  today\; these dusty categories of affiliation have ceded to myriad nation
 al identities. Yet it would be mistaken to assume that Europe’s bygone e
 mpires have become mere relics of history. Imperial pasts continue to insp
 ire nostalgia\, identification\, pride\, anxiety\, skepticism\, and disdai
 n in the present. The afterlives of empires as objects of memory exceed hi
 storical knowledge\, precisely because these afterlives shape and recast t
 he present and the future. Simultaneously\, present- and future-oriented i
 mperatives accentuate imperial pasts in selective ways\, yielding new conf
 igurations of post-imperial amnesia as well as memory. Our conference brin
 gs together an interdisciplinary group of scholars working on post-imperia
 l legacies in relation to a variety of specific cities\, including Vienna\
 , Istanbul\, Budapest\, Sarajevo\, Trieste\, Thessaloniki\, Zagreb\, and B
 elgrade. Our contributors pursue the politics and cultures of memory in re
 lation to two general\, interrelated questions: What are the effects of im
 perial legacies on contemporary cities? and\, How do present-day urban pro
 cesses reshape the forms of post-imperial memory and forgetting?
