„Być w mniejszości, być mniejszością” (Projekt międzynarodowej interdyscyplinarnej konferencji naukowej)

The project of international scientific conference, inspired by the thought of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, encourages to look from the position of different disciplines and research methodologies at broadly understood minority problematics. The following specific issues have been proposed as a subject of reflection: minority identity; dependency, anti-dependency and post-dependency aspects of the relationship between the minority and the majority; borderland phenomenon; center–periphery relations; spatial mobility vs minorities; cultural difference; meeting people of different cultures; multiculturalism vs interculturalism and transculturalism; minority discourse on minorities. At the same time, the issue of minority is placed on the grounds of “long duration”, regarded as an important part of the intellectual heritage of the Enlightenment, applied or rejected in the modern concept of a man (the ideas of freedom, equality, human rights, tolerance) and in the ways the description of the World is constructed (categories essentialism, normativity, universalism).
