“Borders and Ethno-Nationalism: The State of/in Americanist Studies in the Long Nineteenth Century”
The 2025 biannual symposium of BrANCA: The British Association of Nineteenth Century Americanists will take place on December 12-13, 2025 at Université Paris Cité, France, and virtually.
Gathering outside the UK for the first time since BrANCA’s founding is an invitation to ponder collectively what it means to be a nineteenth-century Americanist today, in a world of resurgent borders and identities; a world where what we may have too hastily taken for granted—fluid ontologies, veer ecologies, democratic futurities, queer unmoorings—suddenly seem obsolete or utopic anew.
