RSPH-member Adam Dargiewicz will be presenting a paper at this Conference: ‘Imagining ‘Bulwark of Europe’: The Duchy of Warsaw in International Relations (1807–1815)’.

The conference marks the 25th anniversary of the symposium cycle Culture and International History, that began in 1999 and has since taken place in Wittenberg, Frankfurt, Cologne, and Berlin. Key themes and contributions are published in Berghahn Books’ series Explorations in Culture and International History (Oxford, New York) since 2003. The conference Culture and International History VII will be dedicated to the topic of “Uncertain Boundaries.” Boundaries have received increasing attention in public, political, and scholarly debates in recent years, much inspired by scholars such as Nira Yuval-Davies (2020) and others. In contrast to physical borders (frontiers, national, imperial, natural borders, property lines) boundaries, as a concept, highlight the interplay of territorial, physical borders with their attendant sociopolitical and cultural consequences.
