Description

Empires do not only expand in space, they also extend over time. Inscribed in every imperial domination is a cultural representation of its aspiration to endure, just as no empire manages to halt its decline over time. The theme of this round table is the temporality of continental empires -from the Portuguese to the Russian, through the Hispanic, Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman- between the Early Modern and Modern Ages: their rise and decline, but also the loss of possessions and the nostalgia for a glorious past mark post-imperial cultures in modernity, especially those of the metropolises.
With this activity, the round table attempts a first joint approach to a common historical experience, through a dialogue between specialists in continental imperial cultures in changing historical contexts.
