On 2-4 May 2013 University College\u00a0\u201cCanadian Institute of Technology\u201d\u00a0<\/a>organized the International Conference \u201cNation, Nationality, Nationhood: What is in a name\u201d in collaboration with ASSE (Albanian Society for the study of English).<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Often defined in terms of commonness of culture, language, history, ethnicity, religion and spirit, the terms nation, nationhood, nationality seem to have become distant at a time when globalization, multiculturalism, intercultural or cross-cultural communication define the way we live with respect to ourselves, the others and the environment on the whole.\u00a0 Although the terms are commonly used and defined by those who work in the\u00a0 field\u00a0 of Political Science, still they have been employed and have found expression in art, literature, history,\u00a0 sociology\u00a0 and\u00a0 many\u00a0 other\u00a0 social\u00a0 and\u00a0 cultural\u00a0 disciplines.\u00a0 The terms have usually become more emphatic in\u00a0 times\u00a0 of\u00a0 hardships\u00a0 for\u00a0 a\u00a0 country,\u00a0 especially\u00a0 during\u00a0 foreign invasion. Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori once summoned together people of different age and background to defend one\u2019s country and culture.\u00a0\u00a0 Despite this, this sense of commonness as defined above is hard to maintain in present day society, when social, economic,\u00a0 demographic,\u00a0 technological\u00a0 and\u00a0 other\u00a0 developments\u00a0 take place in an eye shut. The exchange of cultures, the erasure of borders and boundaries have given way to a globalized world in which all cultures negotiate. Thus, in the present society a new feeling of commonness appears to define nation, nationality and nationhood.<\/p>

In this Conference were invited scholars to join in the reconsideration of these concepts with hope to provide an intriguing ground for new perspectives and definitions of these concepts in the twenty-first century context.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Some possible topics the conference aims at addressing include:<\/p>
