Description of Conference: The aim of the conference is to explore the role intellectual and revolutionary diasporas played in creating, disseminating and negotiating ideas, and in producing shared values, principles and discursive patterns among patriots of different national origins. It seeks to study how ideas are shaped, how they circulate, and the contribution that diasporas themselves gave to the main ideological currents advocating change in the post-revolutionary world: patriotism, republicanism, liberalism, etc. It will focus on the interaction between the intellectual communities of the European and Mediterranean centres and these diasporas, as well as contacts and exchanges between different diasporas. It hopes to look not only at displaced intellectuals from Europe and the Mediterranean, but also at those coming to these regions from other continents. By looking at trans-national exchanges and trans-national civil societies, it seeks to de-nationalize the study of national consciousness, encourage comparative analysis and study the connections, relations and exchanges between different intellectual traditions and currents
