<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">EUROPEAN SOCIETIES have recently turned toward more austere political regimes. Evidence of this can be seen in budget cuts, management of
the labor market and restrictions of welfare systems, as well as in new regimes of migration and citizenship. In the wake of these changes new forms of social inclusion and exclusion appear that are justified through a reactivation of differences of race,
class and gender, all this serving, in its turn, to justify new forms of labor extraction and the formation of a new underclass or “precariat”. Another consequence is that democracy itself has become precarious. While the agents and adherents of austerity
programs impose themselves as democracy’s saviors, practitioners of democracy find themselves pushed toward the extra-parliamentary margins.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">This symposium will investigate how a current politics of austerity affects our cultural memory. Are we witnessing a turn toward austerity
in theories and practices of historiography, as well as in pedagogies of history? Can we speak of an austere historiography, an enforcement of conformity on Europe past and present?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">This symposium will thus seek to extract the correlation between how minorities, migrants and their descendants are treated by present policies
and how memories and experiences of migrants, minorities and colonized peoples are treated in historiography and historical pedagogy. By bringing together a group of distinguished European scholars who have examined Europe’s colonial past in relation to migration,
historiography and cultural heritage, the symposium will elucidate how new regimes of historiography and memory culture relate to integration, discrimination, and social segmentation in the present.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
