31st American Indian Workshop “Transformation, Translation, Transgression: Native American Culture in Contact and Context,” Prague, March 25-28, 2010

Department of Anglophone Literatures and Cultures and The National Museum - Náprstek Museum are proud to host this year's American Indian Worksop coordinated by Dr Klára Kolinská.

The American Indian Workshop (AIW) is the most important scholarly platform for European researchers into issues related to the native peoples of North America. The goal of the AIW is to provide a platform for established academics and young scholars to share their expertise and experiences as well as to benefit from one another's critical engagement. The meetings, hosted each year by a different European scholarly institution, are now regarded as the most important in Native American Studies worldwide. The domain of Native American Studies is enriched by scholars from such diverse disciplines as history, literature, anthropology, art history, gender studies, museology, ethnomusicology, religion, law, linguistics, political science, cultural studies, philosophy, Canadian and American Studies, Native American studies, performance studies, communication and media studies. The AIW has become the most innovative venue in Europe for all involved with the scholarly pursuit of this theme as well as being the place where Native American scholars and performers are honored and find a welcome reception.
