Presentation of the CRESAB

Living Archives, the semi-annual review of the CRESAB, was published by the CRESAB from Nov. 1991 to Oct. 2006. It ceased publication after its publisher, Delagrave, was absorbed by Flammarion. It will be replaced by hard-cover collections of articles published at irregular intervals. The first one will be on the issues of nationalism discussed at the conference in April 2007 (see below). Back issues of Living Archives can still be obtained from the CRESAB.

CRESAB seminars for 2011/2012
7 March 2012, 18:00-20:00 (room J009):
Prof. Michael Rosie of Edinburgh University will discuss "Where Next? the Ever-changing 'Scottish Question'"
In May 2011 the pro-independence Scottish National Party retained control of the Scottish Government with a thumping - and unpredicted - election victory. At the heart of their manifesto had been a commitment to hold a referendum on Scotland's independence from the rest of the United Kingdom - now scheduled for Autumn 2014. The election fundamentally changed the "Scottish Question". Where once that question revolved around whether or not Scotland constituted a "nation", it has now emphatically shifted to whether that nation (now devoid of a question mark) should be a separate soverign state. In this paper I will outline the evolution of "the" Scottish Question, consider the contemporary evidence with regard both to the constitutional preference and Scotland's national identities, speculate on "where next" for Scotland, and outline why a break-up of the United Kingdom might have profound implications for other multi-national member states of the European Union.

We would also like to inform visitors to this page that the series of seminars on the counter-culture begun in 2010/2011 and sponsored by three research groups at Nancy 2 (CELJM, IDEA and CERCLE) is scheduled to continue into 2013. The most recent one took place on Jan. 13 2012, given by Xavier Landrin on " Lieux et milieux de la contre-culture : l’usage des classements chez Bruce Benderson."

We will post further information as it is received.
