Transatlantic Perceptions

Transatlantic Perceptions is a research project initiated by the Center for the Study of the Americas at Copenhagen Business School. The project considers attitudes towards Europe among US policymakers and the broader American public. It assesses opinion regarding European society, culture and demography, economies and markets, Europe as a trading partner and economic competitor, European foreign and defence policies, and perceptions of the European political process.

Utopia y globalizacion - utopías contemporáneas en América Latina

English title: Utopia and Globalization – Contemporary Utopias en Latin America

This volume, to be published in 2007 and co-edited by Colegio de Sonora (CS) and Center for the Study of the America (CSA), contains 7 contributions and an introduction. Editors are Jan Gustafsson (CSA), Helene Balslev (CSA/CS) and Mario Velázquez (CS). The book is inspired by a conference held in the spring of 2005 at the CSA. Contributors are from Denmark (CSA-CBS and the University of Aalborg), Mexico (CS) and Spain (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid).

The contributions take their point of departure in a contemporary vision of the idea of ‘Utopia’ as an element present in various dimensions of modern societies, e.g. in politics, urbanism and consumption. The contributions analyze how this idea of an ‘ideal society’ is part of contemporary economic and political projects.

Projections of Power

Projections of Power in the Americas is an international, inter-university publication project whose primary object is to investigate the ways in which power or the discourse of power is represented in or projected onto society (or segments of society) in the Americas. The current project will involve discussions of the framing of political discourses, symbolic representations of presidential power, iconography, the struggle over collective memories and the counter-strategies involved in notions of empowerment.

Multiculturalism and integration in the Americas

Multiculturalism and integration in the Americas is an inter-departmental research and outreach project designed to uncover the mechanisms of cultural interaction in time and space across the Americas. While in Europe concepts such as diversity, multiculturalism and immigration are seen by many as phenomena related to the most recent processes of globalization – welcomed by some because of its potential for economic and/or cultural renewal and seen by others as a threat to identities and societies – in the Americas these phenomena cannot but be seen as fundamental elements in the very existence and creation of culture and society.
