This volume presents the proceedings of a Coimbra Group conference on networking across borders
and frontiers in European culture and society that took place at the University of Graz in
September 2007. Organised by the Task Force on Culture Arts and Humanities it brought together
researches from ten different European countries and an array of disciplines across the
Humanities and Social Sciences spectrum from Cultural Anthropology European Ethnology
History Literary Studies and Fine Arts to Peace Studies Sociology and Political Sciences. It
explores the capacity of the frontier-network binary for describing and analysing historical
cultural and political processes in the formation of European cultures and societies past and
present and across national and disciplinary boundaries.
