Comparative Philology was one of the fast developing branches of scientific and scholarly activities during the 19th and mid 20th centuries. Prosperous spin-offs from this field were Comparative Literature and Folklore as well as the different national philologies, including the studies of Germanic, Scandinavian, and Finno-Ugric cultures and languages, but even Germanic Antiquity and Lappology.

Conference, September 25-27.2014 CENS, University of Helsinki

Mapping Europe’s North and South is an under-researched part of image studies within humanities and social sciences. We invite scholars of these fields to present and detect previous and ongoing research tied to the mental mapping of the binary North and South within Europe. The cardinal directions of North and South have been perceived in various ways according to different spatial-temporal perspectives. The ideological production of space lies in the core of mapping practices defining Europe in the past and up to the present.
