Накратко на български
Интелектуалните връзки между Западна Европа и Латинска Америка (1918–1939) се анализират чрез примери като асимилацията на имигрантите в Уругвай. Това помага да се разберат процесите на глобализация, миграция и формирането на националните идентитети.

Periodic Report Summary - TMG (Intellectual relations between Western Europe and Latin America, 1918-1939)
Further to the mid-term report, there have been additional developments in the reporting period starting on 1 October 2009. In the new academic year (2009/10) I have attended two more seminars at the institute (on 'European and Atlantic networks' by Bartolomé Yun and on 'Global History' by Steve Smith and Sebastian Conrad), co-organised a workshop on 'Atlantic History', held at the EUI on 10/11 December 2009 with several external invitees, such as Profs Jeremy Adelman and Anthony McFarlane, and I have organised a panel at the conference of the Society of Latin American Studies, held in Bristol in April 2010, about migrations and national identities in Latin America, 1850-1950. I have furthermore attended and given talks/papers at conferences, workshops and seminar series in Brussels (annual meeting of the Belgian society for Latin American Studies), Glasgow (Social History Society), Newcastle (Northumbria University, seminar series in transnational history) and, again, Mexico City (Colegio de México, inaugural conference of the International Research Training Group 'Between Spaces'). Several new publications have appeared during the reporting period. First an article in the journal Past and Present ('Gauchos, gringos and gallegos: the assimilation of Italian and Spanish immigrants in the making of modern Uruguay, 1880-1930': http://past.oxfordjournals.org/content/208/1/191.extract) and another one in New Global Studies ('Globalisation and nationalism in Latin America, c. 1750-1950': http://www.bepress.com/ngs/vol3/iss3/art4/). As a result, I am satisfied with the progress of the research project and there have been no major deviations from the work planned in the initial application. In an important development I have been offered a two-year postdoctoral position at the international Research Training Group 'Between Spaces', based at the Lateinamerika-Institut of the Freie Universität Berlin. Starting on 1 February 2010, this appointment has led to a seven-month temporary suspension of my Marie Curie Fellowship at the EUI, consequently resumed on 1 September 2010. Final developments in the Marie Curie Fellowship's final months will therefore be relegated to the final report.

Цел на проекта
My research analyses how intellectual relations between Latin America and Europe in the interwar years played into the crisis of liberal models of nation-building and the rise of introspective forms of nationalism in Latin America. Although scholars have commonly stressed European ‘influences’ in Latin American thought, the ways in which Latin Americans strategically appropriated ideas from the Old World and the networks that facilitated this appropriation have been scarcely studied for the interwar period, despite the intensification and institutionalisation of intellectual contacts in these years. The (often extended) sojourns that virtually all Latin American intellectuals had in Europe before they returned to prominence in their home countries has remained a blank spot in their collective biography. Conceptualising intellectuals as both cosmopolitan mediators and constructors of national identity imaginaries, my study seeks to fill this gap. I will examine, firstly, the institutional bases of intellectual relations with Latin America in Western Europe (focusing on France and Spain) and, secondly, the collective experience of Latin American intellectuals in Western Europe and their writings about this. With this my research will make a contribution to scholarly debates about the nature of Latin America’s crisis of liberalism and rise of inward-looking nationalism in the interwar years and, secondarily, to theories about the nature of intellectual appropriations from the centre in peripheral post-colonial societies and the transnational dynamics of national identity constructions. An Intra-European Fellowship at the European University Institute, by providing excellent training and networking facilities, would help me to develop my career, offering me new research competences in European history, and to thus strengthen my already existing profile as a historian with learning and professional experiences across various European countries.
