Introduction

The Flying University of Transnational Humanities (FUTH) is an annual summer school for graduate students and young scholars interested in the transnational paradigm of humanistic inquiry. FUTH takes its name and immediate inspiration from Poland’s Flying University, an underground institution in the nineteenth century that offered an alternative education outside the confines of state control and government censorship. The program is particularly concerned with developing critical understandings that resist the ideological and conceptual hegemony of the nation-state and the epistemological and hermeneutic conventions that support it. This does not mean that FUTH seeks to dispense with the “national” and construct a reified “transnational” with which to replace it, or to foster “transnationalism” as an ideological alternative to “nationalism.” Rather, FUTH aims to free our imaginations from essentialist approaches to the nation or the state and to offer new ways of thinking about the political, social and cultural order of the world, both past and present. The Flying University of Transnational Humanities is accordingly: • Trans-cultural: FUTH not only critically examines the production and circulation of transnational knowledge and culture, but it also problematizes imagined geographies of the “East” and the “West.” We explore periods, places, and subjects as fluid and hybrid, rather than as confined and constrained by geopolitical or cultural boundaries. • Trans-disciplinary: FUTH seeks to comprehend the complex nature of various transcultural issues through transdisciplinary approaches. To that end, FUTH is open to scholars, educators, researchers and students from all academic specializations. • Trans-institutional: FUTH is an intellectual network, founded and run by a global consortium of scholars, departments, and institutions. With the support of this network, we hope to facilitate transcultural and transdisciplinary collaborations.

Founding Meeting of FUTH the Steering Committee

The 5th annual meeting of the Flying University of Transnational Humanities marks the founding meeting of the FUTH Steering Committee. Members will participate in two evening meetings, on Monday and Wednesday, June 23rd and 25th. At these meetings, the Steering Committee will formally constitute itself, confirm its governance structures, schedule the 2015 FUTH summer school, develop initial plans for selected activities in the global interconnection of humanities and social science scholarship, and consider further expansion in its membership. Support for the 2014 founding meeting of the Steering Committee was provided by a grant from the Humanities Center of the University of Pittsburgh.
