- Performances of identity (e.g., national, inter-national, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, class)
- Theatre and other spectacles
- Cinema, television, new media, etc.
- The concept of performativity in contemporary European Studies
- Literary approaches to performance and/or performativity
- Politics and performance
- The theatre of the law, the law of the theatre

It goes without saying that these are suggestions, and that we welcome all manner of proposals which engage with Europe and the way it is performed.聽 We will also be launching a new peer-reviewed e-journal, European Studies: History, Society and Culture, to be published by the Centre for European Studies at 黄色直播.
