Description
Welcome to the biennial SANAS conference at UZH!
In the year of the United States Semiquincentennial, the 2026 SANAS conference examines the contested histories and the current state of American un/freedoms. Whose individual rights, liberties, and freedoms matter when and why? Which different meanings have been assigned to the term freedom by political actors from across the ideological spectrum, and how have literary and cultural representations negotiated questions of un/freedom in the US (and beyond)?
