Международна научна конференция "Contextualizing Changes: Migrations, Shifting Borders and New Identities in Eastern Europe"

От 8 до 10 октомври секция „Историческа етнология“ на ИЕФЕМ – БАН организира международна научна конференция на тема: “Contextualizing Changes: Migrations, Shifting Borders and New Identities in Eastern Europe”, която ще се проведе в залите на хотел „Дом на учения“, бул. „Шипченски проход“ 50 в София. На нея ще бъдат представени най-новите достижения на учените от ИЕФЕМ – БАН в областта на изследване на миграциите, променящите се идентичности, социалните и културни трансформации в редица страни от Източна Европа.

В конференцията ще вземат участие общо 55 учени – 31 от България (ИЕФЕМ – БАН, Пловдивски университет „Паисий Хилендарски“, Великотърновски университет „Св. св. Кирил и Методий“ и Шуменски университет „Епископ Константин Преславски“) и 24 изследователи от 13 страни в чужбина (Австрия, Белгия, Великобритания, Германия, Македония, Полша, Румъния, САЩ, Словения, Сърбия, Украйна, Хърватия и Чехия). Сред поканените да изнесат пленарни доклади учени са проф. Карл Казер от Университета в Грац, проф. Джон Ийд от Университета Рохамптън в Лондон, проф. Раймонд Детрез от Университета в Гент в Белгия и др.

Конференцията ще бъде предшествана от публичната лекция на проф. Карл Казер "Visualizing the Balkans: The Balkan Wars, the Great War and Visual Modernity", която ще се състои на 7 октомври от 18 часа в зала 19 на ИЕФЕМ – БАН на ул. „Московска“ 6А.

Паралелно на конференцията в залите на хотел „Дом на учения“ ще бъдат представени две изложби: първата на Роберт Пихлер от Хумболтовия университет в Берлин, на тема: "Staging the Nation. 'Skopje 2014' and the Claim for Recognition", а втората – на Антонина Якимова, вицепрезидент на Сдружението на украинските организации в България, на тема: “Ukrainian Diaspora in Sofia – the Old and New Identities”.

Както конференцията, така и предвидените след нея публикации ще позволят резултатите от изследванията на българските учени да бъдат сравнени с най-добрите международни постижения и да бъдат популяризирани в европейското научно пространство, което ще допринесе за развитието на етнологията и антропологията в България.
