Летняя школа "Вопросы постсоветских трансформаций"
Международная и междисциплинарная школа проходит в Днепропетровске, с 4 по 10 июля 2010 года. Дедлайн 15 апреля.
Направленность социогуманитарная. Тематика не совсем понятная, если честно. Насколько я понял, ключевые слова - постсоветские трансформации, города, евреи.
Взносов нет, оплачивают всё, кроме проезда. Впрочем, при желании проезд тоже оплатят. Надо знать английский.
Объявление пришло ко мне по почте, вдруг ещё кому интересно. Правда, оно на английском языке, поскольку он, как бы, основной рабочий язык на летней школе.

*With the support of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional State Administration
*
*are pleased to announce
the International and Interdisciplinary Summer School
"Approaches to Post-Soviet Transformations"*
*
*
*Program description:
*Two decades after the collapse of the USSR, evolutionary paths travelled by
post-Soviet societies are spectacularly diverse - posing analytical
challenges for social scientists. In the first post-Soviet years, these
societies were expected to “Westernize” and so social transformations were
supposedly transitional. Later, it became obvious that genuine evolution
observed in the former USSR needed genuine analytical tools. Dramatic change
exhibiting a strange (at times conflict-ridden) coexistence of
transformation and continuity neither elicits comparison to “normal” social
evolution, nor can it be explained as a chaotic or un-analysable
specificity. The aim of the summer school is to discuss different approaches
/ concepts used to analyse post-Soviet transformations and to question their
heuristic effectiveness.
The venue of the Summer School is of special interest given the topic of
study. The First Summer School in 2009, was dedicated to collective memory
issues, and took place in Uman which is a place of a complex historical
background and competing memories. In the same logic, the Second Summer
School on post-socialist societies (with one of its themes being post-Soviet
cities) will take place in a city that illustrates the evolutionary dynamics
of post-socialist societies particularly well. A product of Imperial and
Soviet industrialization, a ‘closed’ city until the 1990’s due to its role
as a centre of the USSR’s nuclear missile and rocket industries, one of the
largest cities in Ukraine (1,1 million people), in post-Soviet times
Dnipropetrovsk has become one of the financial, political and industrial
centres of Ukraine. Despite the fact that the cultural and religious
diversity of the city was erased in Soviet times, in our days Dnipropetrovsk
has become one of the centres of Jewish life in Eastern Europe. It is the
place where the political careers of Leonid Brezhnev, Leonid Kuchma and
Yulia Tymoshenko began.
The Summer School is designed to be interdisciplinary and international. The
organizers welcome sociological, historical, political science and
anthropological contributions. Participants are expected to present their
own work, and to participate in group discussions. The School’s program
consists of lectures, panel discussions, and field trips within
Dnipropetrovsk and to its surroundings, followed by discussion sessions.
