Student Conference
Student Conference of the Thematic DAAD Network "Zones of Cultural Contact and Conflict in Eastern Europe"
The Student Conference of the Thematic DAAD Network was held from April 14th until April 16th 2014.
The target group of the event were advanced master students of linguistics, literature, history, political, social and cultural studies at JLU Giessen and partner universities in Łódź, Cluj-Napoca, Minsk, Kazan and Almaty. The didactically and medially prepared presentations of MA students related to the focal area of the Thematic DAAD Network were moderated by the academic teachers associated to the network and subsequently discussed in the multidisciplinary environment.
A selection of qualitatively excellent presentations will be published in an anthology.
Working languages of the Students Conference were German and English. Venue was the Margarete-Bieber-Saal, Ludwigstraße 34 in Giessen.
The conference was entitled "Cultural contact and conflict zones in Eastern Europe".
Under contact and conflict regions are understood imperial and (national)linguistic boundary, transition and contact zones, as well as urban spaces, which are characterized by linguistic, ethnic, religious or other culturally pooled contact and conflict scenarios.
There are also those conflict and contact zones taken into account, which no longer have the once existing cultural pluralism today, where those in the memory and identity politics or the historical-literary reflection still plays an essential role.
The scale of contact and conflict zones is ranging from low-conflict coexistence (as between Russians and Tatars in Kazan or between Belarusians and Russians in Minsk) over politics of memory and identity of conflictual rivalries (as in the 1990s, in Cluj-Napoca) to the violent escalation of cultural conflict patterns (such as 1939 to 1945 in ?ód? and from 1991 to 1995 in Croatia). Underlying is a geographically broad definition of Eastern Europe, in addition to East Central, Southeast and Eastern Europe are the interaction zones with Turkic-speaking cultures in Post-Soviet States included.
