The conference explores the institutions, ideologies, and practices that
have shaped identity in the countries that once formed part of the Soviet
Union and in the states and cultures that border the former superstate. It
traces the history of 'Eurasia' as a concept, and analyses the role of
political interest groups, religious beliefs, museums, education, and
everyday experience (whether under direct state control or governed by what
are believed to be autonomous 'traditions' in evolving concepts of ethnic,
national, and transnational culture). Gathering together anthropologists,
historians, political scientists, sociologists, and specialists in cultural
studies from the Caucasus and Central Asia, Belorussia, France, Germany, and
Russia as well as the UK and the USA, it presents a uniquely wide-ranging,
cross-disciplinary forum for informed discussion of issues that are of
enormous topical significance.
We are pleased to announce that the conference registration is now open.
Please note that the number of places is limited. We anticipate a high
demand and you are advised to register as early as possible. Conference
participants will be registered strictly on a first-come-first-served basis,
without exceptions.
