"Does East go West?" - International Conference in Fribourg, 16 - 18 September 2010
It has been two decades since Socialism in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union collapsed. The Institute of Social Anthropology of the University of Fribourg (Switzerland) is organising an International Conference focusing on social and cultural transformations within the former Socialist world.
The conference will seek to assess the relevance of Social Anthropology to the study of post-socialism by bringing together anthropologists from both the “inside” and the “outside” for a critical debate. Participants are invited to evaluate the achievements of post-communism anthropology, the relevance of area studies such as Eastern Europe studies, or Eurasian studies, and the future of conceptual tools and ideas that have been developed during these years in the context of what is called “post-communism”. Is post-communism anthropology an anthropology of Eastern Europe, and ultimately part of the anthropology of Europe?
Four sessions of the conference are based upon a dialogue between “Western” anthropologists and that of their “Eastern” counterparts. Another four meetings will offer opportunities to ask more specific questions through the presentation of ongoing research on political aspects of post-communism transformations of the public sphere, religious affiliations and identities, minorities such as the Roma people, and the state of the art of Eastern Europe Anthropology.
A final round table discussion should provide direction for future studies.
