Migration, Democracy, Serbia
The Institute for the Danube Region and Central Europe (IDM), the University of Vienna/
Research Platform Vienna Eastern Europe and the Institute for Social Sciences (Belgrade)
led an opinion poll in November 2010 and four focus groups in April 2011 as part of a joint research project on perceptions of democracy as well as on migration experiences in Serbia. Prior to the decision on Serbia's EU candidate status, the results of this analysis shall be presented and discussed in public, in a conference entitled Democracy in Unstable Social Spaces: Interrelations of Migration and Democracy in Serbia.
Serbian Heritage
The aim of this workshop is to critically address the concept of "heritage" in the case of Serbia and the Serbs. While customarily identified as a value, a given that is inherited (as the very term suggests) and handed down from one generation to the next, a body of literature emerged in the 1980s – authored by, inter alia, scholars like Pierre Nora, Eric Hobsbawm, David Lowenthal, or Svetlana Boym – which insists on the factor of agency by which objects, events, or thoughts from the past are made relevant to/in the present. Heritage, history, tradition, or identity, it is now claimed, are not "just there".
Culture and Security in Serbia
The Centre for Civil - Military Relations (Belgrade) is organizing an international conference on Culture and Security Sector Reform: Political, Strategic and Military Culture in Transitional Countries in Sremski Karlovci (Serbia), May 7-10, 2009. Deadline for submissions is March 15, 2009.
