IFK Sommerakademie
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".

Balkan Studies: quo vadis?
Urban Space and Memory Skopje
An international workshop Reading the City: Urban Space and Memory will be held at the Cultural Centre Tocka in Skopje from May 10-16, 2009. The hypothesis of the workshop "Reading the city: Urban space and memory" in Skopje is that every historical, political, and social development and trend is mirrored in the city's built environment. Cities, accordingly, consist of a multitude of layers of narratives and thus become an image of individual and collective memory. Deadline for applications: April 26, 2009.

Das Programm für den bevorstehenden Workshop Emergenzen 7 // Open Access ist nun fertig und hier online zu finden. Der Workshop findet am 4. Oktober 2008 im Marietta-Blau-Saal der Universität Wien statt.
Bourdieu reloaded
An exciting topic but - at least from kakanian point of view - a bit too narrow: the Exeter Centre for Ethno-Political Studies has announced a workshop for February 2009: The "field of literature" in the context of ethno-national conflicts which will discuss the applicability of Bourdieu's theory in terms of conflicts within mono-state and mono-national frames.
Even if the topic sounds to be promising for Central, Eastern and Southern European problems, the organisers concentrate on cases such as the Basques in Spain and France, the Kurds in Turkey, Iran, Iraq, etc., the Samis in Finland,Norway and Sweden, or the Berbers in Morocco and Algeria.
Theatre Now
The international Festival-Fair "THEATRE METHODS 08 - Between Tradition and Contemporaneity" is held on July 7-13, 2008 in Malpils, Latvia.
The annual professional festival-fair is bringing up the question of the Bridge between Tradition and Contemporaneity in performing arts. The Festival is uniting performers from all over the world interested in the research of theatre methods between tradition and contemporaneity.

Historische Raumforschung / Südost
Das Augenmerk sei gelenkt auf (und ein entsprechender Kalendereintrag wäre vorzunehmen für) einen Workshop an der Universität Wien, den Mitchell Ash (Federführung; Institut für Geschichte), Carola Sachse (Institut für Zeitgeschichte; u.a. Boardmitglied von Kakanien revisited) und Josef Ehmer (Institut für Wirtschafts- und Sozialgeschichte) am 7. und 8. Dezember 2007 veranstalten: HISTORISCHE RAUMFORSCHUNG/SÜDOST.
Wissenspopularisierung im medialen Wandel seit 1850
Parallelaktionen sind nichts Besonderes mehr, wie noch in Robert Musils MoE, sondern konnten sich als notwendige Regel durchsetzen. Was wiederum eng mit dem Topic des oben geführten Workshops zu tun hat und mit der vielbeschworenen Informations(über)flut(ung).
Schweizer Kompromisse
