Purdue UP announces the following new volume, edited by Louise O. Vasvári and Steven Totosy de Zepetnek:

Die diesjährige Internationale Konferenz der Kommission für Kulturwissenschaften und Theatergeschichte der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften (KKT) vom 3. bis 5. November 2005 hat das Thema Translokales/ transnationales Gedächtnis?: Ist Gedächtnis nicht prinzipiell als mehrdeutig und vielstimmig, transnational und translokal? Ist die nationale Rahmung des Gedächtnisses eine retrospektive Imagination?

East Ethnia has published a very important list of institutes, NGO's and projects in the Balkans:

The list does include research institutes (but not universities or academic departments) and does include advocacy groups for peace, human rights and equality (but not political parties). It is partial, and it inclines to the SCG side because that is the part I know best.

Information about research organisations, advocacy groups, media and journalism centers, information clearinghouses, and other resources in the area are vital, so, please, have a look and browse the list.
