"How I celebrated the End of the World"
1989 in Central and Eastern European Cinemas
How do we look at the collapse of Communist regimes in Central and Eastern Europe today, 25 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall? By choosing 1989 as a starting point of reflection, this conference aims at questioning the way documentary and fiction films contribute to the understanding of both past and historical present and to provide a general overview on the relationship between cinema and post/communist society.

Intra-Group Tensions After the Fall of Communism: Causes, Consequences, and Contexts
Much has been written about the intricacies of acceptance and integration of immigrants who are racial, ethnic and/or confessional ‘others’ in relation to host populations. There are many examples of co-ethnics’ interaction which are overtly or latently accompanied by intra-group conflict, tension and misunderstanding, but academic coverage of co-ethnics’ encounters is far less ‘mature’ in terms of conceptualization, and literature devoted to these issues is far less abundant. The pattern of peoples' interaction being studied is usually a result of various kinds of population movement provoked by serious socio-political cataclysms in the 20th and 21st centuries, including the collapse of multi-national states and the intensification of labor migration resulting from post-socialist economic transformation. Our aim is to bring together international scholars who could present results of their latest research on these topics, preferably from a comparative and/or micro-level perspective.

African students in the USSR and other former Eastern Bloc countries (1960–1990)
From national histories to an international context
On the one hand, we need to reexamine the evolution of Soviet politics and USSR strategies for cooperation, especially with African countries, development aid in the broader geopolitical context in which academic and cultural exchange programs, and the circulation of students and elites took place.On the other hand, we have to link the mobilities of students and elites to the evolution of national politics pursued by African countries, especially as far as their academic, economic, and industrial policies are concerned.The goal is also to compare this dual historic contextualization of mobilities of the students of the African countries to the historical changes that took place in the relations that such countries had with former colonizing countries after winning their independence. Finally, all of this research will be analyzed in the light of the history of the knowledge and scientific fields involved and cultural representations of Africa developed in partner-country societies.

Images and Liturgy in Portugal in the Middle Age
The seminar Images and Liturgy in Portugal in the Middle Age, organized by the CEAACP Multidisciplinary Group Study in Arts (University of Coimbra), in partnership with the Association of Portuguese Archaeologists / Carmo Archaeological Museum, is part of the set of project initiatives of Carla Varela Fernandes’ Postdoc (Sculptures of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries in collections of Portuguese museums. An imperative approach to a broader knowledge of the scientific reality). It aims the presentation and discussion of recent studies and reflections on works of Romanic and Gothic art existing in Portugal. It is intended to address the medieval images as part of the liturgical rituals and the buildings they were designed for. On the other hand, we’ll try to provide advances in the knowledge on the means as an iconographic innovation or aesthetic generated at a given location "moves" and appears in other geographies, serving similar purposes.

Transnational representations of the flight and explusion of Germans after WWII
Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic
Depuis une quinzaine d’années, les événements de la fuite et de l’expulsion des Allemands des territoires de l’Est à la fin de la seconde guerre mondiale occupent l’espace public en Allemagne de façon massive. Le présent colloque souhaite élargir le périmètre de perception de la fuite et de l’expulsion aux pays d’Europe centrale concernés : la Pologne, la République tchèque et la Slovaquie. Si le colloque s’intéresse principalement à la représentation des événements historiques dans la littérature, les arts, les médias, les musées et les expositions, surtout après 1989, il est néanmoins nécessaire d’accorder une place à l’historiographie du temps présent des différents pays concernés, notamment en s’interrogeant sur les nouvelles approches historiographiques. Il proposera également une réflexion sur ces événements dans le sens de la construction d’une mémoire commune en Europe centrale.

Thematic issue of the Hungarian Historical Review 2014/4
The social interactions of individuals and groups belonging to different denominations was and is one of the everyday experiences of social manifestations of otherness. Ever since the Middle Ages, Central Europe has been home to various and varying religious and ethnic groups who have lived side by side. The region has been a meeting point for the Latin, Orthodox, Islamic, Christian, and Jewish worlds, and the Reformation made it even more religiously diverse. We encourage the submission of papers that examine the phenomena of religious and cultural diversity in the region from the perspectives of political history and the history of ideas, and we are particularly interested in submissions that address the social, economic, and cultural aspects of religiously and denominationally diverse coexistence.

Identities and territories
Au cours du XXe siècle, les pays et les empires autoritaires, à l’économie planifiée et se revendiquant de l’idéologie communiste ont-ils développé un rapport particulier aux ressources naturelles, aux aléas et aux catastrophes, à l’environnement en général ? Comment les États et les sociétés qui en sont les héritiers font-ils face aujourd’hui à une crise environnementale devenue multiforme et globale : conséquences des catastrophes (Kychtym, Tchernobyl, Aral...) ; inégalités environnementales ; pollutions industrielles ; risques naturels et technologiques ; changement climatique, etc. ? À l’approche historique développée ces dernières années, s’ajoutera la volonté d’aborder ces territoires dans une double perspective, celle d’espaces socialement construits par des acteurs et des stratégies et celle d’espaces structurants pour l’action publique.

Military Journalism in Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS)
Journal of Power Institutions in Post-Soviet Societies, Issue 16 - Spring 2014
In the sociology of media, the question of military journalism occupies a special place as one carrying significant political and institutional-specific implications. This is particularly obvious in the case of the USSR, where censorship, ideological challenges related to conflicts, and inaccessibility of the army have hindered attempts to gain knowledge of the production process regarding news and information surrounding the military. Since the fall of the USSR, Russian media space has experienced an opening and a liberalization applicable to military journalism. The old Soviet army newspapers have continued to exist (Krasnaia Zvezda, for example) while civil titles dedicated to military topics have appeared (for instance, the military supplement Nezavisimoe Voennoe Obozrenie of the daily newspaper Nezavisimaia Gazeta). At the same time, new independent media have gravitated toward military topics, fed by specialized civil correspondents. This issue of The Journal of Power Institutions in Post-Soviet Societies will be devoted to military journalism in the USSR, Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) from concurrent historical, sociological and political points of view. It will examine the faces of tension and compromise between freedom of the press and constraints suitable for military journalism.
