[ecrea] Aleksanteri Conference 2015: Culture and Russian Society - CfP

Aleksanteri Institute, University of Helsinki and Finnish Centre of
Excellence in Russian Studies - Choices of Russian Modernisation wish to
remind you of the CfP for

*The 15th Annual Aleksanteri Conference
*
*"Culture and Russian Society"*
October 21-23, 2015 at the University of Helsinki

With Vladimir Putin’s third re-election in 2012, the Russian creative
class gathered political momentum, and cultural and intellectual
practices in Russia regained social and political relevance. At the same
time, culture and its traditional institutions have become increasingly
integrated into state policies to reconstruct a uniform national Russian
identity. The annexation of Crimea, the crisis in Ukraine, and the
changing geopolitical landscape have highlighted those Russian views
that draw on an understanding of Russia as a unique civilization
separate from the West.

The 15th Annual Aleksanteri Conference invites scholars from all fields
in humanities, social and political sciences to submit proposals for
panels and papers which focus on the cultural challenges
and intellectual choices Russia and its diverse population face
today. We encourage panel proposals with three presentations,
discussant, and chair, but will also review individual paper proposals.

The conference language is English. Individual paper proposals should be
in English, but we also welcome bilingual panel proposals (English and
Russian).

The deadline for proposals is *May 17, 2015*. Proposals submitted after
the deadline will not be reviewed. Detailed instructions and links to
electronic submission forms are available at
www.helsinki.fi/aleksanteri/conference2015

Programme outline for the conference is now published at

include Catriona Kelly, Vlad Strukov, Vera Tolz, Elena Vartanova,
Michael Gorham and Evert van der Zweerde.
