SUMMARY:Journalist Talks: Energiepolitik auf dem Balkan
DESCRIPTION:Die US-Administration unter Donald Trump setzt zur Zeit eine Strategie der Energiedominanz auf dem Balkan um. Dabei geht es einerseits darum\, den russichen Einfluss- bei Gaslieferungen\, Energie-Infrastruktur\, Raffinerien-zurückzudrängen und andererseits amerikanisches Flüssiggas zu verkaufen und US-Firmen Verträge zu verschaffen. Diese Strategie widerspricht teils den europäischen Interessen und EU-Projekten auf dem Balkan. Ende April unterzeichneten etwa Bosnien und Herzegowina und Kroatien ein Abkommen über eine südliche Gasverbindung. An der Zeremonie in Dubrovnik nahm auch US-Energieminister Chris Wright teil. Das US-amerikanische Unternehmen AAFS Infrastructure and Energy wird die Gaspipeline betreiben.Einer der Chefs des Unternehmens ist Joseph Flynn\, der Bruder des ehemaligen Sicherheitsberaters von Trump\, Michael Flynn. Der andere ist Jesse Binnall\, er vertrat Trump als Rechtsanwalt. Der Landesteil Föderation von Bosnien und Herzegowina verabschiedete ein Sondergesetz. Die EU erhob Einspruch. Denn die Vergabe wurde ohne Ausschreibung beschlossen. Die Gaspipeline ist nur eines von vielen US-Vorhaben auf dem Balkan. Ende Februar vereinbarten zwölf Länder Mittel-und Osteuropas mit den USA eine Partnerschaft zur LNG-Lieferung. \n\n\nAdelheid Wölfl\, Jahrgang 1972 hat einen Master in vergleichenden Sozialwissenschaften und ihre Ausbildung zur Journalistin bei dem Wochenmagazin profil und an der Universität Wien gemacht. Ab 2004 arbeitete sie zunächst als Redakteurin im Ressort Außenpolitik in Wien\, wo sie sich für den Raum Südosteuropa spezialisierte. Sie ist seit 2012 Korrespondentin für den Standard und für viele andere Zeitungen und lebt in Sarajevo\, von wo sie aus die gesamte Region bereist. \n\nJournalist Talks Series is a part of the seeFField project of the University Regensburg in cooperation with the Volkshochschule Regensburg.

SUMMARY:SNAKLAB Regensburg Southeastern Europe Research Seminars
DESCRIPTION:Dr Dragana Prvulović (University of Ottawa\, seeFField visiting fellow) will give a talk on… \n“The Women of Krajina: Gender\, Political Agency\, and Everyday Survival in Wartime Croatia” \nTime: 4-6 pm \nVenue: IOS\, R 017\, Landshuter Straße 4\, 93047 Regensburg \nAbstract: \nThis lecture presents an ongoing postdoctoral research project on women’s everyday lives in the Republic of Serbian Krajina\, a wartime statelet that existed during the 1991–1995 conflict in Croatia and remains marginal in both scholarship and public discourse. The lecture outlines the central questions guiding the project: how was everyday life organized under conditions of violence\, economic hardship\, and uncertainty\, and in what ways did women—across Serb\, Croat\, and other minority communities—exercise political agency through practices of care\, survival\, and social negotiation? \nThe project seeks to move beyond dominant military and nationalist narratives by centering on multiethnic interactions and social relations between women in a highly militarized and ethnically stratified environment. The lecture situates the project within feminist scholarship on war and peace and conflict studies\, and considers how it may broaden understandings of everyday life and gendered political agency in secessionist and wartime settings. \nSnacken with Balkans Snacks

SUMMARY:SNAKLAB Regensburg Southeastern Europe Research Seminars
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Tanja Petrović (ZRC SAZU\, IOS visiting fellow) will give a talk on… \nMining\, Violence\, and Moral Economy of Care and Debt: Mining Accidents in Former Yugoslavia in the Long 20th Century \nTime: 2-4 pm \nVenue: IOS\, R 109\, Landshuter Straße 4\, 93047 Regensburg \nAbstract: \nThe lecture reconsiders the relationship between mining and violence and discusses violence as historically constitutive of mining as a profession\, and generative of mining communities’ social life. Violence is inscribed in the very nature of mining labor\, and the history of mining is defined by accidents\, disasters\, and exposure of bodies and environments to health risks and deterioration. \nBased on the analysis of archival and media texts on mining accidents and disasters in Slovenia and other parts of former Yugoslavia during the long 20th century\, the lecture argues that the violence that encompasses mining should be understood as part of the social contract between miners and mining communities\, on the one hand\, and broader society and the state\, on the other\, and discusses ambiguous moral economy that governs their relationship. \nSnacken with Balkans Snacks

SUMMARY:SNAKLAB Regensburg Southeastern Europe Research Seminars
DESCRIPTION:Vassilis Petsinis (Institute of Global Studies\, Corvinus University of Budapest\, Budapest\, Hungary)  will give a talk on… \n“Echoes of the War in Ukraine: Political Ramifications in the Baltics and the Balkans“ \nTime: 5-7 pm \nVenue: IOS\, R 017\, Landshuter Straße 4\, 93047 Regensburg \nAbstract: \nIn a cross-regional approach\, Vassilis Petsinis generates new insights about how developments of groundbreaking significance in regional and global politics (here\, Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine since 24 February 2022) can exert powerful ramifications on the domestic politics of other states and societies. Inside the geopolitical context of Central and Eastern Europe\, this monograph examines this ‘external impact’ on selected empirical cases from Northeastern (Estonia and Latvia in the Baltic States) and Southeastern Europe (Croatia and Serbia) through the spectrum of idiosyncratic and fluctuating intersections among ethno-nationalist\, nativist\, Eurosceptic\, and ‘other’ trends (e.g. Occidentalism inside the political and sociocultural context of Serbia) at the level of domestic politics. \nThis is a highly relevant contribution inside an increasingly unpredictable international system where the responses of major actors (Russia\, China\, and the US) to armed conflicts\, or other global crises\, can vary from peculiar alignments all the way to alarming friction. \nSnacken with Balkans Snacks

SUMMARY:Journalist Talks: Investigativer Dokumentarjournalismus auf dem Westbalkan
DESCRIPTION:Investigativer Dokumentarjournalismus ist auf dem Westbalkan entscheidend für die Aufdeckung von Machtmissbrauch\, Korruption\, sozialer Ungleichheit und den langfristigen Folgen von Krieg und politischer Instabilität. In diesem Journalist Talk spricht die preisgekrönte Journalistin und Dokumentarfilmerin Vjosa Cerkini über ihre langjährige Arbeit in der Region und die Herausforderungen\, unter politischem Druck\, eingeschränkter Pressefreiheit und gesellschaftlichen Spannungen zu recherchieren. \nAnhand konkreter Beispiele aus ihren Dokumentarfilmen und Reportagen für internationale Medien zeigt sie die Unterschiede zwischen journalistischer Arbeit auf dem Westbalkan und in Zentraleuropa – etwa im Umgang von Polizei\, Justiz und Behörden mit Korruption\, Nepotismus und familiären Netzwerken. \nDer Talk beleuchtet journalistische Methoden\, ethische Fragestellungen und Sicherheitsrisiken vor Ort\, betont die Verantwortung\, marginalisierten Stimmen Gehör zu verschaffen. \nKurzbiographie  \nVjosa Cerkini ist eine preisgekrönte internationale investigative Journalistin\, Reporterin und Dokumentarfilmerin aus Pristina\, Kosovo.

SUMMARY:SNAKLAB Regensburg Southeastern Europe Research Seminars
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Dr Josip Glaurdić (Université du Luxembourg) will give a talk on… \n“Contagions – Nationalism\, Populism\, and the Pandemic at Europe’s Edge“ \nTime: 4-6 pm \nVenue: IOS\, R 017\, Landshuter Straße 4\, 93047 Regensburg \nAbstract: What happens when a public health crisis collides with fragile democracies and deeply polarized societies? Why did some Southeast European states initially outperform expectations in managing COVID-19\, only to later suffer some of the world’s highest mortalityrates? And what can this region – often dismissed as peripheral – reveal about the resilience and fragility of democracies everywhere? \nThis talk presents Contagions: Nationalism\, Populism\, and the Pandemic at Europe’s Edge\, a forthcoming book that explores how ideology shaped the trajectory and memory of the pandemic in Southeast Europe. Based on original surveys\, cross-national comparisons\,and a wealth of empirical evidence\, the book argues that the pandemic was not only a health emergency but also an ideological stress test – one that exposed the ways nationalism and populism structure public trust\, compliance\, and collective memory. \nJoin us for a discussion of the book’s core questions: How did nationalism and populism interact with crisis governance? What does Southeast Europe teach us about the vulnerabilities of liberal democracy under strain? And how might the pandemic’s legacies continueto shape political life long after the virus has receded? \nSnacken with Balkans Snacks

SUMMARY:SNAKLAB Regensburg Southeastern Europe Research Seminars
DESCRIPTION:Olivier Winistörfer (Universität Zürich) will give a talk on… \n“The Balkans and the Sprachbund. The impact of language contact on the languages of the Balkans” \nTime: 4-6 pm \nVenue: IOS\, R 017\, Landshuter Straße 4\, 93047 Regensburg \nAbstract:  \nThe languages of the Balkans have fascinated linguists for almost two centuries. Researchers have documented striking structural parallels that make the Balkans a textbook example of a sprachbund\, since Jernej Kopitar’s (1829) comparative work on Albanian\, Balkan Romance\, and Balkan Slavic. \nIn this talk\, I bring together quantitative data (from linguistic typology and genetics) and qualitative evidence (from dialectology) to explore how areality\, and thus\, language contact\, has shaped these systems. I’ll show not only where Balkan languages have converged structurally\, but also why the absence of certain linguistic features can be just as revealing as their presence. This perspective sheds light on how linguistic systems influence each other over time and how we can detect those connections in the present. \nSnacken with Balkans Snacks

SUMMARY:Podiumsdiskussion: 30 Jahre danach - Die tiefen Spuren der Jugoslawienkriege
DESCRIPTION:Nach über drei Jahren Krieg im zerfallenden Jugoslawien leitete das Jahr 1995 die Wende ein. Im Mai 1995 tötete die bosnisch-serbische Armee in der UN-Schutzzone Tuzla in Bosnien und Herzegowina 71 Menschen durch Granatbeschuss. Im Juli 1995 exekutierten die bosnisch-serbische Armee und von der Polizei Serbiens bezahlte paramilitärische Kräfte im Genozid von Srebrenica mehr als 8.000 Bosniaken. Im August 1995 eroberte die kroatische Armee in einer Serie militärischer Operationen die serbischen Aufstandsgebiete zurück. Rund 200.000 Serben flohen bzw. wurden aus Kroatien vertrieben. Den Schlusspunkt setzte der im November 1995 erzielte Friedensvertrag von Dayton. \nDreißig Jahre sind seitdem vergangen. In dieser Zeit haben Kroatien\, Bosnien-Herzegowina und Serbien jeweils unterschiedliche Wege eingeschlagen. Kroatien wurde 2009 NATO- und 2013 EU-Mitglied. Doch die Jugoslawienkriege bleiben eine schwere Bürde\, nicht nur im Politischen\, sondern auch im alltäglichen Miteinander. Neue Generationen wachsen heran\, deren Gegenwart noch immer von den Ereignissen von vor dreißig Jahren geprägt ist. Nationalismus\, Autoritarismus und Populismus haben erneut Aufwind. Wie tief sind daher nach dreißig Jahren die Spuren der Jugoslawienkriege? Und kann von einem anhaltenden Nachhall gesprochen werden\, der transformativ und richtungsweisend wirken kann? Diesen Fragen stellen sich Expert:innen aus Wissenschaft\, Medien und Kunst auf der Podiumsdiskussion. \nDiskussion und Austausch mit: \nDr. Alida Bremer\, freie Autorin und Übersetzerin\, Münster \nProf. Dr. Klaus Buchenau\, Historiker\, Universität Regensburg \nDr. Nicolas Moll\, freiberuflicher Berater transnationaler und -europäischer Projekte\, Sarajevo \nJun.-Prof. Dr. Željana Tunić\, Kulturwissenschaftlerin\, Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg \n  \nModeration: \nProf. Dr. Ger Duijzings\, Universität Regensburg \n  \nEine Kooperationsveranstaltung von: IOS\, seeFField\, Südosteuropa-Gesellschaft e.V.

SUMMARY:SNAKLAB Regensburg Southeastern Europe Research Seminars
DESCRIPTION:Emina Zoletić (University of Warsaw\, Faculty of Sociology\, Centre for research on social memories) will give a talk on… \n“The Social Life of War Memories: Generalization\, Moral obligations\, Silences and intergenerational narratives in Bosnian families” \nTime: 4-6 pm \nVenue: IOS\, R 017\, Landshuter Straße 4\, 93047 Regensburg \nAbstract: Intergenerational transmission of war memories is not merely a matter of recounting the past; it is a complex social process that unfolds through narratives\, silences\, embodied practices\, artifacts\, and spatial encounters. In Bosnian families affected by the 1992–1995 war\, the past is continually negotiated through everyday life\, ritual\, and relational dynamics that elevate certain experiences while suppressing or reframing others. This talk argues that generalization\, moral obligation\, and silence are complementary mechanisms through which families transform individual and collective wartime experiences into transgenerational narratives of identity\, belonging\, and moral orientation. \nThe central part of this talk examines intergenerational war memories and wartime migration in Bosnian and diasporic families across several locations in the European Union\, the United States\, and Sarajevo. Attending to both local and transnational dimensions\, this talk shows how intergenerational transmission of memory is processed\, experienced\, and activated by participants during several highly charged political conjunctures. \n  \n  \nSnacken with Balkans Snacks

SUMMARY:Public History and Memory Culture Colloquium: Talk by Bleona Kurthesi (seeFField Pre-Doc Fellow)
DESCRIPTION:Invitation to the first session of the Colloquium on Public History and Memory Culture where our Pre-Doc Fellow-Bleona Kurteshi-presents her research. \n“Memory and Future-Making through Externally Funded Projects in Kosova in the Aftermath of the 1998–1999“  \nThis presentation introduces her PhD project that explores how externally funded memory initiatives in post-war Kosova shape understandings of the past and visions of the future\, including narratives around peacebuilding and European integration. The talk will also reflect on the process of developing the PhD project\, highlighting the choice of topic from both personal and political perspectives. It discusses the formulation of research questions and the challenges involved in studying memory work in a context closely connected to the researcher. The presentation offers insights into whether memory initiatives funded by international donors and implemented by NGOs operate within complex local and transnational networks. \nBleona Kurteshi (M.A.) studied Sociology at the University of Prishtina and is currently a pre-doctoral fellow in the seeFField project at the University of Regensburg.

SUMMARY:SNAKLAB Regensburg Southeastern Europe Research Seminars
DESCRIPTION:Dr Adriana Zaharijević (University of Belgrade) will give a talk on… \n“Anti-Gender: Backlash or Strategy? Lessons from the Post-Yugoslav Space“ \nTime: 6-8 pm \nVenue: IOS\, R 017\, Landshuter Straße 4\, 93047 Regensburg \nAbstract: In the first part of the talk\, Dr Adriana Zaharijević will share findings from the edited volume Hidden Connection: Anti-Gender Mobilizations in the Post-Yugoslav Space (co-edited with Roman Kuhar). This ‘space’\, not so long ago sharing a common political\, economic and legal structure\, proves to be particularly interesting for the research of anti-gender mobilizations. Seen as a miniature showroom\, post-Yugoslav space shows how anti-gender germinates and branches out\, and provides persuasive reasons why we should talk about mobilizations\, not movements or campaigns. In the second part of the talk\, focusing more on Serbia\, the speaker will claim that we need to understand anti-gender mobilizations \, one that effectively curbs equality as such. \nSnacken with Balkans Snacks

SUMMARY:SNAKLAB Regensburg Southeastern Europe Research Seminars
DESCRIPTION:Kristóf Nagy (Central European University & seeFField visiting fellow) will give a talk on… \n“Far-Right Cultural Politics in a Changing Global Order: The Case of Hungary” \nTime: 4-6 pm \nVenue: IOS\, R 017\, Landshuter Straße 4\, 93047 Regensburg \nAbstract: This talk explores contemporary culture wars in Eastern and Southeastern Europe amid the global rise of far-right hegemonies. Focusing on cultural infrastructure—the mental and material foundations of cultural production—it examines how state-backed cultural institutions are mobilized in ideological conflicts. While much of the discourse emphasizes media and rhetoric\, this talk reorients attention to the institutional and material dimensions of culture wars. At the center of the discussion is the Hungarian Academy of Arts—an emblematic institution of Hungary’s national capitalist regime—where the speaker conducted historical and ethnographic research. By integrating global political economy\, sociology\, anthropology\, and cultural studies\, I argue for a comparative and global framework to understand contemporary culture wars. \nThe talk outlines a research agenda that includes not only Eastern and Southeastern Europe (e.g.\, Poland\, Serbia\, Slovakia)\, but also countries like Turkey\, India\, and Russia\, where regimes have restructured cultural institutions to support national capitalist agendas and co-opt intellectuals and artists. The talk proposes that national culture wars are shaped by global shifts—especially the decline of the US-led transatlantic order and the rise of state-centered capitalisms. Viewed through this lens\, culture wars in the arts appear as responses to deglobalization and new forms of imperialism. \n  \nSnacken with Balkans Snacks

SUMMARY:SNAKLAB Regensburg Southeastern Europe Research Seminars
DESCRIPTION:Dr Bojan Baća (University of Montenegro & SeeFField visiting fellow) will give a talk on… \n“I’m Not a Conspiracy Theorist\, I’m a Conspiracy Analyst”: The Aporias of Conspiracist Ideology in Southeast Europe \nTime: 4-6 pm \nVenue: SG 214 (Campus\, Univ. Regensburg) \nAbstract:  \nOften positioned as a mere object of international relations rather than its subject\, the post-Yugoslav region has a long-standing tradition of conspiracism as an ideological lens for interpreting (geo)political reality. During the COVID-19 pandemic – and facilitated by the platformization and gamification of conspiracy theorizing – this tradition evolved from conspiracist estrangement to conspiracist engagement. Many have now fully embraced the once-derogatory label of “conspiracy theorists”\, even identifying themselves as “conspiracy analysts”. Their aim is not only to make sense of the inner workings of social reality by developing elaborate conspiracy theories\, but also to propose alternative political frameworks and advocate for change – often based on rudimentary “conspiracy analyses” – without sense of shame in doing so. \nThis seminar examines the similarities and differences among prominent conspiracist communities on Telegram in Serbia\, Croatia\, and Bosnia and Herzegovina\, covering the period from 23 February 2022 (the day before the Russian invasion of Ukraine) to 21 January 2025 (the day after Donald Trump’s inauguration). Focusing on how tensions\, contradictions\, and impasses that destabilize conspiracy theories are resolved through ideological interventions\, this seminar explores how these same mechanisms articulate legitimate grievances and forms of social critique\, generating common threads that contribute to a shared conspiracist ideology in Southeast Europe. \nBojan Baća is a political and cultural sociologist from Montenegro. He holds a PhD in Sociology from York University and is currently a research fellow at the Institute for Advanced Studies\, University of Montenegro. Previously\, he was a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow at the Department of Sociology and Work Science\, University of Gothenburg\, and a Re:constitution Fellow at the Max Weber Institute of Sociology\, Heidelberg University. In recognition of his contributions to the study of civil society\, social movements\, and contentious politics in postsocialist Central and Eastern Europe\, he received the 2022 Routledge Area Studies Interdisciplinarity Award. \nHis research has appeared in leading scholarly journals\, including Sociology\, Antipode\, International Political Sociology\, Theory\, Culture & Society\, Political Geography\, Acta Sociologica\, and Europe-Asia Studies\, among others. As a SeeFField Visiting Fellow\, Bojan will examine the (re)production of conspiracist ideology within online communities in the countries of the former Yugoslavia. \n  \nSnacken with Balkans Snacks

SUMMARY:Journalist Talks: Neo-fascism in Romanian politics and the role of social media
DESCRIPTION:Călin Georgescu’s success in the first round of the presidential elections in Romania in 2024 took many by surprise. A candidate with little notoriety in mainstream media\, not included in the political surveys\, with (neo)fascist affinities and an anti-science\, conspiracist worldview\, often reiterating Kremlin’s narratives\, managed to win the votes of over two million Romanians. However\, Călin Georgescu was not a new entry on the political scene\, and his radical far-right views are the expression of a larger phenomenon: the resurgence of fascist thinking\, that started as soon as the ‘90s and had its roots even deeper\, in national-communism. This talk will provide an overview of the post-’89 build-up of a neo-fascist mindset and infrastructure that set the stage for its breakthrough into mainstream politics in the 2020 elections\, when the populist right-wing party with neo-fascist overtones AUR gained seats in parliament. This moment marked the mainstreamization of far-right discourse\, which was weaponized by Călin Georgescu in his 2024 electoral success. Social media such as Facebook and TikTok also played a role in boosting far right and neo-fascist parties and candidates\, showing how the democratizing potential of such platforms can be weaponized to subvert democracy. \nAdina Marincea is a journalist and researcher at the “Elie Wiesel” National Institute for the Study of the Holocaust in Romania. \nJournalist Talks Series is a part of the seeFField project of the University Regensburg in cooperation with the Volkshochschule Regensburg. \n

SUMMARY:SNAKLAB Regensburg Southeastern Europe Research Seminars
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Cristiana Luchetti (Universität Zürich) wird zum folgenden Thema einen Vortrag halten: \nSpracherhalt\, Ideologien und Prestige bei den Herkunftssprachen Albanisch und BKMS in der Schweiz und den USA. Eine vergleichende Studie \nZeit: 16-18 Uhr \nOrt: IOS\, R017 \nAbstract: In meinem Habilitationsprojekt setze ich mich mit den zwei wichtigsten Sprachen der Diaspora aus dem ehemaligen jugoslawischen Raum auseinander: BKMS (Bosnisch-Kroatisch-Montenegrinisch-Serbisch) und Albanisch. Mein geographischer Fokus liegt auf der Schweiz und den USA\, zwei der bedeutsamsten Zielländer für Migration aus dem ehemaligen Jugoslawien. Angesichts der demographischen Relevanz dieser Migrationsphänomene in den beiden Ländern ist die soziolinguistische Forschungslage bis auf einige Ausnahmen auffällig lückenhaft. Es ist besonders lohnend\, eine Vergleichsstudie zwischen der Schweiz und den USA durchzuführen\, da die extrem unterschiedlichen Flächenverhältnisse einen grossen Einfluss auf Zusammenhalt und Zugehörigkeitsgefühl in den Diasporagemeinschaften haben. Dies kann wiederum Folgen für den Erhalt von Herkunftssprachen haben\, die zu untersuchen ich mir vornehme. \nDas Projekt ist vor allem an metalinguistischem Wissen interessiert. Anhand einer Umfrage\, soziolinguistischer Interviews und einer cognitive map task gehe ich den folgenden soziolinguistischen Fragestellungen nach: \n\nWie erhalten Sprecher des Albanischen und des BKMS in verschiedenen Generationen in der Schweiz und in den USA ihre Sprachen?\nWelche Ideologien sind aus den Statements der Sprecher gegenüber ihren Herkunftssprachen sowie den Sprachen\, die in ihrer Umgebung gesprochen werden\, erkennbar?\nLassen sich aus diesen Ideologien Prestigehierarchien lesen?\n\nDiese drei fallspezifischen Fragen tragen dazu bei\, die folgende übergreifende Frage zu beantworten: Wie konstruieren Menschen\, die Migration erfahren\, eine Beziehung zu den für sie relevanten Räumen anhand von Sprache?  \n  \nSnacken with Balkans Snacks

SUMMARY:Journalist Talks: BALKANGAMBIT – Der Einfluss der Großmächte auf dem Balkan
DESCRIPTION:Der Balkan ist ins Fadenkreuz von Weltmächten wie Russland\, China und der Türkei geraten\, die dort ihren Einfluss ausbauen. Während die EU ihr Beitrittsversprechen an die Region kaum einlöst\, wächst die Konkurrenz durch Propaganda\, Investitionen und Kulturpolitik. Für den 5-teiligen Podcast „Balkangambit“ reiste der Journalist Dirk Auer durch den Balkan\, sprach mit Historikern\, Aktivisten und Politikberatern und untersuchte die Auswirkungen ausländischer Einflussnahme. Seine Recherche führte ihn von Belgrad bis zur Europäischen Kommission in Brüssel. Im Vortrag wird Dirk Auer den Podcast vorstellen und anhand einzelner Beispiele die Teilnehmer mitnehmen auf seine Reise durch die Region. \nDr. Dirk Auer\, Sozialwissenschaftler\, berichtet als freier Autor und Journalist für Hörfunk\, Zeitungen und Magazine aus und über Südosteuropa. Von 2005 bis 2012 hat er in Sofia gelebt\, danach drei Jahre in Belgrad.

SUMMARY:SNAKLAB Regensburg Southeastern Europe Research Seminars
DESCRIPTION:Dr Valentin Kalinov (University of Plovdiv) will give a talk on… \n“Freud in the Shadows? On the (im)possibility of psychotherapy under communist rule“ \nTime: 2-4 pm \nVenue: IOS\, R017 \nvia Zoom: https://uni-regensburg.zoom-x.de/j/66040879796 \nAbstract: \nIs there a place for psychoanalysis and psychotherapy in the totalitarian discourse on mental health? The negative answer to this question might seem self-evident. However\, as in other humanities fields of socialist knowledge – such as academic philosophy\, history\, literature\, and the arts – a critical look can delineate places of disobedience\, deviations from the officially sanctioned perspectives\, and even deliberate subversions of the imposed ideological discourse. \n  \nThese are places – in thought\, writing and public speaking – that function as symptoms. In these shadowy places\, under the watchful eye of the Party’s guardians\, a singular social fact and an existential meaning are produced\, marked simultaneously by the forces of repression and resistance to repression. \n  \nThis lecture seeks to explore three avenues of inquiry: 1) Mapping Symptomatic Places and their immanent practices of knowledge production; 2) “Life in Truth” as a practice in the field of psychotherapy and psychoanalysis; 3) The Disruptive Potential of Psychoanalysis. \n  \nThe first objective is to outline the typology of these places-symptoms that constitute the (im)possibility of psychotherapy during Bulgaria’s totalitarian regime in the second half of the twentieth century. This examination will take a broad perspective\, analyzing ideological recognition and misrecognition of Marx and Freud\, state Marxism-Leninism and psychoanalysis\, discourse and counter-discourse. To this end\, I will investigate the forms of domestication and “Sovietization” of psychoanalytic conceptual and technical apparatus. \n  \nThe second aim is to shed light on some particular modalities of “life-in-truth” and “life-in-lie” practiced within these symptomatic places\, which\, for various reasons\, have so far remained on the margins of memory and history. \n  \nThirdly\, the lecture will highlight the critical and destructive power of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy in the context of the ideological construction of a ‘socialist way of life’ and a ‘communist intimacy’ during the period of so-called mature socialism. \n  \nThese three lines of thought would contribute to a fuller understanding of the stakes of the past under conditions of totalitarian repression\, as well as the anxieties of the future. Both\, however\, remain linked to the “hope of truth” – the only force that can give life the power to survive. \nThe methodology of this lecture integrates archival research with critical engagement in philosophical and psychoanalytic literature. By examining overlooked or marginalized sources\, the talk seeks to uncover the untold story of psychoanalysis under totalitarian rule in Bulgaria\, bringing it into dialogue with broader intellectual frameworks\, including Marxist ideology\, psychoanalytic theory\, and philosophy. This interdisciplinary approach not only reconstructs a neglected historical narrative but also situates it within larger debates on the tensions between repression and resistance\, ideology and counter-discourse. The academic aim is twofold: to illuminate the specific historical dynamics of psychoanalysis within this context and to contribute to broader scholarly discussions on the intersections of psychoanalysis\, philosophy\, and political ideology.

DESCRIPTION:Prof. Asoc. Dr. Blertë Ismajli (Philologische Fakultät der Universität Prishtina) will give a talk on… \n“Die deutsche Sprache in Kosovo – aktuelle Entwicklungen “ \nTime: 4-6 pm \nVenue: IOS\, R017 \nAbstract: Die seit den 1960er Jahren intensivierten Migrationsbeziehungen zwischen dem Kosovo und dem deutschsprachigen Raum beeinflussen kontinuierlich die gesellschaftlichen Entwicklungen im Land. Aufgrund der aktuellen intensiven Arbeitsmigration ist Deutsch neben Englisch eine der am häufigsten erlernten Fremdsprachen im Kosovo. Spuren dieser Beziehungen lassen sich auch in der Sprache beobachten\, obschon der deutsch- und der albanischsprachige Raum keine direkt benachbarten Sprachregionen darstellen. Der Transfer deutscher Lexeme ins Albanische erfolgte auf verschiedenen Wegen. Einerseits über eine slawische Vermittlersprache\, andererseits durch Gastarbeiter\, die neben dem Transfer von technischen Gütern und Know-how auch einen Sprachtransfer ermöglichten. Zudem trugen Rückkehrer aus dem Kosovo nach 2000 zu einer Intensivierung des deutsch-albanischen Sprachkontakts bei. Gegenwärtig ist die Präsenz der deutschen Sprache im öffentlichen Raum\, insbesondere in Kosovo und Nordmazedonien\, bemerkenswert. Der sprachliche Austausch manifestiert sich zudem in der Rapmusik\, in der eine Zunahme bilingualer deutsch-albanischer Songlyrics zu beobachten ist\, aber auch die Essenskultur\, in verschiedenen Unternehmen oder in Form von Graffiti. Dieser Beitrag gibt einen Überblick über die Stellung des Deutschen im Kosovo heute. \nSnacken with Balkans Snacks

SUMMARY:Journalist Talks: Der Balkan - Region der ungenützten Chancen
DESCRIPTION:Kurz vor Jahresende 2024 kamen beunruhigende Nachrichten aus Rumänien. Nach der ersten Runde der Präsidentenwahl lag völlig überraschend ein russlandfreundlicher und europakritischer Kandidat an erster Stelle. Im Kontext der aktuellen geopolitischen Auseinandersetzung war das eine Nachricht\, die den Westen und die EU alarmierte. Ein wichtiges EU und noch wichtigeres NATO Land könnte vielleicht bald ins Lager Putins abdriften. Rumänien ist leider kein Einzelfall und die Ursache für solche überraschenden Wendungen sind in vielen Ländern ein tiefgreifender Ärger gegenüber korrupten Eliten\, aber auch eine Enttäuschung gegenüber der Europäischen Union. Für die Länder des Balkan hat das zur Folge\, dass Chancen und Potentiale nicht genutzt werden. Das gilt für die EU-Staaten Ungarn\, Rumänien\, Bulgarien und Kroatien genauso\, wie für die EU-Anwärter der Westbalkanstaaten. Die gegenwärtige geopolitische Krise gibt außerdem autokratischen Politikern ein Erpressungspotential an die Hand\, weil der Balkan plötzlich wieder zum Pulverfass werden könnte und womöglich Schauplatz eines bewaffneten Konflikts werden könnte. \nNikolaus Neumaier (*1963) ist ARD-Auslandskorrespondent im Studio Wien/Südosteuropa und berichtet seit mehr als vier Jahren für das Deutsche Fernsehen aus Südosteuropa.

DESCRIPTION:Prof. as. dr Mikaela Minga (Institut of Anthropology\, Albanian Academy of  Sciences) will give a talk on… \n“Voices of the city: Music\, urban life and memory” \nTime: 4-6 pm \nVenue: University Regensburg\, VG 0.24 \nAbstract: In this presentation\, I would like to focus on voices: those voices that have distinguished my research on urban music in two Albanian cities: Korça (situated in the southeastern part) and Elbasan (central Albania). Among the most important has been that of Spanja Pipa (singer and actress of Korça’s song) with whom I did also an independent musical project. I will discuss repertoires and genres departing from this voice presence in my work and then proceed with the implications that the past\, memory\, and acts of remembering exert within forms music making and music listening. The communist past of Albania and the post-totalitarian “present” are also an integral part of these voice narratives. In the last part then\, I would like to open up the discussion on the interconnection between these voices and those of other urban geographies. \n  \n  \nSnacken with Balkans Snacks

SUMMARY:Journalist Talks: Wie Russlands Propaganda den Balkan destabilisiert
DESCRIPTION:Seit zehn Jahren besitzen russische Staatsmedien wie Sputnik und RT in Serbiens Hauptstadt Belgrad eigene Redaktionen\, die vielfältige Angebote produzieren. Mit dem Segen der politischen Klasse haben sie es hier wie in den Nachbarländern geschafft\, auch die irrealsten und unlogischsten Narrative salonfähig zu machen. Gleichzeitig ist die Region für die Kreml-Medien Trainingsfeld\, um Propagandatechniken zu testen\, die dann im großen Stil im Westen eingesetzt werden. Gezeigt wird an konkreten Beispielen\, wie diese Propaganda funktioniert und welche Wirkung sie erzielt. \nDr. Thomas Brey war fast vier Jahrzehnte für die Deutsche Presse-Agentur dpa als deren Südosteuropaexperte mit Sitz in Belgrad und Leiter aller dpa-Büros in der Region tätig. Seit 15 Jahren übernimmt er Lehraufträge an deutschen Unis zu südosteuropäischen Themen und bietet Workshops für Nachwuchsjournalisten aus Kroatien und Serbien auf der Grundlage eigener Lehrbücher an. \nJournalist Talks im Rahmen des Projektes seeFField der Universität Regensburg in Zusammenarbeit mit der Volkshochschule Regensburg. \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Journalist Talks: Media as a tool of international intervention
DESCRIPTION:The talk will focus on post-war Bosnia and Herzegovina\, the country that remains one of the biggest experiments in international intervention in modern history. Media assistance\, as well as international intervention\, was an enormous project that involved many donors and recipient organisations and large amounts of money. However\, it is just one of many countries where democratisation and state-building took place with little to no input from the local community. The talk will give an overview of the intervention\, its main actors\, goals\, and approaches. \nNidžara Ahmetašević is an award-winning journalist and independent scholar from Bosnia and Herzegovina. For over twenty years\, she has written about human rights\, media\, and migration. Her work has been featured in various media outlets\, such as The Balkans\, The New Yorker\, The Rolling Stone\, Guardian\, Al Jazeera English\, etc. She is the author of the book The Media as a Tool of International: House of Cards (Routledge\, 2024). \nJournalist Talks Series is a part of the seeFField project of the University Regensburg in cooperation with the Volkshochschule Regensburg. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:SNAKLAB Regensburg Southeastern Europe Research Seminars
DESCRIPTION:Rozafa Berisha\, PhD (seeFField visiting fellow) will give a talk on… \n“Crafting Futures in the Aftermath of Hope: Gender\, State\, and Affect in Kosovo” \nTime: 4-6 pm \nVenue: SG 214\, Universität Regensburg \nAbstract: This lecture discusses the relations between promises of statehood and gendered futures in Kosovo\, a state-building context with an unfolding Europeanising agenda. For young women\, historically marginal within gender and ethno-national hierarchies\, Kosovo’s independence in 2008 promised a new era of state-oriented hopefulness. It did so by promoting a new model of national womanhood ingrained with the principles of liberty\, empowerment\, and meritocracy; the core tenets of a projected “European future”. However\, the fieldwork Rozafa Berisha conducted a decade after independence\, revealed that many of these promises remained unmet. In this lecture\, she traces ethnographically how young women from low-income backgrounds navigate the disconnect between their novel hopes of post-independence and their lived realities through individualized future-making strategies. Centering around an ethnographic and gendered account of the state\, the talk reflects on what it means to form an affective attachment to a political project that struggles to materialize. \n  \n  \nSnacken with Balkans Snacks

SUMMARY:SNAKLAB Regensburg Southeastern Europe Research Seminars
DESCRIPTION:Dragoș Sdrobiș\, PhD (seeFField visiting fellow) will give a talk on \nENGINEERING A CAREER. A Brief Insight into the Curriculum of Polytechnic Studies in Romania\, 1881-1939 \nTime: 4-6 pm \nVenue: IOS\, R017 \nAbstract: \nThe objective of the presentation is to delineate the progression of polytechnic studies in Romania from 1881 to 1939. In an agrarian society\, characterized by high levels of illiteracy\, and where legal or humanistic studies dominated higher education\, pursuing engineering studies was a peripheral career option for young individuals. Through a discourse analysis of key publications from polytechnics and professional associations of that era\, and by delving into the memoirs of certain engineers\, I aim to address the following inquiries: \n\nWho comprised the student body enrolled in polytechnic schools?\nWere there any motivating factors that influenced the attractiveness of choosing polytechnic studies in comparison to university studies?\nDid the state implement any strategies to encourage young individuals to opt for polytechnic studies?\nWhat was the admission process for aspiring engineers?\nTo what extent did the curriculum of polytechnics align with the technological advancements and professional challenges of that period?\n\n  \n  \nPhoto: The visit of King Carol I to the National School of Bridges and Roads in 1904 \nSource: Aniversarea a 75 de ani de învățământ tehnic în România…\, București\, Cartea Românească Publishing House\, 1931\, p. 200. \n  \nSnacken with Balkans Snacks

SUMMARY:SNAKLAB Regensburg Southeastern Europe Research Seminars
DESCRIPTION:Dr Constantin Ardeleanu (New Europe College – Institute for Advanced Study\, Bucharest) will give a talk on \nThe Snake Island from Achilles to Zelenskyy \nTime: 4-6 pm \nVenue: IOS\, R017 \nAbstract: A tiny islet in the north-western part of the Black Sea\, about 45 kilometers east of the Danube Delta\, the Snake Island has a fascinating history\, which in fact illuminates larger aspects related to the history of the region. \nThe island was “rediscovered” in the early 19th century\, when classical historians looking from Greek-Roman artifacts in the Ukrainian provinces of imperial Russia identified the island as the ancient Leuke\, home of a famous Greek temple to Achilles. The temple made way to a lighthouse\, which guided ships carrying grain from both Southern Ukraine and the Danube Delta. In 1856\, at the end of the Crimean War\, the island was “returned”\, with British support\, to the Ottoman Empire\, and in 1878 the island and the neighboring Delta became Romanian territory. It was annexed in 1948 by the Soviet Union; since 1991\, the island has remained part of independent Ukraine. In the 2000s\, delimitation of the maritime boundary close to the Snake Island was the object of a Romanian-Ukrainian trial in front of the International Court of Justice. Not least of all\, with Russia’s full-fledged war against Ukraine\, the Snake Island has assumed new relevance in Ukraine’s defense and in president Zelenskyy’s addresses to the Ukrainian nation. \nMy talk aims to briefly present what makes the history of this place so interesting and worthwhile being studied by those interested in Black Sea history. \n  \nSnacken with Balkans Snacks
