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. Er ist Mitglied von balkan:biro\, n-ost (Netzwerk für Osteuropa-Berichterstattung). 2024 bekam er für seine Verdienste um die Berichterstattung über die Region den Journalistenpreis der Südosteuropa-Gesellschaft. \nJournalist Talks im Rahmen des Projektes seeFField der Universität Regensburg in Zusammenarbeit mit der Volkshochschule Regensburg. \n  \n  \n  \n

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.

SUMMARY:SNAKLAB Regensburg Southeastern Europe Research Seminars
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.

Prof. Dr Dalina Kallulli (University of Vienna) will give a talk on… \n“Patterns of Clitic doubling in Albanian” \nTime: 4-6 pm \nVenue: IOS\, R017 \nAbstract: In this session\, we’ll explore the phenomenon of “Clitic doubling”\, a common trait in many Balkan Sprachbund languages. Clitic doubling influences information structure and helps to form object agreement\, particularly with topical arguments. Our next guest\, Dalina Kallulli\, will also discuss the symmetries and asymmetries of clitic doubling in Albanian\, how it plays out in relative clauses\, wh-constructions\, and idiomatic expressions. This area ist still not explored in depth by researchers. \nSnacken with Balkans Snacks

DESCRIPTION:Prof. Dr Alex Drace-Francis (University of Amsterdam) will give a talk on… \n“How Global can Mămăligă be? Methodological and Gastronomical Reflections” \nTime: 4-6 pm \nVenue: IOS\, R017 \nAbstract: The talk will focus on methods of analysis and interpretation of mămăligă\, a well-known cornmeal porridge. On the one hand\, mămăligă can be approached as a symbol of Romanian national identity: it has often been discussed in this way\, as have other food products from the Balkans and southeastern Europe (e.g. burek\, yoghurt\, sarmale)\, using sources like cookery books\, folklore and fieldwork. On the other\, mămăligă is the product of wider global processes and can enable comparison with other cuisines and economies on a global scale. \n  \n  \nSnacken with Balkans Snacks

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

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

SUMMARY:BOOK LAUNCH | From Grand Estates to Grand Corruption: The Battle over the Possessions of Prince Albert of Thurn and Taxis in Interwar Yugoslavia
DESCRIPTION:Am 31. Januar 2024 stellt Klaus Buchenau (Regensburg) sein neues Buch “From Grand Estates to Grand Corruption: The Battle over the Possessions of Prince Albert of Thurn and Taxis in Interwar Yugoslavia” vor. Moderiert wird diese Veranstaltung von Luminata Gatejel (Regensburg). Der Vortrag findet in deutscher Sprache unter dem Titel “Wald\, Gewalt und Geld. Der Kampf um Güter des Hauses Thurn und Taxis in Kroatien\, 1919-1945” statt. \n  \nAbstract: \nAls Jugoslawien 1918 gegründet wurde\, besaßen adlige Grundbesitzer noch große Teile des Landes. Dies galt vor allem für die nordwestliche Hälfte des Staates\, die früher zur Habsburgermonarchie gehört hatte. Mit rund 38.000 Hektar war Fürst Albert von Thurn und Taxis der größte private Waldbesitzer des neuen Königreichs. Jugoslawische Politiker forderten eine Enteignung\, die als Herstellung sozialer und historischer Gerechtigkeit gerechtfertigt wurde. Gleichzeitig versuchten politische und wirtschaftliche Netzwerke\, den Besitz in ihre eigenen Taschen zu lenken. Die beteiligten Seiten – Thurn und Taxis\, jugoslawische Beamte\, nationale und internationale Unternehmen – kämpften mit verschiedenen Mitteln für ihre Interessen\, von Gerichtsverfahren über internationale Arbitrage bis hin zu politischem Lobbyismus. Dieses Buch destilliert aus diesen Methoden eine “Grammatik der Korruption” im Holzgeschäft der Zwischenkriegszeit. Für mehr Informationen siehe hier \nKlaus Buchenau: \nEr ist Professor für Geschichte Südost- und Osteuropas an der Universität Regensburg. Zu Beginn seiner akademischen Laufbahn widmete er sich zunächst der Soziolinguistik\, dann der Religionsgeschichte. Unter dem Eindruck der Finanzkrise seit 2008 erweiterte er seine Forschungsinteressen auf Ressourcenverteilung\, staatliches Misstrauen und die Geschichte der Korruption. \nKooperation: \nGraduiertenschule für Ost- und Südosteuropastudien \nEvangelisches Bildungswerk Regensburg \n

SUMMARY:SNAKLAB Regensburg Southeastern Europe Research Seminars
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Miroslav Pavlović (University Novi Sad) will give a talk on \n“Between “Turkish Yoke” and Ottoman Reality: Ottoman Heritage in Contemporary Serbian Historiography” \nTime: 4-6 pm \nVenue: IOS\, R017 \nAbstract: Early proclaimed dichotomy in Serbian historiography between the “national approach” and Ottoman studies was created in the 19th century and maintained until the early 21st century. This “Methodenstreit” or ideological issue\, positioned Ottomanists between being practitioners of an auxiliary discipline of the modern historiography and experts of one of its most challenging research fields. The fear of the so-called defterology paradox\, or the unresolved contradictions of the transitional period of Ottoman history were the sources of insecurities\, that contributed to marginalization of Ottoman studies. The last two decades proved to be a turning point. In one moment\, all three history departments in Serbia (at the Belgrade\, Novi Sad and Niš Universities) employed experts in the Ottoman studies. New approaches in the study of Ottoman history\, predominantly of the transitional period (17th–18th centuries) started to open possibilities for the change of the position of Ottomanists in Serbian academia in the last two decades. The Ottoman studies offered “something that could not be neglected” regarding the progress of a society in transition and its changing perception of its own past. \n  \nSnacken with Balkans Snacks

SUMMARY:Southeast European Studies Online Platform: Interdisciplinary approaches to digital humanities
DESCRIPTION:Sanja Durin (Institute of Ethnology and Folklore Research\, Zagreb): “From pasture to wilderness: How Velebit became the ultimate place of solitude and adventure” \nAbstract: Although today represented as “wild”\, the Velebit mountain was for centuries the habitat of people\, a place of coexistence of herders and nature. Today\, only old photos and piles of stacked stones that were once the homes\, “stanovi” of herders and their families tell about it. As A. L. Tsing noted for forests\, natural landscapes “are always historical – and the habits through which we learn to forget this blinds us to the dynamism of nature”. Velebit’s landscapes and narratives about them change because their visitors change\, too. Recent (re)popularization of wilderness through outdoor lifestyle has created an imaginary of untouched\, “virgin”\, indestructible and attractive Velebit’s wilderness. Using a rephotograph of the Velebit landscapes\, I question the changes in the relationship between man and the mountain and the environmental changes of the Velebit landscapes. \n  \nAgim Poshka (South East European University\, Tetovo): “How to Teach Digital Literacy?” \nAbstract: The focus will be on Information literacy and the ethical aspects of using digital resources. Also\, the importance of understanding digital footprints and how to protect yourself online will be discussed. The risks of being a victim of fake news\, cyberbullying and other aspects of handling securely digital communication for educational purposes. \nhttps://uni-regensburg.zoom-x.de/j/62411825548?pwd=Y2pFL3V0aWNEQko2eXphQ2VJMFdTQT09 \n(Meeting-ID: 624 1182 5548\, Kenncode: 519637)

SUMMARY:Southeast European Studies Online Platform: Interdisciplinary approaches to digital humanities
DESCRIPTION:Jiři Kocian (Center for Digital Humanities Integration Malach Center for Visual History Charles University Prague): “Re-presentation and Digital presence of Holocaust Survivors’ Testimonies” \nAbstract: In the current times\, research in modern history and area studies is in an ever-increasing manner engulfed in both offline and online digital environments. This poses a challenge to the researchers\, who are situated in the position of ‘users’ and thus experience a shift in research practices when working with digitized primary sources. This presentation will discuss selected issues emanating from the situation when we set on our research path along the venues pre-crafted by user interfaces\, inherited ontologies and source presentations which cater to specific user experiences. As a case for demonstration\, we will look at the current role of Holocaust survivors’ testimonies in the context of Digital Humanities\, a highly symbiotic relationship lasting for more than 30 years. \n  \nAlexandru Dincovici (New Europe College Bucharest): “Are sensors dethroning senses? On trust\, the body and awareness in the age of algorithmic trackers” \nAbstract: This talk looks at the role activity trackers play for their users\, focusing on the transformative role of wearable technology in shaping how we come to perceive our bodies and health. Drawing on autophenomenography\, in depth interviews and online content analysis\, it shows how\, in practice\, using activity trackers can lead to a shift in trust\, from our own bodily senses to the algorithmic assemblages the technology is part of\, making the sensors dethrone the central role our senses play in facilitating everyday life and activity choices. The central concept enabling this analysis is bodily awareness\, originating in the philosophy of mind\, as it can help bridge the gap between cognition\, the body\, material\, and non-material agency\, while allowing for a coherent and applied analysis of the changes brought about by wearable trackers. \nhttps://uni-regensburg.zoom-x.de/j/62411825548?pwd=Y2pFL3V0aWNEQko2eXphQ2VJMFdTQT09 \n(Meeting-ID: 624 1182 5548\, Kenncode: 519637)

SUMMARY:ENTFÄLLT: SNAKLAB Regensburg Southeastern Europe Research Seminars
DESCRIPTION:PD Dr Lumnije Jusufi (HU Berlin) will give a talk on \n“Technische Germanismen im Albanischen. Soziolinguistische Methoden zur Optimierung von Sprachkontaktforschung” \nTime: 4-6 pm \nVenue: IOS\, R017 \nAbstract: Das Deutsche als lingua tecnica spielt seit langem eine wichtige Rolle zur Erneuerung des Fachwortschatzes im Bereich der (elektrischen) Technik für die Sprachen Ex-Jugoslawiens\, so auch für das Albanische. Doch dieser Prozess dauert bis heute noch an. Mittels soziolinguistischer Methoden\, etwa über die Untersuchung des Berufswandels und der Technik\, kann man die Transferwege und -zeiten viel besser erforschen\, als über den traditionellen Lautwandel\, weil die Transferwege zu heterogen und manchmal sogar parallel laufen. Während vor den 1990-er Jahren die jugoslawische Zugehörigkeit als Kommunikationsraum dieses Transfers zu betrachten ist\, dient nach dem Zerfall Jugoslawiens die Migration als Mittler dieses Sprachtransfers\, der durch Materialebeschaffungswege\, etwa über Online-Portale\, enorm gefördert wird. \nSnacken with Balkans Snacks

SUMMARY:Southeast European Studies Online Platform: Interdisciplinary approaches to digital humanities
DESCRIPTION:Benedikt Perak (University of Rijeka): “AI Assistants in Tourism: Enhancing Cultural Enrichment Experiences” \nAbstract: In the rapidly evolving world of travel\, AI assistants have emerged as transformative tools\, not only for simplifying logistics but also for deepening cultural understanding. This talk delves into the innovative ways in which AI technology is bridging gaps between tourists and their destinations. We explore how AI assistants can provide context\, historical insights\, language translations\, and personalized recommendations\, allowing travelers to immerse themselves more deeply in the local culture and history. By leveraging these tools\, tourists can transcend the traditional sightseeing model\, fostering genuine connections and enriching their global perspective. \n  \nBjörn Hansen & Michael Wastl (Regensburg): “Machine translation: Challenges for linguistics” \nAbstract: The talk will address the question of how the recent advances in neural machine translation and the rise of ChatGPT affect linguistic work. In the first part\, we will outline some general perspectives on how linguists can use these tools in the future. In the second part\, we present an empirical study on translating a specific type of non-overt subjects used with infinitival phrases from German into Croatian. In this study\, several types of control-shift constructions found in German and extracted from a corpus will be translated using Google Translate in order to investigate to what extent they are correctly realised in the target language (Croatian). We will show that they pose quite a challenge for machine translation in terms of dealing with these non-overt subjects. Thus\, the study is in a dynamic and highly topical field\, as it can contribute to the discussion about the possibilities but also the potential limitations of current AI-based translation systems. \nhttps://uni-regensburg.zoom-x.de/j/62411825548?pwd=Y2pFL3V0aWNEQko2eXphQ2VJMFdTQT09 \n(Meeting-ID: 624 1182 5548\, Kenncode: 519637)

SUMMARY:SNAKLAB Regensburg Southeastern Europe Research Seminars
DESCRIPTION:Dr Annemarie Sorescu Marinković (Institute for Balkan Studies Belgrade) will give a talk on \n“What does mother tongue mean to you?” On the meaning of the concept in vulnerable linguistic communities“ \nTime: 2-4pm \nVenue: IOS\, R017 \nAbstract: Mother tongue is a familiar concept\, frequently used\, but most often intuitively understood and difficult to define. Even if today it occupies a central place in linguistics\, curricula and censuses\, the speakers’ understanding of the term does not necessarily overlap with what is meant by researchers and policy makers. The aim of this presentation is to shed light on the intricacies connected to the use of the term mother tongue by the speakers themselves. The main frame of reference is the contemporary vulnerable linguistic communities of Serbia\, as it is especially in such bilingual or multilingual contexts that the concept of mother tongue and the meaning the speakers attach to it gain specific importance. I base my analysis on the results of an encompassing sociolinguistic questionnaire which was applied in 2022 within the framework of the project Vulnerable Languages and Linguistic Varieties in Serbia (VLingS) project\, focusing on the remarkably diverse answers to the open question “What does mother tongue mean to you?” \nSnacken with Balkans Snacks

SUMMARY:Journalist Talks : Putins zweite Front? - Der Balkan als Konfliktzone zwischen West und Ost
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Gregor Mayer\, Südosteuropa-Korrespondent der Deutschen Presse-Agentur (dpa) spricht über die aktuelle realpolitische Stellung des Balkans vor dem Hintergrund des russischen Angriffskriegs gegen die Ukraine. Stillstand bei der EU-Annäherung einerseits\, Destabilisierung der Region durch Russland andererseits. Die USA und die EU setzen auf die regional “großen” Akteure: Serbien\, Albanien\, Kroatien. Der Westen glaubt\, auf diese Weise Stabilität an der südosteuropäischen Flanke zu gewinnen. Eine fatale Fehleinschätzung? \nModeration: Ulf Brunnbauer \nJournalist Talks im Rahmen des Projektes seeFField der Universität Regensburg in Zusammenarbeit mit der Volkshochschule. \nMehr Informationen unter https://www.vhs-regensburg.de/versteckte-seiten/kurssuche/kurs/Putins+zweite+Front+Der+Balkan+als+Konfliktzone+zwischen+West+und+Ost/nr/H13700/bereich/details/ \n  \n  \n
