Russian Studies in the Time of War II: Decolonizing Thought in Language, Literature, and Culture
The central theme of this year’s conference will be the processes of decolonizing knowledge and rethinking the Russian language, literature, and culture within the context of European Russian studies. We continue the discussion from the previous conference, which focused on the immediate challenges arising from Russian aggression in Ukraine. With a two-year perspective, this conference will focus on long-term solutions to issues related to the concepts of “Russian”, “Russian-speaking”, and “Eastern European”. It will also examine perspectives, approaches, and potential challenges in decolonial and post-imperial discourse, particularly in relation to language, literature, and culture.
