"B/ORDERS IN MOTION – Current challenges and future perspectives"

An international scientific conference hosted by the Viadrina Center B/ORDERS IN MOTION

15 - 17 November 2018

location: Collegium Polonicum (Słubice) and European University Viadrina (Frankfurt/Oder)

In 2018, the Viadrina Center B/ORDERS IN MOTION (https://www.borders-in-motion.de/) celebrates its fifth anniversary as host and hub for b/order-related research with an international conference. The conference offers a platform to consider current challenges and future perspectives of Border and Boundary Studies in theory and practice. The contributions of international and Viadrina-based researchers will add to an appraisal of ongoing and completed research projects hosted by the Viadrina Center B/ORDERS IN MOTION.

A basic theoretical challenge derives from the broad and metaphorical use of the terms “border” and “boundary”, each referring to a multiplicity of distinct issues and phenomena. The metaphorical use induced research activities applying the heuristic view from-the-border with regard to distinct phenomena in an impressing variety of topical research fields. In practical terms, Border & Boundary Studies seem to fall apart: A critical stance deciphers border and boundary making as a power relation and emphasizes effects of domination and exclusion. A more practically oriented stance emphasizes the ordering and “bridging” effects of borders and aims to contribute to more coherent border politics. Assuming that Border & Boundary Studies’ intellectual vitality and public attention and relevance arises from the continuous interplay and dialogue of these two lines of sight, the conference provides space for the encounter of researchers engaged in Border & Boundary Studies from a variety of proveniences.

Emanating from completed and ongoing research at the Viadrina Center B/ORDERS IN MOTION, the conference offers space for exchange and enhancement of conceptual and theoretical approaches and their application in empirical research. Six topical foci will inform the discussions: State Borders & Migration, Un/Making Borders and Boundaries, Language – Migration – Borders, The Gender Dimension of B/ORDERS IN MOTION, Borderless Labor – Labor across Borders, European Integration: Cross-border Cooperation & Technology. The questions of current challenges and future perspectives of the B/ORDERS IN MOTION agenda will be discussed at two round tables.

The conference is open to external guests!

The University Question in Caucasia and Central Asia from the Middle of the 19th Century until the Foundation of the First Universities - Мюнхен, 18.10.

Pervye universitety v Zakavkaz'e i Tsentral'noy Azii byli osnovany okolo
100 let nazad: v 1918 godu v Tbilisi i Tashkente, v 1919 godu v Baku i
Erevane. Konferentsiya posvyashchena 100-letiyu institutsionalizatsii
vysshego obrazovaniya na periferii Rossiyskoy Imperii i stavit zadachu,
rassmotret' protsess vozniknoveniya universitetov v etich regionach v
sravnitel'noy perspektive.
Tsentral'naya tema konferentsii - rasprostranenie idei universiteta v
tech regionach Rossiyskoy Imperii, gde ne bylo vysshich uchebnych
zavedeniy, no kotorye, cherez uchëbu za granitsey ili v imperskich
universitetach, tem ne menee imeli kontakt s vysshim obrazovaniem.
Rassmatrivat'sya budut takzhe voprosy o deyatel'nosti natsional'nych
elit i tsentral'noy vlasti i rol' vedushchich deyateley v natsional'noy
i gosudarstvennoy obrazovatel'noy politike.

V ramkach konferentsii vydeleny sleduyushchie osnovnye tematicheskie
bloki:

1) Universitetskiy vopros
K kontsu XIX veka ideya universiteta i svyazannye s nim sotsial'nye
posledstviya byli predmetom obshchestvennogo obsuzhdeniya. Rech' shla ne
tol'ko o luchshem obrazovanii dlya yunoshestva, o razvitii nauki ili o
podgotovke vysokokvalifitsirovannych spetsialistov. Osnovanie
universitetov takzhe dolzhno bylo protivodeystvovat' tendentsiyam
emigratsii iz regionov. V pervoy sektsii budet rassmotren vopros pro
natsional'nye debaty o sozdanii universitetov, a takzhe rol'
universitetov kak obshchestvennych institutov v mnogoetnicheskich i
mnogokonfessional'nych regionach.

2) Universitet i gosudarstvo
Sozdanie universiteta bylo svyazano ne tol'ko s finansovymi i kadrovymi
trudnostyami. S tochki zreniya tsentral'noy vlasti sozdanie takogo
instituta na periferii imperii bylo opasnym, poskol'ku on mog stat'
katalizatorom natsional'nych ustremleniy. Universitety, sledovatel'no,
mogli stat' istokami tsentrobezhnych sil, kotorye, rukovodstvuyas' ideey
«konstitutsionnych svobod narodov», mogli destabilizirovat' zakonnoe
pravlenie. V etoy sektsii budut obsuzhdat'sya voprosy o vzaimodeystviy
mezhdu tsentrom i periferiey, a takzhe deystvie natsional'nych i
gosudarstvennych aktorov.

3) Osnovanie universitetov

ich kontseptual'nye osnovy byli zalozheny eshchë v proshlom veke
natsional'nymi elitami.
Mnogie iz nich byli vypusknikami imperskich i evropeyskich universitetov
i vnesli svoy opyt i znaniya v razvitie universitetskich kontseptsiy. V
etom razdele budut rassmotreny konkretnye shagi i modeli,
kasayushchiesya osnovaniya i razvitiya universitetov.

Rabochie yazyki konferentsii: angliyskiy, nemetskiy, russkiy. Raschody
na proezd i prozhivanie oplachivayutsya organizatorami. Planiruetsya
