<strong>November 22-24, 2012</strong>, Neue Mälzerei, Friedenstr. 91, 10249 Berlin</p>
<p>On June 22, 1941 Germany invaded the Soviet Union. The preparations for this attack were aimed at an unprecedented war of annihilation which took for granted the death of many millions in the territories to be conquered. A brutal policy of murder, repression and hunger followed the invasion immediately. Over three million Soviet prisoners of war were not the only group of casualties. The civilian population was targeted as well. Millions starved to death or were killed as part of the fight against Partisans. The Jewish population, Roma and civilian officials of the Soviet Party and state apparatus were killed specifically, as were often patients of mental institutions. Millions of locals were forced to work for the occupiers. International researchers convening at this conference will examine these different aspects of the German occupation regime and investigate the reactions on the part of the local population. In what way was everyday life in the occupied territories affected? What were the specific experiences women made? What can we tell about the population’s strategies of survival and resistance? Last but not least, we turn our attention to the remembrance of German occupation in Russia, Belarus, the Baltic states and Ukraine. The aim of the conference is to reflect on recent controversies concerning particular issues, as well as to discuss open questions in this field of research.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Public Diplomacy in Context – Past and Present of National Image Management among the Small Nations of Northern Europe</p>
<p>Helsinki and Turku, 26-27 April 2013</p>
<p><strong>Deadline: 30 November 2012</strong></p>
<p>Website: <a href="http://publicdiplomacyincontext.blogspot.fi/" target="_blank">http://publicdiplomacyincontext.blogspot.fi/</a></p>
<p>Organizers:</p>
<p>Turku University, Department of Political Science and Contemporary History<br />
University of Helsinki, Department of Philosophy, History, Culture and Art Studies<br />
Public Diplomacy Unit at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Finland<br />
ProCom – Finnish Association of Communication Professionals</p>
<p>Conference theme</p>
<p>The organizers are pleased to invite all interested scholars and researchers to participate in a two-day conference dealing with the history and current state of public diplomacy in the small states and nations of Northern Europe (Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, etc).</p>
<p>The conference will be divided into two parts – an introductory day made of keynote lectures and discussions on the current state of Northern public diplomacy, and a second day dedicated to academic presentations on the historical context of Northern public diplomacy.</p>
<p>The first day of the conference, Friday 26, will be hosted in Helsinki by the Finnish Ministry for Foreign Affairs. It will deal with the current state of public diplomacy in Northern Europe and its possible developments. Discussions will be organized around three keynote lectures and a panel discussion. The keynote presentations will be delivered by Professor Jan Melissen (Clingendael’s Diplomatic Studies Programme, University of Antwerp), Associate Professor Jozef Batora (University Comenius, Bratislava) and CEO of Artek Ms Mirkku Kullberg. The panel discussion will focus especially on the Finnish context and the public diplomacy efforts of Finland.</p>
<p>The second day, Saturday 27, will take place at the University of Turku, Department of Contemporary History and Political Science, and will focus on the historical evolution, nature and role of national image management among small states and nations situated in Northern Europe. The day will start with a keynote lecture by Professor Nicholas Cull (USC Center on Public Diplomacy), followed by workshops and presentations.</p>
<p>Academic outlines</p>
<p>The organizers would like to welcome contributions for the second day of the conference. These should present academic perspectives on the History of public diplomacy, propaganda, national communication and national image management in the small nations and countries of Northern Europe. The following aspects will be especially emphasized:</p>
<ul>
<li>    The role of communication studies in public diplomacy</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>    National cases, differences and similarities</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>    National image management in the early 20th century</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>    Propaganda and psychological warfare</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>    Baltic cases: from Interwar image management to post-Cold War nation branding</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>    Cultural diplomacy</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>    Trade and export promotion</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>    Public diplomacy and International History</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>    “Nordic branding”? Defining and selling Nordicity through Nordic institutions’ public diplomacy</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Chronologically, contributions should concentrate on the 20th century after the end of World War I.</p>
<p>The conference would like to emphasize innovative approaches towards the historical study of public diplomacy activities in Northern Europe. Participants are encouraged, in their presentations, to examine those in a chronologically wide and geographically comparative way. The main trend of research on “public diplomacy” has been infused with the notion that “public diplomacy” emerged late in the 20th century as a result of technological change, globalization, and a widening of the scope of international relations. This conference would like to suggest that what recent research calls “public diplomacy” is in fact a much older process of “national image management” by different actors – in several national settings there seems to be a historical continuum between early 20th century “image management” activities, propaganda, cultural diplomacy, public diplomacy, and the “nation branding” activities of the 1980s-1990s. This historical continuum will be under study during the conference.</p>
<p>As well, one of the goals of this conference is to unravel generalities about “public diplomacy” and to contextualize national image management activities in various Nordic and Baltic contexts and at various times; to highlight the variety of practices, actors, methods, incentives, interests involved in public diplomacy, and especially to consider the specificities of public diplomacy in small Northern European states and nations. National image management activities will be considered mostly as a part of foreign policy, with a strong involvement of state authorities, but it will also be seen as a part of complex, multi-level international relations – an activity “in context”, not a set of theoretical visions. We will acknowledge that public diplomacy is stuck in and determined by national, historical, intellectual, linguistic, administrative contexts, which give it a different feel at different times and in different places.</p>
<p>Presentations and keynotes will be followed by debates involving all participants.</p>
<p>Submissions and practical matters</p>
<p>Papers for presentation at the 2013 conference will be selected by the organizers on the basis of 500-1000 words abstracts containing the title of the presentation, the name and references of the author. The abstract should express the purpose, methodology, findings, implications and originality of the study. Author and affiliation details are to be printed on a separate sheet and the author(s) should not be identified in the abstract. Abstracts must be presented in Word format, in 1.5 line spacing and 12 point font size. They should be sent to publicdiplomacyincontext@gmail.com before November 30th, 2012. Notification of acceptance will be sent through an email by the end of 2012.</p>
<p>Participation during the two days will be free of charge, but participants will have to cover their own travel and accommodation expenses.</p>

<strong>Deadline for abstracts:  31 March 2012</strong></p>
<p>The main aim of this workshop is to bring together contributions which focus on the state of the German diaspora in Eastern and Central Europe and the former Soviet Union in the wake of the mass migration of the late 1980s and early 1990s.</p>
<p>Durham University</p>
<p>22-23 June 2012</p>
<p>The German diaspora can be found in most Eastern and Central European states as well as in some of the successor states of the former Soviet Union. Ethnic German minorities have lived &#8211; and albeit in much reduced numbers still live &#8211; in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, Moldova, Ukraine, Serbia, Croatia, Hungary, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and, of course, Russia.</p>
<p>During the Cold War &#8211; when the iron curtain ensured that only a relatively small number of these ethnic Germans were allowed to leave &#8211; West Germany&#8217;s relationship with these communities focused on facilitating the migration of as many as possible to their alleged &#8216;homeland&#8217;. Until the changes to Germany&#8217;s citizenship laws in the 1980s and 1990s, three million ethnic Germans migrated from Eastern and Central Europe and the (former) Soviet Union. This mass exodus casts severe doubt over the continued existence and long-term survival of these communities.</p>
<p>We invite contributions which &#8211; by way of individual or comparative case studies:</p>
<p>assess the state of the German diaspora as a transnational community in the aftermath of mass migration;<br />
identify and examine notions of Germanness in these communities as they have emerged in the post-Cold War context;<br />
examine state-diaspora relations that have emerged in the    post-Cold War world between Germany and these ethnic communities in the postcommunist world;<br />
identify and assess the significance of any new developments such as the phenomenon of &#8216;reverse return’;<br />
identify any generational differences in perceptions and expressions of Germanness and examine to what extent the narrative of suffering is being replaced by other notions of belonging and/or cultural practices;<br />
explore the importance of history and memory to these communities;<br />
investigate the relationship between the émigré communities and the rump communities in the former homeland, as well as between Germany and these states in ECE and the FSU;<br />
examine the relationship between German communities abroad and their &#8216;host&#8217; states     analyse the nature of the relationship between German communities abroad and other ethnic groups</p>
<p>If you would like to contribute, please send a 250 word abstract and a short CV (including a list of relevant publications) to<br />
<strong>ruth.wittlinger@durham.ac.uk</strong></p>
<p>Accommodation and meals for invited speakers will be covered by a grant from Durham University.</p>

<p><span style="font-size: large;">Un altro Novecento. L&#8217;Europa orientale dal 1919 ad oggi.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">L’Europa orientale che questo libro racconta è l’insieme dei territori che, dopo aver attraversato la dissoluzione dei tre imperi multietnici in seguito alla Prima guerra mondiale, conobbero a partire dal 1939 l’esperienza storica del comunismo di tipo sovietico. La regione trattata comprende attualmente venti Stati (Estonia, Lettonia, Lituania, Polonia, Belarus, Ucraina, Slovacchia, Repubblica Ceca, Ungheria, Romania, Bulgaria, Moldova, Slovenia, Croazia, Bosnia-Erzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia, Kosovo e Albania), distribuiti su un territorio che misura quasi 2 milioni di km2 e una popolazione complessiva di 184 milioni di abitanti. Dopo il 1919, la maggior parte degli Stati successori degli imperi multietnici riprodusse su scala ridotta la frammentazione delle vecchie entità in un contesto politico profondamente mutato (l’età del nazionalismo di massa e del principio di autodeterminazione dei popoli). La dissoluzione nel 1991-93 degli Stati federativi esteuropei, la Jugoslavia e la Cecoslovacchia, ha generato un aspro dibattito in cui emergono molti dei nodi interpretativi di questo libro. Alcuni videro nella scomparsa degli Stati multinazionali, a settant’anni dalla loro creazione, la conferma del carattere fallimentare del loro impianto; altri sostennero che la separazione avrebbe favorito l’estendersi dei conflitti etnici e bloccato il processo di integrazione europea. Altri ancora, con più realismo, ammisero che nessuno dei due Stati era destinato al fallimento perche nascevano entrambi in un momento di crisi da una volontà politica alla quale si accompagnava una lunga gestazione intellettuale, dovuta all’incapacità dei regimi comunisti di gestire le differenze nazionali in modo più soddisfacente rispetto a quelli del periodo interbellico. Nonostante le premesse ideologiche internazionaliste, l’Europa orientale inglobata nella sfera di influenza sovietica non formò mai un’autentica comunità sovranazionale. Tensioni etniche e interessi economici contrapposti si manifestarono all’interno dei partiti unici al potere, influenzando i rapporti bilaterali e alimentando una dialettica crescente con Mosca. L’Europa orientale dipendeva pesantemente dall’Unione Sovietica, ma al rapporto di subordinazione degli anni quaranta e cinquanta si sostituì in seguito una “lealtà condizionata”. La storia dell’Europa orientale resta dunque in parte, anche dopo il 1945, la somma di vicende nazionali. Il quarantennio comunista ha tuttavia impresso su questi paesi un marchio pronunciato. Dopo il 1989 molti si erano illusi che il comunismo costituisse una parentesi storica, facilmente superabile attraverso programmi di privatizzazione dell’economia e democratizzazione della vita politica. La “deviazione” comunista, sommandosi alle specificità ereditate dal periodo 1919-45 (squilibri sociali, conflitti nazionali, instabilità politica), incise in modo assai più profondo di quanto immaginabile sulla mentalità collettiva e sulle strutture sociali dei paesi ex comunisti. Probabilmente la comune eredità di un passato scomodo che esita a passare costituisce l’unico, vero profondo legame che l’Unione Sovietica sia riuscita a creare con i suoi riluttanti satelliti. In ciascuno dei sette capitoli, il volume cerca di combinare un taglio generale cronologico con un approccio tematico comparato, incentrato sull’evoluzione economica e sociale dei vari paesi. Il nazionalismo e il fattore etnico non bastano infatti a spiegare la storia dell’Europa orientale del Novecento. In caso contrario, tale vicenda potrebbe essere ridotta a una serie ininterrotta di vendette e massacri compiuti sotto la spinta di pulsioni ancestrali. Il nazionalismo, nelle sue versioni democratiche, illiberali o populiste di destra e di sinistra, ha naturalmente giocato un ruolo fondamentale nelle vicende storiche del Novecento esteuropeo. Per analizzare le motivazioni alla base dei massacri e degli atti di genocidio che hanno punteggiato il secolo passato in Europa orientale, e necessario tuttavia capire attraverso quale intreccio di assimilazione e dissimilazione, ricordo e oblio, esterofilia e xenofobia si sono formate le rappresentazioni dell’altro. L’analisi sociale ed economica risulta imprescindibile ai fini di una ricostruzione storica che tenti di restituire al mosaico esteuropeo la propria complessità. Sara cosi possibile comprendere perche la distanza politica ed economica dall’Occidente delle “zone grigie” del continente europeo, allargatasi nei decenni del socialismo, tenda oggi ad affievolirsi senza peraltro scomparire, portandoci alla conclusione che un’Europa “orientale” esiste ancora. Affrontando in un saggio recente la scomparsa dei tradizionali confini politici della nuova Europa allargata, lo storico tedesco Karl Schlögel ha osservato che ad essa si contrappone una persistente alterità dei cronotopi, i sistemi di interconnessione dei rapporti temporali e spaziali. Questo libro tenta di raccontare gli “strati di memoria” sedimentatisi nella parte orientale dell’Europa durante il lungo Novecento.</p>

Wolchik and Jane L. Curry</p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Central and East European Politics: From Communism to Democracy Second Edition</span></p>
<p>Now in a fully updated edition, this essential text explores the other half of Europe—the new and future members of the European Union along with the problems and potential they bring to the region and to the world stage. Clear and comprehensive, it offers an authoritative and up-to-date analysis of the transformations and realities in Central and Eastern Europe, the Baltics, and Ukraine. Divided into two parts, the book presents a set of comparative country case studies as well as thematic chapters on key issues, including EU and NATO expansion, the economic transition and its social ramifications, the role of women, persistent problems of ethnicity and nationalism, and political reform. New to this edition is a chapter on Albania.</p>
<p>Leading scholars provide the historical context for the current situation of each country in the region. They explain how communism ended and how democratic politics has emerged or is struggling to emerge in its wake, how individual countries have transformed their economies, how their populations have been affected by rapid and wrenching change, and how foreign policy making has evolved. For students and specialists alike, this book will be an invaluable resource on the newly democratizing states of Europe.</p>
<p>Special Features:</p>
<p>· Includes maps, photos, and suggested readings</p>
<p>· Country case studies are parallel in structure, ideal for comparative analysis</p>
<p>· Thematic chapters explore key issues and problems across the region</p>
<p>· Sustained discussion of communist and pre-war legacies provides essential historical context</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Aliletoescvr. Linguistica baltica delle origini teorie e contesti linguistici nel Cinquecento</span></p>
<p>Il Cinquecento fu il saeculum mirabile della filologia baltica non soltanto per la comparsa dei primi monumenti linguistici a stampa, propiziati dalla Riforma, ma anche per la ricchezza e la varietà delle teorie in circolazione su queste lingue. Il &#8220;momento linguistico&#8221; divenne prioritario: lì e allora giunse a compimento la teoresi anteriore (del Tre e Quattrocento) e si elaborò quella successiva (che si dispiegherà fra Sei e Settecento). Per la prima volta in questo libro, corredato di ampie appendici testuali, si studiano comparativamente le teorie sull&#8217;ambito linguistico baltico, le reazioni alle medesime e le reciproche contaminazioni. è questa la riflessione sulle lingue che accompagnò l&#8217;insorgere delle tre letterature baltiche (prussiana, lituana e lettone) e che segna l&#8217;inizio di una &#8220;linguistica baltica&#8221;. Le notizie linguistiche e le posizioni teoriche note al Cinquecento si rintracciano nelle tante descriptiones della Bàltia — Lituaniae, Samogethiae, Prussiae, Liuoniae, Sambiae — e nelle narrazioni sulle vicende storiche relative alla regione nelle opere dei tanti autori studiati. Si enucleano: la Teoria Slava, connessa con la Teoria Illirica, che costituisce la premessa remota della futura &#8220;questione balto-slava&#8221; nell&#8217;epoca del metodo storico-comparativo; la Teoria Greca, relativa al solo prussiano; la Teoria Latina, suscettibile di trasformazione in almeno tre varianti: Semilatina, Neolatina e Valacca, la Teoria Ebraica e altre teorie ancora (Alana, Erula, ecc.). L&#8217;innovativa Teoria Quadripartita suggerì, già nel Cinquecento, il riconoscimento dell&#8217;individualità del gruppo linguistico baltico nel contesto europeo.</p>
<p>Pietro U. Dini (www.pudini.eu) insegna Filologia Baltica e Linguistica Generale all&#8217;università di Pisa dal 1998. Si è specializzato in Baltistica in Lituania, Lettonia, Polonia e Germania. Professore a Oslo (1996), W.F. Bessel-Forschungspreisträger della Fondazione Alexander von Humboldt (2002), Ordine del Granduca Gediminas del Presidente della Repubblica di Lituania (2002), Doctor h. c. dell&#8217;università di Vilnius (2005), membro corrispondente delle Accademie delle Scienze di Lettonia (2003), di Lituania (2007) e di Gottinga (2010). Membro di redazione di molte riviste specialistiche; redattore di Res Balticae (11 voll.); autore di numerose monografie, articoli scientifici, traduzioni. Il suo libro Le lingue baltiche (1997) è tradotto in quattro lingue: lituano (2000), lettone (2000), russo (2002), inglese (in preparazione).</p>

<p><span style="font-size: large;">Fili d’ambra. Il Rinascimento del Baltico</span></p>
<p>Un’antologia dedicata alla tradizione storica, culturale e civile di quell’area del Baltico ora appartenente a Estonia, Lettonia e Lituania. Una regione assai significativa, che accrescerà sicuramente la sua importanza in Europa.</p>
<p>“L’ambra diventa per i due autori un pretesto per raccontare la tradizione storica e culturale dell’Estonia, della Lituania e della Lettonia” (Laura Landolfi)</p>
<p>È la prima antologia su quell’area del Baltico, ora occupata da Estonia, Lettonia e Lituania fino a oggi considerata opaca. Invece, il lavoro di Geymonat ha sorprendentemente fatto emergere molti interessantissimi contributi che vanno dalla Germania di Tacito al Colpo di grazia della Yourcenar, passando dai Cavalieri Teutonici a Casanova, da Innocenzo III all’Olocausto nascosto, dall’Omero del Baltico a Tomasi di Lampedusa.</p>
