UKRAINIAN POLITICAL SPACE:
CONFLICTS AND RECOMPOSITIONS
SCIENTIFIC CONFERENCE
26 and 27 June 2014, Lyon, France
Institut d’Etudes Politiques de Lyon – ENS de Lyon – CNRS - Université Lumière Lyon 2
The events taking place in Ukraine today can not leave researchers in social sciences indifferent. That is why the Institute of Political Studies of Lyon, ENS of Lyon and Lyon University are organizing a conference on the Ukrainian political space with a particular interest in forms of reconstruction and reformulation of political identities. This conference will provide a forum for multidisciplinary discussions of methods and reflection, in order to better understand contemporary Ukraine transformations. This conference will provide a space and time for researchers to develop tools and methods for envisaging contemporary Ukraine from a critical distance.
The conference will be organized around eight themes (please see more details on each theme on the full text submission ) :
- History and memory of Ukraine
- Ukraine-EU relations
- Ukraine-Russia relations
- Interactions between economy and politics in Ukraine
- Political debate, media and new medias
- Public space, censorship and repression
- Political identities in Ukraine
- The place of Ukraine in the electoral debate in France and in other European countries
This conference aims to create a space for exchange and dialogue between the various actors in public spaces – political scientists, social scientists, journalists and actors in public debate. It is hoped that this dialogue will continue beyond this conference.
Proposals should be submitted no later than April 20, 2014 as a 500-word abstract through the present web platform: http://ukraine2014.sciencesconf.org.
The official languages of the workshop are French and English.
