An academic community oriented to the production of socially relevant critical knowledge, interdisciplinary cooperation, experimentation with forms of research work and a broad expertise in the processes underway in Eastern Europe proposes to together seek answers to the following questions:

● Framing Becomings: How to Develop Languages Through Which to Explain Contemporary Cultural Processes and Anthropological Shifts?

Thematic Focuses: memory politics and the triggering/actualisation of heritage, the “emotional turn” in the humanities, socio-humanities’ problems of science and technology developments.

● Designing Change: How Critical Theory Can Be Applied in the Development of Experimental Forms of Social Partnership?

● Digitalising Contemporaneity: How to Respond to the Epistemological and Pragmatic Challenges of Computer-mediated Reality?

Online applications should explain the main theses of the presentation (max. 500 words). Priority will be given to papers that present the results of empirical research.
