Since Europe has always been a multinational and multicultural region there is still a plenty of space for anthropological studies of its complex and ambiguous history of relations between official states, multiple European nations and entire political and economic units as well as between the peoples living there now and in the past. The second half of the 20th century and especially last decade are characterized by waves of migrations that led to the emergence of new groups on the territory of Europe. So called "old" Europeans face the challenge to get along with different groups of migrants and to build new neighborhood relations in both political and everyday life. Within the main conference's theme it is supposed to treat neighborhoodin both broad and narrow contexts with the focus on communication practices between human communities in contact at different levels. The event aims to provide an overviewon contact areas within the international and historical perspectives. The other spotlight is to discuss the anthropology of everyday life with special attention to communication between neighboring groups and individuals.
The wide range of topics focusing on neighborhood in Europe is welcomed but not limited to the European issues. Having in mind the latest foreign policy changes, paper proposals aiming at Russian and European Union neighborhood are especially welcomed.
Possible topics may address to the following questions:
Intercultural relations and contacts of the peoples in Europe in historical perspective;
Sacral objects in Europe: breaking boundaries and stereotypes;
European countries and Russia, traditions of interaction, mutual cultural stereotypes;
Neighborhood as a phenomenon of everyday life: local patterns;
Relationship of groups:amongand inside;
Migrants in the European environment: refugees, labor migrants, illegal migrants (integration, communication and interaction)
Contact areas: borders and border regions, interaction, communicative practices;
Conflicts: reasons, conflict and crisis regulations, etc .
Field studies of neighborhood: a reflexive view, opportunities and boundaries, difficulties, the options of academic perspectives (the Russian school of ethnography vs. European and American schools), etc.
Participants are expected to cover their travel and accommodation expenses.
The organizers will provide for participants the opportunity to visit museum expositions and funds of Peter the Great Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography (Kunstkamera), Russian Ethnographic Museum, the State Hermitage and the State Russian Museum.
