CONFERENCE SCHEDULE and SUMMARIES

(October 20-22, 2016)

There are two aspects of the formation of cultural memory. The first one is memorial zone. The second is the zone of oblivion and experience excepted from ordinary cultural practice; it is more important as it involves more cultural phenomena. Like some inconvenient historical figure or uncomfortable historical event this cultural experience is excepted but not completely forgotten. It shapes cultural borderlines and defines processes of identification. Such zones of excepted but unforgotten cultural experience were named Cultural Exclusion and Frontier Zones (on the analogy with the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone).
The main objectives of the Conference: To reveal the mechanisms for formation of cultural exclusion zones on the example of the totalitarian Soviet past. Though topographical representation of national culture is nowadays quite common in the field of the Humanities (the methods of exposing of geographical boarders of national cultures are drawn up, theories of “cultural boarders” are elaborated and imagology is actively developing), borderline is usually regarded as a characteristic of some territory possessing distinct outlines. The research group brought together by this project takes into consideration multifactor influence upon the contents of culture and sees in interaction of different cultures not only frontier zones (marginal and containing elements of two and more interacting cultures) but also exclusion zones, i. e. zones of cultural suppression whose importance for interacting cultures becomes rather questionable.

(Chairs – Dr. Prof. Tiziana Andina (Turin University, Italy; LabOnt, Italy) and Dr. Zhanna Nikolaeva, PhD in Philosophy (Saint-Petersburg State University, Research Center for Cultural Exclusion and Frontier Zones, Russia))

WORKING LANGUAGES: Italian, Russian

Interdisciplinary Round table will gather scholars, post-graduates, and students from Italy, Russia, and other countries. Participants of the Round table are going to discuss academic themes of such cultural and philosophical phenomena as Italian patterns, identity, and exclusion on the example “Made in Italy”, which has already become known throughout the world as a phenomenon of scholarly comprehension, university academic program, and, of course, as an important expression of Italian collective memory.
Among the participants of the Round table are: Prof. Tiziana Andina (Turin University) and Dr. Redenta Maffetone (Italian Unstitute of Culture, Saint-Petersburg) with welcoming speech and preliminary remarks on the theme of discussion, professors of the SPbSU, and other speakers, who will present their ideas on the contemporary state and history of the phenomenon, its actualization and reactualization, role of fashion and design in the transparency of cultural borders, and post-traumatic renovation. Zh. V. Nikolaeva and K. Ocheretyanny (SPbSU) will make an attempt to consider fashion for Italy as a phenomenon, which has been ensuring the overcoming of cultural exclusion; E. G. Sokolov will present Italian Gifts to Post-Modern; Dr. Leila Tavi from the University Rome-3 will present interesting Italian cultural start-up, namely “Fashion for Theater”; A. Troitckaya (SPbSU) will demonstrate Ideals of Italian Renaissance through the eyes of emigrant artist; A. V. Smirnov (SPbSU) has prepared a paper about the influence of Italian design on the Soviet consumer culture in the 1960-1970s; this theme is closely connected with Lenka Naldonjeva (University of Ostrava, Czech Republic) study on Gianni Rodari and children’s creativity in the Soviet Union. Fabio Papa, one of the founders of Master’s Program “Made in Italy” in the University LIUC (Italy), will tell us how “Made in Italy” has become an academic discipline.

LECTURE
Jewish Writers in Nazi Germany – Forgotten Chapter from the Histories of German Literature (in German)
Jewish Writers in Nazi Germany – Forgotten Chapter from the Histories of German Literature (in German)
(Dr. Prof. Kerstin Schoor)

October 24th, 2016
17-30
The Faculty of Philology, SPSU
Room 190, 11 Universitetskaya emb

Kerstin Schoor, Prof. Dr., Chair of Axel Springer Endowed Chair for German-Jewish Literature and Cultural History, Exile and Migration (European University Viadrina, Frankfurt/Oder), Director of the Center for Jewish Studies Berlin-Brandenburg

As a center of culture and literature in the period of the Weimar Republic and later a capital of Nazional Socialist State, after 1933 Berlin became the most important center of “Jewish” culture in Germany. Here from 1933 to 1945 lived about 1000 writers, scientists, artists, and intellectuals, in that or another sense involved into literary life of German Jews. It is enough to list such names as Gertrud Kolmar or Franz Hessel, Ernst Blass, Ludwig Meidner or Leo Hirsh, Mascha Kaléko, Kurt Pinthus, Arthur Elesser, Karl Escher, Meta Samson, Hilda Marx, Arno Nadel, Herbert Friedenthal (Freeden) or Max Samter; these are the representatives of many other people, who couldn’t or didn’t want (at least at the beginning) to emigrate from Germany.
In her lecture Kerstin Schoor drives attention to the question about the ways to express collective experience of failed emancipation and increasing external danger employed in the literary texts of the time. Besides, she is also interested in the extent to which it is possible to interpret cultural, political, and aesthetic manifestations by writes and intellectuals of Jewish origin in the period of rapid National Socialist Gleichschaltung of German cultural life as an expression of spiritual resistance, which in some cases could, probably, go beyond the will for self-fulfillment (in the sense of the gain of individual internal will at the face of external repressions and the threat of physical destruction) and be manifested also through the rejection of imposed by National Socialistic cultural policy principle of isolation (i. e. self-withdrawal from the culture of Europe and the whole world, and thus – from the century-old spiritual humanistic tradition).
