Conducting fieldwork in the post-socialist countryside

I. zasedání semináře CEFRESu 2021-2022

Conducting fieldwork in the post-socialist countryside. Crossed perspectives on ethnographic research in Mongolia and Belarus

Kdy: ve středu 6. října 2021, ve 16:30
Kde: v CEFRESu a online (k registraci napíšte na adresu claire(@)cefres.cz)
Jazyk: angličtina
Hosté:
Veronika Gruca (doktorandka na univerzitě Paris-Nanterre a v CEFRESu)
&
Ronan Hervouet (profesor sociologie na univerzitě v Bordeaux hostující v CEFRESu s podporou CNRS v roce 2021-2022)

Veronique Gruca and Ronan Hervouet will both present their research based on fieldworks respectively led in Mongolia and Belarus, and cross perspectives in order to address issues regarding the access to the fieldwork, the ways of conducting research, and the use of gathered ethnographic data. Through the focus on two different research subjects – rituals and family stories in rural Mongolia, everyday politics in rural Belarus – the aim is to raise broader epistemological questions and lead to a common reflection on the ways of constructing ethnographic research.

Argumentary

Since June 2020, Belarus has been experiencing a series of popular mobilizations that threaten the authoritarian regime of Alexander Lukashenko, in power since 1994. This largely unexpected event raises important questions that will be examined during this seminar: on the genesis of this unprecedented unrest and the factors that made it possible; on the characteristics, modalities and significations of the mobilizations; on their ability to enlist or not enlist the majority of the Belarusian population, on the already perceptible effects of the protest on the relations between Belarus and Russia and on the possible role to be played by the European Union, etc. The seminar will bring together researchers and experts from different countries in order to compare their analyses and different possible scenarii.

➤ Pro páteční konferenci je nutná registrace na: cefres@cefres.cz

Rok 2019 představuje v Evropě důležitý symbol a významnou pamětní událost. Při příležitosti oslav třiceti let od pádu komunistických režimů ve státech střední a východní Evropy a zároveň patnácti let od jejich evropské integrace se organizují mnohé politické, vzpomínkové a akademické iniciativy po celé Evropě.

Toto třicáté výročí je jedinečnou příležitostí k reflexi revolučních zkušeností a změn režimů v různých historických kontextech. Cílem této konference je proto nabídnout prostřednictvím srovnávacího přístupu širší a nové akademické perspektivy přeměn režimů a přechodů k demokracii. Jedním z našich zaměření bude nepochybně postkomunistická Evropa. Dále i arabský svět po povstáních v roce 2011 nebo po politických transformacích v subsaharské Africe.

Budeme zpochybňovat pojem „revoluce“ několika interpretacemi, které revoluce vyvolává: propagace, sublimace; ale také diskvalifikace, ba dokonce jasné odmítnutí.
