“Assessment of the Migration Processes Impact as a Result of the War in Ukraine on the International Trade of the Visegrád Group Countries”

Research area 1 – Déplacements, dépaysements, décalages

My research interests lie in the applied use of mathematical methods for the study of economic systems at various management levels. One of my research directions is the modelling of international trade.
During my dissertation research, I conducted an in-depth analysis of international trade, particularly focusing on the application of various models and methods to identify relationships between its key indicators. My scientific works include the analysis of international trade dynamics within the European Union, the application of artificial neural networks for export and import forecasting, and the development of multifactor models for studying EU countries’ trade. Additionally, I have applied mathematical models to assess trade in Ukrainian regions.

In one of my recent works, which has been peer-reviewed and accepted for the 14th International Conference on Advanced Computer Information Technologies, I explore the forecasting of key international trade indicators for the European Union using hybrid models. This work employs approaches that combine various forecasting methods, such as statistical models, machine learning, and econometric methods. The study investigates the impact of external factors on EU international trade and develops hybrid models that account for these influences

CV

Nataliia Dziubanovska, Dr. Sc. (Economics), Professor at the Department of Applied Mathematics, West Ukrainian National University, Ternopil, Ukraine.

I obtained my Doctorate in Economic Sciences in 2021 with a dissertation focused on methods and models for measuring and evaluating international trade among countries. In 2023, I was awarded the title of Professor at the Department of Applied Mathematics at West Ukrainian National University. Earlier, in 2015, I earned my Ph.D. in Economics with a dissertation on modelling bank credit and deposit policy. I also hold two Master’s degrees (equivalent to Specialist Diplomas): one in Banking (2007), and another in Pedagogy and Methods of Secondary Education, Mathematics, and Basics of Informatics (2006).

“The Philosophical Concept of Rebellion: Albert Camus and the Spirit of Anarchy”

Contact: dominik.kulcsar[@]cefres.cz

Research area 2: Norms and Transgressions

The main focus of my dissertation is a historical analysis of the concept of rebellion. I work with the theories of the Russian anarchists, Mikhail Bakunin, Pyotr Kropotkin, and the French philosopher Albert Camus, all of whom consider rebellion as originating from the notion of freedom. Beyond this common thread, I have discovered a deeper, so far not-fully explored, historical and conceptual connection, between Camus’s philosophy of rebellion the anarchist writings of Bakunin, and also Kropotkin.

“Agency and Emancipation: A Decolonial Analysis of the Lived Experience of Hazara Women in Exile in Europe”

Contact: seema.sridhar[@]cefres.cz

Research area 1: Displacement, Dépaysement and Discrepancies

My research focuses on the lived experiences of conflict, international intervention, and displacement of persecuted communities from present-day Afghanistan, by examining the narratives of the Hazara diaspora women living in select cities in Europe. By drawing upon the linkages from the host country to the home country, connecting the dots between women’s lived experiences of change during intervention in Afghanistan, to circumstances leading to displacement and their capacities to cope with resettlement, and their involvement in advocacy and empowerment initiatives, I trace the circle of participation and agency over a continuum of violence.

“References to French, American and British Popular Cultures in Czechoslovak cinema, 19691982″

Contact : anastasia.mamaeva(@)cefres.cz

Research Area 2: Norms and Transgressions

From political thrillers to burlesque adaptations of Belle Époque dime novels, references to French, American and British pop culture characters and tropes abound in the Czechoslovak cinema of the “offensive normalization” era. In line with recent works on the concept of “porous Iron Curtain” and the remapping of Cold War media Anastasia’s PhD thesis aims to show that pop culture references abide by their own rules and travel along different routes than those indicated by the political maps of the time.

“Winning the battle of ideas in Europe. Production and circulation of ideas on Ukraine in a war context (France and Czechia)”

Contact: brivejosephine(@)gmail.com

Research area 1 : Displacements, “dépaysement”, discrepancies

My thesis investigates the upheaval caused by the large-scale invasion of Ukraine for Central and Eastern European specialists in academic, cultural and media circles in France and the Czech Republic.

The aim is to understand how the large-scale war led French and Czech researchers, cultural professionals and journalists working on Ukraine to rethink their personal and professional practices. Continue reading Joséphine Brive – Research & CV

CEFRES Francophone Interdisciplinary Seminar 2023–2024. Map and Border

In keeping with the traditions of CEFRES, the interdisciplinary seminar proposes to bring together one Friday per month, researchers, doctoral students, alumni and French-speaking friends of the Center to discuss issues at the crossroads of their respective disciplines. In 2023-2024, we would like to begin by questioning the very act of delimiting and representing (a territory, a period, a trajectory), in short, using the crossfire of our respective disciplines, to question the map and the border.

Location: CEFRES library, Na Florenci 3, Prague 1
Time: one Friday a month, 10 am–12 pm
Language: French

Between representation and identity, symbol and projection, between the concrete and the abstract, the map has accompanied the human species since antiquity as an object, a support for images and natural or abstract delimitations imposed on geographical, historical and/or social spaces. It also serves as an iconographic and pictorial memory of territories and the practices associated with them. Continue reading CEFRES Francophone Interdisciplinary Seminar 2023–2024. Map and Border
