The second session of CEFRES seminar will be hosted by two researchers:

Ronan Hervouet (Professor of sociology, CEFRES / University of Bordeaux):
Belarusian exiles in Central and Eastern Europe after the outbreak of war in Ukraine. Research project presentation

Abstract
The research project, called BIELEXIL, aims to understand the consequences of the outbreak of war in Ukraine on Belarusian exiles, who fled their country after 2020 and found refuge in Ukraine, Poland, Lithuania and the Czech Republic. It focuses on circulations, experiences and forms of politicization. Funded by the Institut Convergences Migrations (ICM), it is hosted by the CEFRES and is coordinated by Michèle Baussant and Ronan Hervouet. This talk will retrace the different steps that led from conceiving the project to submitting a proposal, discuss the aims of the project, and question possible developments of the research beyond the funding period (2022-2023).

Emina Zoletić (PhD candidate CEFRES / University of Warsaw) :
Intergenerational transmission of the family memory of the war: Displacement and the Bosnian diaspora in Europe 

Abstract
The study of wartime memory transmission has great social and political significance. The past does not simply disappear; lived experience eventually becomes a narrative curated among one generation and passed on to another. Moreover, even when a story appears to die, it may only lie dormant, ready to emerge generations or even centuries, later.

The proposed discussion focuses on the specific case of the intergenerational transmission of memory among families of those who lived through the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina and among Bosnian families living abroad in the EU. The proposed discussion offers an interdisciplinary approach (sociology combined with social psychology and memory studies ) in a multidisciplinary context, with a methodological focus.  It will also focus on how the past is played out in a wider social, political, and cultural context.
