SRC WINTER SYMPOSIUM IN 2004 (DEC.)
 |

A scene from one of the sessions

The SRC held its
annual winter symposium on 8-10 December 2004. The title was
“Reconstruction and Interaction of
Slavic Eurasia and Its Neighboring
World.” The academic meeting was one of a series of
symposia for
the five-year research program (21st century Center of Excellence
program), “Making a Discipline of Slavic Eurasian Studies,” starting in
2003. The key concepts are the meso-area and neighboring world in
the program. A book has been published and is available on the
SRC site, which was edited to explore the concepts of another SRC
symposium organized one year ago; K. Matsuzato, ed., Emerging
Meso-Areas in the Former Socialist Countries: Histories Revived or
Improvised?, SRC, Hokkaido University, 2005. The 2004
symposium
developed the concepts in theory and regarding specific regional
issues.
