Reinventing Ukraine at 30fps: The Babylon13 Collective
This presentation will discuss their work as a compelling “history of the present,” a mushrooming archive whose formal and stylistic elements, I argue, call the question of what “Europe” means to us in 2015. Indeed, similar to Timothy Garton Ash’s assertion in the wake of the “Revolutions of ‘89” that the West had much to learn from the East a quarter-century ago, I maintain that the “Maidan Revolution” and its aftermath show yet again that the (non-EU) East continues to fight for that which the European Union argues. By re-viewing Babylon13, we review this East/West binary, and we renew our commitment to being “united in diversity.”
#Euromaidan and its Europeanness in the Ukrainian Maidan (2013-2014): The Discourses of Maidan’s Different Political and Media Actors on European Values
This paper explores the different political and media actors’ discourses on Europeanness and on the European values during the Ukrainian Maidan (2013-2014). Arguing that the utopia vision of Europe played an active role in the protests, the author analyzes specific examples of European values, defined by the protesters and their demonstrations. The author concludes that Maidan wanted to show its “European” multinational and gender-equal nature mainly in contrast to Russia, which is depicted as less cultural and civilized than Ukraine and Europe.
Theatre Stage Design as the Hyperrealistic Social Imitation
Since the second half of the 20th century theatre has started to use completely different form of its expression tools. Mostly in German theatre society critics have started to use a term that refers to this new practice as „Regietheater“ 'director ́s theatre'. Where does this performing strategy have its own borders? How and when we could use „local architectural medium“ to discuss another „local“ stories not only as dramaturgical plan of theatres but as the dramaturgy of today’s Europe?
Eastern Europe as Other in Silent Cinema
The following study will discuss depictions of Eastern Europe through the medium of silent film. My goal is to explore what distinguishes Eastern Europe from Western Europe and how early cinema has played a vital role in modern understanding of this divide. I will focus on three distinct images of the “orient:” traditional Judaism, vampires, and the nascent Soviet Union. It is beyond the scope of this study to fully delve into the cultural and ideological clashes of east versus west throughout history and even within the bounds of individual episodes in the past century.Revision of the Initial Assumptions and the Historical Choices the Field of EU Foreign Policy

Public or Private Actors: Does it Change Anything to the Europeanization of Welfare? A Comparison across Wallonia Region (BE), Rhône-Alpes (FR), and Lombardy(IT)

These regions are characterized by different levels of decentralization, and different types of public-private cooperation. We focus on continuous vocational training and social assistance.
Turkey as a Builder of Europe: Perspectives From Memory and Identity
Abstract: Collective memory does not come into being spontaneously. It is cretaed and mainteined by collective institutions and thenaction of each and everyone. Europe, seen as s political project designed to transcend nations, faces the challenge already encountered in the past when the nations were being built. And also, collective memories mould social gruops, genereations and nations and constitute identity. Such memories can refer to real events but also to myths.In this context when you look at the Europe's borders you can see that it is identified sometimes historica
