fenomenelor identitare din trecutul şi prezentul societăţilor post-socialiste,

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif"><font size="1">Astăzi avem de-a face cu ţări care sunt în unele cazuri
blocate între influenţa rusească şi procesul de expansiune a UE, iar în altele
scindate între naţionalism şi nostalgia pentru fostele regimuri, precum şi
între expansiunea pieţei libere şi agresivitatea establishmentului neo-liberal.
Intenţia colocviului este de a investiga un spectru mai larg, trecând dincolo
de aspectul strict etnic, către o înţelegere mai largă şi către o dezbatere pe
tema noţiunii (în continuă schimbare) de identitate şi a aspectelor sale
fluide. Astfel, expoziţia cuprinde o serie de proiecte de arte vizuale în
calitate de comentarii relevante la adresa stadiului actual al evoluţiei
strategiilor de inginerie socială (studii de caz: Bulgaria, Slovacia, Ucraina,
Belarus, Republica Moldova, Georgia şi Armenia). </font></span></p>

documenting and archiving the identity phenomena located in the past and the
present of post-socialist societies and it is dedicated to the
contextualization of identity tendencies (some recent, but also some residual
markers), two decades after the dissolution of Eastern bloc. </font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif"><font size="1">What we have today are the countries in some cases
trapped between Russian influence and the EU expansion process, and in other
cases torn between nationalism and the nostalgia for the former regime, as well
as between the expansive development of the open market and the aggressiveness
of neo-liberal establishment. The aim of the colloquium is to investigate a
wider spectrum, going beyond the exclusively ethnical aspect, towards a broader
understanding and debates around the changing notion of identity and its fluid
aspects. Thus, the exhibition includes a number of visual art projects as
relevant comments on the evolution of the social engineering strategies in its
current state (case studies: Bulgaria, Slovakia, Ukraine, Belarus, the Republic
of Moldova, Georgia and Armenia). </font></span></p>
