In the memory of the late Professor and Friend

Halina Janaszek-Ivaničková (1921 – 12th June 2016), a great specialist in Comparative Slavic Studies and a very close collaborator of CLEPUL–FLUL, CompaRes and CISCR-ICS.

​

​

The forthcoming 11th International Iberian-Slavonic Conference aims to provide new contexts surrounding the 500th anniversary of the Luther`s Reformation Manifesto (1517), a landmark in the construction of European modernity, and will thus focus on the analysis, mapping and comparison of a variety of reforming thought, movements and streams, as well as on their evolutions within Iberian and Slavonic cultures. A special focus, however, will be given to the changes in the Cultural Studies methodologies with regard to both cultural spaces in question, as well as to their non-European extensions, namely Ibero-American, Lusophone, Hispanic and Asian experiences and examples, and their cultural imprints resulting from multiple interactions of reforming attitudes and projects.

 

With its transdisciplinary and multicultural debates, the 11th Iberian-Slavonic Conference in Lisbon aims also to provide a very specific contribution to the CLEPUL-FLUL 2017 event, namely the International Symposium entitled “A Constructor of Modernity: Luther – Theses – 500 years”, to be held 9-11 November, 2017 in Lisbon.

 

Finally, as the central event of the 11th Week of Iberian-Slavonic Cultural Cooperation (15-20 May, 2017), also to be held at the FLUL, the 2017 Conference will, together with the accompanying socio-cultural events (a round table, specific topical panels, a poetry evening, an exhibition, etc.), also offer an excellent opportunity for fostering peer interaction and friendship and reviewing the present state of the Iberian-Slavonic Cultural Studies, as well as for honouring the memory of our recently deceased dear friend, one of the founding members of CompaRes, Prof. Halina Janaszek-Ivaničková.
