We kindly invite you to a book discussion with Mischa Gabowitsch and Mykola Homanyuk "Monuments and Territory: War Memorials in Russian-Occupied Ukraine". The meeting will be chaired by Zuzanna Bogumił.

🗓 The seminar will take place online, 1 April at 9:30am CET.
Abstract:
From the very first days of their large-scale attack on Ukraine in February 2022, the Russian invaders have made exceptional efforts to interact with the war memorial landscape of the newly occupied territories. They have destroyed some of these memorials, renovated others, and built new monuments amid continued fighting. They also used war memorials in countless propaganda photos and videos aimed for a domestic audience and largely escaping Western attention. Mykola Homanyuk spent several months in occupied Kherson conducting wartime on-site ethnography and collected sources on the change of the monumentscape. The book shows how Russian invaders believed their own propaganda about Soviet war memorials being mistreated in Ukraine, and what they did when they discovered well-maintained monuments on the ground. More broadly, it explores the connection between monuments and territorial claims by irredentist empires, as well as the enduring role of monuments in sustaining imperial conquest or, in other cases, colonization.
We recommend you to read the introduction and first chapter beforehand (pp.1-38). Book is available online here: https://ceupress.com/book/monuments-and-territory

Abstract
“Borders in Red shows how Lenin and his Bolshevik leadership embraced the nationality question as a way of managing diversity and institutionalized it as a means of governance. Stephan Rindlisbacher uses the making of national borders as a lens through which to examine the Bolsheviks' fundamental shift from proletarian internationalism to ethnonational federalism sui generis. Comparing how party and state managed issues of national diversity in the core regions of Soviet federalism—Ukraine, the South Caucasus, and Central Asia—Rindlisbacher provides insights into their policymaking and into the roots of current territorial conflicts.
President Putin has condemned Lenin's nationality policy to be a historical mistake, and with its war against Ukraine, Russia has tried to revise borders that date back to the early days of the Soviet state. However, Borders in Red shows that the Soviet Republics were not arbitrarily divided by leaders like Stalin or Khrushchev. They were the result of long-lasting debates involving politicians, experts, and people from the border regions. The developing Soviet order was a product of trial and error.”

Abstract:
The colonial nature of the subordination of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church to the Patriarch of Moscow came to the fore in the late 2010s, prompted by the state campaign to gain official recognition of ecclesiastical independence from the Russian church administration. Unsurprisingly, with the Russian full-fledged invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the issue of coping with the legacy of Russian colonialism in church matters gained significant relevance for Ukrainian lawmakers and civil society activists. The Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) faced increasing critique for spreading Russian propaganda in the form of religious practices, particularly venerating saints such as Russian emperor Nicolas II and medieval prince Alexander Nevsky or refusing to hold communal prayers in Ukrainian language in lieu of Old Slavonic. This presentation explores rank-and-file church members' responses to decolonization discourse by focusing on (un)changing saints' veneration practices and language issues at the grassroots level.
Andriy Fert holds PhD in history; he is the head of the Center for the Study of Religion at Kyiv School of Economics. Recently, he was a research fellow at the Center for East European and International Studies (ZOiS) in Berlin (2023 – 24) and principal investigator for Ukraine in the research project Postsecular Approach to Memory Processes in Central-Eastern Europe (2023–2024).

Abstract
Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian art form that combines ritual, play, music, and fighting elements. Created by slaves in the Northeast of Brazil, arguably in the seventeenth century, capoeira has been historically associated with the power of the weak. It has been used as a martial art to fight colonial oppression. During the twentieth century, it became a codified ritual that politically worked closely with the Black Marxist movement in Salvador, fighting for the recognition of the African heritage in Brazil. During the first two decades of the twenty-first century, capoeira has expanded globally. However, its spirit for liberation from dominant ideologies continues to captivate practitioners in Brazil and abroad. In this presentation, I describe how practitioners have used capoeira in Russia and how this country's practitioners have interpreted this art's rebellious spirit in a post-Soviet context. Finally, I contrast the subversive configuration of capoeira with the efforts made by dominant state powers to use martial arts in general as a political tool to show strength, authority, and subjugation of others.

Abstract

Conspiracy beliefs are often viewed as a form of psychopathology, closely linked to anxiety, paranoia, and maladaptive traits. However, recent research has brought attention to adaptive and functional aspects of conspiracy theories. I would like to present a framework for understanding conspiracy mentality (a generalized tendency to believe conspiracy theories) as a paradoxical adaptation to historical trauma. There is vast evidence that three essential aspects of historical trauma (loss of personal and collective control, status devaluation, and victimhood) constitute the key antecedents of conspiracy beliefs. Although conspiracy theories might be adaptive in times of shared trauma (e.g., war, colonization), they become maladaptive in times of peace and prosperity. Examples from research performed in Poland, Greece and other traumatized societies will be presented as evidence for such destructive consequences of historical trauma.

Michał Bilewicz is Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of Warsaw, where he established the Center for Research on Prejudice. Previously, he was a Fulbright scholar at the New School for Social Research (USA) and DAAD postdoctoral fellow at the University of Jena (Germany). In 2005-2019 he served as the Vice-President of Forum for Dialogue and since 2020 he has been chairing the Scholarly Advisory Board of this NGO focusing on raising awareness of the histories of Jews in Poland and inspiring new connections between contemporary Poland and the Jewish people. His research interests include psychological foundations of prejudice, post-genocide reconciliation, dehumanization, antisemitism, and collective moral emotions. For his research in political psychology he received the Nevitt Sanford Award of the International Society of Political Psychology. His works appeared in "Political Psychology", "Memory Studies", "Psychological Inquiry" and "Journal of Personality and Social Psychology", among other journals. Recently he published the book "Traumaland" that aims to analyze the traumatic sources of social, political and psychological specificity of Polish society.

Abstract
Based on the forthcoming book Peripheral Shame: Affective City and the Nation on the Margins of Post-Colonial Georgia, Tamta Khalvashi explores post-Soviet Georgia as a unique postcolonial space that gives rise to an affective condition of peripheral shame. By mixing family archives and autoethnographic reflections with traditional fieldwork material, she follows glimpses of this shame in various urban settings, from the monuments on the move to indebted houses or from unburied bodies of Soviet mass killings to awkward coexistence of different religious and ethnic groups in urban courtyards of Batumi on the western edge of Georgia. Khalvashi offers a new way of conceiving shame, not just as a feeling of stratified geopolitical, social, or personal relations but as an impulse to straddle with or repair ongoing peripheral frictions. She thus approaches shame as a productive feeling that gives rise to inconvenient coexistence, which is the only way to live and survive on the margins of the postcolonial world.
Bio
Tamta Khalvashi is a professor of Anthropology and the Head of the PhD Program of Social and Cultural Anthropology at Ilia State University in Georgia. She obtained her PhD in Anthropology from Copenhagen University (2015). She has been awarded postdoctoral fellowships from the Fulbright Program at New York University, Department of Anthropology (2016-2017) and Cornell University, the Society for the Humanities (2022-23). Her research interests overlap experimental anthropology, the interdisciplinary field of affect theory, and cultural anthropology, focusing on postsocialist transformations, peripheral histories, marginal social identities, space, and materiality. Her article Horizons of Medea: Economies and Cosmologies of Dispossession in Georgia (Journal of Royal Anthropological Institute, 2018) has been awarded Honorary Mention from Soyuz (Postsocialist Cultural Studies Research Network of the American Anthropological Association) in the Article Price Annual Competition (2018). Currently, Khalvashi is finalising her book Peripheral Shame. She is the author of A Sea of Transience: Politics, Poetics and Aesthetics Along the Black Sea Coast (with Martin Demant Frederiksen) (Berghahn 2023).

It is our pleasure to invite you to another seminar in the Center for Research on Social Memory Seminar series. This time we will meet to discuss the newly published "The Rescue Turn and the Politics of Holocaust Memory" (Wayne State University Press 2024) with Sarah Gensburger, Ido de Haan, Naum Trajanovski, and Zofia Wóycicka.
🗓 The seminar will take place online, 12 November at 9:30am CET.

In the last two decades, the topic of help given Jews during the World War II has experienced an extraordinary boom in Europe and beyond. Stories of the rescuers have been adapted into books, films, public commemorations, and museums. Yet, emphasis on the uplifting narratives often obscures the history of violence and complicity with Nazi policies of persecution and mass murder. This roundtable will discuss the (mis)uses of the Righteous, deliberated in local, national, and transnational contexts. Starting point for the discussion is the edited volume The Rescue Turn and the Politics of Holocaust Memory (Wayne State University Press, 2024). Participants of the debate will be Sarah Gensburger, Ido de Haan, Naum Trajanovski and Zofia Wóycicka.

Janek Gryta is a Lecturer in Holocaust History at the University of Southampton. He is a cultural and social historian with particular interests in the Holocaust commemorations in Eastern Europe, nation-building, and the history of social consensus under Communism.
Abstract
Poles tend to believe that, when it comes to the Holocaust, they were bystanders only. For decades, scholarship supported this notion. In a similar vein, there is an assumption in research that Polish bystanders did not pass on any knowledge about the Holocaust, certainly not under state Socialism. This article addresses both of those ideas, revealing that detailed knowledge about the Holocaust not only existed but was passed on from the generation of witnesses to the first postwar generation. Moreover, it demonstrates how, in the process of this transmission of knowledge, the position of a bystander was developed.
This paper spotlights the Alert of Victory, a 1965 reconnaissance organised by the Polish Scouting and Guiding Association. During the Alert, young people identified sites of fighting and suffering, and interviewed local witnesses about Nazi crimes.
Focusing on reports from this reconnaissance in south-eastern Poland, this paper comments on the shape of the vernacular, communicative memory of the Holocaust as it existed in the mid-1960s. It establishes that details of mass killings in the spring and summer of 1942 were widely known and communicated, as was some information about the camp system. It suggests that some knowledge about Polish co-participation in the killings, the denunciation of Jewish Poles and the looting of their property was suggested to the scouts. Finally, this paper establishes how the explosive potential of such knowledge was dismantled in the space of testimony. Through maintaining Jews in the position of the national Other, and strategic use of passive voice and omission, a palatable version of the war past was devised and the figure of a passive, blameless bystander was called to into being
