Therefore the >international Conference UNDERSTANDING THE BALKANS is conceived as a >challenge to examining the alteration stratum of the Balkans >concentrating strongly on questions of society, culture, art, and >history. Reflections and analysis dedicated to these complex issues will >be examined during the Conference. > >UNDERSTANDING THE BALKANS will in this goal try to focus on examining the intersection of the acquired codes >in the social, historical, cultural, we have used on the Balkans in our >immediate past as well as in considering the changes through which our >societies, and culture, are undergoing over the past decades. The >Conference is especially interested in investigating the deeper reasons >for on-going conflicts in the region. The Conference will focus on >finding ways of concordant common social, political and economic >structure to emerge in the new Balkan societies and thus admitting that >each region has its own specifics shall try to find a link connecting to >the cumulative cultural achievements of the past. > >UNDERSTANDING THE BALKANS is open to the investigating of substantially higher synergistic systems on the >Balkans and will urge the creation of new visions of the artists, >theoreticians, historians, sociologists, and philosophers and will >concentrate on finding a common platform in which the present historic >and cultural gaps can be bypassed. Being conceived as an encounter of >artists, technologies and visionaries the Conference also welcomes >various projects using information technology and different multi-media >applications, life sciences, etc. > > >Themes to be discussed: > >1.
