Avant-garde moments would not occur in different national cultures without the strong desire to connected with the wider web of aesthetic searches and experimentation\, happening in various European cultural loci. However\, due to historical changes\, some moments/scenes were disconnected from the web\, staying unrecalled for decades. \nOne such forgotten moment was that of the Tbilisi modernism/avant-garde (1917-1918) and the Futurist group H2SO4 (1920s)\, which has been erased from the Georgian cultural memory by the Soviet power while the country was disconnected from European cultural context. In the post-Soviet decades\, Georgia had to reclaim this legacy. The present centenary of the Futurist group and journal H2SO4 (1924) is a good reason for discussing different\, though often comparable avant-garde cultural experiences. \nUnderstanding Avant-Garde as a constellation of different moments we will examine the specificity of each locality in their transcultural entanglement. To reconstruct these scenes\, the conference will elaborate on networks\, relationships\, groups\, and collaborations\, on their coming together\, forming\, evaporating\, and diverging again. What is the transformational power of Avant-Garde alliances\, past and present\, within the artistic and the societal field? How have ways and forms of life been shaped throughout the Avant-Gardes? What are the gendered social and spatial structures\, in which groups test and create forms of community through their artistic practices? The aim here will be to render visible realities of those groups and alliances that have not yet been acknowledged\, due to geographical\, institutional and/or political conditions. \nThe conference is organised by the Institute of Comparative Literature and the Centre for Advanced Studies\, Ilia State University\, in cooperation with the Institute of Philosophy and Art History\, Leuphana University of Lüneburg\, Germany. \nThe Plenary Lectures/Talks: \nGünter Berghaus\, University of Bristol\nInternational Futurism and Its Cross-Fertilizations in the Historical Avant-garde \nArtist Talk: Beate Söntgen\, Leuphana University of Lüneburg\, with Anuk Beluga & Mari Kalabegashvili \nGia Jokhadze\, Ilia State University\nMandelstamiana: The Fragments from the Cultural History of Russia and Georgia\nLecture / Book Presentation \nSee the Programme for the detailed information.

The liturgical practices of different periods and stages of religious inculturation in Georgia played a significant role in the emancipation and the development of the Georgian language and its functions. The trends of fragmentation and connectedness were influenced by the coexistence of three different rites of the Catholic missions in Georgia: Rito Latino\, Rito Armenio Catolico and Rito Georgiano Catolico. \nThe conference aims to broadly explore and discuss trends of fragmentation and connectedness between the Orthodox Church and Roman Catholicism\, as well as between the rites of the Catholic missions in Georgia. \nWe welcome contributions on topics related to\, but not limited to: \n\nEastern Catholic Churches\nMissionary Linguistics and Textual Legacy of Catholic Missions\nProcess of Catholic Inculturation from the Perspective of Early Global History and Modernity\n\nAll interested applicants should submit an abstract of roughly 300 words and a current CV to the e-mail address lecamiconference@iliauni.edu.ge. \nThe deadline for submissions is June 16 2024 \nSelected participants will be notified by June 26 2024 \nThe working language is English and Georgian \nParticipation in the conference is free of charge \nAny inquiries should be sent to lecamiconference@iliauni.edu.ge URL:https://events.iliauni.edu.ge/event/call-for-papers-international-conference-legacy-of-catholic-missions-religious-fragmentation-and-connectedness-in-georgia-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries/ CATEGORIES:Conferences ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://events.iliauni.edu.ge/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/eb0e647ec4bf3f852154ea437c50b439_83610.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Dubai:20240710T080000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Dubai:20240712T170000 DTSTAMP:20260418T010936 CREATED:20240705T102805Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241122T110938Z UID:10005495-1720598400-1720803600@events.iliauni.edu.ge SUMMARY:ACCELERATING IMPACT: IMMERSIVE SUMMER BOOTCAMP IN IMPLEMENTATION SCIENCE AND BIOSTATISTICS DESCRIPTION:Georgian Implementation Science Fogarty Training (GIFT) Program for Real-World Scientists & Practitioners in Georgia \nIlia State University\, Faculty of Medicine & School of Public Health and Yale School of Medicine & Yale School of Public Health are committed to enhance the capacity of researchers\, academicians\, healthcare professionals\, and community workers on implementation science. \nGIFT Bootcamp date: July 10\, 11 and 12\, 2024 \nTraining Venue: Ilia State University\, 1 Giorgi Tsereteli St\, Tbilisi\, Georgia \nWorking language: English\, without translation \nWho is the training for: Masters and PhD students in public health\, employed public health professionals\, educators\, lecturers and professors. \nTraining cost: participation is free\, and lunch and coffee breaks are included.

Russia has chosen the region as a focal point of its challenge to the Western security order\, as its 2008 invasion of Georgia and its 2014 and 2022 invasions of Ukraine make clear. Geopolitically\, the region is where the West\, Russia\, and the wider Middle East come into contact. As countries like Ukraine\, Moldova\, and Georgia seek EU membership\, Russia looks to destabilize them. Turkey aims to retain its good standing with NATO\, preserve its ties with Russia\, and assert its interests in the Syrian civil war. The region also holds considerable importance as an economic and energy transit zone\, with the West\, Russia\, and China launching transportation and energy infrastructure projects there. Finally\, Black Sea states struggle to build political\, economic\, and social resilience in the face of Russian attempts to destabilize them and subvert their sovereignty. The goal of this conference is to advance understanding among regional and Western scholars and policymakers on the challenges and opportunities the Black Sea region presents. \nVenue: Ilia State University\, Tbilisi\, Georgia \nG.
