SUMMARY:"Feminist Democracy: Reconstruction of Autonomy\, Identity and Citizenship" - PhD Dissertation Defense by Aia Beraia
DESCRIPTION:Public defense of the doctoral dissertation “Feminist Democracy: Reconstruction of Autonomy\, Identity and Citizenship” by the doctoral student of the doctoral programme Philosophy\, Faculty of Arts and Sciences\, Ilia State University\, Aia Beraia\, will be held on April 29\, at 10:00\, under the Cotutelle Agreement between University of Münster (Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster) and Ilia State University. \nThe joint project gives the doctoral student an opportunity to defend a dissertation based on the cotutelle principle and obtain a double doctoral degree and diplomas from both universities. \nThe project aims to offer the new model of democracy through reconstructing several foundations of actual liberal democracies. There are various symptoms that liberal democracy is in crisis – among them are the decline of electoral participation\, the rise of far-right movements and the strengthening of illiberal regimes. As a response to this global crisis\, the author proposes ‘feminist democracy’ – the model which is constructed by looking into the theoretical flaws and weaknesses of normative liberal theory\, the foundational ideas of liberal democracy\, and offers their reconstruction in feminist terms. Following this aim\, the objectives are to reconstruct the ideas of autonomy\, identity and citizenship. Thus\, the research aims to create a normative theory of democracy. The proposed normative theoretical framework of the dissertation consists of the ideas of relational autonomy and collective autonomy\, ‘identity’ as an ethical- normative concept and a feminist-republican model of citizenship in heterogeneous societies. \nSupervisor from the University of Münster: Professor Thomas Gutmann \nSupervisor from Ilia State University: Associate Professor Tamar Tskadadze \nWorking language: English \nTime: April 29; 10:00 \nVenue: Ilia State University\, S800\, 3 G. Tsereteli str.

SUMMARY:Workshop and Concert “On the Trail of Polish Sonorism”
DESCRIPTION:On November 10\, Ilia State University will host a workshop and concert in Auditorium B201\, organized by the Music Centre at the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. \n\nAt 11:00\, Polish performers Ewa Liebchen and Emilia Karolina Sitarz will hold a workshop introducing the audience to the extended\, sonoristic possibilities of the flute and piano.\nAt 18:00\, the concert “On the Trail of Polish Sonorism” will begin. The program will feature masterpieces of Polish Sonorism alongside a new work composed specifically for this duo by young Georgian composer Elene Gogodze.\n\nThe concert seeks to engage young composers with Sonorism\, a Polish music movement that was predominant in the 1960s. It was the time of sonoristic experiments by composers such as Krzysztof Penderecki\, Henryk Mikołaj Górecki\, Kazimierz Serocki\, or Witold Szalonek. This style of music focuses on the origin of sound\, its tonal color\, duration\, and sonority. These elements continue to be of significant interest to composers today. \nDate/Time: November 10\, at 11:00 and 18:00 \nLocation: Ilia State University\, Auditorium B201\, 32 Ilia Chavchavadze Ave. \nEveryone interested is welcome.

SUMMARY:The management of Byzantine monuments in modern Greece (19th-20th centuries)
DESCRIPTION:October 15\, We are pleased to announce a lecture of Dionysis Mourelatos (Athens\, Greece) to be presented at the Seminar of the Center for Medieval Studies \n“The management of Byzantine monuments in modern Greece (19th-20th centuries)” \nGreece has been grappling with the issue of “national continuity” since gaining its independence\, addressing it in various ways. K. Paparrigopoulos\, a history professor at the University of Athens in the mid-19th century\, first expressed the ideas behind the young state’s identity by introducing his threefold scheme (Antiquity\, Byzantium\, and Modern Greece) for national history. The incorporation of the history of the Byzantine Empire in the ‘national’ narrative was deemed necessary as early as the nineteenth century\, and the study of Byzantine art and its incorporation in what was perceived as the national past was an essential step in this direction. Following the Greek-Turkish War between 1919 and 1922 in Asia Minor\, the conventional historiographical perception persisted. In the post-war world\, during the Cold War\, the perception of Byzantium became a new field of confrontation between East and West. \nVia zoom \nTime 19 PM (CET) \nLanguage English \nJoin Zoom Meeting \n\nhttps://iliauni-edu-ge.zoom.us/j/86191264222?pwd=FlaauKh9Bw5t4pZrCL9AIB6DzPcFvP.1\n\nMeeting ID: 861 9126 4222\nPasscode: 688611 \n2024

SUMMARY:"Unity in Diversity: The Malay World\, Its History and Culture" - Lecture by Professor Tatyana A. Denisov
DESCRIPTION:On October 15\, at 16:00\, in the S201/202 auditorium of Ilia State University\, at the permanent seminar of the Giorgi Tsereteli Institute of Oriental Studies\, Visiting Scholar Professor Tatyana A. Denisova from the Center for Advanced Studies on Islam\, Science\, and Civilization (CASIS)\, University Technology Malaysia\, will deliver a lecture on “Unity in Diversity: The Malay World\, Its History and Culture.” \nAnnotation \nSoutheast Asia\, including the Malay world\, is one of the most ancient centers of human civilization. This region\, known since early times\, is mentioned in various ancient historical sources. \nThe geographic position of the Malay Archipelago played a fundamental role in its historical development. Located at the convergence of two major sea routes\, the archipelago was connected to the great markets of India and China by the annual monsoon wind systems. \nOne of the most significant factors in the development of trade in the Malay Archipelago was its rich natural and mineral resources\, which provided a wide variety of products for sale and exchange. \nThe main feature of this region is its multinational and multicultural nature. It has long been called an open world. “Unity in diversity” became the main principle and driving force of this civilization. As a major center of world trade at the crossroads of key trade routes\, the Malay world became a melting pot of many cultures and traditions – Indian\, Chinese\, Muslim\, European\, and Malay. \nThe openness and diversity of the region are reflected in both the history and written heritage of the Malays. \nWorking Language: English \nDate and Time: October 15\, 16:00 \nLocation: Auditorium S201/202\, Ilia State University\, G. Tsereteli St. N3 \nEveryone interested is welcome.

SUMMARY:Recalling Avant-garde Moments\, Reconnecting Avant-garde Scenes International Conference Dedicated to the Centenary of the H2SO4
DESCRIPTION:9-11 October 2024\, Ilia State University\, Tbilisi\, Georgia \nHistorical avant-garde contains forgotten moments and scenes that still need to be rediscovered or reconnected with other\, central or peripheral scenes of the European avant-garde. 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.
