Russian Statehood: The Authorities and Society during the Twentieth
Century
Century
After receiving letters of
interest from scholars across the Atlantic
world, St. Petersburg State University's Faculty History would like to
issue a final call for papers for the international research conference
“Russian Statehood: The Authorities and Society during the Twentieth
Century” to be held in St. Petersburg, Russia on 30-31 May 2013.
This
idea builds off of the Faculty’s prior success hosting an international
conference in October 2010 dedicated to the study of late Stalinism and
the epoch of N.S. Khrushchev and it hopes to, within the parameters of
this future conference, continue its scientific dialogue with historians
from different countries who also study Russia’s contemporary history.
The creation and development of the Russian state remain
questions of great importance even as they have been studied in many
ways by Russian historians and their foreign colleagues. Already this
year (2012), the attention of scientific circles within the Russian
Federation has been drawn to the 1150th anniversary of the birth of the
Russian state. Now, research is set to continue in 2013—a meaningful
year if ever there was one for this area of knowledge. Four hundred
years ago began the rule of Romanovs which to significant extent
determined the particularities of Russia’s subsequent development as a
state. The year 2013 should also attract the attention of historians for
it was 100 years ago that a period of relatively stable growth ended
and the First World War and Bolshevik Revolution brought a new era of
development for Russia.
The conference’s
Organizing Committee invites you to take part in the discussion of
questions that remain hotly debated especially as the Russian Federation
continues to experience developments connected to the ongoing formation
of a new form of statehood. This conference has already received
support from the St. Petersburg City Government’s Committee for External
Ties as well as the B.N. Yeltsin Presidential Library. During the
conference’s proceedings, the Organizing Committee hopes to examine the
following “blocks” of problems:
1. Russia’s revolutions and wars of the 20th and 21st Centuries
2. Transformations of the political system, the economy, and society
3. Problems building a nation-state and the collapse of states
4. Issues involving culture including relationships between the intelligentsia, the
authorities, and the people
The language of the conference is Russian. Those scholars
selected to present at the conference may elect to have the Organizing
Committee translate their presentations from their language of choice to
Russian in the months prior to the conference’s taking place. The
articles off of which these presentations are based may also be
translated into Russian if they are selected for publication in a
conference compendium to appear at a later date.
The Organizing Committee plans to take upon itself the costs of
two-nights lodging plus breakfast for those scholars selected to
participate in the conference.
If you are
interested in participating, please send a short e-mail in English or
Russian explaining your presentation topic by 1 February 2013 to Dr.

============= Post-Secularism: Between Public
Reason and Political Theology
A Special Issue of THE EUROPEAN LEGACY
http://www.tandfonline.com/
Guest Editors: Camil Ungureanu (Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona) Lasse
Thomassen (Queen Mary, University of London)
This special issue is scheduled for late 2014.
CALL FOR PAPERS:
In recent years, leading philosophers, including Jürgen Habermas, Charles
Taylor, and or John D. Caputo, have criticized “old-style” secularism and
proposed instead a post-secular model for understanding the relation of
religion and democracy, faith and reason. There are however profound
theoretical and practical divergences in the post-secular models proposed.
First, what are the precise characteristics of post-secularism as a
philosophical alternative? In what sense could it be said to break with
secularism? Second, what are the practical political and legal
consequences of adhering a post-secular approach? From a critical
theoretical perspective, Habermas focuses on a revised concept of public
reason and deliberation in promoting an active interaction of democracy
and religion. From a hermeneutical perspective, Taylor’s recent work
centres on the new “conditions of belief” and the dilemmas inherent to
both religious and atheist experience. In contrast, Caputo and Richard
Kearney develop a Derridean aporetic understanding of the nexus of
democracy and religion, faith and reason, whereas Hent de Vries, William
Connolly and Simon Critchley reject Habermas’s rationalist approach and
propose a distinct understanding of post-secularism by focusing on
Schmit’‘s and Benjamin’s re-appropriation of the tenets of Saint Paul in
their political-theological works. Although these trends have been studied
to some extent, there has been no sustained attempt so far to subject them
to a comparative analysis that would more fully address the issue of
“post-secularism.”
Our “Call for Papers” invites scholars to submit a study, with a
comparative dimension, that addresses both the philosophical import and
the practical-political effects of the post-secular alternative. The work
of the following authors will be at the centre of our proposed special
issue: Habermas, Taylor, Caputo, Critchley, Connolly, Gianni Vattimo,
Jacques Derrida, Slavoj Žižek, Giorgio Agamben, and Jean-Luc Nancy.
Comparative studies that focus on various religious traditions (Christian,
Hindu, Islamic, Buddhist, Confucian, etc.) and theologians, and those that
focus on the public role of religion in democracy (e.g., Rawls, Weithman,
Wolterstorff) are particularly welcome.
Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
- Significance and varieties of post-secularism
- Open secularity, post-secularism or political theology?
- Deliberative post-secularism or political liberalism
- Post-secularism: religious imagination and practice (Christian, Islamic,
Hindu, Confucian, Buddhist, etc.)
- Discussion of (legal, moral or political) practical cases from a
post-secular perspective
- Is political theology useful for re-thinking democracy?
- Varieties of political theology today
- Re-thinking the legacy of Saint Paul
- Visions of sovereignty: between proceduralism and political theology
- Faith: religious? secular?
- Post-secularism and feminism
- The state of exception between deliberation and political decision
- Rethinking solidarity from a postsecular perspective
Deadline for submissions: 27 October 2013
Length of essay: 6,000 – 8,000 words, including notes. (For the
referencing style, please consult

Potential contributors are welcome to contact the editors to discuss their
proposed essay.
