Call for Papers: Leibniz-Zentrum für Literatur- und Kulturforschung Berlin (ZfL)

Deadline: January 15, 2024

Images of the Ideal. Evald Ilyenkov at 100.

International conference, May 16–17, 2024, Leibniz-Zentrum für Literatur- und Kulturforschung Berlin (ZfL)

Organisation: Zaal Andronikashvili (ZfL Berlin), Isabel Jacobs (Queen Mary U of London), Martin Küpper (Kiel University), and Matthias Schwartz (ZfL Berlin)

Evald Ilyenkov (1924–1979) was one of the most important philosophers of the Soviet era. His philosophical interests included, among others, dialectics and logic, political economy, psychology, cosmology, cybernetics, aesthetics, pedagogy, subjectivity, and personhood. He is particularly known as the philosophical representative of cultural-historical activity theory in Soviet psychology. As a teacher, Ilyenkov aimed to teach his students how (and not what) to think, arguing for a holistic approach that resisted automatization and unquestioned tenets. Long after the demise of the Soviet Union, his radical approach keeps on shaping educational and psychological orientations worldwide.

The Monterey Summer Symposium on Russia 2024 will be held in Armenia, Georgia, and Turkey, from July 2 to July 20, 2024. These countries are experiencing radical, and quite different geopolitical challenges, with one constant variable in place – their shared history with the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union, and the Russian Federation. Armenia, Georgia, and Turkey stand at a crossroads of international affairs as a Petri dish of competition and conflict between Iran, the United States, China, and Russia.
