International conference “Africa in a Polycentric World: Cosmopolitanism and the Local”
Jilská 1, Prague 1, 1st floor
Cosmopolitanism is a concept with a variety of political, economic, moral, and cultural aspects and approaches, based on the basic premise that all human beings are, can be or should be citizens in a single community. The conference asks questions that cut across this spectrum of meanings. What is the role of language and culture in the expression of political identity? How is "world citizenship" defined in terms of race, language, gender, or socio-economic status? Is Afropolitanism a cosmopolitanism?
The conference is another series of the "Asixoxe: Conference on African Philosophy" which is organized together by Centre of Global Studies at the Institute of Philosophy CAS in Prague and SOAS, London University.

International conference “Could the contradictions between Russia and Europe be overcome?”
V Sadech 1, Prague 6
Relations between Russia and Europe over the past centuries up to the present day have undergone considerable turbulent changes. During the 19th century Western countries and Russia encountered intensively, mutual knowledge and understanding, however, was still very low. Only at the beginning of the 20th century things commenced to gradually change in this regard. One of the important scholarly works on this topic was published by T. G. Masaryk ("Russia and Europe"). In consequence of the October Revolution new contradictions emerged. After the USSR had broken up many people believed that relations between the West and Russia would normalized. Unfortunately, the opposite is true. What can bring a desirable change? And could the contradictions between Russia and Europe be overcome? At the conference answers to these complex questions will be sought by scholars from both Russia and Europe.Keynote speakers:
Oxana Gaman-Golutvina, Moscow State Institute of International Relations
Lyudmila Ilicheva, Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration
