General Idea of the project

The rapid changes that the countries of South-East Europe are 
confronted with make it a necessity and
essential challenge to perform a certain "archaeological cut" through 
the different heterogeneous layers
of the Balkan region. Therefore the international Conference 
UNDERSTANDING THE BALKANS is
conceived as a challenge to examining the alteration stratum of the 
Balkans, concentrating strongly on
questions of society, culture, art, and history. Reflections and 
analysis dedicated to these complex issues
are examined during the Conference.

UNDERSTANDING THE BALKANS in this goal attempted to focus on 
examining the intersection of the acquired
codes in the social, historical, cultural context we have used on the 
Balkans in our immediate past, as well as
in considering the changes through which our societies, and culture, 
are undergoing over the past decades.

  Themes discussed

1. Codes Not Understood: Reasons and Consequences
2. Identities: Creation and Use
3. Mediated Images: Theory and Creation
4. Networks: New Quality or Redundant Accumulation
