“Rethinking and Reimagining Ukraine in Times of War – and After”, Humboldt University lecture series organized by the Slavic Department on Developments in Ukrainian Culture in the Situation of the Ongoing War and on Visions of the Future

In the interdisciplinary series “Rethinking and Reimagining Ukraine in Times of War – and After”, which is enriched by artistic contributions and in which several faculties of Humboldt University are participating, we ask how the situation of threat, attack by Russia and the ongoing war shapes and changes Ukrainian society and culture, and what this means for the future. Scholars, artists and poets from Ukraine will discuss with colleagues from Humboldt University current developments, or developments of the past that are of particular relevance for the present, and future perspectives. Experts from the fields of politics, religion, law, history and cultural studies will reflect on war-related developments in society, religion, law, languages and culture or multiculturalism, as well as in academia and its institutions. And contributions from the field of visual arts, literature and music will show how significant the role of art is as a medium of mourning and empathy, as a remedy of deep wounding and traumatization, but also as an instrument of cultural self-reflection and self-discovery and the development of visions beyond the limits of current reality.

Humboldt Network & PSI-Meeting “Synergy and Entropy in the Ukrainian Scientific Landscape in Germany”. Due to the war in Ukraine, a Ukrainian academic landscape has emerged in Germany within a short period, largely supported by the Alexander von Humboldt-Foundation. The conference at the TU Dresden aims to promote exchange between the researchers sponsored by the Humboldt Foundation.  The central question of the conference is whether the special situation since 2022 has produced synergetic effects in sciences and the humanities both within Germany and in exchange with Ukraine, or whether divergent tendencies of entropy can be observed.
