For whom: students from the fields of the social
sciences, urban studies, visual and cultural studies, architecture,
photography, media studies, film studies, etc., with experience in
research or creative work on questions similar to the ones the School
poses.
Where: Vilnius, Lithuania.
When: August 10-17, 2012
The LitPro Summer School “City, Language, Identity” creates a context
for the multidimensional research of the cultural and social geography
of Vilnius to find out what is packed into the notion of the
multicultural and multilingual character of the city. The major idea of
the Summer School is to deliberately ground the practices of cultural
identity building and exchange via language within the urban scale, and
not within the scale of the nation-state, as has usually been done. The
topics that will be covered by research groups during the week-long
series of intensive workshop, lectures and field work include the
following: “Tourism”, “Lost, Found and Shared Items: scenarios for
interactions”, “The industry and the community of ‘Russian pop’ in
Vilnius”, “Urban Texts”, “Urban Audio-visual Rhythms”.
Tutors: Jekaterina Lavrinec, Siarhei Liubimau, Ben Cope, Veronika Urbonaitė-Barkauskienė, Pavel Niakhayeu, Volha Salakheyeva.
Experts: Rafal Siderski, Joanna Kinowska
Lecturer: Felix Ackermann
The main working language is English, although Lithuanian, Belarusian,
Russian and Polish can be used in communication with tutors and media
experts.
