Культура любить укладати канони: списки літератури, яку треба прочитати, фільмів, які необхідно подивитись, людей, яких слід знати. Утім, ці канони завжди невичерпні, а часто — несправедливі або просто неуважні. Так, цілі творчі доробки і яскраві ідеї залишаються в тіні більш видимих персоналій у мистецьких та інтелектуальних пантеонах.

Як нам бути уважнішими до людей, які не є частиною усталених канонів? Як писати про них, не підважуючи їхньої ролі, без патерналізму і ієрархізації? Які історії оповідають їхні біографії? Що про нас кажуть прогалини у нашому знанні?

Під час події Марсі Шор розповідала про біографію однієї з героїнь своєї майбутньої книги — Ірени Кронської, яка навчалась феноменології у Львові, перекладала філософську літературу, брала участь у польському антинацистському спротиві. Вона вижила у Голокості, і разом з чоловіком Тадеушем у 1946 році опинились в Парижі.

Уляна Кирчів ділилась історією життя Петра Равича, франкомовного письменника, який народився у Львові 1918 року. Він вижив у Голокості і після війни теж опинився в Парижі. У своїх романах Равич експериментував з мовою, пишучи про досвід виживання у Другій світовій так, як ніхто.

⏯ Відеозапис події уже незабаром буде доступний для перегляду на YouTube-каналі Центру.

From July 12 to July 19, we were glad to welcome participants to the Summer School, "Diversity and Marginality in the Black Sea Region," in Chișinău, Moldova.

Over the course of the week, participants explored marginality not as a peripheral or isolated phenomenon, but as a critical lens for understanding societal transformations across the Black Sea region. Through lectures, discussions, and presentations, the Summer School examined how individuals and communities have navigated changing political and social structures through resistance, cooperation, co-optation, and adaptation.

Beyond the academic programme, the Summer School also included a field trip to southern Moldova, introducing participants to the history, culture, and present-day life of the Bulgarian and Gagauz communities.

We are grateful to all participants, lecturers, and partners who contributed to making this first edition such a rewarding experience. We look forward to seeing how the conversations and collaborations initiated during the Summer School continue to evolve.

The Summer School was co-organised by:
Research Centre Ukraine / Max Weber Foundation
Center for Interethnic Relations Research in Eastern Europe / Центр дослідження міжетнічних відносин Східної Європи, in cooperation with the Center for Governance and Culture in Europe, University of St. Gallen
National Historical and Memorial Reserve Babyn Yar
Центр міської історії / Center for Urban History

Celebrating 50 Years of the Gerda Henkel Foundation!

During the Foundation’s anniversary celebrations in Düsseldorf this June, Iryna Klymenko, Head of the Research Centre Ukraine at the Max Weber Foundation, joined Karl Schlögel and Birgit Emich for the panel discussion, “Geschichte für die Zukunft. Ukrainisch-deutsche Verflechtungen in der historischen Forschung”.

We are grateful to the Gerda Henkel Stiftung for its continued support of Ukrainian academia, including several programmes at the Research Centre Ukraine / Max Weber Foundation.

Our warmest congratulations to the Gerda Henkel Foundation on this remarkable milestone. We look forward to many more years of fruitful cooperation.

A few moments from last week's lecture by Lada Nakonechna (University of Kassel / documenta Institut), this year’s fellow of a joint German-Ukrainian Program by the Research Centre Ukraine / Max Weber Foundation and the Bayerische Akademie der Wissenschaften

Lada Nakonechna’s lecture "Art as a Social Practice: Pedagogical Strategies at the Kyiv Art Institute, 1922–1930" explored the transformation of art education in the 1920s, examining how art came to be understood as a social practice and a means of shaping collective sensibility.
