As the politics of historical memory becomes the leading tool of ideological construction, we are increasingly aware of the lack of an image of the future in public discourse. The future as a component of ideology, culture and the artistic picture of the world remains undervalued in the space of historical research.
Our panel is a kind of inventory tool for the concept of the future as manifested throughout the history of Russian culture. We will be glad to welcome speakers whose historical research focuses on projects of socio-cultural development, the aspirations of various social groups, the future in the aspect of ideological construction and the artistic picture of the world.
Young scholars-historians, as well as representatives of related socio-humanitarian
disciplines are invited to participate. We will be pleased to welcome senior colleagues
interested in the stated topic as invited speakers.
