DESCRIPTION:At the present moment\, Russian national identity seems to sol
 idify around the celebration of Slavic civilisation\, Orthodox Christianit
 y\, conservative values and a new imperial consciousness. In this emerging
  image of the nation\, little recognition is given to the ethnic and relig
 ious minorities with their respective histories and traditions. Although n
 ewer studies exist that take a critical view of the colonial past and the 
 (post-)colonial present\, certain pre-conditions are taken for granted\, t
 hus rarely causing scholars to engage with questions about the political r
 esponsibility for the ethnic minorities\, their rights and possibilities o
 r the imagination and (re-)making of the land and its peoples. In the fram
 ework of this conference\, we wish to focus on instances of contact betwee
 n different ethnic and religious groups and particularly between Orthodox 
 Christianity on the one hand and Islam\, but also Buddhism and animistic t
 raditions on the other\, as these situations capture the clash of contrary
  outlooks\, the negotiation of culture and history and the struggle for th
 e right to define specific territories. The papers to be presented reflect
  upon constellations of ethnic and religious contact both in contemporary 
 times and the Soviet period\; yet in some instances they also conjure the 
 Tsarist imperial past.\n\nWorkshop programme
