Responsibility in the field of cultural policies regarding transformation, freedom and identity.Two independent but connected perspectives: Russia and Ukraine.
We live in a time of constant change and transformation. As individuals and/or nations, we have a responsibility to consciously understand, shape and reflect on this change. The Compendium community takes its responsibility as far as it can and always tries to present and reflect on different perspectives in the context of cultural policy.In this particular case, it is about responsibility in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
Accordingly, we try to present two sides of the same coin. A perspective on Russia, its development and the consequences of its cultural policy in the Putin era, and a perspective on Ukraine and its spatial consequences. Both perspectives indirectly reflect more awareness and responsibility.
In the first article our Compendium expert on Russia Tatiana Romashko (University of Jyvaskülä) describes the reasons and consequences of “Who is actually cancelling Russian culture and art?“. She has recently finished her doctoral thesis on the mechanisms through which populist projects seek to project power through the construction of the ‘united people’ and its ‘common sense’ at the University of Jyvaskülä in Finland. You can now read her article here:
Followed by that, next week we will publish an article by our Ukrainian expert Oleksandr Butsenko on “Emerging Ukrainian spatiality on the background of the war“. Stay tuned!
