CHRISTIAN CONСILIARITY AND SOCIAL SOLIDARITY

Moscow, 16-18 August 2007

In mid XIXth century A. S. Khomyakov expressed the ideal of
sobornost in the Church defining it as the people of the Church
abiding in their divine calling, fellowship, love, and freedom of
the Holy Spirit. Understood this way the ideal was naturally
contrasted with all the extremes of both strict authoritarian and
collectivist concepts as well as extreme liberalism and
individualism, once again opening Christianity for his
contemporaries as a way of life different form this world's and
therefore called 'inochestvo' in Russian (the word literally
means 'being different'). At the same time this ideal directly
related not only to the Church's search for a renewal of life in
the new historic conditions, a premonition of which people
already had at the time, but also with the hopes and aspirations
of society, which too was beginning to realise the inevitability
of changes and therefore the need of both internal and external
reform and restructuring on the basis of what we would now call
'solidarity' (the old terminology being a bit confusing).

Since then both the Church and society have gone a long way in
their search for the true meaning of both sobornost
(conсiliarity) and solidarity. On this way there were a lot of
real spiritual discoveries, theoretical and practical
achievements, but perhaps even more tragic breakdowns,
frustration, and backtracking. As a result both the Church and
society today have arrived at a point when both negative
tendencies in this area - namely, the hard-line hierarchical
authoritarian rule and the individualistic liberalism - have
reached unprecedented scope and intensity. Besides, the
correlation between the two tendencies today is such that they
are constantly and inevitably provoking each other's growth. In
this situation 'a third way', a way of discovering the Church's
conсiliarity and social solidarity, appears as almost a utopic,
fruitless and maybe even dangerous dream.

What can be done in this situation? How can the ideal of
sobornost in the Church and solidarity in society be revived,
conceived and embodied in our time? What efforts can be made in
this respect - both 'from the top' and 'from the bottom'? What
needs to be done first and what comes second? How do we retain
continuity with the best movements of the past, both in the
Church and in society, while at the same time avoiding the
various dangers of turning the whole thing into an ideology or
falling for lifeless imitation? What are the respective roles of
the Church and society? Is co-operation possible? Can they
exercise a mutual influence and responsibility without conflict,
violence or confusion? Where is the common ground of their
interaction and where, on the contrary, they need to establish
the boundaries of their internal life which are not to be
crossed?

Can the notion of sobornost in the Church regain its specific
character which it seems to have lost? How can sobornost be lived
out today in our church - at the level of local church, diocese,
parish, community, brotherhood, church family? Within and among
these realities of church life? Can sobornost express itself in
interdenominational and interreligious fellowship (say, within
the Abrahamic tradition)?

Where is the place today for social solidarity? What spiritual,
cultural, social and economic basis can it be built on? What
could be the adequate forms of its expression?

"Historiography and the Question of Non-Western Pasts"
International Conference La Trobe University Melbourne, VIC
(Australia) 21-22 June 2007

For some time now rationalist historiography, a product of modern
Western culture, has been the dominant mode of representing all
pasts- including the pasts of those who did not, until recently,
think of representing and relating to their past through
historiography. However the works of Levi-Strauss, Michel
Foucault, Michel de Certeau, Hayden White, Paul Veyne and others
have demonstrated that historiography is itself an elaborate
construction, not simply an attention to 'evidence' and 'fact'
rather than 'superstition' and 'fancy'. If this is so, is there
any reason to accord this mode of thinking epistemic privilege-
treating it as superior to so-called myth, epic, legend and the
dreaming? What is the epistemic status of these and other modes
of thinking and representing the past? These are questions which
have been confronted by historians of India and by historians
(and anthropologists) of indigenous Australia, who (for example)
have had to decide whether to treat gods, spirits and ancestors
as historical actors, or whether to treat them merely as
'evidence' of their subjects' 'beliefs'. This conference seeks to
bring together those who, in writing about India or about
indigenous Australia, have reflected upon how to treat these
alternative ways of thinking the past, and who have reflected
upon the status of the knowledge they produce when they write
history.

Call for Papers (Slavic Review): Nature, Culture, and Power in
Eastern Europe, Russia and Eurasia

For a special issue of Slavic Review on environmental studies
Guest Editor: Zsuzsa Gille (Sociology, University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign)

The relationship between environmental studies and east European,
Russian, and Eurasian area studies over the last half century is
best characterized as one of mutual ignorance. Recently, however,
there has been a renewed interest in nature, the science of
ecology, and environmentalism among scholars of eastern Europe,
Russia, and Eurasia. The scholarship is now ripe for mapping out
existing research agendas and exploring new directions, for
evaluating the relevance of various social theories and
methodologies, and for analyzing the academic politics of doing
research and publishing in this field.

Slavic Review is calling for papers that contribute to the
advancement of environmental studies concerning eastern Europe,
Russia, and Eurasia. Empirical and analytical pieces are both
welcome. We encourage contributions from all disciplines and
especially interdisciplinary approaches and papers that discuss
issues of methodology and theory. If you have questions, please
contact the editor of Slavic Review, Mark Steinberg at
slavrev@uiuc.edu or Zsuzsa Gille at gille@uiuc.edu.

Please submit abstracts of one to two pages by June 1, 2007 to:
Slavic Review University of Illinois 57 East Armory St.
Champaign, IL 61820 (or as an email attachment to
slavrev@uiuc.edu)

The editors will decide by June 30, 2007 which proposals to
accept for full submissions of papers. Manuscripts of not more
than 8000 words excluding endnotes will be due December 1, 2007.
Submitted papers must conform to Slavic Review standards (see
www.slavicreview.uiuc.edu/info/manuscripts.html) and will be
peer-reviewed. The special issue is planned for the Winter 2008
issue.
