On October 21-23, 2009, Faculty of Arts and the Faculty of Humanities of Vytautas Magnus University invites to participate in the international conference "The Past Is Still to Change: Performing History from 1945 to the Present", which will take place in Kaunas, Lithuania.
The conference is focused upon an important issue for contemporary society that of interpreting the past and writing its history. The subject of the conference refers to critical historiography, proposing that history is not a stable body of fact(s) but a shifting range of meanings produced by different cultural, social and political practices (such as rituals of public memory, historical re-enactments, museums, memorials et al.) and that the general images of the past are substantially affected by art (literature, visual arts, theatre, film, performance). The conference will open a discussion concerning the performative means of (re)constructing the past, going beyond a passive interpretation of historical texts, activating a participation in the performing of history. The act of performing history also describes history as an academic discipline which is involved in (re)construction and (re)interpretation of the past. Consequently the conference will discuss the problems of research and evaluation of the past as it is faced by researchers of the legacy of the Cold War, especially in the countries of Eastern Europe and the Baltic region.
One of the major aims of the conference is to discuss these problems on an interdisciplinary basis, to reveal the complex multidimensional significance of the concept of performing history. Contributions are invited from different fields and disciplines history, political science, social sciences, culture studies, literary research, theatre studies and visual art studies both concerned with the past and the forms of remembering the past in contemporary society. Suggested topics include:
Re-enacting the past: performance as interpretation of history
Performing political action: public events and civic rituals
Historical event/theatrical event: parallels, contexts, and methods
Theatre of history: witnessing, spectatorship, participation
Personal memory/collective identities
(Re)mapping the past: site-specific practices and places of memory
Mediated memory: readings of historical resources
Aesthetics and theatricality of political regime(s)
Carnival of history: memory and mass culture
Presentations of the conference will be limited to 20 minutes. Registration form (added below as an attachment) containing abstract (up to 400 words) should be sent to the address below by March 31, 2009. Accepted papers will be notified by April 21, 2009. Conference fee: 50 EUR (it covers conference materials, coffee breaks and opening dinner). You may address the organizing committee for a conference fee waiver. Selected papers of the conference will be considered for publishing in the peer-reviewed journal.

A German budget surlups, the first since 2007, when Europe badly needs a rebalancing stimulus for is simply shameful. And it remains to be seen whether achieving a budget surlups, with a corresponding boost to the external surlups, is good even for Germany itself, or whether it is prove to be something of pyrrhic victory. With the continuing and widening divergence of fortunes among the Eurozone trading partners, net importers have no hope of ever reducing their external debt, so it is the net creditors who will really need bailout, sooner rather than later.

Tie musu tautieciai yra be galo ktesii ir baidosi savo tikrosios gimines istorijos kaip velnias kryziaus. Mano senele Marija Vaisnyte-Aseviciene paaukojo savo gyvybe gimdydama Stasi Lozoraiti jaunesniji,bet neaisku,Asevicius ar Lozoraitis buvo Stasio tevas. Vaisnytes svainis pulkininkas Jonas Asevicius-Acukas atsisake pripazinti Jona Acas savo sunumi,nes ir jo zmona santykiavo su Lozoraiciu. Acukas aprasytas straipsnyje Elita ir kandziu suestu paltu atpazinsi .Kiek esu girdejes is giminaiciu, mano tevas Albinas Asevicius buvo Stasio Lozoraicio vyresniojo sunus,del ko jis buvo daugiau panasus i Lozoraiti,negu i Aseviciu.Tai reiskia,kad Lozoraitis padare mano teva budamas dvylikos metu. Na tai matote, koks mano tikrasis senelis buvo jaunas ir gabus. Tai ne jusu pirdilos seniai
