The two keynote presentations from the UKRAINETT+ conference at the University of Bergen, “The War and Beyond: Perspectives on Ukrainian Culture and Society”, are now available on our YouTube channel.
Culture Bridges in Europe and Ukrainian Literature During Wartime: Identity, Resistance, and Cultural Dialogue (Bohdana Neborak)
Bohdana Neborak delivered a public keynote exploring how Ukrainian literature during the ongoing war has become a vital lens for understanding Ukrainian identity and the dynamics of resistance to Russian aggression. Both within Ukraine and internationally, literature provides a space for dialogue and reflection on contemporary realities.
Living on the Edge: Ukraine, Overcoming Empire and Cultural Entanglements (Uilleam Blacker)
Uilleam Blacker delivered a public keynote addressing Ukraine’s complex history, not only as a source of hardship, but as a catalyst for invention, experimentation, resilience, and creative, sometimes confrontational, engagement with the many cultures that have intersected on Ukrainian territory, as well as with global culture more broadly.
