Anastasia Mitrofanova loeng
TÜ EL-Venemaa uuringute keskus (CEURUS) ja Eesti akadeemiline usundiloo selts kutsuvad 19. märtsil kell 16.15 kuulama professor Anastasia Mitrofanova (Moskva) loengut "Religious radicalism and anti-European sentiment in contemporary Moldova". Loeng toimub aadressil Ülikooli 16-214.
Et Anastasia Mitrofanova uurimisviis sisaldab politoloogile just mitte kõige tavapärasemat võtet - välitöid kohalike inimeste seas - avaldas ta soovi esineda muuhulgas just folkloristidest-etnoloogidest kuulajaskonnale.
Lähemalt loengust ja esinejast:
The presentation describes Orthodoxy-based anti-European activities in Moldova, discusses the sources of such activities, and analyzes the role of radicals in the landscape of Moldovan Orthodoxy. Orthodox radicals believe that although Anti-Christ has not come yet, his reign on Earth has already started. Moldova’s moves in the direction of the European Union are seen as apostasy. The increase in religious radicalism directly followed regime change and transition to more consistently pro-European policies in Moldova in April 2009. The presentation also discusses specific issues such as the use of enumerated identity cards, freedom of press and blasphemy, as well as the rights of religious and sexual minorities. The presentation is based on the author’s fieldwork in Moldova.
