aims to study CEES
research is connected with focal phenomena of
- a) the Estonian society and culture, some of them of carrying emblematic
connotation: the Estonian language itself and its wide array of
sublanguages and dialects, unique regilaul-verse, song festivals and the
choir movement, original poetic culture, sacred sites;
- b) the Estonian diasporas and ethnic groups (primarily Estonian Russians,
Old Believers, Finno-Ugric minorities, neighboring and contact groups).
- c) global cultural trends and local variations of global cultural
phenomena (epic(s), humour, mythology, etc.), reinvented and modenized
forms (e.g. punk song festivals),
- d) contemporary culture, incl transmedia texts and behaviour.
At a complex study of the linguistic and cultural structure of ethnic
groups in Estonia, analyses its content and philosophical starting points
and proposes models for
- the dynamics and cultural diversity of
transnational phenomena and processes;
- local cultural patterns and
philosophies created by different groups and communities, as well as their
dynamics;
- historical and modern trajectories of cultural diversity,
categories of historical variation (ethnic, conceptual, confessional,
linguistic, communicative, etc.), and the movement of innovations on the
basis of former patterns;
- forms of linguistic behaviour and practice.
