‘Global/local’ Seminar presents:

New Global Horizons,
New Local Identities

This seminar is aimed at bridging the gap between the academically challenged interpretations and the public debate, and follows on from the seminars on Urban Anthropology and Economic Culture, held last year. It is open to educated experts who may take interest in its topic. The organizers’ intention is to start off with particular and challenging facts before we turn to generalizations. Multimedia presentations will be made to illustrate these facts as the seminar unfolds and to help participants identify discussion points.

Ivailo Dichev is a Professor at the History and Theory of Culture Department, Sofia University. ’Spaces of Desire, Desire for Space. Essays on Urban Anthropology’ (East West Publishers, 2005) is his latest book.

Orlin Spasov is Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Journalism and mass Communication, Sofia University. His latest book ‘Internet in Bulgaria: the other transition’ will come out in 2006.

The event is in Bulgarian.
