Wissenschaftlicher Austausch zum Thema: Russischer Nationalismus

 

Seit September 2007 existiert die Yahoo Group: "Russian Nationalism". Sie dient der wissenschaftlich-politischen Auseinandersetzung und bietet allen Interessierten vielfältige Informationen zu diesem Thema.

Das Phänomen des Russischen Nationalismus ist ein entscheidender Aspekt der post-sowjetischen Entwicklung. Mit diesem Themengebiet befassen sich verschiedenste Disziplinen, wie Vergleichende Politikwissenschaften, Internationale Beziehungen oder Gegenwartsgeschichte sowie Kultur- und Regionalstudien.
Die folgende Plattform wurde im September 2007 von Dr. Andreas Umland ins Leben gerufen und hat gegenwärtig 268 Mitglieder. Andreas Umland ist ein Mitglied des DRA.

Call for Contributions: Russian Nationalism Links List

 
Scholars, experts, journalists, students and other specialists are invited to make contributions to the new web-resource “Links on Russian Nationalism” at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/russian_nationalism/links. There are now several folders with over 150 links to relevant papers, bibliographies, books, primary sources and other material that is freely available on the WWW. Altogether, the various resources to which these links lead list hundreds of texts related, in one way or another, to Russian nationalism.

You can add a text - your own or somebody else’s - already published and freely accessible on the web by simply following the below instructions.

Or, you can add a yet unpublished text or a text not yet freely available on the web to this list. For doing the latter, you would first have to publish this text somewhere else on the WWW, for instance, within an established web newspaper, specialized web site, or scholarly web journal that allows free access to its articles. Once your text has appeared there, you can set a link to your new web-based publication in the appropriate folder of the „Links“ section.

Please, create only in exceptional circumstances links to individual blogs. This could be the case, for instance, if an important ideological agenda, longer biographical statement or analytic contribution is published by a relevant nationalist blogger. Be, however, selective!

For making an addition of whatever kind to the „Links“ list, you would have to create a Yahoo-Account of your own (unless you have already one). Please, visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/russian_nationalism/, and click „Join this Group“ (you can easily leave the Group and Yahoo later). Once you have a Yahoo account and become a Group member, go to “Links”, open the relevant folder and click „Add Link“. Follow the instructions and apply the format/style of the previous listings which is the following:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please, feel free to add relevant links as you see fit. Sometimes contributions from one folder to another might be moved. For instance, if you are a Great Russian patriot who wants to add a link to an article with a theory of why Russia should dominate some other people (e.g. the Small Russians), your contribution might be moved, within the links list, from the folder „Theorizing Russian Nationalism“ to the folder „Programs, Interviews and Other Primary Sources“. That means that, usually, relevant contributions will not be removed, but might be pasted into a different folder. Only additions that have little empirical substance, analytic rigor, documentary value or/and theoretical insight (i.e. are of little use for scholarly purposes), or that have no relation to Russian nationalism will be deleted. For instance, if you want to - as one member of the group already indicated - talk about Estonian nationalism, German neo-Nazism, Ukrainian ethnocentrism or American imperialism, you will have to create your own Yahoo Group for that. (The Yahoo-Groups function is free and open to everybody; only little technical expertise is necessary in order to set up a Group.)

Once you decide to leave the group, please, send an empty e-mail to: russian_nationalism-unsubscribe(at)yahoogroups.com, and cancel your Yahoo account.

For questions, please contact: russian_nationalism-owner(at)yahoogroups.com.
