On 7-8 April  2022 (Thursday  and Friday) MOME university organises a multidisciplinary conference on ‘re-enchanting’ to discuss the changes of the religious culture of Central and Eastern Europe. The grand event New Approaches to Re-enchanting Central and Eastern Europe will be joined by 35 presenters from 17 countries with keynote speeches delivered by Daniel Wojcik (University of Oregon) and Alessandro Testa (Charles University, Prague). 

Reflecting the multidisciplinarity of the event, the presentations will look at a number of phenomena in contemporary religious culture, such as the artistic dimensions of UFO culture, COVID-19 conspiracy theories mushrooming in social media, the mythologies of contemporary paganism, pagan metal and Christian rock music, the emergence of sacred edifices in urban spaces, popular pilgrimages or the connections between religion and neo-nationalism. 

The conference is organised by the MOME Institute for Theoretical Studies in association with the Research Group of the Re-enchanting Central and Eastern Europe ERC.CZ at Charles University in Prague. The presenters from our university include associate professor Anna Keszeg from the Institute for Theoretical Studies, doctoral student Zoltán Körösvölgyi and associate professor and chief organiser of the event István Povedák. 

 

The event will be in English and open to the public.

Working at the intersection of fiction and documentary, and stage and background, German film and video artist Julian Rosefeldt combines cinematography, architecture, theatre and literature in his installations. Particularly interested in the relationship between stage and background, the visible and the hidden, the original and the imitation, his films not only evoke social narratives but also reflect on the moving image itself being an archive, a factory of myths and an experimental space.

Az eseményen pszichológusok és terapeuták röviden bemutatják kapcsolódó tapasztalataikat, majd tematikus, kiscsoportos beszélgetésekre hívjuk a résztvevőket. A kiscsoportos beszélgetések fókuszában a VR-terápiák etikai, design- és hatásmérési kérdései állnak, például: Hogyan mérhető a VR-élmények hatása? Milyen etikai dilemmákat vet fel a virtuális tér a terápiában? Miként lehet a VR-t személyre szabni idős vagy sérülékeny csoportok számára?
