Young Scholars Conference “Slavic World: Community and Diversity”. Moscow, 25–26 May 2021. Section “Literary studies. The History of Culture”

Abstract

The annual conference “Slavic World: Community and Diversity” is a good platform for young researchers from different universities and research centers, both domestic and foreign, where they can share their scholarly achievements with colleagues and talk about their own vision of a particular problem related to the study of the diversity of the Slavic world. In 2021, the section “Literary Studies. The History of Culture” comprised three thematic blocks: “Cultural and Literary Relations”, “Poetics of Literature”, and “Literature and Art of Poland”. The moderators were Anetta F. Bagaeva, Natalia A. Lunkova, Evgeniia V. Shatko, and Denis G. Viren. The reports presented and their subsequent discussions are evidence of the lively interest of the scholar audience in the stated problems. Both the audience and the organisers expressed the hope that regardless of the online and in-person format of the conference, high-quality, international-level research on the literature and art of Slavic countries will continue.
