5th National Congress of Cultural Studies

On November 9, 2021, fellows of our Chair took part in the 5th National Congress of Cultural Studies ‘Cultural Heritage: from Past to Future’. D.Spivak served as co-moderator of session ‘International Studies and International Cooperation in Cultural Issues’. In its framework, a talk on ‘International Projects and UNESCO Platforms in Silk Way Studies’ was given by A. Alekseyev-Apraksin, who is a professor of our Chair. A.Venkova served as co-moderator of session ‘Museum Issues in Cultural Studies’. M.Stepanov served as co-moderator of a session dedicated to present-day digitalization, and gave there a talk ‘Perception Limits in Digital Culture’. The Congress provided plenty of possibilities for us to present basic issues in cultural strategy of UNESCO, and discuss its most actual perspectives, especially in the realm of cultural rapprochement.
