[Fwd: Final reminder about A. Stepan lecture]

[Diana Howansky]

For those who were unable to attend Prof. Alfred Stepan's lecture, 
"Ukraine: Improbable Democratic 'Nation-State' But Possible Democratic 
'State-Nation?', at Columbia University yesterday, you will be able to 
find his article (same title) in the Spring 2005 edition of "Post-Soviet 
Affairs" journal (vol. 21, No. 4), which should be out shortly.

******************************************************

AND, NEXT WEEK:

The Ukrainian Studies Program at Columbia University will host a 
lunchtime lecture by Ernest Gyidel, Fulbright Scholar, titled, 
“National, Social and Situational: Revising the Civil War(s) in 
Post-imperial Russian South, 1918-1920.”

This lecture will discuss recent developments in both Russian and 
Ukrainian historiographies of this topic, which share similar features 
but are almost unknown to one another. Both historiographies have a 
group of scholars who continue to depict revolutionary years from the 
perspective of clear-cut national and political camps, as well as a 
small but productive group of revisionists who try to show that enemy 
lines were not along national or social lines, but often across them. 
The historiographies are also both good examples of the difference 
between how contemporary people experienced the Civil War and how 
historians later described their experiences.

Additionally, Mr. Gyidel will report on his findings at the Bakhmetteff 
Archive (Columbia Univ.) on the history of the White movement in Ukraine.

Ernest Gyidel received his B.A. from Uzhhorod State University, M.A. 
from Central European University (Budapest). Recently he finished Ph.D. 
studies at the Institute for European Studies of the National Academy of 
Sciences of Ukraine. He is a visiting Fulbright Scholar at the Harriman 
Institute for the 2005-2006 academic year.

WHEN: Tuesday, February 28 at 1:00pm.
WHERE: Room 1219 of the International Affairs Building at Columbia 
University (420 W. 118th St.)

Free and open to the public. Fore more information, contact Diana 
Howansky at (212) 854-4697 or ukrainianstudies at columbia.edu.

"UKRAINE: AN IMPROBABLE DEMOCRATIC 'NATION STATE' BUT A POSSIBLE

Democratic Transitions and Democratic Consolidation: Southern Europe,
South America and Post-Communist Europe," now translated into around ten

Societies: Beyond the Nation-State Model," discusses the concept of a
state-nation mainly via Spanish, Belgian and Indian materials.

In his lecture, Prof. Stepan will discuss how Ukraine fits into the
nation-state/state-nation framework.

Budapest, Prague and Warsaw, and the Gladstone Professor at All Souls
College in Oxford.
