Global Influences and Local Cultural Changes
Basic aims of this research include a definition of (own) cultural space which coincides and communicates with global and European trends; the affirmation of cultural identities as a key frame of reference of cultural integration, and discussion of cultural integration as an unavoidable process which may provide for a future (desirable) cultural development.

Nation and Representation
The goal of this project is to examine how these patterns of national values are constituted, reproduced, authorized and canonized but at the same time reflected, contested, subverted and changed; which kind of practices, works, genres, institutions, identities and subjects take part in these processes; how the power hierarchy among them is shaped and reshaped within the cultural and political fields.
