We cordially invite you to participate in the Balkan conference which will take place on 22-24 March 2011 at the Center for Linguistic and Cultural Studies BALCANICA of the Institute for Slavic Studies (Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow).
The notions of LIGHT and COLOUR (and related notions and actions such as FIRE, RAINBOW, TO GLISTEN, etc.) and their values in the Balkan Weltanschauung will be investigated on the basis of linguistic, folklore, mythic-ritual and literary data, from ancient till modern times with a special attention to linguistic and cultural contacts.
