Special Seminar
Co-sponsored by: Global COE “Reshaping Japan’s Border Studies”
Lecturer: Victor Friedman (Univ. of Chicago)
Topic: Borders of Identity - Creating Balkan Selves

This lecture will look at the history of borders of identity in the Balkans, with special reference to approaches to multilingualism (e.g., Pulevski vs Daniil). In this lecture I will also examine some other manifestations of ethnocultural (ethnomusicological) borders and especially border-crossing such as Turbo, Chalga (vs Chalgija), Tallava, Manele, etc., where multilingualism frequently figures as part of musical identity.
Date & Time: October 12(Tue.) 16:30-18:00
Place: Slavic Research Center, Room 401 (4th floor)
Everyone interested in this topic is welcome to attend.

Special Seminar:  Victor Friedman
Co-sponsored by: Tokyo University
Date & Time: October 16(Tue.) 13:00-15:00
Place: Tokyo University
Topic: Dialectology and Borders in the Balkans
Language: English

This lecture will examine the deployment (and ignoring) of dialect features in the drawing of national and linguistic borders as well as their use (or lack hereof) in linguistic and ethnonational claims. 
The lecture will also discuss the problem of overlapping languages and multilingualism for the nationalist project of dialect atlases (as well as how dialect atlases are both linguistic and ethnonationalist projects).
My concern will be primarily with the South Slavic and Albanian dialect continua, but Romani and Balkan Romance will also be shown to be of relevance.
