Aims of the Conference
The theme of the 2019 conference was crafted several years ago with our regretted colleague
and distinguished academic Leonidas Donskis. In the meanwhile, conformism seems to have
pervaded even larger categories of public in East-Central Europe and beyond and new “illiberal
democracies” and illiberal parties evolved. A composite of authoritarian leader and godfather have
taken the reins of power in the area or are looking for opportunities to do so. Populist parties and
movements are on the rise. Resurgent nationalisms are again offered as a substitute to solutions.
The refugee crisis lingers on and no common decisions have been adopted within the EU to solve it
on the basis of the European values. The EU institutions are in need of reform and decisions on the
course of the organization and its future enlargement process are still pending.
The conference aims at analyzing two often interrelated phenomena: dissent and
conformism. Already from the Ancient Greek and Roman civilizations, which we cherish on the
shores of Black Sea, dissent and conformism acted as a key factor in structuring the institutions
and shaping the people’s attitudes. Dissenting from the underlying Athenian social values led
Socrates to death by hemlock poison, while conforming to Roman values turned many foreigners
and strangers into citizens and defenders of the Roman Empire. The Christians had initially been
ostracized and martyred despite their obedience and allegiance to the political institutions of the
Roman Empire. However, their revolutionary religion and devotedness to a single God unleashed
against them the hatred of the patrons of the Roman symbolic manipulation of power, especially of
the emperors and polytheistic priests. Eventually, the monotheistic Christian or Muslim religions
would be not less harsh with the non-believers and dissidents. Conformism seems to have been the
norm of any political system and at the same time the cause of its decay. In the aftermath of the
Napoleonic Wars nationalism and eventually modern political ideologies became the main
competitors for power and control in Europe. Nationalisms unleashed the forces of destruction
during the world wars while the clash of ideologies set off ahead of the French Revolution shaped
the destiny of Europe during the 20th century. Dictatorships and even more so totalitarian regimes
required unwavering conformism and full devotedness from their subjects, while encouraging
dissent in the competing camp.
Conformism has shown many faces from the Antiquity to Contemporary Age, from pretense
to obedience, and an individual person could easily happen to migrate between the two extremes
during his/her lifetime. Sometimes, as many dystopian novels reveal, the conformist grows into
dissident and even becomes a major target of his former patrons. Conversely, former dissidents can
return to loyalty and often the prize to be paid is betrayal of former affined spirits. The archives of
Scandinavian, Baltic and Black Sea regions preserve numerous documents of such instances.
Conformism can also take the form of what Zygmunt Bauman and Leonidas Donskis called
“liquid modernity”, the situation of an individual who flows from one attitude to another, from one
perspective to the other, from one set of values to an opposing one:
The liquid modern variety of adiaphorization is cut after the pattern of the consumer–
commodity relation, and its effectiveness relies on the transplantation of that pattern to
interhuman relations. As consumers, we do not swear interminable loyalty to the commodity we
seek and purchase in order to satisfy our needs or desires, and we continue to use its services as
long as but no longer than it delivers on our expectations - or until we come across another
commodity that promises to gratify the same desires more thoroughly than the one we
purchased before. All consumer goods, including those described as ‘durable’, are eminently
exchangeable and expendable; in consumerist – that is consumption inspired and consumption
servicing – culture, the time between purchase and disposal tends to shrink to the degree to
which the delights derived from the objects of consumption shift from their use to their
appropriation.
Zygmunt Bauman, and Leonidas Donskis, Moral Blindness: The Loss of Sensitivity in
Liquid Modernity (Cambridge, Massachussetts: Polity, 2013), p. 15.

Dissidence also embraces a great spectre of attitudes from simple acts of disloyalty to open
resistance as it happened in Norway or Denmark during World War II, in Lithuania, Latvia,
Estonia, Poland and the Black Sea region during the dictatorial, totalitarian and occupational
regimes, etc. Again, the boundary between these extremes is narrow and simple disloyalty can grow
into acts of armed resistance. The archives in the region are filled with documents regarding
dissident movements, samizdat literature and transborder cooperation of dissidents, which can
offer fresh empirical, methodological and conceptual perspectives to this issue.
The conference welcomed proposals from a variety of angles and disciplines, i.e. history,
literature, cultural studies, political sciences, philosophy, social sciences, semiotics, European
studies, etc.
The call of papers for this conference sought to encourage papers and debates on
perspectives such as: dissidents and conformists during totalitarianisms and dictatorships;
dissenting views in Nordic, Baltic and Black Sea region literatures; utopias and dystopias in Nordic,
Baltic and Black Sea region literatures; enemy at the gate: dissent and conformism during the two
world wars; conforming to or resenting the Nordic values; rethinking conformism in the Nordic
societies; 21st century dissenters in the Black Sea area; Europeanists and nationalists: a remodeling
of dissent and conformism; ideologies without ideals: on moral blindness and apathy; education
reforms in the Nordic, Baltic and Black Sea countries and cognitive autonomy and Nordic, Baltic
and Nordic-Baltic cultural cooperation.

Main Organizers
The Romanian Association for Baltic and Nordic Studies
(Asociaţia Română pentru Studii Baltice şi Nordice/ARSBN) is the leading Romanian
organization involved in the advancement of Scandinavian studies in Romania. ARSBN organizes,
starting with 2010, a yearly international conference of Baltic and Nordic Studies, publishes the bi-
annual peer-reviewed Journal for Baltic and Nordic Studies, edits monographs, volumes of
documents, translates Scandinavian and Baltic authors into Romanian, coordinates the Summer
School of Nordic and Baltic Studies in Romania. It also organizes various events, exhibitions,
conferences, meetings and book presentations with subjects related to Nordic area studies. It offers
grants and prizes in order to encourage the development of Scandinavian research in Romania. It
has also set up a small library of Baltic and Nordic studies which is continuously enhanced and
updated. Thus, ARSBN has an extensive web of partners within research institutions and
universities in Scandinavia and around the Baltic Sea area, which it seeks to develop by networking
and engaging in common ventures. The Romanian Association for Baltic and Nordic Studies has
already achieved a large number of research and educative projects in the field of Scandinavian and
Baltic Studies. ARSBN has so far organized with its partners nine editions of the Annual
International Conference of Nordic and Baltic Studies (2010-2018):
It has also organized three sessions of the Nordic and Baltic Summer School whereby 50 students
from Romania and Republic of Moldova have been taught Scandinavian, Finnic, and Baltic
languages, history, culture, the last two sessions being funded from the EEA Grants
- https://balticnordic.hypotheses.org/summerschool2
ARSBN has been successful in achieving finance for projects dealing with Romania’s relations with
Nordic and Baltic countries and has the most valuable expertise in this field. The results of its
researches have been twice chosen as the Book of the Month by the Romanian Foreign Ministry
and once by the Latvian Foreign Ministry:

- http://www.mae.ro/node/17530
- http://www.mfa.gov.lv/en/news/press-releases/2013/may/31-1/
Accomplished research projects in this respect are the volumes dedicated to the Romanian-
Lithuanian relations, Romanian-Latvian relations, the histories of Finland, Lithuania and Latvia,
the diaries of Marshal Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim and General Titus Gârbea, etc.
ARSBN has also organized a large number of conferences, seminars and exhibitions dedicated to
Romania’s relations with Nordic and Baltic nations and cultures. For instance, it is highly relevant
7
that ARSBN has cooperated in the celebration of the playwright Henrik Ibsen, the painter Edvard
Munch and has organized a Norwegian Culture and History Week.
Furthermore, the ARSBN has been a partner in a project designed by the Romanian Embassy in
Oslo to mark the 50th anniversary of the opening of diplomatic relations between Romania and
Norway at the embassy level.
Faculty of History and Political Sciences of Ovidius University of Constanța, Romania
Ovidius University of Constanţa (OUC) is a multidisciplinary public institution of higher education,
institutionally accredited and having been awarded the High Level of Trust, by the Romanian
Agency for Quality Assurance in Higher Education.
The University bears the name of the Roman poet Publius Ovidius Naso, who lived the last years of
his life in Tomis, a former Greek colony that later became the city of Constanţa.
The mission of the university is to promote the creation and dissemination of knowledge through
education, scientific research and artistic creation at European level standards of performance. The
university is an institution in the service of the regional community and it also has a profound
international impact in the Black Sea area and beyond.
Organized on the principles of university autonomy, academic freedom, ethics, fairness and
transparency, Ovidius University aspires to become a center of culture and creation, open to a
dynamic world, characterized by ethnic and religious diversity.
Some of the values that guide the university are inspired by the life and works of Ovid, who
showed creative freedom and the desire to leave a permanent and unique trace, capable of
enduring the passage of time.
Ovidius University of Constanţa aspires to be recognized as the European University of the Black
Sea. In this context, the university has been conducting an intense activity of establishing bilateral
partnerships, showing an active involvement in the regional university networks. OUC is a
founding member and holds the General Secretariat of the Black Sea Universities Network (BSUN)
and is a member of the European Universities Association (EUA), etc.
The International Relations Office deals with the development of international partnerships in
education and research, the preparation and implementation of joint programs or joint degrees and
aims at making study programs compatible with those in other universities.
The Community Program Office has facilitated an increase of academic and student exchanges, an
aspect which has been constantly developed at Ovidius University of Constanţa and, at present, the
institution has concluded more than 400 agreements for various partnerships involving mobilities
and scientific cooperation, academics, guests and visiting scholars’ mobilities.
The Foreign Students Department is in charge of recruitment, admission and completion of
documents, offers assistance in solving various social or health problems faced by the international
students and the grantees of the Romanian state.
Faculty of History and Political Sciences develops through its programs the general mission of the
university and is involved in numerous research and educational programs.
Faculty of History and Political Sciences co-organized the Fourth Conference on Baltic and Nordic
Studies in Romania in May 2013 and the Sixth Conference on Baltic and Nordic Studies in
Romania in May 2015.

The conference continues and develops a project that the Romanian Association for Baltic and
Nordic Studies (ARSBN) initiated in 2010, aiming at investigating, comparing and describing the
relations, encounters, intersections, confluences, mutual influences and/or parallels between the
Nordic and Baltic Sea areas, on the one hand, and the Black Sea Region, on the other hand. The
project was structured in annual international conferences. Thus, the first conference, entitled
“Romania and Lithuania in the interwar international relations: bonds, intersections and
encounters” was held on 19-21 May 2010 in Târgoviște and concentrated, as the title suggests, on
the present and historical relations between the two countries belonging to these two areas. The
following editions of the annual ARSBN conference enlarged their scope, being entitled “The Black
Sea and the Baltic Sea regions: confluences, influences and crosscurrents in the modern and
contemporary ages” (Târgoviște, 20-22 May 2011), “European networks: the Balkans, Scandinavia
and the Baltic World in a time of economic and ideological crisis” (Târgoviște, 25-27 May 2012),
“Empire-building and region-building in the Baltic, North and Black Sea areas” (Constanța, 24-26
May 2013), “A piece of culture, a culture of peace, re-imaging European communities in the North
Sea, Baltic Sea and Black Sea regions” (Târgoviște, 17-19 August 2014), “Historical memory, the
politics of memory and cultural identity: Romania, Scandinavia and Baltic Sea Region in
comparison” (Constanța, 22-23 May 2015), “Good governance in Romania and the Nordic and
Baltic countries” (Bucharest, 24 November 2016), “Finland, Romania, Roma integration - Learning
from each other” (Bucharest, 9 October 2017) and “100 Years since Modern Independence and
Unification in the Baltic Sea Region and East-Central Europe” (Târgoviște, 15-16 November 2018).
During its previous nine editions, the ARSBN conference addressed fundamental problems within
the current agenda of the Nordic, Baltic and Black sea states and contributed with fresh ideas and
innovative research results to the general knowledge in the scientific field. Moreover, the
conference advanced draft proposals useful to the European decision-makers of different fields.
While the participants to the first two editions of the conference concentrated rather on the
historical dimension of the relations, the following editions brought together specialists from
various fields (political science, economics, international relations, minority studies, cultural
studies, mnemonic studies, etc.) and addressed, besides the historical aspect of relations, other
aspects relevant to the present time, i.e. the global economic crisis, the Balkan organized crime in
Nordic Europe, region-building processes, the minorities in the Baltic Sea area and in the Balkans,
the Roma minority integration, the remembrance of 1918, etc.
