Georgian-Western Literary Relations

Georgian-Western Literary Relations THE GEORGIAN-WESTERN LITERARY RELATIONS PROGRAM wishes to inaugurate a serious conversation about the place of Georgian literature in a global context.

Georgian humanities and literary studies have yet to be addressed appropriately in Western universities. The GWLRPโ€™s first goal is to address the lack of Georgian texts in Western academic libraries in order to lead the way forward in developing a greater awareness of Georgian culture. In todayโ€™s rapidly globalizing world, the Georgian diaspora is expanding in the West, and the number of students

and scholars in American and other Western universities who are conversant with Georgian is increasing. More than ever, for the advancement of Georgian studies, it is crucially important to make both Georgian scholarly and literary materials accessible to researchers and readers around the world.

Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies at Harvard University - Book Talk: Georgia, 1918-1921, The World's First Social Democratic State?

"Stephen Jones explains in his new book the paradox most European socialists of the time could not understand. Georgia was the first social democratic state in Europe (in contrast to social democratic coalitions in Sweden, Belgium and elsewhere) in an impoverished corner of the Russian empire where 90% of the population was peasant. The republic embodied an anti-colonial movement, but it was adamantly pro-Western, defiantly liberal and pluralist, an advocate of a mixed economy, and a herald of a new form of people's democracy. But did it work? The book asks questions about how the great ideologies of the twentieth century such as nationalism, socialism and liberalism both clashed and fused in this small country to establish something no one was expecting, a social democratic state on the periphery of Europe."

"- ETH researchers present a living material consisting of a hydrogel and cyanobacteria embedded in it.

- The photosynthetic bacteria extract CO2 from the atmosphere and convert it into biomass and carbonate-containing minerals.

- The 3D-printable building material is intended to help reduce the carbon footprint of buildings and infrastructure in the future.

- At the Venice Biennale and the Triennale in Milan, two exhibits explore how the living material could be used in architecture." -

Via ETH Zรผrich

Researchers are developing a living material that actively extracts carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Photosynthetic cyanobacteria grow inside it, forming biomass and solid minerals and thus binding CO2 in two different manners.
