Name of the organization\/initiative and year of foundation<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h4>\n

The Journal of social criticism \u201cCommons\u201d<\/a> is a Ukrainian left intellectual journal that was founded in 2009.<\/p>\n

Mission<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h4>\n

The Journal’s mission is to analyze and criticize the social system using modern critical social theories. To contribute to and spread the vision of a more politically free and economically egalitarian society.<\/p>\n

Actions and projects in the context of armed conflict<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h4>\n

The Journal editors try to support the coverage of the views of various groups of Ukrainian society about the war and create a safe environment for constructive public discussion of sensitive and controversial topics regarding the war in Donbas.<\/p>\n

In 2019, the Journal launched the annual “Feuerbach 11” conference that brings together researchers and activists to discuss Ukraine’s socio-economic and political issues. On October 31, 2020, the following discussions were held: “The future of Donbas: freezing the conflict or reintegration”, “Memorialization of civilian victims: between dialogue and propaganda”, and “Gender and war: experiences of sexual violence against women in the army.” The conferences addressed the issues of war and its various dimensions – the experience of women who went to the Army, the memory about civilian victims of war, and the prospects for resolving the conflict.<\/p>\n

The Journal publishes articles that analyze current issues related to the consequences and different perceptions of the armed conflict in Donbas<\/a>. An example of such publications is a study by Taras Bilous on memorialization practices in respect to civilian victims of the conflict<\/a> who died in different locations in eastern Ukraine. The articles were prepared in the framework of the project “Memory guides: information resources for the peaceful conflict transformation”, carried out by the Center for Independent Social Research – CISR e.V. Berlin. As a part of this project, the Journal published an interview with Nina Potarska<\/a> about inclusive peace and opportunities for dialogue between people on both sides of the contact line.<\/p>\n

In addition to the website publications, the Journal “Commons” was published in a “thick magazine” format. Thematic issues dealt with certain socio-economic problems and current political processes. In 2015, the ninth issue was published that presented various positions to the analysis of the Maidan phenomenon. In 2016, the tenth issue – “War and Nationalism”<\/a> was published where the authors analyzed the concepts of war and nationalism, the consequences of the armed conflict in Donbas for Ukraine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
