CFP: Communications in a Changing World: Philosophical and Humanitarian Issues

Today there is no need to talk about the urgency of the communication problems. It is extremely important for the Siberian North – the area of active dialogue, interaction, mentalities, cultures and languages.

For the Finno-Ugric peoples, who gave the name to the Yugra, Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okgug, the problems caused by globalization, are even more acute. Native smaller peoples of the North are very concerned about preserving their culture and traditional lifestyle, way of life.
