Statement by Lithuanian Higher Education Institutions

February 25, 2022

The Lithuanian University Rectors’ Conference vehemently condemns the military actions of the Russian Federation against the independent state of Ukraine. Lithuanian universities are in solidarity with Ukrainian universities, their staff, teachers, students, and the entire Ukrainian nation.
We are ready to use all available resources to help Ukrainian universities in these challenging times. We will also help Ukrainians who come to seek asylum in Lithuania by giving them the opportunity to continue their studies or research or to settle in Lithuania for a shorter or longer period.
These events again demonstrate the importance of fostering an educated, democratic, and critical society. Our shared responsibility is to work together to develop a young generation that loves the country and is ready to defend it.
Universities are one of the most important institutions in helping a country create a strong social fabric. The solidarity and shared tradition of universities unite all those who believe in European values, democracy, freedom of speech, and freedom of thought at such times.

Its principal aim is to examine the understanding of the phenomenon of popular culture and the nature of its perception as they are relevant in the Lithuanian context, thereby establishing a theoretical foundation for the further analysis of the field of popular culture, which is intended to be presented in the subsequent volumes of the series. The overall objective of the monograph series is to chart the field of popular culture in Lithuania and to survey its current situation, assessing both its historical development and possible prospects for future research. The first volume presents theoretical discussions outlining the concept of popular culture as a phenomenon, its philosophical, aesthetic, and industrial characteristics, and its history of emergence. These discussions are grounded in the traditional conception of popular culture as standing in opposition to serious or high culture. Taken together, the contributions may be broadly described as belonging to a field of academic research oriented toward the theoretical reflection on popular culture. The volume is intended for researchers and students in the field of cultural studies, as well as for all those interested in processes within the cultural sphere. eBook edition >>> * VILNIUS TECH extends complimentary access to its entire library of e-books to members within the university community.
