In 1968, after several years of debates and actions across Europe and around the world, a new global generation was asserting its ideas, its passions, its interests, its fantasies, its utopias. To discuss all the above and more, an interdisciplinary colloquium is convened on the Royal Estate of Sinaia, under the auspices of the Royal Family of Romania.<\/p>\n

Related international conferences at the same location include\u00a0Humanism and Utopianism. Historical and Critical Perspectives<\/em>\u00a0(June 13-15, 2014) and, in the same series of Royal Colloquia,\u00a0Utopia and Revolution<\/em>\u00a0(June 22-25, 2017; the videos of the colloquium are posted on YouTube at\u00a0https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Tt6NQ33WxP0&list=PLhpuENTaWXvugT9ukIHBM9byuTZp1Oymo<\/a>).

The Cantemir Annual Award continues the Cantemir Prize, established in 2010 as part of the activities leading to and becoming the Cantemir Institute at the University of Oxford (2011-2013). The Cantemir Prize was handed during annual conferences at the University of Oxford by HRH Prince Radu of Romania, the High Patron of the Cantemir Institute, to \u0218tefan Lemny (2010), Alison Ashford and Philippa Levine (2011), Martin Dodge, Chris Perkins, and Rob Kitchin (2012). In 2017, the recipient of the Cantemir Annual Award was Moshe Idel.<\/p>\n

The Cantemir Annual Award celebrates the legacy of two enlightened princes of Romanian background: Demetrius Cantemir (1673-1723) and his son Antiochus (1709-1744).\u00a0\u00a0Their writings, actions, and visions encompass vast spaces, different periods, and various cultures, both Eastern and Western. Demetrius was a ruling prince of Moldavia educated in Constantinople, a member of the Berlin Academy, a prince of the Russian Empire and an adviser to Peter the Great, while Antiochus was a translator, Russia\u2019s first modern poet and first ambassador to Great Britain and France. They were cosmopolitan humanists who, while rooted in particular societies, traditions, and worldviews, transcended borders of many sorts, aspiring to intercultural knowledge and universal horizons.<\/p>\n
