CfP Journal: 'The "New" Central Asia: The Regional Impact of International Actors'
Call for chapters: 'The "New" Central Asia: The Regional Impact of International Actors'.
The editor of a volume on 'The "New" Central Asia: The Regional Impact of International Actors' announces a call for chapter submission from interested international relations scholars. The projected volume is both about the place of Central Asia in world affairs and the way the international politics of state-building and regionalization have affected Central Asia since the end of the Cold War. Therefore, this volume pursues the twin-aims of simultaneously generalizing and contextualizing the "Central Asian experience" as well as re-thinking and re-evaluating its comparative relevance to the study of both other regions and international politics. In this respect, the prospective submissions would assess the agency of different international actors in Central Asia and their impact on the dynamics of state-building and regionalization. At the same time, the contributions would make analytically and empirically grounded propositions on the possible trajectories of Central Asian state-building and regionalization, and the possible patterns/transformations in the agency of external actors in the region. In this way, the volume addresses the need to systematize the knowledge produced on Central Asia since the end of the Cold War.

Call for Papers: "The Unbearable Charm of Frailty. Philosophizing in/on Eastern Europe."
A Special Issue of "ANGELAKI - The Journal of the Theoretical Humanities"
http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/routledge/0969725x.html
Deadline for submissions: May 1, 2009
The special issue we are proposing addresses precisely this situation in an attempt to bridge this gap of intellectual communication between Eastern and Western Europe. Its plan is to map out the complex intellectual landscape, the major intellectual debates and their historical origins, as well as the current marketplace of philosophical ideas in the countries of the Eastern Europe. This issue aims at offering insights into the recent (or not so recent) history of "the East-European mind" and its many facets, as well as into what takes place philosophically right now in these places. It also seeks to point to the specific contributions that East-European thinkers might have to the shaping of a new, more comprehensive European intellectual project.

CONF./CFP- Institutions, Institutional Change, and Economic Performance in Central Asia, 09/25-26/2008, Goettingen
Institutions, Institutional Change, and Economic Performance in Central Asia
Conference in Goettingen, Germany, September 25-26, 2008
Organized by the Private University of Applied Sciences Goettingen, Germany, and the University of Groningen, The Netherlands
Chairmen: Prof. Dr. Joachim Ahrens and Prof. dr. Herman W. Hoen
The countries of Central Asia are increasingly the focus of intense international attention because of their geopolitical and economic importance as well as their unsettled transition processes. The region faced enormous challenges when the Soviet Union disintegrated. Overall, it has made rudimentary progress in opening up to the international community, creating market institutions, and building more inclusive, democratic political processes. Daunting challenges remain - reflected in the regions relatively low economic and human development indicators. In particular, reforms of the institutional environment have been largely neglected. It is evident that the lack of effective institution building as well as rule enforcement in the economic and political realms represents one of the key weaknesses and drawbacks of transition. Hence, crafting adequate market institutions will be of utmost importance in the years ahead.

“Georgia: The Making of a National Culture.” 1636 SSWB/International Institute, 1080 S. University Ave.
From ancient to modern times Georgians have lived under both the threat and the influence of neighboring states and cultures. They have evolved from pagan to Christian societies, independent kingdoms and principalities, to maintaining their distinctiveness under the rule of Persians, Turks, and Russians. They have lived with Christian and Muslim neighbors, experienced the rule of tsarist and Soviet overlords, and today are building an independent republic itself damaged by ethnic conflict. This conference will explore the ways in which Georgians have developed their own culture and notion of nation, particularly in the last two centuries, their relations with their Armenian, Azerbaijani, Russian, and other neighbors, and the acquired resources with which they may forge a post-Soviet national community. Conference sessions are open to the public.

After more than a decade of transition from a planned to market-based economy, Armenia undertook important reforms and experienced high rates of economic growth in recent years. In order to sustain this growth and ensure further economic development, the country will need to design and implement second-generation reforms based on lessons learned during this transition and aimed at: (i) solidifying the achievements of the transition period; (ii) ensuring a fair and level playing field for private sector development; (iii) choosing strategic directions for the country's export-oriented branches of the economy; and (iv) laying foundations for future development by strengthening institutions and modernizing social sectors, especially public education.

We are looking for papers exploring the involvement of Jewish intellectuals with Cold War issues for a series of panels to be held at the 2009 World Congress of Jewish studies in Jerusalem. Though almost twenty years have passed since the end of the Cold War, surprisingly few attempts have been made to analyze comprehensively Jewish Cold War agency and the global conflict's influence on Jewish life and narratives. Focusing on the role of the intellectual, the planned panels will address both the Cold Wardimensions of Jewish history and historiography, and the Jewish dimensions of Cold War ideology, culture, and narratives. We welcome proposals on journalists, academics, artists and writers on both sides of the Cold War. Although the panels will address mainly intellectual experiences, we would also welcome papers examining the social and cultural dimensions of Jewish history as connected to the Cold War.

Transformation in Central and Eastern Europe introduces additional factors. It stimulates new life styles, and changes the hierarchy of values, institutional patterns of modus operandi and personal answers to the most intimate and ultimate questions.

CfP: Screened Sexuality: Desire in Russian, Soviet, and Post-Soviet Cinema, 10/10-11/2008, Columbia U
Society of Fellows in the Humanities, Harriman Institute, Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures
Columbia University, October 10-11, 2008
The close association between cinema and sexual desire has been established since the inception of cinematography. Set at the juncture of secrecy and exhibitionism, cinema provides a powerful medium for both the orchestration of spectatorial desire and reflection on human sexuality, which, at least since the works of Christian Metz and The Screen theorists, have become a subject of sustained scholarly analysis. Studies of individual film genres have shed light on the staging of sexual desire in topoi ranging from thriller plots to melodramatic mise-en-scene, while, starting with the works of Linda Williams, the study of the cinematic representation of the sexual act has also become firmly entrenched in cinema studies.

CfP: Virtual Power: Russian Politics and the Internet (Russian Cyberspace)
Is the Internet in Russia a political factor of 'real' significance? Or do the countless websites, journals and blogs simulate rather than stimulate political activity and decision making? The objective of this special issue is to examine the relationship between Russian politics and new media, especially the Internet. Russian Cyberspace seeks contributions that explore this complex relationship in a historical perspective, reflect on the representation of major political events of 2007-08 on the web, examine the discourse of power from the aesthetic point of view, investigate the role of grassroots media in voicing independent views and the reaction of the state to the developments in Russian cyberspace.

Study Abroad: Balkans: State Building and Human Rights in the South Balkans
Witness the emergence of new states in the south Balkans and the challenges they confront, especially in ensuring minority human rights. In Montenegro, an independent state since 2006, meet government officials building their new country and citizen groups playing a watchdog role against corruption and for Muslim and Roma rights. In Kosovo, a UN supervised territory since 1999, hear debates on future status, institution-building, and how to ensure human rights for Serb, Roma and other minorities. In Macedonia, examine power-sharing between majority Macedonian Slavs and minority ethnic Albanians, as well as efforts to integrate the largest settled Roma community in Europe. Throughout the South Balkans, the impact of international involvement will be considered, particularly UN peacekeeping, NATO humanitarian intervention, development assistance, and possibilities of European Union accession. Emphasis is placed on the concept of reciprocity through a community action project in the Roma community in Skopje, Macedonia.

Anthropology of East Europe Review, special issue, spring 2009

In this collection of articles we aim to present case studies of qualitative ethnographic research in a variety of cities in central, east and south-east Europe on the theme of (diverse) cultural practices and their spatial manifestation in the city, which we define here as urban culture (cf. Hannerz 1993 and 2000, Zukin 1995). The focus is on different perspectives of cultural practices such as ethnicity, lifestyle (post-)subcultures, gender or consumption.

CfP: Urban Jewish Heritage and History in East Central Europe, 10/26-28/08, Lviv
Call for Papers
Conference: Urban Jewish Heritage and History in East Central Europe
The physical and cultural legacies of the Jewish civilization in Central and Eastern Europe
largely destroyed by the Holocaust have long been neglected in post-Holocaust and postwar Eastern and Central Europe. With the end of the Soviet Union and the fundamental liberalization of politics and society, which has accompanied it, however, the region’s Jewish heritage, too, has entered processes of remembering, rediscovery, and reconstruction. In particular with respect to urban space, the regeneration or revitalization of historic Jewish quarters has become one main focus of attention, where several complex and challenging fields of theory and practice overlap: The relationship between the past, memory, and history; questions of reality,authenticity, and virtuality; urban-planning and economic aspects of regeneration. At the same time, these questions of space, its imaginary and practical meanings and uses, need to be contextualized within Jewish history in Eastern and Central Europe in general.

CfP: "Transnational ethnic communities: Croatia, Israel, the Netherlands and Slovenia",Ljubljana, 06/21-22/2008
TITLE: Transnational ethnic communities: the cases of Croatia, Israel, the Netherlands and Slovenia
DATE: 21 – 22 June 2008
SITE: Ljubljana, Slovenia
ORGANIZER: Institute of Ethnic Studies, Ljubljana
TOPICS: In this conference, of special interest to us is the way contemporary nation-states manage the relationship between themselves and the communities they consider their ethnic diaspora. Our primary question therefore is how do the nation-states reciprocate these ideas of belonging, the actions, and the ancestral notion? How do they invent and instigate, ideologically, legally and possibly financially manage, maintain and support the relationships with their diasporic communities?
