<p>Untitled: What's in a Name? </p>

<p>Student Session </p>

<p>Association of Art Historians Annual Conference </p>

<p>University of Glasgow 15-17th April 2010 </p>

<p>Call for Papers  </p>

<p>As art historians, critics, and researchers we are surrounded by titles, names, and classifications. Names secure and give substance to our critical operations; but names can also constrain investigation if one relies on given solutions without reassessing historical objects and methods.   </p>

<p>But what happens when the title is questionable, anachronistic, or purposely absented? From collaborative works that lack designated authors to the untitled work, the enquiring viewer is prematurely left alone to fill in the blanks ¨C a productive insecurity in the face of that which cannot be named, grasped, or conveyed that leaks into, and has an impact upon, the doing and teaching of art and its histories. We would like to invite papers on naming as a activity shared by art historians, critics, curators, and artists; thereby also addressing questions of authority, validity, critique, and resistance that become integral to the act of giving ¨C or retracting ¨C titles. Possible areas of enquiry can include: measuring the name: navigating classification and reconfiguring value; the untitled work as a site of frustration, opportunity, and challenge; the function of names and classifications in reception, historiography, and methodology; legitimising nomenclature: claiming and re©\claiming the utility of art and history; and choosing names and choosing sides: the vocabulary of cross©\disciplinary studies. </p>]]>
<![CDATA[<p>With this session, we hope to open up a space for critical reflection on the work of art history, wherein the validity and function of the name/title must be constantly kept in check, while navigating research through identification and classification that we see ourselves reconfiguring.   </p>

<p>If you would like to offer a paper, please contact the session convenor directly (Catriona McAra <a href="mailto:c.mcara.1@research.gla.ac.uk">c.mcara.1@research.gla.ac.uk</a>) providing an abstract of your proposed paper in no more than 250 words, your name and institutional affiliation (if any) by <strong>9th November 2009</strong>. </p>

<![CDATA[<p><strong>Deadline: October 11, 2009</strong></p>

<p>Annual meeting<br />
Association of American Geographers<br />
Washington DC<br />
April 14-18 2010 </p>

<p>CFP:  <br />
How do basic concepts shift in neoliberal projects? Evidence from the post-socialist world and beyond</p>

<p>The neoliberal experiment across the globe has involved the dissemination of knowledge about rational ‘best practices,’ geared towards the promotion of efficient market economies, seen as deeply intertwined with liberal democratic polities. In doing so, international financial institutions, academics, and the media have promoted not only concrete policies, but also specific languages and set of meanings that, albeit vague, support the rationale of neoliberal projects. Generally accepted by elites worldwide (and contested by their opponents), those concepts are also constantly reworked when they meet diverse and locally specific sets of meaning and institutional frameworks.</p>]]>
<![CDATA[<p>For example, Central Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet Union are areas where the symbolic component of the neoliberal project has been particularly evident, because of the transformation from communism to capitalism. Such transformation entailed the production – and from the Western standpoint, also the transfer – of a whole set of values, institutions, and forms of governance. However, when exported into the region via the embodiment in concrete policies, local elites used ‘Western’ modernizing (neoliberal) concepts in ways that the “Western” concept-makers did not even anticipate.  Basic concepts such as ‘democracy’ and ‘capitalism’ in some cases assumed new meanings. Institutional and symbolic legacies from the past(s) (communist, and in some cases pre-communist) produced unexpected results when they met with the ‘Western’ version of supposedly neutral concepts. </p>

<p>For example, officials in Brussels considered the idea of having quotas for women and minorities in government an obvious democratic practice. Instead, it met opposition in post-communist states, because many East Europeans considered it a “communist” practice, with all its negative connotations. The geographical literature has just begun to analyze such conceptual shifts from ‘West’ to ‘East.’ Eastern European elites use Western rhetoric and mannerisms as tools to attract foreign aid (Kuus 2004, 2008); the very idea of ‘social networks’ assume a different structure in Georgia (Mitchneck and Pickles, in preparation) In Bulgaria, the government actively shifted the concept of ‘regionalism’ (Hirt 2007), ‘civil society’ (Caedmon and Cellarius 2002), and ‘clusters’ (Sellar et al. forthcoming) from the meaning devised in Brussels.</p>

<p>This session invites opinion pieces aimed at discussing how shifts in fundamental concepts may be affecting the social, political, and economic dynamics of ‘modernizing’ (neoliberal) projects in post socialist Europe and the Former Soviet Union. We encourage submissions concerning ideas sucha as ‘state,’ ‘democracy,’ ‘economy,’ ‘market,’ ‘public spaces,’ ‘region,’ and ‘corruption.’ We would like to keep the session as broad as possible, open to contributions from a wide range of regions in the postsocialist world and beyond. What kinds of shifts in meaning did you encounter in your research? What kind of new concepts emerged when pre-existing understandings met the values/meanings taken for granted by ‘Western’ modernizers? How did these differences/encounters reflect in specific policies? How did they impact on the structure and findings of your research? How did they impact on and inform your relationships with colleagues from the region? How could theory help us to understand those conceptual shifts in a broader sense?</p>

<p>Abstracts should be sent to the session conveners by Sunday, October 11<br />
Convenors:<br />
Craig Young (Manchester Metropolitan University, UK) <br />
Christian Sellar (University of Mississippi) <br />
Sonia Hirt (Virginia Tech) </p>

<![CDATA[<p><strong>Deadline: November 15,2009</strong></p>

<p>7th Biennial MESEA Conference<br />
The Society for Multi-Ethnic Studies: Europe and the Americas<br />
Travel, Trade and Ethnic Transformations <br />
16-20 June 2010<br />
University of Pécs, Hungary</p>

<p>Call for Papers </p>

<p>Travel, movement and mobility are essential in human life: they shape individualities, histories and the stories people tell. In particular, labor, commerce, exile, tourism, transnational and transcontinental migrations have led to the socio-political and cultural production of dominant images of subjectivities and nationhoods. People's identification with "imagined communities" and their experience with "encountered ones" has determined ethnicity's and diaspora's infinitely variable socio-political and cultural content. However, neither panethnicity nor transmigrant/postcolonial hybridity can resolve the crisis of a liberal commodified polity. Ideologies of difference and subjectivity need to be critically regrounded in the realities of global capitalism, political economy and the changing structures of institutional and disciplinary power. This conference, then, aims to focus on the ways that travel and trade contribute to the definition and redefinition of ethnic subjectivities in the realms of culture, politics, history, and sociology, economics and law, language, literature and the arts in Europe and the Americas. </p>]]>
<![CDATA[<p>Proposals can be submitted to our website between <strong>August 15</strong> and <strong>November 15, 2009</strong>. Submitters will receive notification of acceptance or rejections by <strong>December 15, 2009</strong>.</p>

<p>Inter/transnational and inter/transdisciplinary proposals as well as complete panels will be given preference.</p>

<p>The Association for the Study of Ethnicity and Nationalism (ASEN) is holding its 20th Anniversary Conference entitled "Nation and Charisma", on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, 13 - 15 April 2010 at the London School of Economics and Political Science.</p>

<p>Must nations have 'founding fathers', and nationalist movements charismatic leaders? Does nationalism differ in this respect from any other mass movement? If nationalism is a species of secular religion, is it also therefore a cult of the hero or heroine? How important is leadership for the national cause, and what are its effects for good or ill? These are some of the questions which the ASEN's 20th Anniversary Conference seeks to address.</p>

<p>The conference will include keynote addresses from leading scholars in the field, along with opportunities for scholars from various disciplines to examine the relationship between nationalism and charisma in a series of panel sessions. Suggested themes include:<br />
Charismatic Authority and Oratory<br />
Charisma, Cultural Nationalism and the Arts<br />
Religious Charisma and Secular Nationalism<br />
Iconography and Personality Cults<br />
Popular Mobilisation vs. Elite Manipulation<br />
Charismatic Leadership from Above and Grass-root Movements from Below<br />
Political Transformation of Charisma</p>

<p>The 2010 Conference Committee is now calling for papers to be presented at the conference. The application is open to any researcher who is interested in the study of nationalism, and PhD students and young scholars are particularly encouraged to apply. The abstracts of the proposed papers should not exceed 500 words and are expected by Friday, 6 November 2009.</p>

<p>Suggestions for panels and additional themes are also welcome. The Committee will notify applicants with its decision in December 2009.</p>

<p>Papers submitted to the conference will be considered for publication in a special issue of Studies in Ethnicity and Nationalism (SEN). <br />
Please note that ASEN cannot cover travel and accommodation costs.</p>

<p>Presenters are expected to register for the conference. </p>

<![CDATA[<p><strong>Deadline: October 15, 2009</strong></p>

<p>Call for Proposals<br />
The Socialist 1960s: Popular Culture and the Socialist City in Global  Perspective</p>

<p>2010 Fisher Forum, Russian, East European, and Eurasian Center <br />
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign<br />
June 24-26, 2010</p>

<p>The 1960s witnessed an explosion of cross-cultural fertilization in a time of world competition for the hegemony of two enduring "systems" - <br />
capitalism and socialism. As a moment when decolonization created immense possibilities for liberation movements throughout the world, the 1960s became the heyday of the "Second World" appeals to the newly decolonized societies of the "Third World," as well as the reemergence of a European "First World" as a postwar consumer society in reaction to American hegemony.  This was the moment when the "orderedness" of the three worlds was arguably the most prominent in popular discourse and culture, and a moment when that order was contested and destabilized.  The patterns that first emerged in the 1960s - cultural contest, political mobility, urbanization and the rise of urban youth movements, women's rights, the hegemony of popular over "high" culture driven by technology - form the bases of today's discussions of globalization, its challenges, dangers, and contestation.</p>]]>
<![CDATA[<p>The purpose of this conference will be to use the Second World, the socialist societies of the 1960s, as the center from which to explore global interconnections and uncover new and perhaps surprising patterns of cultural cross-pollination. This forum will be structured around cities as the units of analysis, and it will focus on the arena of popular culture as played out in these city spaces.   More specifically, we invite paper proposals that focus on one of three realms of  urban popular culture - media (including cinema, television, popular music); material culture (including spaces and <br />
their uses as well as commodities), and leisure (including tourism and other activities).  We consider these exemplary of the circulation of objects, images, sounds, and impressions on a level different from political programs, literature and "fine arts." Several thematic threads will tie together this consideration of the circulation of popular culture around and through the Second world: mobility and cultural transmission; youth cultures and student movements; gender; consumerism and hedonism; the state and cultural exchange; technology and cultural dissemination; cosmopolitan political mobilization.  Our aims will be to consider what the "1960s" meant in socialist countries, and to discuss the balance in the 1960s between cultural global integration and continuing political differentiation.</p>

<p>The core of the forum will be the socialist societies of eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, but the forum would be enriched by participation from scholars who study other socialist societies.   We anticipate that the conference will result in a published volume: submissions should be original work, not previously published.</p>

<p>The conference organizers are Diane P. Koenker, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (<a href="mailto:dkoenker@illinois.edu">dkoenker@illinois.edu</a>) and Anne E. Gorsuch, University of British Columbia (<a href="mailto:gorsuch@interchange.ubc.ca">gorsuch@interchange.ubc.ca</a>). We welcome advance inquiries..</p>

<p>Please send proposed paper title and abstracts to each of the organizers by <strong>October 15, 2009</strong>.  Proposals should indicate which of the conference themes the paper addresses, and the term "Sixties" or "1960s" should be explicit in the paper title. Selection of participants will be made by November 30, 2009, and conference papers should be submitted by <strong>April 1, 2010</strong>.</p>

<p>The Ralph and Ruth Fisher Forum is held in conjunction with the Summer Research Laboratory on Russia, Eastern Europe, and Eurasia. The conference is made possible by Mary and Hal Zirin's generous gift to the Ralph and Ruth Fisher Endowment Fund in honor of Professor Ralph Fisher and his wife Ruth. Ralph Fisher is Professor Emeritus of History at the University of Illinois and founder of the Russian, East European, and Eurasian Center and the Summer Research Lab.</p>
