ACLS has partnered with the Centre for Advanced Study Sofia (CAS) to create the Summer Institute for the Study of East Central and Southeastern Europe (SISECSE) to enable scholars to undertake local fieldwork and research in Bulgaria and engage in interdisciplinary discussions. In 2023, 2024, and 2025, ACLS and CAS will convene leading scholars from Eastern Europe and North America for a two-week residency, hosted by the American University in Bulgaria (AUBG), in Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria.

With international travel restricted over the past two years due to the pandemic, many scholars have been forced to delay their research. SISECSE will provide participating scholars with two weeks to dedicate to their own research and writing in a collaborative and interdisciplinary setting. Participants will be able to undertake local fieldwork, including archival research, work in museum collections, interviews, site surveys, or other forms of data collection. In addition to conducting their own research, scholars will also have the opportunity to participate in small group writing workshops, as well as a series of immersive discussions on a broad topic of shared academic interest.

The program will cover travel, accommodation, and per diem expenses. Institute members will be expected to be in residence and to participate in all planned events for the duration of the institute. Scholars will also be provided with opportunities to travel locally during this time.

Scholars should apply with their own research proposals through the ACLS online system. Information on how to apply to attend the 2023 Summer Institute will be made available later this summer.

ELIGIBILITY

The competition will be open to scholars in any field or discipline in the humanities and interpretive social sciences pursuing postdoctoral or advanced research in the region (Albania, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Czechia, Croatia, Hungary, Kosovo, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Poland, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Ukraine).

Scholars should be based at institutions in North America (US, Canada, Mexico) or Central/Eastern Europe (see the list above).

ABOUT THE CENTER FOR ADVANCED STUDY SOFIA (CAS)

The Centre for Advanced Study in Sofia is an independent institution with strong international and interdisciplinary orientation, promoting freedom of research and scholarly excellence in the humanities and the social sciences. Since its establishment in 2000, CAS has been attracting young talents and outstanding senior scholars by offering institutional conditions conducive to free pursuit of knowledge and dialogue in the framework of individual research fellowships or collaborative multi-disciplinary and cross-cultural enquiries. In partnership with other Institutes for Advanced Study, universities, scholarly and cultural associations, it works to re-establish the tradition of intellectual communities and to facilitate open critical debate and exchange of ideas on national and trans-national levels.

This program is made possible thanks to a generous donation by Carl and Betty Pforzheimer.

Call for Papers: Transforming State Socialism in East-Central Europe. Historical Sociology of the Long Change. Conference: 30 September – 1 October 2022, University of Warsaw

 

Key-note lectures: Michal Kopeček (Czech Academy of Science),

Joanna Wawrzyniak (University of Warsaw)

This international conference aims to promote and strengthen sociohistorical research on the transformations of state socialism in East-Central Europe (ECE). It will advance the knowledge on the sociogenesis of contemporary societies in East-Central Europe by focusing on the continuities and change. It should also contribute to our understanding of the dynamics of integration with the capitalist world system and how ECE countries place within the structures of global dependencies.

Following this aim, we seek to pursue several questions: what was state socialism in comparison with capitalism? Where did the impulses for changing the socialist system come from? How new research on state socialism change our perception of the regime change of 1989? How to integrate the socialist experience into the framework of global history?

We invite scholars combining historical research with the methods of social sciences to contribute to this conference. We particularly encourage empirical research focusing on long-term processes. We also welcome new theoretical conceptualizations of the evolutions of state socialism and the capitalist transformations. The expected applications may refer, but are not limited, to the questions of:

transformations of social structure, social inequalities, socialist welfare state,

relations between society and political power, including legitimization of socialist dictatorships

shaping of global dependency structures, economic transformations and changes in labor,

public policies and expert communities, particularly in the field of: economics, sociology, urban studies, law, health, psychology, ecology,

transnational scientific and economic cooperation,

changes in lifestyles, popular culture and mass media,

gender relations in family life and the public sphere, as well as gender and sexual minorities,

artistic practices, including cultural policies, artistic critique, art institutions and market,

memory of state socialism after the regime change of 1989

CfP: 'Time and Machines, 1700-1850' -- University of Neuchâtel

 CfP: 'Time and Machines, 1700-1850' -- University of Neuchâtel, 19-20 January 2023

As of the eighteenth century, machines became central to the process of technological innovation. The ‘mechanical arts’ then encompassed a large spectrum of disciplines and practices, whose commonality – as Jean d’Alembert stressed in the article ‘Machine’ of the Encyclopédie (vol. 9, 1765, p. 794b) – lied in the endeavor to regulate a given force, and maximize its action. Artisans were most often in charge of the creation of machines and of the elaboration of knowledge linked to their functioning, although natural philosophers also got engaged with technological innovation. In this respect, one might consider the importance of providing expertise on machines for the learned societies of the time, in France (the Paris Academy of Sciences) as well as in Britain (the Royal Society of London and the Society of Arts).

In the creation of machines and their assessment, a key role was played by the concept of ‘economy’. This notion had multiple meanings: the economy afforded by machines could be of materials, of human force, but also of time. As d’Alembert underscored in the article mentioned above, a machine could also be defined as a device ‘aimed to produce movement in a way that saves time in the execution of the effect’ (p. 794b). It is therefore not surprising to find a recurrent insistence on time economy in the assessments of machines submitted for scientific evaluation, as testified – to mention just one example – by archival documents held at the Paris Academy of Sciences. Most often, the economy of time was associated with that of fuel (wood, charcoal, etc.), of crucial importance in an age constantly threatened with the dearth of energetic supplies.

The efficiency of machines, particularly regarding the time in which they executed their operations, was crucial also to determine their potential productivity. When the use of a machine was embedded in a chain of production, as was the case in manufactures, the rigid temporal organization of the technical procedure was crucial to control the procedure, the outcome, and the management of workforce, thus ensuring a steady increase of profit. This aspect does not only emerge from expert reports on manufactures or the text of patents, but also from late eighteenth and early nineteenth-century literature on technology and industry. One might consider the discussions of time economy provided in Alexander Hamilton’s Report on the Subject of Manufactures (1791), Joseph-Gérard Christian’s Vues sur le système général des opérations industrielles, ou plan de technonomie (1819), Charles Babbage’s On the Economy of Machinery and Manufactures (1832), and Léon Lalanne’s Essai philosophique sur la technologie (1840).

In the early industrialization period, the practice of time economy became a source of discipline. In a seminal article of 1967 -- 'Time, Work-Discipline, and Industrial Capitalism' -- E.P. Thompson illustrated the time discipline to which individuals were submitted in the industrial age. An idea of regularity and of ‘time thrift’ became widespread in society after the introduction of rationalized working rhythms in factories. This new perception of time overthrew the traditional time consciousness of people, shaped by natural cycles and ‘task-oriented’ work. Thompson gave a strong moral connotation to time discipline, as a condemnation of idleness and time waste. He also established – partly inspired by Max Weber – a connection between time economy, the rise of capitalism, and Puritanism, giving a religious connotation to time discipline. Whilst several historians have casted several doubts on the validity of Thompson’s account (e.g., Glennie and Thrift 1996), no critical discussion has been provided so far of the relationship between the emergence of time discipline and the mechanization of labor, which seems however to be one of the key innovations in the industrial development between the eighteenth and the nineteenth century. Likewise, little attention has been devoted to the broader social implications of the idea of time discipline, such as in the emergence of forms of temporal organization, with special reference to mobility (of people, goods, or information).

We welcome submissions on the relationship between time and machines in the period 1700-1850. The issues dealt with in the papers might include (but are not restricted to) the following:

The economy of time in inventions

The economy of time in the scientific discourse on machines

The connections between time and fuel economy

The economy of time and the birth of a culture of productivity

The connections between machines, time thrift and capitalism

The role of machines in optimizing the temporal structure of productive processes in manufactures and factories

Time as a discipline in the early industrialization, and the broader social implications of this notion

Please send your proposals (in either English or French) of no more than 500 words, before Monday 30th September 2022 to Marco Storni, Université de Neuchâtel.

 Vladimer Luarsabishvili (ed.): Rethinking Mamardashvili: Philosophical Perspectives, Analytical Insights. Leiden: Brill 2022. ISBN: 978-90-04-51763-9

This book intends to present Mamardashvili’s philosophical perspective on modern society by exemplifying in different ways its distinctive contribution to the greater philosophical landscape. The authors aim to define both Mamardashvili’s place in the history of philosophy—among the currents of twentieth-century European thought and, in particular, phenomenology—and his relations with authors like Hegel, Proust, Deleuze, and Wittgenstein, while identifying the basic methodological instruments and substantive concepts of his thought—language, migration, citizenship, or “the freedom of complaint.” The volume will be useful both for preparatory courses (by supplying an introduction to Mamardashvili’s thought and forming the key necessary concepts) and for advanced research exigencies, allowing a professional audience to discover the remarkable insights of Mamardashvili’s philosophy.

Call for Papers Repairing Technology – Fixing Society? International conference at the Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C²DH) 13-14 October 2022

 

Failures and breakdowns constitute an important element in the fundamental relationship between users and technology, and maintenance and repair are fundamental practices in everyday life. Stephen Graham and Nigel Thrift (2007) highlighted that “repair and maintenance are not incidental activities. In many ways, they are the engine room of modern economies and societies”. However, we still know very little about the actual developments of repair practices in the past and today. In his essay “Rethinking repair”, Steven Jackson (2014) therefore called for what he coined “broken world thinking”. He argues that we should take “erosion, breakdown, and decay, rather than novelty, growth, and progress, as our starting points” when we want to study consumption and use. Broken world thinking is an exercise in “infrastructural inversion”, a reversal of fore- and background to better understand the hidden, but fundamental practices of repair that keep our modern technical world running. Despite the prevailing master narrative that the advent of the consumer society caused a decline in repair, it has not become obsolete in modern consumer societies but has remained integral to their economic functioning.

Current repair advocates emphasise the sustainability of repair. We are interested in historical and contemporary discourses and critical reflections about the assumed relationship between maintenance, repair and (more) sustainable consumption. By discussing the epistemology, sociology, politics, economics, and histories of maintenance and repair, we would like to contribute to the growing field of repair studies. We are interested in repair in all its forms: from small objects to large technical systems, from the global North to the global South. The conference is open to various interdisciplinary approaches.

Possible topics include:

the epistemology, sociology, and politics of repair

innovation through maintenance and repair practices

the relationship between repair and sustainability

the environmental impact of consumer societies

experimental approaches in studying repair and maintenance

maintenance and repair practices as forms of resistance

the social construction of repairability and/or obsolescence

philosophical, ethnographical, and historical approaches

the history of manuals and the transfer of repair knowledge in general

historical, economic, and sociological perspectives on “lifespans” of objects

The conference is part of our FNR-funded REPAIR project that investigates the maintenance practices of the Luxembourg telephone network, continuity and change in local repair opportunities for consumer objects, and the role and influence of do-it-yourself cultures on repair practices.

The C²DH will cover the travel and accommodation costs of invited participants. Please send abstracts (400-500 words) and a short CV to repair@uni.lu; the deadline is 31 July 2022. Confirmation of participation by August 15. Invited workshop participants will be expected to submit extended abstracts (1,500 words) by 30 September 2022.

DARYA TSYMBALYUK: ERASURE: RUSSIAN IMPERIALISM, MY RESEARCH ON DONBAS, AND I

 URL: https://kajetjournal.com/2022/06/15/darya-tsymbalyuk-erasure-russian-imperialism-my-research-on-donbas/  .

Researcher and artist Darya Tsymbalyuk focuses on the processes of displacement and the after-effects of war in Donbas by employing a fascinating epistemological lens: the disruption of human-plant relations as a result of imperialism, coloniality, and violence. At the centre of this piece, we find the concept of erasure: how to recognise its forms of manifestation and how to try to stop it from amplifying further.

Walter Benjamin in the East – Networks, Conflicts, and Reception. International Conference at the Leibniz-Zentrum für Literatur- und Kulturforschung, July 7-9, 2022.

 With keynotes by Sergei Romashko and Oxana Timofeeva, and a roundtable with contributions from Kateryna Mishchenko, Adam Lipszyc, and Christian Ferencz-Flatz.

WALTER BENJAMIN IN THE EAST – NETWORKS, CONFLICTS, AND RECEPTION

In late and post-Socialist contexts in Eastern Europe, the works of Walter Benjamin—a historical materialist thinker who travelled to the young Soviet Union in the 1920s—have incited various theoretical transfers, artistic engagements, and political appropriations. Benjamin’s ‘afterlife’ before and after the dissolution of the Eastern Bloc offers the possibility to map out manifold trajectories and networks of reception—ranging from research groups, artistic movements, and conferences, to translations, and publishing houses. Investigating their interactions allows us to decentralize the Eastern European space in going beyond a Moscow-based perspective on ‘Benjamin in the East.’ Conflicting receptions of Benjamin need to be studied in their specific geo-cultural, historical, and political contexts in order to show affinities and differences not only across languages and cultures. Tensions also occur in a variety of translational processes—transfers between theory, cultural practices, political activism, disciplinary fields, and vice versa.

The conference brings together scholars, translators, artists, activists, and editors from across Europe to collaboratively historicize these transfers across Walter Benjamin’s works and their reception. In doing so, we will also reflect on real and imaginary constructions of the East/West divide. These are prevalent not only in European societies but can also be constitutive to specific Eastern/Western academic perspectives on Walter Benjamin as a disciplinary figure that crosses geo-cultural borders and boundaries.

The event is free of charge. Please register in advance and specify the panels or sections that you want to attend under anmeldung@zfl-berlin.org.

Call For Papers: The Anthropology of Nonviolence: The Humanist Tradition in Russian Culture

 Call For Papers

The Anthropology of Nonviolence: The Humanist Tradition in Russian Culture

The journal New Literary Observer announces a call for submissions for a new special issue dedicated to the humanist tradition in Russian culture.

Send your submission (name, affiliation, title, and an abstract of 400–500 words) to nlo.editors@nlobooks.ru. Deadline: 1 July.

In the last century, the idea of nonviolence was connected with the names of such people as Leo Tolstoy, Mahatma Gandhi, and Martin Luther King, Jr. In this context, nonviolence is usually viewed as a tactic or strategy of mass political and religious movements. In our opinion, however, the idea and practice of nonviolence is broader. It is embodied not only in political and religious projects, but also in everyday habits and rituals that go as far back as written history, and perhaps even further. Ideas of nonviolence can be found in myths and in the ethical teachings of Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, and other religions. Oresteia by Aeschylus ends with Athena establishing the court and thus ending the vicious cycle of retribution. In the Trojan cycle of myths, when Achilles wants to attack Agamemnon, the same goddess tells him, “Do not hit him with your sword. Hit him with words.” The Old Testament principle of “An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth” is replaced by “Love thy neighbor as thyself.” Such stories express the intuition that civilization as such is premised on the limitation of destructive tendencies or their transformation, and thus it is necessary to include elements of nonviolence.

What could the anthropology of contemporary culture tell us about nonviolence? Why does society (and more broadly, civilization), which over the course of millennia has practiced violence and finds reasons for it, nevertheless periodically return to nonviolence as an alternative ethos, modus vivendi, and modus operandi? Reflections on the nature and boundaries of violence has long been a subject of discussion on the pages of the New Literary Observer (see, for instance, the special issues “Anthropology of Closed Societies” in No. 100 [2009]; “The Post-Soviet as Postcolonial” in No. 161 and 166 [2020], and others) and in its public spaces (see, for instance, the 27th Bannye Readings “Anthropology of Violence: State, Society, Culture,” 2021). Today, the question of value, effectiveness, emancipatory power, and forms of the practice of nonviolence seems to be more relevant than ever for Russian humanities scholars.

The questions that we are proposing to reveal insights into in this special issue:

1. What is the difference between violence and nonviolence? What categories do non-violent practices belong to? How could the history of concepts (“good,” “mercy,” “humanity,” etc.) be thought of from a research perspective for the study of nonviolence?

2. Can non-violent practices successfully be opposed to explicit (physical, symbolic, etc.) and implicit (everyday, routine, normalized) violence? Are there examples where violence was stopped by the logic of nonviolence? Can nonviolence be an effective alternative to violence, and what are its effective strengths?

3. What can Russian history tell us about nonviolence? What potential for nonviolence does Russian culture have? How have ideas of nonviolence been embodied in Russian social practices? How have societal practices of nonviolence been reflected in cultural and artistic sources?

4. Are we able today to counter an equally routine, everyday, and demonstrative violence with a new humanistic ethos? On what political, historical, and philosophical grounds could it be formed and in what limiting values can it be conceived?

5. There is a well-known thesis about the inaugural abilities of violence: many states and other unions consider their history to start with a war or a revolution. Does nonviolence have such a inaugural ability?

Eduardo Fernández Couceiro: Pronikání humanismu a renesance do české knižní kultury [The influence of humanism and the Renaissance on Czech book culture]. Praha: Academia 2022. ISBN 978-80-200-3305-5

 

Kniha komplexně zkoumá proces pronikání humanismu a renesance do české knižní kultury a kriticky se staví proti převažující interpretační linii, vedoucí od národního obrození až po marxistickou literární vědu, která se snažila uchovat velkolepý obraz 16. století jako „zlatého věku“. Ve sledovaném období žila česká převážně reformačně orientovaná společnost v sebestředném náboženském mesianismu a stavěla se odmítavě k jakýmkoliv kulturním novinkám. Knihtiskařská produkce zřetelně odrážela konzervatismus a mravní rigorismus utrakvistické společnosti, která ignorovala zábavnou literaturu, protože ji považovala za samoúčelnou anebo dokonce za nežádoucí. Do české knižní kultury nenašly cestu renesanční literární žánry ani humanistická textová kritika. Z typografického hlediska tiskaři se od gotického estetického názoru odpoutávali velmi pomalu. Muselo se čekat na obrození, než se česká knižní kultura pracně vrátila do evropského hlavního kulturního proudu.
