Study Abroad: To Reason Russia from the Mind: An Original Summer School on Russian Language and Culture in an Era of Change (Tallinn, Estonia)

Info Session: January 22, 2024

https://www.nemirovsky-school.com/

Fedor Tiutchev, the renowned nineteenth-century Russian poet, defined his relationship to Russia as follows: “Russia cannot be reasoned from the mind / nor measured on a common scale.” Unfortunately, the realities of our time precludes us from the luxury of “not reasoning Russia from the mind.” We must strive towards this goal, and such is the objective of our summer school on Russian language and culture which will take place in the delightful atmosphere of Russophone Tallinn from June 10-July 19, 2024.

CFP: Nationalist Polylingualism: Multiple Linguistic Loyalties in East-Central Europe and the Balkansand National Belonging

Deadline: May 26, 2024

Scholarship of nationalism in East-Central Europe and the Balkans has made great strides in the last decade. Though Robert Kann (1950) once analyzed the Habsburg monarchy as “the Multinational Empire,” recent scholarship, however, has increasingly problematized such narratives of the Habsburg Empire as a mosaic of mutually exclusive nations. Work on national indifference (King 2002; Judson 2006; Zahra 2011; Ginderachter & Fox 2019) has shown that nation-ness and ethnicity were not relevant in all situations and for all people.

CFP: Infrastructures of Trading and Transferring Art since 1900 (workshop) | June 26–28, 2024, KEMKI – Central European Research Institute for Art History, Budapest, Hungary

Deadline: January 31, 2024

Although art market studies as an academic field has become increasingly popular in the last decade, there has been little research that critically examines the actors, places, rules, and structures of this system. This workshop aims to explore the infrastructures through which artworks have been produced and exchanged for goods, money, services, and reputation since 1900.
Our focus is not only on the dominant and well-known structures of the art market but also on alternative practices in specific times and places and under various regimes. Proposals may relate but are not limited to the following topics and can present arguments based of case studies or an overarching thesis:- Actors and networks for transferring and trading art, such as auction houses, dealers, galleries, museums, art societies, artists’ networks or collectives, dealer and/or collector consortia, laymen;- Locations and platforms for trading and transferring art, such as museums, freeports, hotels, apartments, fairs, and online platforms;- State involvement in trading and transferring art, such as commissioning monumental art/murals, guaranteed buying, soft power cultural politics, censorship;- Communication for trading and transferring art, such as art critique or catalogue raisonné writing by dealers, advertisement or PR;- Logistics and shipping of trading and transferring art- Finances of trading and transferring art, such as collateralization or tax deduction;- Illicit or unethical trading and transferring of art such as unprovenanced and/or looted objects, forgeries, insider trade.

SCAS and Virtual Ukraine Institute for Advanced Study (VUIAS)

Deadline: January 28, 2024

CAS and Virtual Ukraine Institute for Advanced Study (VUIAS)
The Swedish Collegium for Advanced Study participates in a recently launched initiative to support Ukrainian scholars in their effort to found a Ukraine Institute for Advanced Study (UIAS) in Kyiv. Behind the initiative is the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin, in close cooperation with partner institutes in Ukraine, other parts of Europe, and the United States.

The operations of a virtual institution, VUIAS, commenced in September 2023, whereas full-scale institutional activities on-site in Ukraine will only be possible at a later stage. The goals of the newly founded institution are manifold: VUIAS will mobilize support for scholarships under conditions of war and contribute to rebuilding Ukrainian academia once the war is over. By connecting Ukrainian scholars in and outside Ukraine, VUIAS
will more strongly integrate Ukrainian scholars into the international academic landscape and broaden and deepen knowledge on Ukraine within global academia.

In the initial phase, two kinds of fellowships are offered: VUIAS Fellowships abroad and VUIAS Fellowships in Ukraine. The SCAS-VUIAS Fellowship Programme offers 1 or 2 VUIAS Fellowships abroad to Ukrainian scholars.
