CFP: Conceptualizing Corruption: The “Old Regime” and the New Order in East-Central-South Europe (1750s-1850s)

Deadline: March 1, 2024

New Europe College – Institute for Advanced Study
Bucharest, 17-18 June 2024

During the age of revolutions, West European politicians, scholars, and popular writers often characterized South-East-Central Europe as a corrupt political space. Notables from the region routinely echoed these claims. Those in and outside of South-East-Central Europe mobilized commentaries on “corruption” for their own political, professional, and personal gains. They used the idea of corruption to assert, for instance, that they knew to run more honest and efficient administrations, military regimes, and commercial operations. Political and economic actors on both sides of the continent linked “corruption” to the supposed cultural backwardness and economic underdevelopment of the region. In doing so, public figures naturalized notions of “corruption,” making it appear both widespread and organic, popularizing tropes that have endured right down to the present.

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.
