The Domaine Slavistique of the University of Fribourg (Switzerland) is looking for a PhD student to work on a research project on the intellectual and cultural history of the Ukrainian émigré community in interwar Prague.
You will be involved in the SNF-funded project “Communities of Dialogue: Russian and Ukrainian Émigrés in Modernist Prague”, led by Dr. Patrick Flack (full details: https://comdial.sdvipress.org). The project explores the concrete intellectual entanglements of the Russian and Ukrainian émigré communities in Prague during the interwar period (1918-1938) and clarifies the modalities of their participation in both Prague modernism and the European human sciences. Specifically, it investigates the forms of institutional and personal cooperation through which Russian and Ukrainian émigrés organised their own communities and shaped modernist Prague, focussing on the collaborative activities of key mediating figures. The project aims to deliver a new picture of interwar Prague, redefining the role of intercultural dialogue between specific traditions in its development as a European centre of modernism and human sciences. It provides a major contribution to research on Russian emigration in one of its least studied centres, as well as a new study of the intellectual impact of Ukrainian émigrés in Prague. Further, it explores comparatively the links between exile, political identity and intellectual cultures in the interwar period.
The position will begin in the autumn of 2023 at an agreed-upon date.
