CFP: Meetings and Movements of Jewish People & Artifacts across Cold-War Boundaries

Deadline: January 14, 2022

The political discourses of the Cold War, and of the first decades of reflection following the regime changes in Central Europe in 1989 and the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, portrayed a world divided by ideology and bifurcated by militarized borders. We seek to explore areas and moments of contact between Jews and Jewish communities across Cold-War boundaries, with the goal of deepening our understanding of the Cold War as a global phenomenon, and of shared cultural patterns across its divides. We aim to include works which cover a broad geographical scope, including the USSR, but without centering experiences with that state. Proposals pertaining to southeastern and central Europe, as well as to capitalist regions beyond the USA are desired.

This section provides a home for primary sources related to the journal’s theme that are relatively unknown or have not been published before.

Such texts can be accompanied by an introductory note.

CFP: Soviet Materialities Conference (Cambridge Univ.)

Deadline: November 15, 2021

Soviet Materialities

Jesus College, University of Cambridge, UK

11–12 April 2022

The aim of this conference is to explore how a turn towards materiality can enrich our understanding of the Soviet cultural landscape. We invite proposals that consider material and objects, their journeys through time and space, their processes of making and re-making, and how those perspectives might uncover alternative modernisms, defamiliarise Sovietness, and explore the diversity of Soviet experiences and identities.
