CFP: Roads to Convergence behind the Iron Curtain-Remapping Conceptual Art in the Era of (Post)Socialism (Assoc. of Art History)

Deadline: November 1, 2021

In 2010, the critic Peter Osborne argued that contemporary art is post-conceptual. Notwithstanding broad generalizations, it is undeniable that key traits of contemporary art are rooted in the notion of global conceptualism. Two decades after the closing of the blockbuster exhibition Global Conceptualism: Points of Origin, 1950s-1980s, scholars still ponder the dilemma that propelled the show’s ambitious agenda. Was conceptualism a unified movement that emerged in the West and spread worldwide, or did unique local circumstances give birth to multiple conceptual trends in distant geographic regions? What factors facilitated the development of a global phenomenon, and what transcultural considerations prompted the shift from the formalist preoccupation with material objects toward broader attention to the ideas and conceptual framing of artworks?

CFP: 22nd Biennial Conference on Balkan and South Slavic Linguistics, Literature and Folklore

Deadline: October 22, 2021

The 22nd biennial conference on Balkan and South Slavic Linguistics, Literature and Folklore will be hosted by The Ohio State University in Columbus, OH from Thursday April 7 – Sunday April 10, 2022.

Due to uncertainties about COVID-related safety and possible difficulties or uneasiness participants may have about travel, both domestic and international, to Columbus, we have decided to hold the conference virtually, entirely on-line via Zoom.  It is not ideal, we realize, but a virtual conference has the advantage of guaranteeing that we can indeed hold a robust and intellectually stimulating gathering, and doing it this way will maximize participation.  We will also explore various avenues for socializing via virtual modalities.
