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.

CFP: ‘Queer Life-Writing in Russia and Beyond’ Primary Sources and Translations
Deadline: October 31, 2021
A special issue of the journal AvtobiografiЯ, devoted to ‘Queer Life Writing in Russia and Beyond’, will be published in December 2022.

While we are no longer accepting expressions of interest for journal articles, we are keen to receive proposals for the ‘Materials’ [Материалы] section of the journal. This section provides a home for primary sources related to the journal’s theme that are relatively unknown or have not been published before. This section also houses translations of relevant texts (normally translations from Russian into English or Italian, the three working languages of the journal). Such texts can be accompanied by an introductory note.

Soviet Materialities
Jesus College, University of Cambridge, UK
