CFP: The Black Sea as a Literary and Cultural Space (University of Constanța, Romania)

Deadline: July 10, 2025

The Black Sea as a Literary and Cultural Space (3)

Ruins (Ancient and Modern) and Mobilities

20-22 November 2025

Ovidius University of Constanţa (Romania)

Co-organisers:

  • Faculty of Letters, Ovidius University of Constanta
  • Institute of Comparative Literature at Ilia State University (Tbilisi, Georgia)
  • CIELAM (Centre Interdisciplinaire d’Étude des Littératures d’Aix-Marseille) of Aix-Marseille University (France)
  • Sextil Puşcariu Institute of Romanian Academy (Cluj-Napoca)
  • Institute for Literature at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (Sofia)
  • Association “Transpontica” (Sofia)
  • Department of Romance Studies at Sofia University

With the support of the Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie

Argument

Ruins are inseparable from habitats from (types of) experiencing a territory (and aquatory). Ruins mark the outer edges and midpoints of habitats brought about by rivers, wells, ponds, limans, peninsulas and coastal mountain ranges (on the one hand) and a wilderness beyond, on land and at sea alike (on the other hand). May they anchor discourses that are neither elegiac nor apocalyptic but re-domesticating? Or re-domestication takes place as a tacit (extra-literary) activity only? Where is the boundary between re-domestication and oblivion?

Call for Abstracts: The Life and Death of Cold War Funding

Deadline: July 1, 2025

Special Issue of The Russian Review

From Fulbright and IREX scholarships facilitating in-country immersion, to the Wilson Center’s efforts to connect academics and policymakers, to Title VI and Title VIII support for less commonly taught “critical” languages, funding programs that began in the Cold War shaped the field of Russian and Eastern European studies in enduring ways. These programs not only helped the US government “know its enemy” but also consolidated and institutionalized new fields of knowledge (“area studies”), trained experts in the United States, and developed a network of content-creators in the region. Despite its ideological partiality, this system of knowledge production helped soften hearts and minds on both sides of the so-called Iron Curtain. Though the original political impetus behind these programs ended with the collapse of the Soviet Union, many initiatives survived. Even after the Cold War they funded the continued creation of cross-cultural knowledge and expertise, training the next generation of American scholars, and bringing academics, writers, and other practitioners from the region to the West.
