Perpetual Motion? Transformation and Transition in Central, Eastern Europe
Del 18/02/2009 al 20/02/2009; The School of Slavonic and East European Studies, University College .
9thInternational Postgraduate Conference on Central and Eastern Europe.
The School of Slavonic and East European Studies, University College
London, 16 Taviton Street,
London, WC1H 0BW
18-20th February 2009
The countries of Central and Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet Union
have long been thought of in terms of being in a constant state of
flux. This is largely due to their location on an East-West axis of
cultural, economic and political systems. This conference will focus on the
complex and contradictory implications of transformations, recent as well
as historical. If the very concept of transition implies its antithesis –
stability – both are open to be challenged and reassessed. The complex ways
in which perceptions come to impact and change these realities will be
addressed from multiple perspectives.
The themes of transformation and transition are currently giving rise to
fascinating debates in a variety of disciplines – from economics to
philosophy, from politics to performance art. Whilst our aim is to
represent a wide spectrum of disciplines and approaches, we strongly
encourage comparative and multi-disciplinary perspectives, and welcome
proposals using new research methodologies. The conference invites graduate
and postdoctoral students in the Humanities and Social Sciences, as well as
young professionals with sound academic backgrounds, to submit original
research papers including but not limited to the following themes:
Historical: Esotericism; Historiography; Intellectual History; Legal
History; National Projects, Nation-Building, State Formation; Personality
Cults; Radical and Agrarian Politics; Religion; Revolutions and their
Aftermaths; War and Reconstruction.
Cultural: Adaptation of Tropes; Conceptions of Subjectivity;
Deterritorialisation; Diaspora; Folklore, Music and Visual Culture;
Identity and the Body; Lexical Prohibition; Linguistics; Negotiating the
Canon; Performativity; Soviet Kitsch; Translatology.
Political: Administration and Institutions; Civil Liberties; European Union
– Reform and Enlargement; Minority Rights; NATO - Expansion, Engagement and
Reform; New Populism; Parties and Elections; Rise of Authoritarianism;
Transitional Justice.
Economic: Banking Reform; Corruption and Informal Networks; Energy and
Security; Industrial Organization; Inequality; Inflation; Labour Market
Dynamics; Privatization; Regional Specialization; Social Protection; Trade
Patterns; Trade Unions.
Social: Biopolitics; Education and Health Policies; Gender and Sexuality;
Media and Communication; Migration; New Classes and Elites; Social Policy;
State Regulation of Discourse; Symbols, Rituals, Collective Memory; Urban
and Rural Transformation.
We strongly encourage cross-cultural, cross-national and multi-disciplinary
perspectives, with entries on new research methodologies welcomed.
