The 2018 Annual Soyuz Symposium
New Stages? Postsocialisms, Postliberalisms, and Performances
Yale University March 2–3, 2018
Soyuz, the Research Network for Postsocialist Cultural Studies, invites presentation proposals for its 2018 symposium, to be held at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut on March 2–3, 2018. We are seeking research papers and multimedia presentations (including documentary/ethnographic/artistic films and performances) on the broad topic of performance and postsocialism, and we encourage submissions that apply this framework to the political imaginaries of the contemporary global moment.
The Soyuz Research Network connects cultural studies scholars and ethnographers researching postsocialism, understood as a theoretically generative problem space describing social life in regions of the world including East-Central Europe and the Former Soviet Union, Asia, Africa, Latin American, and the Caribbean. Our goal is to foster collegial conversations about postsocialisms among generations of researchers in anthropology and cultural studies broadly conceived, with a special eye to building connections across traditional area studies boundaries. We welcome submissions from scholars of all career stages, including graduate students and colleagues in professions outside the academy.
We are delighted to announce that Alaina Lemon, Professor of Anthropology at the University of Michigan and author of the forthcoming book Technologies for Intuition: Cold War Circles and Telepathic Rays, will give the keynote address.
The 2018 Soyuz Symposium theme “New Stages?” seeks to trace the myriad intersections of performance studies, cultural studies, and ethnography as they relate to political imaginaries. We encourage presenters to consider the varied ways that performance circulates as an interpretive lens for political and social life, as an expressive genre for cultural forms, and as a mode for conducting and sharing ethnographic research. How might postsocialisms beget particular kinds of embodied practice, social action, and/or expressive culture? How might performance, as an embodied event, carry forth ways of knowing about postsocialisms that are otherwise overlooked or unexamined? How are the boundaries around what counts as “performance” drawn in different contexts? How might performance, the performative, or performance ethnography challenge, invigorate, or enliven explorations of postsocialisms and politics, including on a global scale?
We welcome papers that explore these topics across postsocialist regions – from hip hop in Cuba, to theatre in Russia, to fashion in Croatia, to contemporary art performance in Poland, to puppetry in Vietnam – using ethnographic and cultural studies approaches. Concepts of performance have long informed ethnography and cultural studies far beyond scholarship explicitly engaged with theater and other performance arts. We are thus especially eager to receive submissions that take up performance in all manner of theoretical paradigms and ethnographic settings, including language and communication, international political posturing, and gender, race, and class.
Possible themes include:
Ritual and spectacle
Aesthetic forms
Performance in the “New Cold War”
The “end of realist politics”
Art vs. life
Masks or puppetry
Postsocialisms and postliberalisms
Front and backstage
Audience, publics, fandom
New modes of mediated celebrity
Phatic communion/communication
Comedy, satire, stiob
Performativity
Interpreting the meaning of embodied performance
Enacting bureaucracy
Stage, sets, lighting, dramaturgy
Scripting and improvisation
Characters and social roles
Performing and performative gender and/or sexuality
Performance ethnography, ethnography of performing arts
Reality TV / reality politics
Fake news / post-truth
Performance on social media
Authenticity, imitation, and appropriation
As always at Soyuz, other topics of research on postsocialisms that are not directly related to the year’s theme are also welcome. We anticipate inviting selected papers for publication as a special issue of one of the relevant journals.
Abstracts of up to 250 words should be sent to the Soyuz 2018 organizing committee at [email protected] by November 15, 2017. Please include your full name, affiliation, and paper title. Write “Soyuz 2018” in the subject line of your email. Papers will be selected and notifications made by mid-December, 2017.
The Soyuz Research Network for Postsocialist Cultural Studies is an interdisciplinary forum for exchanging work based on field research in postsocialist countries, including Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, Africa, East and Southeast Asia, and Latin America. Soyuz is an interest group of the American Anthropological Association (AAA) and an official unit of the Association for Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies (ASEEES). The Soyuz symposium has met annually since 1991 and offers an opportunity for scholars to interact in a more personal setting. More information on the Soyuz Research Network can be found at the website.
The 2018 Soyuz Symposium is made possible through the support of the Department of Anthropology and Council on European Studies at Yale University.

Elites and the State: organisation, dissolution and re-invention of state and government, 1725–1925
Third Finnish-Russian Conference on Elite Studies
At the Consulate General of Finland, St Petersburg, 13-14 September 2018
Third Finnish-Russian Conference on Elite Studies focuses on State elites that occupy positions in the central administration or act as its representatives on the local level, organise and uphold state-level economic structures, and/or contribute to the formation and maintenance of state-related ideologies and cultural institutions.
Our starting point is the Russian concept государственность ( gosurdarstvennost , derived from the word state, or государство) – translated alternately as statehood, governance, organisation/theory of the state, sovereignty within the state, government, state system, or governmental organisation.
The many aspects of this concept provide both firm framework and broad scope for historical analysis of elite functions. It covers the role of diverse elites within the maintenance of an established central government and the assertion of state control on the local level – but also the important role of oppositional elites challenging the status quo or even overthrowing an existing state system, as well as the role of elite cadres in re-inventing state structures and reorganising governmental institutions, post-crisis.
Potential paper topics include, but are not limited to:
elite formations and key individuals who
* have a role in the developments, processes and events that constitute the history of the state, such as nationalist movements, separatist activities, civil wars, revolutions and establishment of new governments
* contribute to the formation, dissolution and re-invention of state-related ideologies (i.e. politicians, members of nongovernmental organisations and independent cultural, religious, artistic, academic, educational and media elites), also on a local level
* contribute to the academic and/or popular understanding, justification and historiography of the construction and contemporary structure of the state, particularly within political philosophy and ideological, intellectual and legal history
* organise and uphold state-level economic structures and governmental and civil service practices
various aspects of
* the design and/or display of the material, aesthetic and symbolic representations the State
* the structural history of the government of the state
* the historical and historiographic usage and conceptual scope of государственность
There is no participation fee. Travelling and accommodation expenses are not covered by the organiser.
The deadline for paper proposals (in English, Finnish or Russian) is 1 February 2018. The letters of acceptance/rejection will be sent by 1 April 2018. The deadline for papers is 1 September 2018.
Send your proposal (max. one page) to Dr Kristiina Kalleinen:

TOPIC
The process of the disappearance of the capacity to understand icons can be equated to a breakdown of the capacity for self-expression in one’s own language, to a forced break with a people’s traditions, to a progressive loss of identity. This loss is dramatically revealed in both the inability to articulate one’s own identity in rational language, and in the dissolution of identity itself. It is a dichotomous process, because in losing the image we have of ourselves, we lose the language with which we have been defining ourselves. Icons, which arose from the Christian tradition that today we call Byzantine, preserve, reveal, and explain the nature of man and of the community. They turn out to be bearers of the meaning of life. And they do so in a special way, simultaneously serving as both image and language, as image and philosophy. Ontology, anthropology, and historiosophy naturally coexist where grace and creation meet, where the supernatural and natural come together: in the liturgy, in the liturgy that has been the exquisite womb of philosophy since the first centuries of the Church, and that continues to be so today. The natural place for philosophy in the strictest sense has been, and is, the liturgy. Icons are therefore the paradigmatic bearers of the liturgical arena and of reflection on the nature of the being of man and his history.
If we are increasingly aware of the need to return theology to the position of master discourse, and if we affirm that the legacy of Russian Christian thought must reclaim its specific value, then Russian-Byzantine iconography represents an excellent arena from which to do so, with an extraordinary power that without a doubt can also overcome the superficial aestheticism that has covered it up over the past hundred years almost as much as the smoke from the candles of previous centuries.
In the context of modernity, Eugene Trubetskoy was the first to address this challenge. Accordingly, we feel that the centennial of the 1918 publication of his third essay on Russian iconography, Russia in her icon, and his work The meaning of life offers us a valuable opportunity to be inspired by his thought. His conviction that “the unconditional truth must make itself exist in life despite the lie that reigns therein,” today serves as a challenge that calls to us whenever we find ourselves in front of an icon.
We do not intend to only focus on E. Trubetskoy’s work, but rather aim to use it as a starting point for exploring the nature of icons as the bearers and expressions of the truth that gives meaning to life. We thus dare to take another step forward in discovering the ontological, anthropological, and historiosophical arenas that icons offer us, thereby venturing deeper into the as yet minimally explored field of the relationship between icons and philosophy, between icons and all of the existential dimensions of the world around us.
In this way, we hope to recover the profound, broad, and non-fragmented view of the contemporary world that icons offer us, restoring their unique value as aids to answering the question that Eugene Trubetskoy poses in the first sentence of the first essay The question of the meaning of life in ancient religious painting, published in 1915: “It may be that the question of the meaning of life has never been posed with such force as in these current times of evil and meaninglessness on display around the world.”
The reflection on the will surely help us explore the sources for the answer that Trubetskoy already provided: “In response, the ancient Russian iconographers, with surprising clarity and power, incarnated, in the images and the colors that filled their souls, a vision of the truth of life and a different meaning of the world.” We are convinced that, just as Trubetskoy maintained, this truth about icons and the Church does not belong to the past, and thus it is not just a more or less interesting characteristic of the already antiquated and rather extreme way of thinking of the first centuries of Christianity. It is a perpetually current ekklesiotea.

The conference will be divided into six sections investigating different aspects of our general topic.

3 rd INTH Network Conference: “Place and Displacement: The Spacing of History”
Call for Papers
The International Network for Theory of History (INTH) is happy to announce that its third network conference will take place in Stockholm from August 20th-22nd, 2018, at Södertörn University. The goal of the conference is to gather theorists and philosophers of history from around the world and to offer a forum for scholars to exchange ideas, questions and resources.
Recent years have seen a tragic combination of increasing levels of forced migration and a rise of isolationist nationalist and religious identity politics. The 3rd INTH conference will address these issues through the overarching theme of place and displacement and the shaping of the spaces of history and memory.
History is often used to claim the specific identity of places, delimit or contest certain territories, and undergird politics of spatial in- and exclusion. Spatial politics also tend to orient how and from what perspective the past is represented. Migration and spatial dislocation can profoundly change the way people relate to history and memory. The politics and historicity of space is an emerging domain where theory of history, history and philosophy, critical cultural geography, political science, urban and memory studies come together to explore a common territory. Ultimately, it motivates a critical examination of the fields of knowledge production and transmission: To what extent are particular histories and philosophies of history not only place-based but also place-bound in their truth-claims? How can we capture the transnational interconnectedness and place-making dynamics of histories from migrating, multidirectional memories? And which kinds of history writing and history education are best equipped to respond to the challenges of global migration and multicultural societies? To what extent do histories not just ‘take place’ but also always ‘make place’ by changing these places and the way they are experienced?
Topics
The main focus of this conference is on place and displacement and its relevance for the theory of history. But as in the previous meetings of the INTH, we also welcome papers on other relevant topics in the field of Philosophy and Theory of History, including (but not necessarily limited to):
● Conceptual history
● Ethics of history
● Experience/presence
● Hermeneutics
● Historical (in)justice
● Historical time
● History and mourning/trauma
● History as science (causation, explanation, lawfulness ...)
● Narrativism
● Politics of history and memory
● Public/popular history
● Substantive/speculative philosophy of history
● The history of historiography
● The relations between history and other academic fields
Through the collaboration with the Centre for Baltic and East European Studies (CBEES), there will also be special panels devoted to topics in the Theory of history with connection to Eastern Europe and Russia.

Scientiae: Disciplines of Knowing in the Early Modern World 16-19 May 2018
University of Minnesota, Twin Cities Minneapolis, USA
The Programme Committee for the 7th Annual Scientiae Conference invites submissions for individual papers or special panels on the disciplines of knowing in the early modern world (roughly 1400-1800), to be held at the University of Minnesota, 16-19 May 2018.
The major premise of the Scientiae Conference series is that knowledge during the early modern period was pre-disciplinary, involving complex mixtures of theories, practices and objects, which had yet to be separated into their modern ‘scientific’ configurations. Although centred on attempts to understand and control the natural world, Scientiae addresses natural philosophy, natural history, and the scientiae mixtae within a wide range of related fields, including but not restricted to Biblical exegesis, medicine, artisan practice and theory, logic, humanism, alchemy, magic, witchcraft, demonology, divinatory practices, astronomy, astrology, music, antiquarianism, experimentation and commerce. The conference and the sessions are interdisciplinary and intended to foster debate, one of Scientiae’s defining values.
While the Programme Committee welcomes proposals for 20-25 minute papers from any disciplinary perspective, we would like to encourage submissions that seek to examine modes of early modern knowledge formation and application that cross traditional national, geographic, linguistic or intellectual borders.
For 2018, we would also like to invite proposals for a series of special 2-hour interdisciplinary panels. These should be organised by theme and include three speakers and a commentator who treat the issue from different disciplinary perspectives.
The Program Committee welcomes sessions that present the scholarship of members at various stages of their careers. However, graduate student speakers must be advanced students who have completed coursework, examinations, and much of their dissertation research, and expect to defend their dissertations in the next two years.
Individual papers should include a 250-word abstract and a 1-page CV. Panel proposals should consists of a single 250-word description of the theme under discussion, and three 100-word outlines of how each paper will contribute to this theme, and from what discipline/angle.
Email proposals to: scientiaeminnesota [at] gmail.com
Deadline: 25 November 2017 .
We will notify all contributors by 5 January.

CFP "Imperial Cities: The Tsarist Empire, the Habsburg Empire and the Ottoman Empire in Comparison"
International Conference
German Historical Institute, Moscow, April 26-27, 2018
VOH – Verband der Osteuropahistorikerinnen und -historiker e.V. / Association of Historians on East Central Europe
DGO – Deutsche Gesellschaft für Osteuropakunde e.V. / German Association for East European Studies
DHI Moskau – Deutsches Historisches Institut Moskau / German Historical Institute, Moscow
Herder-Institut für historische Ostmitteleuropaforschung – Institut der Leibniz-Gemeinschaft / Herder Institute for
Historical Research on East Central Europe – Institute of the Leibniz Association
Universität Wien, Institut für Osteuropäische Geschichte / University of Vienna, Institute for Eastern European History
Urban history research has recently experienced increasing interest in “imperial” questions. One expression that is used over and over again is the “imperial city”. While this term has so far primarily been applied to the European metropolises of the western colonial empires, this conference aims to analyze the phenomenon of the imperial city in the context of the continental empires of Eastern Europe, such as the Habsburg Monarchy, the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire. Since these empires do not draw a clear distinction between “colony” and “motherland”, we suggest therefore that “imperial cities” can be understood as particular cities where empire manifests itself, which are also marked by the imperial form of the state. Regarding the empires of Eastern Europe, this includes not only the metropolises of Vienna, Budapest, Istanbul or St. Petersburg, but also such multiethnic provincial cities as L’viv, Kazan or Sarajevo, border cities like Brody, Tiraspol or Belgrade, port cities such as İzmir, Trieste or Odessa, and many more.
Therefore, this conference will seek to determine how fruitful it is to call cities imperial in the context of the continental empires of Eastern Europe. What is specific about “imperial cities” in Eastern Europe? How can questions of imperial history expand our understanding of these cities? And finally, how instructive is it to explore these empires in the light of urban history?
Since we assume that imperial structures also shape cities in the long term, this conference approaches the phenomenon of imperial cities from the eighteenth to the twenty-fi rst centuries based on the following three, interwoven aspects:
❫ Cityscape: Imperial cities claim to represent the empire vis-à-vis both their own inhabitants and foreign powers, and to provide space for different population groups. To what extent does the given city meet this claim? How do areas of ethnic, religious and social entanglement relate to areas of segregation in the city?
❫ Imperial modernization: Capital and industry accumulate in imperial cities, which thus stage themselves as sites of social and technological progress. Aiming to embody the civilizing power of the empire, they initiate civilizing campaigns on its peripheries, but at the same time they are themselves objects of modernizing interventions. How do such endeavors manifest themselves in cities, and how successful are they?
❫ Afterlife of empire: The imperial imprint of the city often outlives the demise of the empire. Typically, “Habsburg”, “Ottoman” or “Soviet” buildings and quarters still shape the appearance of the city. How does the city deal with this specific heritage? Are “imperial” buildings, streets or quarters torn down and overbuilt, are they preserved and transformed as tourist sites, or do the new rulers strive to politically re-code the imperial remains?
We welcome proposals for case studies on cites of the different empires, of different centuries, and with different thematic focal points. Proposals with crossempire references are especially welcome, whether these are comparisons or analyses of transfers.
Please send your abstract (max. 500 words) and a short CV by November 17, 2017 to [email protected] or [email protected]

Research positions for ERC project “Non-Territorial Autonomy as Minority Protection in Europe: An Intellectual and Political History of a Travelling Idea, 1850–2000“, Vienna, Austria
by Boerries Kuzmany
The European Research Council funded research project “Non-Territorial Autonomy as Minority Protection in Europe: An Intellectual and Political History of a Travelling Idea, 1850–2000“ (NTAutonomy) invites prospective candidates to become part of a team of five researchers. The following four positions will be filled:
* Interpreting Non-territorial Autonomy in Late Habsburg and Interwar Hungary
* Non-territorial Autonomy in Revolutionary Russia and the Early Soviet Union (Postdoc)
* The Baltic States and the Transnational Approach of Minority Activists to Non-territorial Autonomy, 1918–1940
* The Sudeten Germans and Non-Territorial Autonomy for Interwar Czechoslovakia
The Project in its Entirety
NTAutonomy explores the history of non-territorial autonomy, which was a means of granting cultural rights to a national group as a corporate body within a state. The project investigates this form of national self-rule as both an intellectual concept and an applied policy across Europe. We will examine the origins of this idea in both parts of the Habsburg Empire and conduct research on how this concept travelled to the interwar period. Starting from the assumption that non-territorial autonomy was not specific to a particular political current, we will analyse how this concept translated into the early Soviet Union, the socialist Ukrainian People’s Republic, the liberal democracies in the Baltic States, and the far-right Sudeten German Party in Czechoslovakia. Finally, we want to trace non-territorial autonomy elements in the policies of European minority protection institutions until the present day.

Call for H-Ideas Book Reviewers
by Nicolaas P. Barr
H-Ideas is pleased to announce the revival of its book reviews program. H-Net's reviews program plays an increasingly prominent role in academic discussions, taking advantage of the flexibility and relative speed of online publication while maintaining the highest scholarly standards. And now, under the H-Commons platform, list editors can easily crosspost reviews from other networks, greatly expanding the potential readership for reviews published on our network.
My colleagues Aidan Beatty , Eliah Bures , Tejas Parasher , and I have recently been certified as Reviews Editors and are excited to create a new pool of reviewers. We have a robust list of books that are ready to be assigned for review. Reviewers should have demonstrated intellectual expertise and possess or be in the final stages of completion of a terminal graduate degree in their fields. If you wish to be a reviewer, please send an email to [email protected] with a CV and the following information:
* areas of specialization for which you would be a qualified reviewer (e.g. fields, historical periods)
* any languages other than English in which you can competently read and assess scholarly work
Although some networks publish reviews written in languages other than English, we ask reviewers to write reviews in English only, so as to allow for crossposting at other networks.
Please be aware that we cannot accept unsolicited offers to review specific books. H-Net Reviews holds strict guidelines for avoiding potential conflicts of interest among authors and reviewers.
We look forward to hearing from you.
