 Max Weber Fellowships Italy 

Scholarship / Financial aid: shared office space and research funds of up to 1000 euros
Date: 1 or 2 years
Deadline: 25 October 2014

Open to: applicants from anywhere in the world, regardless of nationality

Announcement follows
The Max Weber Programme offers 1- and 2-year fellowships. The annual deadline for applications is 25 October. Applications for self-funded fellowships are considered from 25 October 2014 to 25 March 2015 on a first-come first-served basis for as long as there is capacity in the Max Weber Programme.
The Max Weber Programme is funded by the European Commission (DG Education and Culture) and forms an integral part of the research community of the European University Institute in Florence. It is Europe’s largest postdoctoral programme in the social sciences and humanities. It is designed for junior post-docs who have received a doctorate in economics, law, history, social and political sciences, or a related field, within the last 5 years, and who wish to advance their research and academic training within a multidisciplinary environment before entering the international job market or continuing their career as a recently appointed academic.

The Programme is open to applicants from anywhere in the world, regardless of nationality, and is not restricted to citizens of the EU. The language of the programme is English and applicants must fulfil the English language requirements as outlined in the section on Eligibility.

Fellows are selected on the basis of their research proposal; their academic accomplishments and potential; and the availability of EUI faculty, from either one or more of the four departments and/or the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies, to provide mentorship.

All applicants in the field of Economics are selected for a 2 year fellowship, which involves additional activities, such as limited teaching in the department, in the second year. Applicants in other disciplines may apply for a limited number of second year Fellowships during the course of their first year.

The Max Weber Programme is located in the Badia Fiesolana, the main building of the EUI. Fellows have access to the Institute’s excellent research facilities, including what is probably Europe’s best library in the historical and social sciences, and are provided with a shared office space and research funds of up to 1000 euros.

The Programme offers a dedicated and comprehensive series of Academic Practice workshops to improve communication skills (writing, presentation and teaching), to help Fellows with applying for research grants, and with the development of a publication strategy. In addition, it provides a range of teaching-training opportunities (within the EUI, Florence and with a number of presitigious universities abroad) and the possibility of acquiring the MWP Teaching Certificate . The Programme also hosts the Academic Careers Observatory and Fellows are given support for the whole of the job application process, from identifying potential employment opportunities to the job talk and interview. For the Academic practice activities Fellows are organised into disciplinary groups.

Fellows are also given time and encouragement to pursue, present and publish their research as outlined in their proposal, including attending and presenting at suitable conferences and workshops. For this purpose, Fellows are organised into thematic research groups . These groups change every year and are created as appropriate from among those fellows who have been selected according to the selection criteria. Here they can present their on-going research, including the compulsory working paper and draft research funding application that they must complete over the year, and participate in and help organise multidisciplinary research workshops and conferences. Many of the Max Weber Lecturers have been chosen with one of the thematic groups in mind, and as well as giving a lecture they will be available to discuss the research of Fellows on an informal basis and will take part in a workshop built around their work in the context of one of the thematic research groups. Many of these activities are organized by the Fellows themselves.

Both the Academic Practice and the Research group activities make the Max Weber Fellowship a unique and productive multicultural and multidisciplinary intellectual experience that inducts Fellows into full membership of the global academic community.

 Individual Fellowships Scheme
EU / International 
Scholarship / Financial aid: fellowships of €240,500,000 in total

Deadline: 11 September 2014, 17:00 Brussels time

Open to: researchers from outside Europe who have previously worked here
Announcement follows

The goal of Individual Fellowships is to enhance the creative and innovative potential of experienced researchers wishing to diversify their individual competence in terms of skill acquisition at multi- or interdisciplinary level through advanced training, international and intersectoral mobility.

Individual Fellowships provide opportunities to acquire and transfer new knowledge and to work on research in a European context (EU Member States and Associated Countries) or outside Europe. The scheme particularly supports the return and reintegration of researchers from outside Europe who have previously worked here. It also develops or helps to restart the careers of individual researchers that show great potential, considering their experience.

Scope:
Support is foreseen for individual, trans-national fellowships awarded to the best or most promising researchers for employment in EU Member States or Associated Countries, based on an application made jointly by the researcher and host organisation in the academic or non-academic sectors.

Fellowships are either European Fellowships or Global Fellowships. European Fellowships are held in EU Member States or Associated Countries and are open to researchers currently within and outside Europe. The country where the European Fellowship is held is subject to the rules of mobility. Global Fellowships are based on a secondment to a third country and a mandatory 12 month return period to a European host. The country where the Global Fellowship secondment takes place is subject to the rules of mobility, whereas the return phase is not.

Return and reintegration of researchers into a longer term research position in Europe, including in their country of origin, is supported via a separate multi-disciplinary reintegration panel of the European Fellowships. For the reintegration panel, there shall be mobility into Europe.

Support to individuals to resume research in Europe after a career break, e.g. after parental leave, is ensured via a separate multi-disciplinary career restart panel of the European Fellowships. To qualify for the career restart panel, researchers must not have been active in research for at least 12 months immediately prior to the deadline for submission.

Researchers receiving an Individual Fellowship may opt to include a secondment phase in Europe, notably in the non-academic sector, within the overall duration of their fellowship. For a fellowship of 18 months or less, the secondment phase may last up to three months. For a fellowship of more than 18 months, the secondment phase may last up to six months. The secondment phase can be a single period or be divided into shorter mobility periods. The secondment should significantly add to the impact of the fellowship.

A Career Development Plan should be established jointly by the supervisor(s) and the researcher. In addition to research objectives, this plan comprises the researcher's training and career needs, including training on transferable skills, planning for publications and participation in conferences.

Expected impact:

• Individual Fellowships are expected to add significantly to the development of the best and most promising researchers active in Europe, in order to enhance and maximise their contribution to the knowledge-based economy and society.

• The action will also strengthen the contact network of both the researcher and the host organisation.

• The fellowship will contribute to realising the full potential of researchers and to catalysing significant development in their careers in both the academic and non-academic sectors.

• Some researchers will be resuming a research career in Europe after a break, or reintegrating within Europe after living abroad.

Please find information on how to apply on the official website.

 УСЛОЖНЕНИЕ ГУМАНИТАРИЯ:
дигитальная учёность в эмпирическом исследовании
летний цифровой коллоквиум

Что должен чувствовать гуманитарий, внезапно осознавший, что, продолжая говорить прозой, он все в большей степени производит знание «цифрой»? Как быть с аналитическим инструментарием, все ещё скроенным по мерке лингвистического поворота, в эпоху гегемонии софта («медиума второго порядка»)? Что изменяется в социальном эмпирическом исследовании по мере его дигитализации? Как справиться с цифровым разбуханием данных, не теряя аналитического драйва в пучине датификации? Что побуждает нас производить всё более и более «красивые данные»? Может ли социальный исследователь выдержать эту гонку, не превратившись в компьютерщика и дизайнера? Как пережить испытание «цифрой» и остаться качественником? 

Обнинский цифровой проект, реализуемый на базе Школы гуманитарных исследований РАНХиГС (Москва) при поддержке Фонда Михаила Прохорова, приглашает всех дигитально озабоченных гуманитариев и социальных исследователей, занятых в эмпирических проектах, к обсуждению «компьютерных» мутаций в практике, политике и этике исследовательской работы.

векторы для усложнения:

·       большие малые умные данные: анализируй или умри
·       облачные технологии, гисы и так далее: аффекты и эффекты визуализации
·       дигитальное тело качественной аналитики: тэги, ноды, зумы
·       изобретатели поневоле: рождение софта из практики эмпирического исследования
·       от баз данных к аналитическим платформам: что дает гуманитарию революция в сетевой архитектуре?
·       интерфейс проекта: технологии представления эмпирических исследований на разных фазах реализации
·       дигитальное расширение качественного исследования: риски и бонусы
·       трудности перевода:  гуманитарий versus программист
·       новый сизиф: цифровой труд исследователя
·       знание Web 2.0 : этика, право, экономика, политика

Цифровой коллоквиум будет работать на площадке РАНХиГС (Москва)  12 – 13 сентября.  Тезисы докладов объемом до 500 слов вместе с краткой информацией об авторе просьба направлять по адресу:  [email protected] до 25 июля. Круг участников определится к 1 августа. Организаторы готовы рассмотреть вопрос о полной или частичной компенсации проезда и проживания участников и надеются на живое и эффективное сотрудничество.

 Ege University 14th International Cultural Studies Symposium "Culture and Space"
Location: Turkey
Call for Papers Date: 2014-12-30
Date Submitted: 2014-06-10
Announcement ID: 214376
Ege University 15th International Cultural Studies Symposium

“Culture and Space”
Ege University, Faculty of Letters, Izmir, TURKEY

May 6-8, 2015

Edward Soja in his book Postmodern Geographies, says that “We must be insistently aware of how space can be made to hide consequences from us, how relations of power and discipline are inscribed into the apparently innocent spatiality of social life, how human geographies become filled with politics and ideology.”. It is assumed that the spatiality of social life is under the threat and disguise of authoritarian ideologies and practices which may hide the realities of power relations on every level of space in a given culture and society or between the countries of the world. “Space” in the context of our symposium encompasses all sorts of space/places/domains/geographies that human cultural practices directly or indirectly share. The symposium seeks to explore all dialectics and realities of space and culture.

Since the nature of our symposium has traditionally been cross/interdisciplinary, research and studies from all disciplines in the social sciences along with relevant applied sciences are invited. We will have a limited number of Turkish sessions for those who would prefer to present in Turkish (no simultaneous translation will be available).

We welcome proposals for individual papers, entire sessions, presentations, performances, films, roundtables, workshops, conversations or alternative formats, and topical issues including but not limited to the suggested topics listed below.

Digital/Cyber/Virtual Spaces and Politics
Spaces of Power and Politics
History and Space
Film Studies and Space
Gender and Space
Space and Resistance
Utopia/Dystopia/Neverland
Postfordism/Economics and Space
Postcolonial Spaces
Religion and Sacred Space

 Moveable Types: People, Ideas, and Objects

Cultural exchanges in early modern Europe

27-29 November, 2014, University of Kent

Call for Papers
Moveable Types is a three day conference which aims to re-examine the processes of cultural exchange in early modern Europe. Traditional historiography has tended to focus on a bilateral transfer of cultures, which, however meaningful, also lift out individual moments of cultural exchange from the environment which made such encounters not only possible, but also significant. By considering cultural exchange in discrete, isolated moments, one runs the risk of oversimplifying the complex networks of cultural exchange in Europe, and thereby skewing European history into a nation-centred perspective.

Recent scholarship such as histoire croisée, entangled histories, cultural translation and actor network theory (ANT) are, meanwhile, looking at such processes in their entirety, as a noisy hubbub rather than a dialogue between binaries (writer and reader, buyer and seller, one nation and another). These approaches explore a network of different elements and characters, all of which are given equal agency in shaping each others' views of the world.

This conference will explore the implications of these recent developments in scholarship by inviting papers with an interdisciplinary approach to cultural exchange in the early modern period. The objective is thus to question the binaries of traditional scholarship, and to suggest new ways of considering the cultural connections that were being formed, broken and reformed in this period.

Confirmed keynote speakers:
– Andrew Pettegree (University of St Andrews);
– Tiffany Stern (University of Oxford);
– Gilles Bertrand (Université Pierre Mendès France, Grenoble);
– Ruth Ahnert (Queen Mary, University of London).

We invite papers on the following topics:

― literary translation and adaptation;
― exchange of ideas (scientific, humanist, technological, artistic);
― epistolary networks;
― theory of cultural exchange or cultural networks;
― paths of ambassadors, sailors, traders, book pedlars and other travellers;
― news, gossip and news books;
― spaces of cultural exchange: cities, fairs, universities, theatres;
― the making, trading, and consumption of consumer items;
― any other paper relating to early modern cultural exchange.

Abstracts should be sent to  [email protected] before 1st of August 2014 and should not be longer than 300 words. Please include affiliation and contact information, as well as a short biographical note, on a separate document.

Humanism, Pluralism and Cosmopolitanism

by Owen Anderson
Call for Publications

Theme: Humanism, Pluralism and Cosmopolitanism
Publication: Essays in the Philosophy of Humanism
Date: Special Issue
Deadline: 1.1.2015

 Submissions are invited for a Special Issue of Essays in the
Philosophy of Humanism (EPH) dedicated to the topic “Humanism,
Pluralism and Cosmopolitanism.” The deadline for submissions is
January 1st 2015.

Essays in the Philosophy of Humanism, founded in 1992, is a
scholarly, peer-reviewed journal now published twice a year in print
and online by Equinox on behalf of the American Humanist Association
and The Institute for Humanist Studies.

Essays in the Philosophy of Humanism publishes scholarly papers
concerning philosophical, historical, or interdisciplinary aspects of
humanism, or that deal with the application of humanist principles to
problems of everyday life. EPH encourages the exploration of aspects
and applications of humanism, in the broadest sense of
‘philosophical’ as a search for self-understanding, life wisdom, and
improvement to the human condition. The topic of humanism is also
understood to embrace its thoughtful manifestations across the widest
breadth of cultures and historical periods, and non-western
perspectives are encouraged. Inquiry into humanism may also focus on
its contemporary affirmation of a progressive philosophy of life
that, without theism and other supernatural beliefs, affirms the
ability and responsibility to lead ethical lives of personal
fulfillment that aspire to the greater good of humanity. EPH welcomes
multi-disciplinary approaches that arouse broad interest across the
humanities and social sciences, and inspire attention to novel and
needed developments to humanistic thinking.

 Call for Papers: "Contemporaneity: Historical Presence in Visual Culture"
Call for Papers Date: 2014-09-30
Date Submitted: 2014-06-11
Announcement ID: 214410
Contemporaneity is now accepting submissions for the fourth issue of the journal.

Issue 4 deadline for submissions: September 30, 2014

Contemporaneity: Historical Presence in Visual Culture aims to explore how the complexities of being in time find visual form. Crucial to this undertaking is accounting for how, from prehistory to the present, cultures around the world conceive of and construct their present and the concept of presentness visually. Through scholarly writings from a number of academic disciplines in the humanities, together with contributions from artists and filmmakers, Contemporaneity maps the diverse ways in which cultures use visual means to record, define, and interrogate their historical context and presence in time.

For our forthcoming issue, we seek submissions from scholars, artists, and filmmakers. Possible topics or areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• The concept of the present across time and cultures
• The persistence of the past in the present
• Cultural exchange, temporal disjunction, historical coincidence
• The simultaneity of conflicting kinds of time
• Messianic time, circular time, the eternal return, the event, everyday life, historical time, timelessness
• Teleology, apocalypse, the end of time, the end of art, the end of history
• Tradition, decadence, renaissance, restoration, avant-garde, modernization
• Phenomenology of time
• Nostalgia, melancholy, boredom
• Chronophobia and chronomania
• Making time visible, representing time through images and texts, narrating
• The life of images and reception history
• Methodological problems concerning the writing of art history or film history
• Periodization

Proposals for book and exhibition reviews, interviews or scholarly discussions will also be considered. We encourage submissions from artists and filmmakers, recognizing that these submissions may take many forms. Proposals can be directed to the editors at  [email protected] and/or  [email protected]

The deadline for submissions is September 30, 2014. Manuscripts should be no more than 6,000 words in length and should adhere to the Chicago Manual of Style.

 Journal of Studies in History & Culture (JSHC) is a peer-reviewed, open-access online journal. The journal was born out of the needs to provide a platform for interdisciplinary research to emerging scholars across the world. The objective of JSHC is to fill the lacuna in the field of graduate research given a dearth of independent research by graduate students in India and the absence of funding towards this. The journal hopes to promote originality in interpretation and encourages collaborative work based on primary sources. It also publishes constructive and critical reinterpretations of existing scholarship. Besides seeking high-quality work by graduate students, research scholars and research fellows, it also accepts reviews of recent works of scholarship.

Our first Issue is slated to be published on 30th of September, 2014.

Topics can range from materialist analyses of literary texts, discussions on fundamentalist threats to the libertarian principles of a secular democracy, the survival of traditional theatre in the face of continuous onslaught from city bred cultural trends to comparative morphology of counterculture in post First World War scenarios on a global scale. Moving ahead with a preset theme would have been regressive to our cause of serving as a platform for dialogue and active engagement with the community of emerging scholars all over the world. Even as we stand at the cusp of widespread change and discontent ranging from the Occupy movements, the Arab Spring, the anti-graft movements in India there are also stories like the Nepalese democracy movement moving towards fruitions or the Chilean student movements sending the Vallejos and Borics to their parliament. There is much to rejoice in and at the same time ponder about. Would any of these bring about any changes in the economic foundations of neo-liberal regimes all over the world or would life continue unabated? Were these interim protests all for nothing or are the times about to change? Many such issues which are relevant will hopefully be written upon by scholars who are the future of the academic world. With their intellectual pursuits they would probably intend to connect with a community of scholars worldwide, thinking on similar lines, and perhaps asking similar questions. Hoping to find a space for such research the Journal of Studies in History and Culture invites articles for its first issue which would appear in the latter half of 2014. We would try to incorporate papers dealing with diverse topics, with an interdisciplinary approach. The deadline for submission of manuscripts is 20th August, 2014. All submissions should contain a cover letter and an abstract of no more than 300 words. Authors looking to review books for JSHC should contact the journal with their proposals as unsolicited reviews would normally not be accepted.
