From 23.09.-25.09.2024 CENTRAL network will host international conference “Imagining Central Europe. (Re-)Shaping a Geopolitical Concept in Literature, Visual Arts, and Popular Culture”, co-organised by Assoz.-Prof. Paula Wojcik, Prof. Dr. Alfrun Kliems and Dr. Anna Seidel at the University of Vienna.

 

The conference is held to mark the network’s 10th anniversary. It aims to critically continue the discourse on Central Europe in the cultural sciences and the humanities. At the same time, the conference updates it by addressing current media and political transformation processes from an explicitly interdisciplinary perspective.

 

In a keynote lecture by Prof. (emer.) Dr. Dr. h.c. Aleida Assmann and five panel sessions with speakers from diverse fields of Central European Cultural and Media Studies, we will explore old and new perspectives in the studies of Central European arts, culture and media. A diverse social program will solidify new networks and discourses. It includes cultural events, such as a City Drift that will bring the participants closer to the concrete ‘Central Europeanness’ of the host city. In the Central European Culture Salon, we bring together scholars, artists, editors and bloggers whose work is centered geographically and thematically in Central Europe. Finally, we will organize an Open Space Workshop during which we will wrap-up the results of the conference and create a foundation for future scientific cooperation. The workshop will be open to registered participants (online and on-site) and will give them the opportunity to create thematic working groups and plans of action, both of which they can establish in a self-organized and self-responsible manner. To give young scholars an even larger platform, we plan to hold an Elevator Pitch Event, during which ten PhD students will be given the opportunity to introduce their projects in short presentations and get feedback.

 

The conference is open to registered participants (no conference fee). You can participate in the conference both on-site and online (via Zoom). If you would like to participate, please register and specify whether you will attend online or on-site. Visit the conference website for further information: centraleurope.univie.ac.at
