CFP for LASA 2018 (Barcelona): Panel on Art and the transnational memory of the dictatorships in South America

August 14, 2017 by cpreda No Comments
Artistic remembrance is an important part of the memorialization of the dictatorial past. This panel seeks to bring together scholars working on different types of artistic renderings of the past in South America in the aftermath of dictatorships. When dictatorships end, artists continue to discuss the past and question issues that are interesting for the organization of the memory of suffering. We invite proposals that analyze specific cases of artists, different types of political art, with a focus on visual arts. We want to investigate the diversity of approaches of artistic remembrance, from the documentation of the past beyond the official gaze, to the challenging of the continuity in the public life of the perpetrators.
Please send 250 words abstracts by September the 3rd in English or Spanish to Caterina Preda at caterina.preda@fspub.unibuc.ro. Caterina Preda holds a PhD in Political Science and is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Political Science University of Bucharest.
Arte y la memoria transnacional de las dictaduras en América del sur
La memoria artística es una parte importante del proceso de memorialización del pasado dictatorial. Este panel quiere reunir investigadores que trabajan con diferentes tipos de representaciones del pasado en América del sur después de la dictaduras. Cuando las dictaduras terminan, los artistas continúan de hablar sobre el pasado y de cuestionar temas que son interesantes para la gestión de la memoria del sufrimiento. Invitamos ponencias que analizan casos específicos de artistas, diferentes tipos de arte político con un enfoque en los artes visuales. Queremos investigar la diversidad de enfoques de la memoria artística, de la documentación del pasado más allá de la mirada oficial, a la confrontación de la continuidad en la vida publica de los torturadores.

The state artist in Romania and Eastern Europe

May 6, 2016 by cpreda No Comments
Call for Papers for the international conference: The ”state artist” in Romania and Eastern Europe
Faculty of Political Science, University of Bucharest, 5 November 2016
The establishment of communist regimes in Eastern Europe brought for the visual arts, the establishment of the “state artist” (Haraszti). Artworks were commissioned by the state, which offered extensive rewards for the artists, obliged to comply with the political and ideological rigors of the regime. As part of the research project “From the “state artist” to the artist dependent on the state: the case of the Union of Visual Artists (1950-2010) – the Bucharest branch”, this conference seeks to explore the different transformations that the artists underwent in order to comply with the extensive role assumed by the totalitarian state in the arts. We invite contributions on the broad topic announced, that of the state artist in Romania and Eastern Europe with a specific focus on visual arts, but we are also interested to discuss other instances of collaboration with the regimes in place (1950s-1990). The conference aims to discuss the state artist in the context of communist regimes from multiple points of views. The topics discussed could be, but are not limited to:
–      How was the new artist shaped by the communist regimes?
–      Were artists able to integrate Socialist Realism as a mandatory style? If not, which were the limits of this mandatory style or the national specificities?
–      Which were the types of resistance to the model of the state artist?
–      How did Socialist Realism translate in different visual practices?
–      What role did the Union of Visual Artists of Romania play? How does it compare to other unions in the East?
–      What are the transformations of the unions of artists after 1990?

Those interested in presenting a paper should send an abstract of 500 words as well as a short CV (including a short list of publications) to caterinapreda@gmail.com until the 15th of May 2016. A selection of conference presentations will be published in a volume, thus the accepted participants must send their contributions 1 month in advance (1st of October 2016). The contributions must address the topic of the state artist, and must have 8.000 words including footnotes with a separate list of references. Organizing committee: Caterina Preda, Alina Popescu, Dan Drăghia. Place: The Institute for Political Research, Faculty of Political Science, University of Bucharest. The languages of the conferences are Romanian, English, and French.

CFP: Arts during communism

January 21, 2014 by cpreda No Comments
Call For Papers: Arts during communism
This panel wants to discuss different examples of how art was regarded by different communist regimes in communist countries. What kind of art do communist regimes promote? Are there any important differences between Yugoslavia and Poland for example? Do political science typologies serve to understand the types of art created or do other typologies appear? The panel welcomes proposals from all artistic endeavors: visual arts, literature, theater, music, cinema and dance. Papers can deal with a national case as well as advance comparative overviews of the topic.
Please send an abstract of 300 words and a short bio/CV highlighting your most important publications and/or conference presentations to: caterinapreda@ gmail.com
Deadline: 10 February 2014.
