Om Netværket

Nordisk Netværk for Avantgardestudier er et nordisk forskningsnetværk støttet af Nordforsk 2004-2009. I november 2008 blev netværket af NordForsk udnævnt til ”Nordic Research Gem”, et særligt succesrigt forskernetværk. Nordisk Netværk for Avantgarde Studier vil styrke og koordinere mindre og spredte nationale forskningsmiljøer, bidrage til at fremme udveksling af viden om forskelle og ligheder mellem de nordiske lande og gøre nordisk avantgardeforskning internationalt synlig. Nordisk Netværk for Avantgardestudier afholder en årlig konference. Netværket danner også ramme for udarbejdelsen af De nordiske avantgarders kulturhistorie i 4 bind og et elektronisk arkiv for dokumenter fra de nordiske avantgarder. Det nordiske forskningsnetværk er en videreudvikling af det danske forskningsnetværk ”Avantgardernes genkomst og aktualitet” støttet af Det humanistiske Forskningsråd i Danmark 2001-2004. Nordisk Netværk for Avantgardestudier har desuden medvirket til at oprette et Europæisk Netværk for Avantgarde og Modernisme Studier, EAM, hvis første konference blev afholdt i Ghent, Belgien, maj 2008. EAMs anden konference afholdes i Poznan, Polen, 2010.

About the Network

The Nordic Network of Avant-Garde Studies is supported by Nordforsk 2004-2009. In November 2008 The Nordic Network of Avant-Garde Studies was elected as a ”Nordic Research Gem”, an exceptionally succesful research network, by NordForsk. The Nordic Network of Avant-Garde Studies aims to support and coordinate small and dispersed national centres of research, help promote the exchange of knowledge about differences and similarities among the avant-garde currents and research in the Nordic countries, and make Nordic avant-garde research visible in a European and international context. The Nordic Network of Avant-Garde Studies has a yearly conference. Within the Network an editorial group is preparing a four-volume Cultural History of the Nordic Avant-Gardes and an electronic archive of documents from the Nordic avant-gardes. The Nordic network is an extension of the Danish research network ”The Return and Actuality of the Avant-Gardes” supported by the Danish Research Council 2001-2004. The Nordic Network of Avant-Garde Studies has initiated a European Network of Avant-Garde and Modernism Studies, EAM, which had its first conference in Ghent, Belgium, in May 2008. The second EAM conference will take place in Poznan, Poland, in 2010.

Nordisk nettverk for avantgardestudier utgir i disse dager første bind av pionerverket A Cultural History of the Avant-Garde in the Nordic Countries. Vagants Ragnild Lome har snakket med redaktør og koordinator Tania Ørum.

 

« Fra mellomkrigstida kan vi se hvordan de avantgardistiske strømningene blir tatt opp i den nordiske kulturpolitikken. Avantgarden inspirerer den moderniseringen som kommer til å kjennetegne Skandinavia i disse årene. Man kan selvfølgelig diskutere om dette er et uttrykk for at avantgardebevegelsene slår bredt gjennom, eller om det betyr at de blir ufarliggjort.»

 

Fredag i forrige uke ble Sofi Oksanen tildelt Svenska Akademiens prestisjefylte nordiske pris for sitt forfatterskap. I årets første nummer av Vagant, som slippes 16. april, ser Joni Hyvönen nærmere på Oksanens romankunst. I bladet kan man også lese om Timothy Garton Ash, som de tre siste tiårene har skrevet europeisk «nåtidshistorie», samt en rikholdig jubileumsavdeling som kaster nytt lys over Vagants spede begynnelse.

Some years ago the growing scholarly interest in avant-garde studies led to the formation of The Nordic Network of Avant-Garde Studies as a forum for attempts to map the cultural influence of the aesthetic avant-gardes in the Nordic countries (mainly Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden). Part of this project is the writing of a four volume Cultural History of the Avant-Gardes in the Nordic Countries. The first volume dealing with the years 1900-1925 will be published by Rodopi in spring 2013 (see attachment for a list of the around 30 contributions). The editors of this history now call for papers to a conference dealing with the history, culture, aesthetics, and politics of the avant-gardes in the Nordic countries in the period 1925-1950. Our hope is that most papers can be re-written and published as contributions to the second volume of the series, A Cultural History of the Avant-Gardes in the Nordic Countries 1925-1950.

CFP:The European artistic avant-garde c. 1910-30: formations, networks and trans-national strategies


A three-day interdisciplinary symposium is organized by Art History, Södertörn University, 11- 13 September 2013. Attention will be given to the avant-gardes of the period c. 1910-1930 across Europe, with a certain focus on those of the Nordic Countries, Central and Eastern Europe, and their orientation to the Parisian avant-garde.

Keynote speakers:
Professor David Cottington (Kingston University, London)
Professor Piotr Piotrowski (Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznan)
Venues: Södertörn University and Moderna Museet, Stockholm

At a time when modernist art history of the early avant-garde is urgently questioned from different positions, an exploration of theoretical tools for the study of the early avant-garde and its transnational strategies is needed, as well as a mapping of the research within the field that is now developing in different parts of Europe. This symposium is intended as a starting-point for such (a) collective project (s).

CFP: MSA 15: Modernism and the Commons

How can modernism help us theorize aspects of the “commons” (culture as a commons, life-in-common, the multitude, etc.) and what might the concept of the commons contribute to our understanding of modernism? 

We are interested in papers that touch on modernist enclosures of the commons (e.g., aggressive assertions of copyright and the implications thereof) as well as modernist contributions to theorizing the commons, the “common reader,” or community. Potential topics range therefore from the cultural economy of modernism, the “common reader,” copyright and intellectual property, the general intellect, the multitude, knowledge work and immaterial labor, among others. 

Papers that cross national, historic, generic or disciplinary boundaries are welcome, as are digital humanities papers/projects on modernist archives/texts/artifacts in relation to creative commons, the public domain and open access. 

Note: remove the [ ] around the @ in the email address below when sending an abstract!

CFP: The Avant-Gardes in the Nordic Countries 1925-1950: History, Culture and Aesthetics, 3-4 October 2013

Some years ago the growing scholarly interest in avant-garde studies led to the formation of The Nordic Network of Avant-Garde Studies as a forum for attempts to map the cultural in-fluence of the aesthetic avant-gardes in the Nordic countries (mainly Denmark, Finland, Ice-land, Norway and Sweden). Part of this project is the writing of a four volume Cultural Histo-ry of the Avant-Gardes in the Nordic Countries. The first volume dealing with the years 1900-1925 will be published by Rodopi in spring 2013 (see attachment for a list of the around 30 contributions). The editors of this history now call for papers to a conference dealing with the history, culture, aesthetics, and politics of the avant-gardes in the Nordic countries in the period 1925-1950. Our hope is that most papers can be re-written and published as contri-butions to the second volume of the series, A Cultural History of the Avant-Gardes in the Nordic Countries 1925-1950.

Blue Mountain Project

The Princeton University Library is pleased to announce the launch of the Blue Mountain Project, an open-access digital thematic research collection of avant-garde art, music and literary periodicals (1848-1923). Drawing together rare material from Princeton’s Art, Music and Rare Books libraries, the Blue Mountain Project will provide high-quality digital images as well as full-text searching, deep indexing of content, detailed metadata and descriptive essays to a broad audience.

 

With generous support from the NEH, the Blue Mountain Project will make 34 titles available over the next two years. A full list of these periodicals – which are in English, German, French, Danish, Dutch, Hungarian, Czech and Russian – can be found on the Blue Mountain project page: http://library.princeton.edu/projects/bluemountain.

 

Please check the website periodically as we make the journals available, and visit our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/BlueMountainProject) or subscribe to our Twitter feed (@bmtnproj) for news and updates about Blue Mountain progress.

 

Scholars interested in using Blue Mountain materials are encouraged to contact us for collaboration. We will hold a conference at Princeton in Fall 2013, bringing together researchers, curators, librarians and technologists to discuss methods of research and teaching with digitized periodicals.

Camilla Skovbjerg Paldam: Surrealistiske collager - Underfulde billeder i kunst og litteratur

undefinedSurrealismen er en af de avantgardebevægelser, der bliver ved med at drage og fascinere, selvom den har snart 100 år på bagen. Målet med denne bog er at give en indføring i de væsentligste sider af surrealismen gennem et fokus på surrealistisk collage i både litteratur og billedkunst.

Bogens primære eksempler er forfatteren Louis Aragons (1897-1982) tekstuelle collager og Max Ernsts (1891-1976) visuelle collager, som man ved selvsyn kunne se på Louisianas imponerende Max Ernst udstilling i 2009. Mange andre eksempler vil løbende blive inddraget, herunder værker af bl.a. Salvador Dalí (1904-1989), René Magritte (1898-1967), André Breton (1896-1966) og Hans Bellmer (1902-1975). Surrealismen ændrede sig en del efter 2. verdenskrig, hvor centrale dele af bevægelsen var taget til USA, og bogen koncentrerer sig om perioden 1919-1939, hvor bevægelsen udspringer og udvikles i Paris.
 

Notes on Conceptualisms: a dialogue between Vanessa Place and Tania Ørum

undefined

The following dialogue was composed partially in-person and partially via e-mail. The initial conversation was a symposium held at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts between Tania Ørum and Vanessa Place, on the occassion of the Danish publication of Noter om konceptualismer (Notes on Conceptualisms). As this conversation was the impetus for the series, it made good sense to start here.

LITERARY TRANSCENDENCES

 7-8 October 2010, University of Tampere, Finland

Keynote speakers of the conference include: *Kevin Hart* (Edwin B. Kyle Professor of Christian Studies, University of Virginia) and *Shira Wolosky* (Professor of American Studies and English Literature, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem)

In the wake of the “immanent turns” in philosophy and cultural studies in the 1970s and 1980s transcendence was deemed a relic and a hierarchical concept that established false authority and even spiritual tyranny. In recent years thinkers in diverse fields have turned to transcendence again: not in order to rehabilitate but to rearticulate ‘transcendence’ as a concept for epistemological, literary and aesthetic criticism. It seems that philosophies of all-inclusive immanence repeat the same hegemonic mistakes for which thinkers of transcendence were previously criticised. Hence immanence needs to be radically revised and cracked open—not in order to establish other worlds or any deeper realities with their paramount Others, but so as to reveal ontological and epistemological blind spots unattainable by means of ordinary language and thought.

LE LIVRE D’ARTISTE : QUELS PROJETS POUR L’ART ?

Organisé par l’université de Rennes 2 Haute Bretagne en collaboration avec l’université de Paris I – Panthéon-Sorbonne

À Rennes, les 18, 19 et 20 mars 2010

Le livre d’artiste est une forme récente de la création où l’artiste utilise le support du livre pour produire une œuvre à part entière. Sous l’apparence inoffensive d’un livre ordinaire, souvent modeste, il cherche à intervenir dans le champ des idées et des concepts plutôt qu’à exhiber le raffinement de sa forme graphique et éditoriale.
