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.

Phd position

PhD Researcher (f/m) - ABV201251

This full-time PhD position (max. 4 years), created to study the modernist writer's speech in Germany as a genre, is launched by M.D.R.N. M.D.R.N. is a large-scale K.U.Leuven-based research project (GOA) that focuses on the multifaceted nature of literature during the first half of the twentieth century. M.D.R.N. looks at the many ways in which literature between 1900-1950 defined and legitimized itself in the main Western European traditions (English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Dutch) and canvasses literature's multiple functions, histories and mediatizations. The project has a double aim: to further our understanding of writing in the modernist period, and, more generally, to develop a multidimensional and functionalist approach to the dynamic identity of modern Western European literature.

CFP - Ding, ding, ting: Objects as cultural mediators. German, Dutch and Nordic language areas

The conference will link two theoretical traditions: the theory of cultural transfer and Material Culture Studies. The former was elaborated by Michel Espagne and Michael Werner [Espagne/ Werner, 1988] in the 1980s, and has since been pursued in various directions (histoire croisée or ‘entangled history’, research on circulation, interculturality and hybridization) [Engel/ Gutjahr/ Braungart, 2003; Suppanz, 2003]. The latter is a heterogenic theoretical trend developed as a part of Culture Studies in the English speaking world from the 1970s on. Turning away from an approach consisting of an “accumulation of material” [Espagne, 1999: 7] which it considers as being empiricist, Cultural transfer studies concentrate on the analysis, in written sources, of the part played by the discourses and concepts borrowed from other cultures in the “formation of national cultural traditions” [6]. Conversely, works belonging to Material Culture Studies focus more and more on the everyday history of a given culture, and often deal with the question of the role of the other in the formation of collective identities through the prism of research on colonized territories [Gustafsson Reinius, 2008]. As such, they are dependent on their original bonds with scientific disciplines such as ethnology or anthropology. Our intention is therefore to build a theory of cultural transfer through a “bottom-up” approach, starting from sources either of an essentially material nature, or in which the thematization of objects is of prime importance, and to apply the theories of Material Culture Studies to a transnational european field.
 
To what extent are material things borrowed? How does their appropriation influence the formation of national cultural traditions in the Nordic, Germanic and Dutch-speaking areas?

CFP - CONFERENCE ON CHILDREN'S LITERATURE AND EUROPEAN AVANT-GARDE

Norsk avantgarde – en innledning

Det har ikke eksistert noen bok om norsk avantgarde, en mangel i norsk forskning som har utgjort drivkraften bak denne utgivelsen. Redaksjonen har latt seg inspirere av den seneste tidens utvikling av avantgardeteori. En rekke prosjekter og publikasjoner har bidratt til økt kunnskap om nordisk avantgarde og dens forbindelseslinjer til avantgarder i andre land. Dette har resultert i en større forståelse av avantgardens betydning i samfunnet, og vi har fått flere redskaper og termer for å beskrive dette. Men mens det har blitt skrevet mye om de svenske og danske avantgardene, har norsk avantgarde aldri fått den samme oppmerksomheten. Det har sågar ofte blitt hevdet at det overhodet ikke finnes noe slikt som norsk avantgarde. Dette provoserte oss. Redaksjonen hadde derfor et sterkt og brennende ønske om å ta tak i denne situasjonen og gjøre noe med det.
Vi mener at norsk avantgarde finnes, og at det også skulle være mulig å skrive en bok om det. Antologien Norsk avantgarde utgjør derfor en første kartlegging av dette foranderlige feltet. Vi har ambisjoner om at den norske forskningen skal posisjonere seg i den nordiske og internasjonale forskningsfronten som har vokst fram det siste årtiet. Samtidig ønsker vi også å skape økt allmenn bevissthet om det tjuende og tjueførste århundrets norske avantgardepraksiser. Ikke minst håper vi å inspirere til videre undersøkelser av norsk avantgarde, vekselvirkninger mellom norsk kunst- og kulturliv og de europeiske avantgardene og neoavantgardene, og hvordan dette kan sees i en større, global kontekst. Boken er derfor laget både som en antologi med fokuserte studier av norsk avantgardegrupperinger og -individer, og med en rik eksemplifisering på andre forfatter, kunstnere og artister som fortjener at få oppmerksomhet i kommende studier – studier som vi håper denne boka kan initiere.

CFP: Cultural Identities in Newsreel Cinema after 1945

(Lausanne, 22-24 Nov 12)
Lausanne, Switzerland, November 22 - 24, 2012
Deadline: 01.11.2011

Constructions of Cultural Identities in Newsreel Cinema after 1945
Not least due its function as a tool of propaganda during the two World Wars, the production of newsreels after 1945 commanded a large arsenal of stylistic and technological means as well as skilled people. Although the period immediately after WWII proved to initiate the last phase within which the newsreel was being produced, the genre kept its importance as a decisive audiovisual mass medium by being an important tool in the development and shaping of politico-cultural public spheres up to the 1960s.

The main focus of the planned conference will lie on the analysis of the role of the newsreel as a medium for the formation of cultural identities in a variety of national contexts after 1945. Special attention is paid to newsreels that thematize cultural and artistic topics, respectively, which demonstrate strategies for the construction of a shared identity.
 

Material Meanings

Third Biannual Conference of the European Network for Avant-Garde and Modernism Studies (EAM)
7-9 September 2012
University of Kent, Canterbury, England

 

 

This conference investigates the avant-garde's reconfiguration of matter and materials in the quest to generate new meanings and effects.

 

Its particular focus will be the manner in which different artistic disciplines adopt strategies, theories and techniques from each other, and how they translate, transform and integrate conceptions and modes of expression from other sign systems.

 

 

Proposals are invited for contributions which deal with any of the following: the interference or conflict of artistic disciplines; the interaction of disciplines in artistic movements; the combination of media in single artworks or artistic practices; the treatment of sign as matter and matter as sign; the materiality of art and the art of materiality; art and material environment; the world as matter and meaning; text as thing, things as texts; the transfiguration of traditional or found materials; the material effectivity of the avant-garde; the interdependency of manifestos (meaning) and art (material); technology and the transformation of meaning; the incorporation of the foreign or extraneous.

 

 

We welcome contributions across all areas of avant-garde activity: art, literature, music, architecture, film, artistic and social movements, lifestyle, television, fashion, drama, performance, activism, design and technology. We especially welcome contributions which explore the combination of different media or practices within a single work or within a given environment.

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.
