CFP: The Avant-Gardes in the Nordic Countries 1925-1950: History, Culture and Aesthetics, 3-5 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 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.
Practical information and deadline for application
The conference will take place at Copenhagen University from 3-5 October.
During these days we plan to present and discuss around 30 papers. Each paper will have 20 min-utes of presentation followed by 10 minutes discussion, i.e. 3 papers in a 1½ hour session.
The conference fee will be 1000 DKK, covering coffee/tea, lunches and a conference dinner.
We will help you book a hotel room if you wish and will provide further information about local travel, location and other practical details.
Arrival and departure: The conference will start by midday Thursday 3 October and end by mid-day Saturday 5 October, so conference participants can arrive in Copenhagen Thursday morning and depart Saturday afternoon.
The conference language is English. All participants should submit a title and a 2-300 word ab-stract before 2 April 2013. Abstracts should be sent to avantgarde@hum.ku.dk. Questions regarding the conference may be sent to this address as well or to a member of the organizing committee.
