TRANSFORMING BODIES CONFERENCE
Cornell University, April 21-22, 2017
Presented by the Early Modern Conversions project and Cornell University
In this conference, we propose to explore the centrality of bodies to concepts and practices of conversion in the early modern world. How are bodies – animal, human, vegetal, epistemological – transformed by these concepts and practices, and how do they transform the concepts and practices by their material and virtual presences, by their own performances and practices of conversion, by their resistance to metaphysical and ontological interpretation? This Call for Papers seeks work that crosses disciplinary boundaries even as it questions the boundaries imposed by various knowledge systems on a wide range of bodies. Topics will include, but are not limited to: virtual and corporate bodies as artifacts of conversion; race and conversion; transgender bodies; bodies performing conversion; animality; beauty and seduction; bodies of knowledge; corporeal ecologies; vegetation and bodies of land and water; and monstrous/ magical/ witchlike bodies.
Please send presentation proposals to conversion.iplai@mcgill.ca by 30 September, 2016. Proposals should be approximately 250 words in length and should provide a brief explanation of how the proposed paper or session relates to the aims of the conference. An adjudication committee will review all submissions and arrive at a decision by early December 2016.
Conversions project members may apply to the Collaboration Fund for travel support. See here for details: http://earlymodernconversions.com/projectadmin/collaboration-fund/

24–26 октября 2016 года в Санкт-Петербурге состоится девятая международная научная конференция из цикла «История сталинизма». Тема конференции 2016 года «Культура и власть в СССР. 1920-е – 1950-е гг.».
Девятая конференция из цикла «История сталинизма» посвящена важному этапу развития советской культуры, связанному с утверждением сталинского авторитарного режима. Характерными чертами культурной жизни этого периода было ее жесткое партийно-государственное регулирование, репрессии против интеллигенции и идеологический контроль. Одновременно происходило стремительное распространение культуры вширь, связанное, прежде всего, с целенаправленной политикой советской власти в сфере образования.
Исследования отдельных феноменов советской культуры сталинского периода и общих тенденций ее развития и изменений особенно активизировались в последние десятилетия в связи с открытием новых архивных фондов и актуализаций таких направлений историографии, как культурная и социальная история.
Задача конференции – подвести некоторые итоги этого историографического сдвига и обсудить перспективы дальнейших исследований. Наряду с актуальными для советского опыта вопросами государственного регулирования культуры, цензуры и репрессий против творческой интеллигенции на конференции предполагается проанализировать результаты культурного развития СССР, создания и освоения новых культурных ценностей, рассмотреть творческие и административные практики в профессиональных сообществах деятелей культуры.
Для рассмотрения намечаются следующие комплексные проблемы:
Государственное руководство культурой. Структуры, идеология и культурная политика;
Советская интеллигенция и власть;
Творческие союзы как инструмент государственного руководства культурой;
Феномен культурного нонконформизма и власть;
Массовое образование и массовая культура;
Изменение культурной политики в 1950-60-е гг.
К участию в конференции приглашаются специалисты, которые исследуют намеченные вопросы в рамках советской истории и стран Центральной и Восточной Европы, а также в сравнительной перспективе.
Рабочий язык конференции – русский.
По итогам конференции планируется издание научного сборника материалов в рамках серии «История сталинизма. Дебаты».
Для участия в конференции необходимо до 5 сентября 2016 года включительно представить в Оргкомитет заявку и краткие тезисы доклада (до 2000 знаков). В заявке необходимо указать фамилию, имя, отчество, место работы и должность, ученую степень, контактные данные (электронная почта, городской и мобильный телефоны), название доклада. Оргкомитет оставляет за собой право отбора докладов.

Call for Expressions of Interest: Learned societies and the circulation
of knowledge, 1750-2000
Are you interested in the history of the publications of a learned
society or national academy – or do you know someone who is? We are
planning to seek funding for a research network to compare the roles of
different learned societies and national academies in the circulation of
knowledge. From our own work on Britain and Sweden, we know that
societies and academies have long been key players in the publication
and circulation of research (especially in journals); and that these
institutions typically organised their publishing operations in a manner
quite different from that of the regular publishing trade. Societies and
academies were motivated by a variety of non-financial goals, such as
institutional reputation, national glory and the allegedly disinterested
advancement of scholarship; and they used distribution methods that were
quite distinct from those of the regular trade, such as gift programmes
and institutional exchanges. In these days of debates about Open Access,
and the growing desire to create a sustainable, non-profit-driven model
for academic publishing, it seems appropriate to take a closer look at
the ways in which learned societies and academies managed this in the past.
We seek collaborators with knowledge of the publishing programmes of
other scholarly institutions, in Europe or elsewhere; and we are
particularly interested in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries (say,
1750 onwards). Our hope is to acquire funding for a couple of research
workshops in 2017 and 2018, where we can compare the experiences of
different countries and institutions, and consider changes over time. We
are not (currently) intending to seek major funding to support new
research, so we are looking for people who already know something about
learned societies and their publications.
Issues we would like to investigate include:
• How was the production managed? (Did the academy have a printing press
in the basement? Or did it contract with a local bookseller? Did it have
special printing privileges?)
• What type of publication(s) did the institution produce (format,
periodicity), carrying what type of content (preliminary results,
lengthy papers, letters, news, reviews)?
• How was the editorial process managed? (By a sole editor or a
committee? Seeking referees’ opinions in person, or in writing, or not
at all? Did fellows/members of the institution have special access to
the journal?)
• How were the publications circulated, in what numbers, and to where?
(Through the book trade? Free to fellows/members? Donated to educational
institutions? Exchanged with libraries of other academies? Locally,
nationally or internationally?)
• How was the publishing programme supported financially? (By members’
fees or the institutional endowment? By government grants or industrial
donors? By sales?)
• Were there other ways in which the societies and academies promoted
the circulation of knowledge? (e.g. by facilitating correspondence
between scholars, thanks to state-granted postal privileges? Or by
negotiating exemptions from customs import duties on international
scientific journals and correspondence?)
If you are potentially interested in being involved in this project,
please get in touch with us before August 31. You are very welcome to
forward or cross-post this message, or to suggest people we should contact.
We also hope to include representatives of contemporary society/academy
publishing programmes, so suggestions of suitable individuals (and an
indication of why their perspective would be valuable) would also be
appreciated.

TRANSFORMING BODIES CONFERENCE
Cornell University, April 21-22, 2017
Presented by the Early Modern Conversions project and Cornell University
In this conference, we propose to explore the centrality of bodies to concepts and practices of conversion in the early modern world. How are bodies – animal, human, vegetal, epistemological – transformed by these concepts and practices, and how do they transform the concepts and practices by their material and virtual presences, by their own performances and practices of conversion, by their resistance to metaphysical and ontological interpretation? This Call for Papers seeks work that crosses disciplinary boundaries even as it questions the boundaries imposed by various knowledge systems on a wide range of bodies. Topics will include, but are not limited to: virtual and corporate bodies as artifacts of conversion; race and conversion; transgender bodies; bodies performing conversion; animality; beauty and seduction; bodies of knowledge; corporeal ecologies; vegetation and bodies of land and water; and monstrous/ magical/ witchlike bodies.
Please send presentation proposals to conversion.iplai@mcgill.ca by 30 September, 2016. Proposals should be approximately 250 words in length and should provide a brief explanation of how the proposed paper or session relates to the aims of the conference. An adjudication committee will review all submissions and arrive at a decision by early December 2016.
Conversions project members may apply to the Collaboration Fund for travel support. See here for details: http://earlymodernconversions.com/projectadmin/collaboration-fund/

24–26 октября 2016 года в Санкт-Петербурге состоится девятая международная научная конференция из цикла «История сталинизма». Тема конференции 2016 года «Культура и власть в СССР. 1920-е – 1950-е гг.».
Девятая конференция из цикла «История сталинизма» посвящена важному этапу развития советской культуры, связанному с утверждением сталинского авторитарного режима. Характерными чертами культурной жизни этого периода было ее жесткое партийно-государственное регулирование, репрессии против интеллигенции и идеологический контроль. Одновременно происходило стремительное распространение культуры вширь, связанное, прежде всего, с целенаправленной политикой советской власти в сфере образования.
Исследования отдельных феноменов советской культуры сталинского периода и общих тенденций ее развития и изменений особенно активизировались в последние десятилетия в связи с открытием новых архивных фондов и актуализаций таких направлений историографии, как культурная и социальная история.
Задача конференции – подвести некоторые итоги этого историографического сдвига и обсудить перспективы дальнейших исследований. Наряду с актуальными для советского опыта вопросами государственного регулирования культуры, цензуры и репрессий против творческой интеллигенции на конференции предполагается проанализировать результаты культурного развития СССР, создания и освоения новых культурных ценностей, рассмотреть творческие и административные практики в профессиональных сообществах деятелей культуры.
Для рассмотрения намечаются следующие комплексные проблемы:
Государственное руководство культурой. Структуры, идеология и культурная политика;
Советская интеллигенция и власть;
Творческие союзы как инструмент государственного руководства культурой;
Феномен культурного нонконформизма и власть;
Массовое образование и массовая культура;
Изменение культурной политики в 1950-60-е гг.
К участию в конференции приглашаются специалисты, которые исследуют намеченные вопросы в рамках советской истории и стран Центральной и Восточной Европы, а также в сравнительной перспективе.
Рабочий язык конференции – русский.
По итогам конференции планируется издание научного сборника материалов в рамках серии «История сталинизма. Дебаты».
Для участия в конференции необходимо до 5 сентября 2016 года включительно представить в Оргкомитет заявку и краткие тезисы доклада (до 2000 знаков). В заявке необходимо указать фамилию, имя, отчество, место работы и должность, ученую степень, контактные данные (электронная почта, городской и мобильный телефоны), название доклада. Оргкомитет оставляет за собой право отбора докладов.

Call for Expressions of Interest: Learned societies and the circulation
of knowledge, 1750-2000
Are you interested in the history of the publications of a learned
society or national academy – or do you know someone who is? We are
planning to seek funding for a research network to compare the roles of
different learned societies and national academies in the circulation of
knowledge. From our own work on Britain and Sweden, we know that
societies and academies have long been key players in the publication
and circulation of research (especially in journals); and that these
institutions typically organised their publishing operations in a manner
quite different from that of the regular publishing trade. Societies and
academies were motivated by a variety of non-financial goals, such as
institutional reputation, national glory and the allegedly disinterested
advancement of scholarship; and they used distribution methods that were
quite distinct from those of the regular trade, such as gift programmes
and institutional exchanges. In these days of debates about Open Access,
and the growing desire to create a sustainable, non-profit-driven model
for academic publishing, it seems appropriate to take a closer look at
the ways in which learned societies and academies managed this in the past.
We seek collaborators with knowledge of the publishing programmes of
other scholarly institutions, in Europe or elsewhere; and we are
particularly interested in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries (say,
1750 onwards). Our hope is to acquire funding for a couple of research
workshops in 2017 and 2018, where we can compare the experiences of
different countries and institutions, and consider changes over time. We
are not (currently) intending to seek major funding to support new
research, so we are looking for people who already know something about
learned societies and their publications.
Issues we would like to investigate include:
• How was the production managed? (Did the academy have a printing press
in the basement? Or did it contract with a local bookseller? Did it have
special printing privileges?)
• What type of publication(s) did the institution produce (format,
periodicity), carrying what type of content (preliminary results,
lengthy papers, letters, news, reviews)?
• How was the editorial process managed? (By a sole editor or a
committee? Seeking referees’ opinions in person, or in writing, or not
at all? Did fellows/members of the institution have special access to
the journal?)
• How were the publications circulated, in what numbers, and to where?
(Through the book trade? Free to fellows/members? Donated to educational
institutions? Exchanged with libraries of other academies? Locally,
nationally or internationally?)
• How was the publishing programme supported financially? (By members’
fees or the institutional endowment? By government grants or industrial
donors? By sales?)
• Were there other ways in which the societies and academies promoted
the circulation of knowledge? (e.g. by facilitating correspondence
between scholars, thanks to state-granted postal privileges? Or by
negotiating exemptions from customs import duties on international
scientific journals and correspondence?)
If you are potentially interested in being involved in this project,
please get in touch with us before August 31. You are very welcome to
forward or cross-post this message, or to suggest people we should contact.
We also hope to include representatives of contemporary society/academy
publishing programmes, so suggestions of suitable individuals (and an
indication of why their perspective would be valuable) would also be
appreciated.
