For the project Alevi Archive: Ethnohistory of Alevi Communities in Anatolia, 16th–20th Century we announce the following positions:

The project will reconstruct the only scarcely explored ethnohistory of the Alevis in Anatolia, focusing on the period from the 16th to the 20th century. It will examine settlement dynamics and the processes of community-building among Alevi groups, as well as their complex relationships with the state, Sunni Muslims, and non-Muslims. Combining a range of methods based on previously unconnected sources—including Ottoman archives, Alevi manuscripts, oral traditions, and material culture—a comprehensive virtual research environment will be developed. This environment will enable the reconstruction of the development of Alevi communities within the context of Ottoman social and religious history from the Early Modern Period to the Modern Era.

Call for Applications: CEST Summer School– University of Turin, 24–31 Aug. 2025

The 2025 CEST Summer School explores the politics of culture wars—deep-seated ideological conflicts over values, identity, and social norms that divide societies along political, religious, or cultural lines. Our goal is to bring together junior academics and PhD candidates examining the intersection of culture, politics, and society in Turkey, including its diasporas and related communities in neighboring countries.
We welcome research exploring transnational, national, and local dimensions, with a particular focus on state policies, municipal interventions, and oppositional initiatives. We especially encourage comparative scholars who examine Turkey alongside other cases where culture plays a central role in state-led autocratization, conservative pushbacks, ‘anti-woke’ discourses, and far-right politics—particularly those analyzing sites of resistance and opposition.

The Summer School seeks to explore both the construction and impact of authoritarian cultural policies. On one side, we see the rise of a conservative-nationalist cultural hegemony—encapsulated in Turkey by the slogan yerli ve milli (local and national/Islamic). On the other, we witness the suppression of dissenting cultural expressions and attacks on progressive politics. At the same time, counter-movements emerge from opposition municipalities, liberal upper-middle-class art institutions, the Kurdish movement, and left-wing liberal and socialist groups. These actors challenge authoritarian cultural policies through artistic production, the creation of alternative institutions, public contestation, disruption, and transnational collaborations. Beyond the binary of state versus resistance, we also seek to explore groups operating in more ambiguous spaces, such as non-establishment Islamic formations, women’s village theatre troupes, or trade unions’ cultural initiatives.
Our approach is interdisciplinary, drawing from political science, international relations, history, sociology, anthropology, cultural studies, museum studies, gender and queer studies, as well as migration, diaspora, and religious studies. We particularly welcome qualitative, in-depth, and ‘politics and society from below’ approaches.

We invite scholars whose work engage with a broad spectrum of cultural fields, from state policies on music, theatre, and literature to contested spaces in museums, religious infrastructures, TV series, and gender politics within Turkey and its transnational spheres of influence. Comparative studies that place Turkey in dialogue with other contexts are also encouraged.

Please submit your application as a single PDF file to summercest2025@gmail.com by April 6, 2025. Add the subject line: “CEST 2025 Application – [Your Name].” Your application must include:
Letter of motivation (max. 2 single-spaced pages),
Summary of your work in progress (500 words),
Short CV (1 page), including contact details for two referees who may be contacted for references,
Full CV (3–4 pages),
Draft paper (4,000–8,000 words) relevant to the Summer School theme (this may be a thesis chapter, a draft for publication, or a research paper you wish to develop).
Indication of previous participation in a CEST event (if relevant).

Objectives of the Summer School
The Summer School has three key objectives:
– To bring together junior scholars from Turkey and other European countries for an in-depth theoretical and empirical engagement with cultural politics in Turkey, as well as with global trends concerning the centrality of culture in the rise of authoritarian politics.
– To provide participants with opportunities to engage with leading scholars in the field, fostering academic dialogue, mentorship, and potential collaborations.
– To support participants in developing essential academic skills in critical social and area studies, including critical thinking, writing and publishing strategies, presentation techniques, and research funding applications.

Program Overview
The Summer School will take place from 24–31 August 2025 at the University of Turin, Department of Cultures, Politics and Society. The program will include:
– Daily lectures and seminars by leading scholars on various aspects of cultural politics,
– Structured discussions on participants’ research,
– Practical sessions on research funding and academic presentation skills.
– Participants will be expected to prepare two presentations of their research in progress:
– A 7-minute presentation for the plenary session,
– A 20-minute research presentation for their working group.
– Application Process

PhD candidates and junior academics (within five years of completing their PhD) whose research closely aligns with the Summer School’s theme are invited to apply. The selection committee may also consider applications from advanced MA students if their research is highly relevant to the program.

Appel à publication : Südost-Forschungen International Journal of History and Culture of Southeastern Europe

The submission deadline for volume 83 is 30 June 2024, for volume 84 30 November 2024.

If you have any questions or wish to submit a manuscript, please get in touch with Dr. Peter Mario Kreuter (kreuter@ios-regensburg.de).

Edited by the Leibniz Institute for East and Southeast European Studies (IOS), Regensburg, Germany

Main editors: Ulf Brunnbauer, Konrad Clewing

Südost-Forschungen invites scholars to submit contributions from all areas of the history of Southeastern Europe for its two upcoming issues (volumes 83 and 84).

Südost-Forschungen is one of the oldest periodical publications on the history of Southeastern Europe. Its first volume appeared in 1936, and the journal, which appears as a yearbook, has since developed into one of the leading publishing organs of German and international research
on the history of Southeastern Europe. For the coming year, Südost-Forschungen plans to switch from one yearbook to two issues per year.

Südost-Forschungen is committed to a broad and interdisciplinary approach to history and publishes on topics ranging from political issues and cultural, linguistic, and art history to economic and social history, historical geography, and the history of religion. The journal
endeavours to cover the region’s history from the Byzantine era to contemporary history. Part of the journal’s mission is to present research from the region to an international audience, thus serving as a platform for excellent regional scholarship. This objective is also reflected in the
journal’s extensive review section, in which numerous works in the languages of the region are discussed.

After preliminary consideration by the editorial team, contributions submitted to Südost-Forschungen will undergo a double-blind process by two peer reviewers. The journal accepts manuscripts in German, English, and French. While most research articles are stand-alone
papers, the journal also invites submissions for a special thematic section, which usually consists of three to four research articles linked by an overarching theme.

The maximum length of articles is 10,000 words (including notes). In addition to research articles, the journal accepts detailed review articles and reflections on current research trends and the region’s historiography (in the section “Aus der Südosteuropa-Forschung”).
Occasionally, the journal publishes edited sources and commentaries.

Further information on the journal as well as submission guidelines can be found at https://www.ios-regensburg.de/en/ios-publications/journals/southeastern-research.html

AG GDR Connaissance de l’Europe médiane 29 juin

Le GDR 3607 Connaissance de l’Europe médiane a été renouvelé au 1er janvier de cette année pour cinq années. Afin de renforcer les synergies entre tous les spécialistes de SHS travaillant sur l’Europe médiane, le Comité de pilotage a décidé de la tenue d’une Assemblée Générale ouverte à tous les intéressé(e)s.

Elle se tiendra le jeudi 29 juin, de 12h30 à 15h en salle 0.015 du
bâtiment Recherche Sud du Campus Condorcet à Aubervilliers.             Un moment convivial avec un verre de l’amitié conclura nos échanges.

L’objectif de cette Assemblée générale est que chacun puisse contribuer aux réflexions et activités du GDR en faisant toute proposition lui semblant pertinente. Les contributions des nouveaux arrivants seront bienvenues. Le GDR est l’instrument de tous. C’est le sens du bilan et des orientations proposées et validées par la direction de l’Institut national des SHS du CNRS. Les trois thèmes fédérateurs de recherche retenus sont :

# Circulation et Europe médiane

# L’Europe médiane : un outil pour penser les sociétés dans des cadres
étatiques peu stables, entre marge et centre, attraction et répulsion

# Violence-instrument et violence-message : une « autre » Europe ?

Enfin un axe méthodologique complète notre démarche :

# Passerelle linguistique et accès élargi aux corpus textuels

Nos discussions à l’AG du 29 juin incluront donc les points suivants :

# Brève présentation des orientations du GDR et de son positionnement.

# Propositions de séminaires communs, ou autres manifestations à
envisager (n’hésitez pas à nous faire des propositions).

# Notre organisation et le programme de travail de l’année universitaire 2023-2024.

Balkanologie, revue d’études pluridisciplinaire. Les arts et les littératures balkaniques (xixe-xxie siècles) au prisme de l’engagement féministe

Vol. 18 n° 2 | 2023 – Les arts et les littératures balkaniques (xixe-xxie siècles) au prisme de l’engagement féministe

Coordination: Naïma Berkane and Lola Sinoimeri

Date limite de soumission des articles : 6 mai 2022

Les mouvements des femmes et l’histoire de l’engagement féministe dans les Balkans constituent désormais un champ de recherche établi dans les sciences sociales. De nombreux chercheurs et chercheuses ont contribué à éclairer, d’une part, la spécificité du contexte sud-est européen dans son ensemble au xxe siècle dans une approche comparatiste et, d’autre part, la chronologie différenciée de ces mouvements selon les situations des différents pays. Que ce soit dans les mouvements dits de « renaissance nationale » au xixe et début du xxe siècles, dans l’entre-deux guerres, après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, dans les années 1970 ou après la chute des différents régimes communistes et la dissolution de la Yougoslavie, les femmes se sont engagées et/ou se sont organisées autour de questions féministes.

Des chercheuses de la région en littérature et études de genre se sont déjà penchées sur l’histoire littéraire et artistique des Balkans. Notamment, la littérature dite post-yougoslave a été abondamment étudiée dans une perspective féministe et/ou transnationale (Lukić, 2017 ; Matijević, 2020). D’autres ont travaillé à historiciser ces phénomènes artistiques et littéraires tout en proposant une théorie et une critique féministes (Zelenović, 2020 ; Blagojević, Kolozova, Slapšak, 2006 ; Petrović, 2018).

Ce dossier de la revue Balkanologie interrogera la spécificité d’un engagement féministe dans les arts et la littérature balkaniques. Qu’en est-il de l’engagement littéraire et artistique des femmes pour leurs droits et/ou dans le cadre de mouvements féministes ? Quelles sont les spécificités de ces formes d’engagement artistique dans les pays des Balkans ?

Ces interrogations invitent à se situer historiquement au croisement de deux sujets : premièrement, les contextes de la condition et des mouvements des femmes dans les pays concernés, d’un xixe siècle où émerge la question des femmes jusqu’aux transitions libérales qui redéfinissent leur place dans ces sociétés, en passant par les projets socialistes et kémaliste où le thème de l’émancipation des femmes devient un outil de « légitimation fondamentale » (Giomi, Zerman, 2018). Toutes ces transformations auront en effet un impact sur les stratégies d’apparition des femmes dans les champs littéraires et artistiques. Deuxièmement, ces engagements seront étudiés au prisme de l’histoire des liens entre arts, littérature et politique dans les pays concernés. L’histoire littéraire et artistique des pays du Sud-Est européen, souvent qualifiés de « périphéries » littéraires et artistiques (Casanova, 2008), est marquée par son rapport au politique : ainsi, au xixe et au début du xxe siècle, les arts et la littérature participent activement aux mouvements dits de « renaissance nationale » ou de « reconstruction nationale ». Puis, sous le socialisme, les régimes appellent les écrivain-e-s et les artistes à définir leurs travaux par leur engagement et une critique sociale, voire, pour certains d’entre eux, à subordonner leur art au politique. Dans ces contextes, nous ne pouvons pas seulement penser l’intellectuel·le engagé·e comme « outsider » (Saïd, 1996) ou comme dissident·e : les lieux de friction entre collaboration et subversion ou dissensus paraissent particulièrement pertinents pour cette étude. L’engagement peut même, dans des contextes ultra politisés, revêtir des formes antipolitiques (Kemp-Welch, 2017) ou « escapistes ».

Si de nombreux travaux sur les questions de représentations des femmes ont déjà été produits, nous souhaitons nous centrer sur la capacité d’agir des femmes artistes et autrices que ce soit dans leurs productions artistiques ou dans leurs modes d’organisation féministe dans les champs littéraires et artistiques. Ce numéro invite à penser l’engagement artistique dans les œuvres, ses implications esthétiques, mais également comme action et mode d’organisation des femmes dans les champs littéraires et artistiques : si des femmes s’engagent en tant que créatrices, c’est également le cas des femmes occupant d’autres fonctions dans ces champs – on pense notamment aux critiques d’arts, aux métiers techniques, aux traductrices, etc.

Nous invitons les contributeur·ices à appréhender le qualificatif « féministe » au sens large : certaines femmes artistes ou autrices ont pu ne pas le mobiliser pour elles-mêmes, voire le rejeter (Lóránd, 2018). Cependant, l’analyse peut aborder leur engagement, leur trajectoire et leurs productions artistiques comme féministes. Cette définition ouverte du terme « féministe » renvoie à tout engagement politique, artistique, littéraire qui met en lumière la spécificité des conditions de vie des femmes et des oppressions que subissent les femmes en tant que groupe social.

Ce numéro est ouvert à des contributions venant de différents champs des sciences humaines et sociales (littérature, histoire des arts, esthétique, philosophie, histoire, sociologie, géographie, anthropologie, science politique). Souhaitant contribuer à l’écriture d’une histoire intellectuelle féministe « imbriquée, transnationale et comparative » des Balkans (Daskalova, 2018), nous encourageons vivement les travaux qui proposent une perspective comparatiste et transdisciplinaire.

Soumission des propositions

Les propositions de contributions en langue française ou anglaise doivent être envoyées par courriel à Lola Sinoimeri (lola-sinoimeri@riseup.net) et Naïma Berkane (naimaberkane@outlook.fr), les coordinatrices du dossier, le vendredi 6 mai 2022 au plus tard. Elles comporteront le titre, un résumé (500 mots maximum), cinq mots clés, une brève notice bio-bibliographique et les coordonnées de l’auteur·rice. Les auteur·rices seront informé·es de la sélection des propositions par les coordinatrices par courriel en juin 2022. Les auteur·rices dont les propositions seront retenues devront remettre leur article au 18 novembre 2022 dernier délai. Les articles seront ensuite soumis à une évaluation en double anonyme. Les auteur·rices auront alors un mois pour intégrer les commentaires, les critiques et les suggestions. La publication est prévue à l’automne 2023.

Vol. 18 n° 2 | 2023- Balkan Arts and Literatures (19-21th centuries) Through the Lens of Feminist Engagement

Coordination: Naïma Berkane and Lola Sinoimeri

Deadline for submission of paper proposals: May 6th, 2022

Women’s movements and the history of feminist engagement in the Balkans are a well-established academic field in social sciences. Many researchers contributed to shed light on the specificity of the South-East European context at large in the 20th century using a comparative approach while distinguishing the different movements’ chronologies according to the situation of the different countries. Whether it was in the so-called “national revival” movements in the 19th and early 20th centuries, or during the interwar period, after World War Two, or in the 1970s, or after the fall of the various communist regimes and the dissolution of Yugoslavia, women committed themselves and/or organized themselves around feminist issues.

Scholars in the region in literature and gender studies have already focused their research on the literary and artistic history of the Balkans. The so-called post-Yugoslav literature, for example, has been extensively studied from a feminist and/or transnational perspective (Lukić 2017; Matijević 2020). Others have worked on historicizing these artistic and literary phenomena while offering feminist theory and critique (Zelenović 2020; Blagojević, Kolozova, Slapšak 2006; Petrović 2018).

This issue of the review Balkanologie aims to interrogate the specificity of feminist engagement in Balkan arts and literatures. What about the literary and artistic engagement of women for their rights and/or in the scope of feminist movements? What are the specificities of these forms of artistic engagement in the different Balkan countries?

These interrogations invite us to lie at the intersections of two historical topics. First, we will observe the different contexts in which women’s living conditions changed and political movements appeared: from the 19th century, when the women question emerged, through the socialist and Kemalist projects where the theme of women’s emancipation became a tool for “fundamental legitimization” (Giomi, Zerman 2018), to the liberal transitions that redefined their place in society. All these transformations have had an impact on the different strategies of women’s appearance in literary and artistic fields. Second, these commitments will be studied through the lens of the history of relations between arts, literature and politics in these countries. Literary and artistic history of the South-East European countries, often referred to as literary and artistic “peripheries” (Casanova 2008), is marked by its relationship to politics: thus, in the 19th and early 20th centuries, arts and literature were actively involved in the so-called “national revival” or “national reconstruction” movements. Then, under socialism, the regimes called writers and artists to define their work according to their commitment and social critique, and even, for some of them, to subordinate their art to politics. In these contexts, we cannot only think of the engaged intellectual as an “outsider” (Saïd, 1996) or as a dissident. Spaces of friction between collaboration and subversion or dissent seem therefore particularly relevant for this study. Engagement can even, in highly politicized contexts, take on anti-political (Kemp-Welch, 2017) or “escapist” forms.

While scholarship has already been produced on issues of women’s representation, here we wish to focus on the agency of women artists and writers, both in their artistic productions or in their feminist modes of organisation in the literary and artistic fields. This issue invites researchers to think about political engagement in artworks, its aesthetic implications, but also as action and mode of organisation for women in the literary and artistic fields: women can get involved as creators or writers, but also by occupying other functions in these fields – we think specifically of art critics, technical professions, translators, etc.

We invite contributors to understand the label “feminist” in a broad sense: some women artists or writers may not have used it for themselves, or may even have rejected it (Lóránd, 2018). However, the analysis can address their engagement, trajectory and artistic productions as feminist. This open definition of the term “feminist” refers to any political, artistic, literary engagement that highlights the specificity of women’s living conditions and the oppressions women face as a social group.

This issue is open to contributions from different fields in human and social sciences (literature, art history, aesthetics, philosophy, history, sociology, geography, anthropology, political science). Wishing to contribute to the writing of a “intertwined, transnational and comparative” feminist intellectual history of the Balkans (Daskalova, 2018), we strongly encourage works that propose a comparative and transdisciplinary perspective.

Proposal submission

Proposals for articles, in either French or English, will be sent by e-mail to the editors of the issue, Lola Sinoimeri (lola-sinoimeri@riseup.net) and Naïma Berkane (naimaberkane@outlook.fr) on 6th May 2022 at the latest. They will include the title, an abstract (up to 500 words), five key-words, a bio-bibliographic note and the authors’ contact information. The authors will be informed by the editors about the selection of proposals by e-mail in June 2022. Authors will then be required to submit a first version of their papers before 18th December 2022 at the latest. The articles will be submitted to dual-anonymous peer reviewing, after which authors will have a month to modify their papers according to the remarks, critics and suggestions received. The issue should finally be published in autumn 2023.
