               CALL FOR PAPERS

*Cultural Exchange: Russia and the West II*

------------------------------

*University of Cambridge, 10th December 2013*


 Following the highly successful Cultural Exchange: Russia and the West
conference, held at the University of Bristol in 2011, Theodora Clarke and
Cinthia Willaman are pleased to announce a follow up postgraduate symposium
at the University of Cambridge.

Cultural Exchange: Russia and the West II is an opportunity to re-examine
the artistic links between the two regions both before and after the
Revolution of 1917.  Russian history is marked by key moments of contact
and exchange which have shaped and transformed its cultural heritage. The
conference will challenge the notion that Russia was isolated by geography
and politics by considering the development of Russian art within national
and international contexts.

This conference will focus on the visual arts in Russia during the
nineteenth and twentieth centuries, both periods of revolutionary and
ideological change.  The aim is to trace the historical web of cultural
connections between Russia, Europe and the United States through factors
such as emigration and moments of cultural interaction.

A primary focus will be to examine key moments of contact between Russian
artists, architects, designers and film makers and their international
counterparts. These contacts across geographic, political and cultural
boundaries are essential to our understanding of the development of Russian
art and culture.

Dr Rosalind P. Blakesley, co-editor of Russian Art and the West: A Century
of Dialogue in Painting, Architecture, and the Decorative Artsand
co-director of CCRAC (Cambridge Courtauld Russian Art Centre),will be the
keynote speaker.

*Current postgraduate researchers or recent PhD recipients working on areas
of Russian/Soviet art are invited to apply. Abstracts of 300 words are
invited from research students. Please email
[email protected] your name, institutional
affiliation and the title of your
proposed twenty minute paper and full contact information (address, phone
number, and email).*

*Deadline for the submission of paper proposals is 30th August 2013.*
