Second Annual Conference of the Graduate School for East and Southeast
European Studies

Cultural Hegemonies in Spaces of Diversity

7-9 May 2015, Regensburg

More than eighty years ago, Antonio Gramsci developed the concept of
cultural hegemony in his Prison Notebooks. For him, cultural hegemony
was a way to understand the relationship between culture and power under
capitalism and, in particular, to reveal and deconstruct the production
of consent by the dominant "fundamental group". The concept of cultural
hegemony has become hugely influential, aiding scholars to understand
how legitimacy is not only produced but also undermined by
anti-hegemonic practices.
Eastern and Southeastern Europe as a region is characterized by
substantial ruptures in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is an area of
large scale political, economic and cultural experimentation as well as
a site of frequent regime change. It has a long history of both
dictatorship and revolution. Nowhere else in Europe have so many new
states emerged, and existing ones disappeared, in the 20th century. At
the same time, the region is a space of great cultural, linguistic,
confessional, socio-political, and regional diversity; this situation
creates particular challenges for those who strive to achieve cultural
hegemony.
This conference is interested in the production and erosion of cultural
hegemony. Conference contributions shall discuss the relationship
between cultural hegemony, social organization, institutional order, and
political practice. What strategies and practices can be identified that
serve to establish or maintain cultural hegemony but also to subvert and
ultimately replace it? One of the major goals of the conference is to
elucidate the relationship between cultural hegemony and political
change in Eastern and Southeastern Europe. This includes the discussion
of transnational transfers of dominant ideologies and of their local
implementation and appropriation. Cultural hegemony also has important
implications for language use: it attributes specific rights and
prestige to particular languages (or dialects), while marginalizing
others. Comparative dimensions shall be addressed as well. Submitted
papers shall address different levels of analysis - from the macro to
the micro; we are interested both in dominant and subaltern groups and
movements.

The conference is conceived as an interdisciplinary one. We invite
papers from all disciplines that can make a contribution to
understanding the dynamics of cultural hegemony. This includes
discussions of political ideologies and social values, cultural and
language policies, literary and visual representations, architectural
and monumental culture, educational and cultural institutions, the
political economy of culture, legal aspects, and other pertinent topics.
We encourage also theoretical and conceptual contributions.

Keynote speakers: Johanna Bockman (George Mason University), et al.

Paper proposals should include an abstract (max. 300 words) and brief
academic CV including your institutional affiliation and contact details.
Please send your paper proposals to heidrun.hamersky at ur.de as a MS-Word
format document (.doc or .docx).
Deadline for paper applications: December 15, 2014. Applicants will be
notified about the acceptance of their papers by mid-January 2015.
The conference language is English.
The Graduate School will cover travel and accommodation costs of
presenters. For more information about the Graduate School go to
