PATTERNS Lectures 2016/2017 – Open Call
http://www.erstestiftung.org/blog/patterns-lectures-20162017-open-call/

We have launched a new call for PATTERNS Lectures to develop university
courses in the fields of artistic research, art history, cultural theory
and cultural studies.

The fourth edition of the programme focuses on new artistic and activist
practices, new social movements and their significance for the recent
cultural history in Central and South Eastern Europe (CEE). The programme
aims to research, analyse and understand different aspects of cultural
practices related to the transformation of society, life, art and culture
in CEE, while accounting for the pluralities that characterise the region.
The programme stresses critical methodology as well as innovative and
interactive teaching practices. It encourages international academic
exchange by enabling lecturers to go on study visits and offer guest
lectures by international colleagues.

WHAT?

The programme supports courses that have been recently developed and have
not been offered before. We are interested in courses which critically
analyse the period after 1989 up to the present day and

deal with cultural and social phenomena including aspects of popular,
marginal, parallel and counter culture
focus on new artistic and activist practices
ask how and if art contributes to society and investigate the potential
and limits of art
stress aspects of migration, nationalism, xenophobia and homophobia
deal with social movements and socially engaged art
stress aspects of ecology and environmental issues in art production
reflect on “peripheries” and “margins” understanding them regionally,
culturally and politically


HOW?

The courses should

examine interdisciplinary and cross-cultural history in CEE
involve critical methodology
integrate innovative and interactive teaching practices
offer practical and theoretical perspectives of the topic
offer comparative analysis
deal with social aspects of art practices and educational practices in art
and curating
encourage students to become active citizens and practice democracy
reflect ethical and political aspects of teaching


Who should apply?
The call is directed at lecturers at public universities in CEE who offer
study programmes in the fields of artistic research, art history, cultural
theory, cultural studies and cultural sciences as well as related fields.
Course proposals by external lecturers must be integrated into the
framework of a public higher education institution. Please note that upon
receiving a grant, the university is expected to have a working contract
with the lecturer who implements the PATTERNS Lectures course.

Courses will start in the academic year 2016/2017, and are expected to be
implemented a second time before end of June 2018.

The call for submissions is open from 19 January 2016 to 7 March 2016.

All application documents including guidelines are available for download
at www.patternslectures.org

PATTERNS Lectures was initiated by ERSTE Foundation and is being
implemented by World University Service (WUS) Austria.
