49th Annual Convention of the Association for Slavic, East European, and
Eurasian Studies – ASEEES (9-12 November 2017, Chicago USA)

The theme of this year convention of the ASEEES is Transgressions. In this
context, this panel seeks to bring together scholars interested by the
study of the institutions of the unions of artists in Eastern Europe and
the Soviet Union. They had at their fore the “state artists” (Haraszti),
being given important commissions by the state institutions to create in
the new ideological approach of Socialist Realism and its different,
national adaptations. Some possible topics include (but are not limited
to):

the (creative) unions of artists (visual arts, music, theater, cinema)
relations between the unions of artists
the “state artists” – portraits of specific artists
professional artists versus amateurs
painting the leaders – the official iconography
types of public orders
the changing roles of the unions of artists after 1990/1991
state exhibitions
Those interested should submit a 250 words abstract and a brief author
biography to the chair Caterina Preda (caterinapreda at gmail.com) by
February 10, 2017.
