Subject: JOB: Positions for two Doctoral Students (ETH Zurich)

Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich, October 01, 2013
Application deadline: May 31, 2013

As of October 1st, 2013, or upon agreement, the Chair of the History of
Art and Architecture (Prof. Philip Ursprung) at ETH Zurich is offering
positions for two

Doctoral Students (60%)

You will be part of the research project "Conflicting Identities -
Politics of Representation and Counterculture in Yugoslavia during the
Cold War," funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation for three
years, which aims at studying the different strategies of identity
construction and deconstruction in the field of visual culture.
Yugoslavia co-founded and fostered the non-aligned movement, thus
avoiding participation in the dominant dualism of the Capitalist and
Socialist "blocks." The project examines how this special political and
economic status during the Cold War was manifest in the realm of visual
culture. Possible research fields include: architecture and urbanism,
monumental sculpture (spomenici), popular film production (partisan
movies e.g.) and avant-garde film as two different modes of identity
production, photography (re)presenting political and social life in
Yugoslavia (e.g. activities of Tito) or cultural developments in the
post-Cold War phase.

Suitable candidates hold a diploma or a Master's degree in history of
art, architecture or related fields and are motivated to invest
themselves into the project.

For further information about the position, please contact Ms. Seraina
