The collapse of Imperial and Soviet empires after the Great War and the 
Cold War saw the (re-)formation of individual nation states and the 
production of new cultural identities. These changes brought new 
opportunities for artists and art historians across Central Europe and 
beyond, but also new challenges. This session invites participants to 
explore how art, art history, and criticism in Central Europe have 
engaged with shifting approaches to nation and identity (embracing 
considerations such as class, ethnicity, gender, religion) across the 
modern and the contemporary. The session invites papers that consider: 
the critical framing of domestic or national artistic developments in 
relation to local concerns; Central European art in an international 
framework; histories of minority communities; Central European 
historiography; the construction of identity through print media and 
popular culture. What do 'minor' art histories reveal about mainstream 
ones, and vice-versa? To what extent are the processes observable in 
national and international art and art history between the wars 
comparable to the tensions between the local and global that have come 
to the forefront since the end of the Cold War? In view of the present 
violence in the Ukraine, the resurgence of nationalisms across Europe in 
the post-Cold War period, and the alarming political polarisation in 
many European countries today, this session invites participants to 
critically reconsider ideas of nation and identity in the region from a 
range of art historical perspectives.

Paper proposals, to be sent to the session convenor in accordance with 
proposal guidelines. Paper proposal deadline: 10 November 2014
