CALL FOR PAPERS!

15th INTERNATIONAL MUSICOLOGICAL AND INTERDISCIPLINARY CONFERENCE OF THE CROATIAN MUSICOLOGICAL SOCIETY (www.hmd-music.org)

ZAGREB, CROATIA

Theme: MUSICAL NETWORKING IN THE ‘LONG’ 19TH CENTURY

Place and date: ZAGREB, CROATIA, OCTOBER 15-17, 2020, THE LIBRARY OF THE CROATIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES AND ARTS, STROSSMAYER SQUARE 14

Organizers: CROATIAN MUSICOLOGICAL SOCIETY, THE DEPARTMENT FOR THE HISTORY OF CROATIAN MUSIC OF THE CROATIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES AND ARTS, THE CROATIAN INSTITUTE OF HISTORY

A musician cannot prove him- or herself as an artist without an audience, without a performance space, without the support of a benefactor, without an instrument builder to create musical instruments – the musician’s performing tools, without a reviewer who would spread the musician’s fame. He or she could probably have not become an artist without a teacher, or music to be performed – either from memory, or from a manuscript or a print. All these persons and artefacts make part of the infrastructure that enables The Artist to realise his or her special gifts, and each of them is a part of or creates their own network.

As, for example, a musicological or a cultural project theme gathers people in a vertical network in order to achieve a common goal, a musician creates various horizontal networks in achieving their own goal, an event that would give the musician the opportunity to present his or her artistic qualities in public (concerts, theatre performances) or in private (salon).

A musical network analysis examines the structure of relationships between various components, not all of them being (always) directly connected to music. They might be individuals but also groups or institutions, even musical pieces or publications.

However, the aim of the conference is not to discuss the theory but to present case studies, whose variety gives a vivid picture of the social history of music of the (very) ‘long’ 19th century. Not only musicologists but also historians and sociologists dealing with music are welcome to contribute to that common goal.

Suggested themes include, but are not limited to:

  • The relationship between teacher(s) and pupil(s)
  • Musicians on tours
  • Theatre/opera companies and their networks
  • Composers and publishers/copyists
  • Musical salons
  • Music as a means/medium of representation (political, social, etc.)
  • Benefactors, Patrons and their (musical) circles
  • The establishment of musical institutions and their networks
  • Music collections and their creators
  • Researchers in music and their networks
  • Interaction and overlapping of musical networks
  • Forms of communication in musical networking (postal service, roads and railways)

Cilj je skupa razmotriti glazbenu produkciju (komponiranje, izvođenje, refleksija o glazbi) i šire glazbeno-sociološke i glazbeno-kulturne posljedice prije, za vrijeme i nakon Prvog svjetskog rata 1914-1918. na temelju istraživanja primarne i sekundarne dokumentacije: glazbenih djela, arhivskih dokumenata, glazbenih/muzikoloških napisa, novinskih i periodičkih izvora, književnih tekstova, ikonografije, privatnih ostavština, individualne i kolektivne memorije, itd.

GLAVNE TEME SKUPA

  1. Prvi svjetski rat u općoj i glazbenoj historiografiji u Hrvatskoj i inozemstvu
  2. Komponiranje glazbe krajem Belle Époque (tj. krajem ‘dugog’ 19. stoljeća)
  3. Komponiranje glazbe tijekom Prvog svjetskog rata
  4. Izvođenje glazbe tijekom Prvog svjetskog rata
  5. Društveni utjecaji na glazbenu produkciju i mobilnost glazbenika tijekom i nakon Prvog svjetskog rata
  6. Stilske i estetičke promjene u umjetničkoj i popularnoj glazbi u razdoblju nakon Prvog svjetskog rata

Zainteresirani podnositelji priopćenja na ovome skupu pozivaju se da predlože rezultate svojih istraživanja prema sljedećim kategorijama i odrednicama:

Prvi svjetski rat u historiografiji u Hrvatskoj i inozemstvu
Domaći i inozemni opći historičari i povjesničari glazbe, stručnjaci za razdoblje neposredno prije, tijekom i nakon Prvog svjetskog rata pružit će uvid u opće društveno-političke okvire u Hrvatskoj, susjednim zemljama i Europi u kojima je došlo do značajnih mijena u shvaćanju, produkciji i funkciji umjetničkih artefakata, napose glazbe, u razdoblju od kasnog 19. stoljeća do oko 1930. godine.

Komponiranje glazbe krajem Belle Époque (tj. krajem ‘dugog’ 19. stoljeća)
Muzikolozi i drugi stručnjaci koji istražuju razdoblje kraja romantizma i početke razdoblja Moderne mogu predložiti uvide u kompozicijske odrednice i njihove mijene, od npr. Claudea Debussyja i Richarda Straussa do Arnolda Schönberga, ranog Stravinskog i Erica Satiea u europskoj, te od Ivana Zajca do Blagoja Berse u hrvatskoj skladateljskoj produkciji od oko 1900. do 1914. godine

Komponiranje glazbe tijekom Prvog svjetskog rata
Muzikolozi i drugi stručnjaci koji istražuju Modernu i krajnje izdanke romantizma (impresionizam, ekspresionizam, i dr.) mogu predložiti uvide u stanje u europskoj i hrvatskoj umjetničkoj glazbi tijekom ratnih  godina 1914-1918, s posebnim naglaskom na tzv. historijske koncerte 1916. u Zagrebu.

Izvođenje glazbe tijekom Prvog svjetskog rata
Muzikolozi i drugi stručnjaci koji istražuju problematiku izvođačkih praksi u velikim europskim središtima (Beč, Pariz, Berlin, London, Rim i dr.) te u većim i manjim gradskim središtima u Hrvatskoj tijekom ratnog razdoblja 1914-1918, mogu predložiti uvide u promjene u lokacijama, intencijama i načinu izvođenja glazbe s obzirom na specifične društvene prilike tijekom Prvog svjetskog rata (redovite sezone, ali i dobrotvorni koncerti; promidžbene djelatnosti; fleksibilnost i prilagođenost repertoara; itd.)

Društveni utjecaji na glazbenu produkciju i mobilnost glazbenika tijekom i nakon Prvog svjetskog rata
Muzikolozi i sociolozi koji istražuju socijalnu povijest glazbe i sociologiju glazbe mogu predložiti uvide u promjene skladateljskih strategija nastale na temelju drastično promijenjenih društvenih okvira (novi senzibiliteti; nova politička stvarnost; promjene svjetonazora; susreti raznih kultura; utjecaj američke kulture na europsku; itd.) tijekom Prvog svjetskog rata i nakon njega okvirno do kraja 1920-ih. Također će se pružiti uvid u mobilnost glazbenika (izvođači, skladatelji, organizatori glazbenih zbivanja, i dr.) s obzirom na promjenjive ratne i izmijenjene poratne prilike na individualnom (osiguranje egzistencije) i društvenom planu (promidžbene i ideologijske motivacije).

Stilske i estetičke promjene u umjetničkoj i popularnoj glazbi u razdoblju nakon Prvog svjetskog rata
Muzikolozi i drugi stručnjaci koji istražuju glazbenu Modernu i ‘prvu avangardu’ (npr. Schönberg, Berg, Webern, i dr.) u europskoj te njihove tragove, predstavnike i/ili oporbu u hrvatskoj umjetničkoj glazbi (D. Plamenac, B. Bersa, J. Štolcer Slavenski, neofolkloristi, i dr.) mogu predložiti uvide u stanje umjetničke glazbe tijekom 1920-ih, te u širenje i afirmaciju fenomena popularne glazbe (jazz, šlageri, plesni oblici, i dr.) i njezino eventualno djelomično prožimanje s umjetničkom glazbom u istom razdoblju (oblici, pojave, ličnosti).

PRIJAVA PRIJEDLOGA PRIOPĆENJA  I ROKOVI
Prijedlozi s radnim naslovom priopćenja za 20 minuta izlaganja i kratkim životopisom šalju se pismeno ili elektronički do 28. 02. 2017. sa sažetkom na hrvatskom ili engleskom (300-400 riječi) na:

THEME: The Great War 1914-1918 and Music. Compositional Strategies, Performing Practices, and Social Impacts

PLACE AND DATE: Zagreb, Croatia, October 25-27, 2017, Golden Hall of the Croatian Institute of History, 10 Opatička St. (Upper Town)

ORGANIZERS: Croatian Musicological Society, the Department for History of Croatian Music of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts, and the Croatian Institute of History

The Conference is organized on the occasion of the centennial years of the First World War (1914-1918)
The aim of the Conference is to consider music the production of music and broader musical-sociological tendencies before, during and after the Great War / First World War 1914-1918 based on research in primary and secondary documentation: musical works, musical/musicological writings, newspaper and periodical sources, iconography, private legacies, individual and collective memory, etc.
Main themes of the Conference will be:

  1. The First World War in Historiography in Croatia and Abroad
  2. Composing of Music at the end of the Belle Époque (i.e., at the end of the ‘long’ 19th century)
  3. Composing Music during the First World War
  4. Performing Music during the First World War
  5. Social Impacts on Music Production and the Mobility of Musicians during and after the First World War
  6. Stylistic and Aesthetic Changes in Art and Popular Music in Post-WWI Period

The conference invites interested scholars to share the results of their research within the framework of the following categories:

I.

The First World War in Historiography in Croatia and Abroad
General historians and historians of music from Croatia and abroad who specialise in the period of the First World War, the period leading up to it, or the period of its aftermath,  are invited to offer results of their research and/or insight into the general socio-political context in Croatia, its neighbouring countries and in Europe at large, in which significant changes in the understanding, output and function of artistic production and music in particular, occurred during the period covering the late 19th century up to c. 1930.

II.

Composing of Music at the end of the Belle Époque (i.e., at the end of the ‘long’ 19th century)
Musicologists and other experts, who specialise in the period of late Romanticism and the beginnings of Modernism (c. 1900-1014) are invited to offer results of their research and/or insight into compositional determinants and their changes from, for example, Claude Debussy and Richard Strauss to Arnold Schönberg, early Stravinsky and Eric Satie in European, and from Ivan Zajc to Blagoje Bersa in Croatian compositional production.

III.

Composing Music during the First World War
Musicologists and other experts specialising in Modernism and in the late outcomes of Romanticism (impressionism, expressionism, etc.), are invited to offer results of their research and/or insight into European or Croatian art music during the 1914-1918 war years, with special emphasis on the so-called ‘historical concerts’ held in Zagreb in 1916.

IV.

Performing Music during the First World War
Musicologists and other experts specialising in the history of performance practices in great European centres such as Vienna, Paris, Berlin, London, Rome etc., as well as in bigger or smaller towns in Croatia during the 1914-1918 war period, are invited to offer results of their research and/or insight into changes in performing locations, intentions and ways of performing music in the context of  the specific social circumstances during the First World War (regular seasons; benefit concerts; propagandistic activities; flexibility and adaptability of the repertoires, etc.)

V.

Social Impacts on Music Production and the Mobility of Musicians during and after the First World War
Musicologists and sociologists, who specialise in the social history of music and the sociology of music, are invited to offer results of their research and/or insight into changes in compositional strategies founded on drastically changed social contexts (new sensibilities; new political realities; changes in worldviews; encounters of different cultures; influence of American culture on the European culture; etc.) during the period from the First World War until the end of the 1920s. Welcome in particular is research on the mobility of musicians (composers, performers, organizers of musical events, etc.) resulting from changing and changed circumstances during and after WWI due to both individual (existential needs) and social plans (propagandistic and ideological motivations).

VI.

Stylistic and Aesthetic Changes in Art and Popular Music in Post-WWI Period
Musicologists and other experts, who specialise in musical Modernism and the ‘first avant-garde’ (Schönberg, Berg, Webern, and others) in European art music and in their traces, protagonists and/or opponents in Croatian art music (Dragan Plamenac, Blagoje Bersa, Josip Štolcer Slavenski, neo-folklorists, and others) are invited to offer results of their research and/or insight into art music during the 1920s, as well as into the dissemination and affirmation of the phenomenon of popular music (jazz, pop songs, dance melodies, etc.) and its possible permeation of art music of the same period (forms, social appearance, personalities, etc.).

International Bilingual Conference

The European Salon: Nineteenth-century Salonmusik

2-4 October 2015, National University of Ireland, Maynooth

Keynote speakers: Professor Susan Youens, Professor Glenn Stanley, and Professor Harald Krebs

As socio-cultural institutions, salons had a great political, artistic and scientific impact on nineteenth-century history. The typical salon sociability provided a unique opportunity for artists of varied social and cultural backgrounds to share their knowledge and skills on a semi-public platform. In fact the attempt at overcoming social, religious and educational limitations in the salon was a singular phenomenon of the time. While the purposes of nineteenth-century salons were diverse, all of them had in common the ubiquity of music. This interdisciplinary conference seeks to re-evaluate the significance of both the broad and diverse category of music performed in and/or composed for the salon and the extra-musical functions of the salon within the context of the nineteenth-century socio-cultural discourse.

We invite abstracts for individual 20-minute papers by both academic scholars and performers in either English or German; for themed panel sessions (comprising three individual papers); and for roundtable sessions (up to six people, each presenting a position paper, followed by a discussion). Considering the practical nature of the overall topic, we especially welcome proposals for lecture recitals and other performative forms of presentation.

Proposed research areas include but are not limited to:

  • The nineteenth-century European salon as a social forum and its artistic output as a social document;
  • The salon as a special performative opportunity for women;
  • A re-classification of composers specialising in Salonmusik and composers of European art music performing in European salons;
  • The role of music during the Biedermeier period;
  • Case studies of specific nineteenth-century European salons and/or their attendees;
  • The relationship between salonieres, attendees, performers, publishers and/or reviewers, i.e. the relationship between the private, the semi-public and the public domains;
  • Publishers of Salonmusik and their contribution to the popularity of the genre;
  • Virtuosity and quasi-virtuosic Salonmusik versus dilettantism;
  • A re-evaluation of art-forms typically performed in salons, and their impact on the musical repertoire of the nineteenth century and beyond;
  • Analyses of typical Salonmusik and works performed in salons such as fantasias, impromptus, etudes, transcriptions, variations, polonaises, ballades, waltzes, boleros, mazurkas and others.

Abstracts of c300 words, along with a short biography of no more than 150 words and an outline of the technology needed for the presentation, should be sent in a word-compatible format by Friday, 6 February 2015 to 19thcenturysalon@nuim.ie. Successful applicants will be notified by mid-March 2015.

The organising committee includes Brigitte Bark (NUIM), Anja Bunzel (NUIM), Dr Lorraine Byrne Bodley (NUIM), Dr Patrick Devine (NUIM), Dr Alison Hood (NUIM), Dr Aisling Kenny (DkIT), Barbora Kubečková (NUIM), and Dr Wolfgang Marx (UCD).

POZIV ZA PRIJAVU PRIOPĆENJA!

MEĐUNARODNI MUZIKOLOŠKI SKUP

TEMA: Ivan Zajc (1832-1914): Glazbene migracije i kulturni transferi u srednjoj Europi i šire u ‘dugom’ 19. stoljeću
MJESTO I DATUM: Zagreb, 16-18. listopada 2014. u palači HAZU, Zrinjski trg 11
PLENARNI PREDAVAČI: Richard Taruskin (Berkeley), Stanislav Tuksar (Zagreb), Harry White (Dublin)
ORGANIZATORI: Hrvatsko muzikološko društvo i Odsjek za povijest hrvatske glazbe Zavoda za povijest hrvatske književnosti, kazališta i glazbe Hrvatske akademije znanosti i umjetnosti

Skup se organizira prigodom obilježavanja 100. obljetnice smrti Ivana pl. Zajca (1832-1914), središnje ličnosti hrvatske glazbe u posljednjoj trećini 19. stoljeća.

Zajc se školovao u Rijeci i na Konzervatoriju u Milanu (1850-1855). Djelovao je kao nastavnik i dirigent u Rijeci (1855-1862), kao skladatelj opereta, pedagog i dirigent u Beču (1862-1870) te kao ravnatelj Opere HNK, ravnatelj i nastavnik na školi HGZ-a u Zagrebu (1870-1914). Ostavio je opus od preko 1100 skladbi na vrlo različitim područjima umjetničke glazbe. Skladao je crkvenu glazbu (19 misa, 50-ak duhovnih i svjetovnih oratorija i kantata), popijevke (oko 170 na hrvatske, talijanske i njemačke tekstove), oko 300 zborova, oko 80 orkestralnih djela, oko 100 komornih i klavirskih djela, no najznačajniji je kao autor skladbi za glazbenu scenu: 19 opera, 26 opereta i 22 scenske glazbe.

TEMATSKA PODRUČJA

Prvo tematsko težište skupa je život, djelo i značenje Ivana pl. Zajca. Pritom su dobrodošli prilozi koji se bave analizom i odrednicama njegova cjelokupnog skladateljskog opusa, te razmjerima i dometima njegova djelovanja unutar hrvatskog nacionalnog pokreta kao primjerice autora mitsko-povijesno operne trilogije (Mislav, Ban Leget, Nikola Šubić Zrinjski) i drugih važnih glazbeno-scenskih djela, kao organizatora profesionalnog opernog ansambla i kao inovatora nastave glazbe u školi Hrvatskog glazbenog zavoda. Jednako su dobrodošli prilozi koji se bave Zajčevim djelom i djelovanjem u kontekstu njegova vremena te užeg nacionalnog i šireg srednjoeuropskog prostora.

Drugo tematsko težište skupa je fenomen glazbenih migracija kako ga je svojim životnim itinerom (Rijeka-Milano-Rijeka-Beč-Zagreb) oprimjerio i Zajc. Glazbene migracije obuhvaćaju privremene i trajne selidbe i naseljavanja glazbenika (skladatelja, izvođača, muzikologa i glazbenih pisaca, graditelja glazbala, i dr.), izmještanja i premještanja glazbenih artefakata (note, knjige o glazbi, glazbala, dokumentacija, i dr.) i ideja o glazbi (školovanja, osobni susreti, korespondencija, stilski i žanrovski utjecaji, i dr.) iz zavičajnog mjesta ili mjesta nastanka na druge lokacije unutar i/ili izvan lokalnih, regionalnih i/ili nacionalnih okvira. U konkretnom slučaju Zajca ove su migracijske pojave uže locirane na područje srednje Europe, ali, na primjer, upravo sporadični slučajevi prisutnosti njegovih skladbi u glazbenoj praksi od SAD-a do Japana, u 19. i 20. stoljeću, proširuju mogućnost proučavanja, sagledavanja i vrednovanja ovog tematskog aspekta i izvan Zajčevih užih geografskih i vremenskih okvira i zadanosti.

Treće tematsko težište je problematika kulturnih transfera na području glazbe i s njom u vezu dovedenih drugih područja umjetnosti i kulture (književnost, kazalište, likovne umjetnosti, i dr.) kao glavne društveno-kulturne posljedice migracijskih procesa. Kako u današnjim vremenima intenziviranja kulturnih interakcija u globalnim razmjerima, tako – različitim načinima i metodama, s drugim akcentuacijama i u drukčijim oblicima realizacije – i u razdoblju Zajčeva života u drugoj polovici 19. i početkom 20. stoljeća, te kasnije, glazbeno-kulturni transferi obuhvaćaju dotok i protok informacija o općim i pojedinačnim umjetničkim pojavama i artefaktima, njihovo prihvaćanje, utjecaj i preuzimanje, ignoriranje ili odbacivanje. U Zajčevu slučaju koloplet takvih pojava tvore međusobno prožimajući utjecaji verdijanske operne koncepcije, bečke operetne scene, pomodnog koketiranja s orijentalizmima, uvažavanja ideje domoljubnog i nacionalnog, konkretnih društvenih djelatnosti na područjima glazbenog školstva, izgradnje institucija poput nacionalne opere, podupiranja glazbenog amaterizma, i dr.
S obzirom na činjenicu da se Zajčev životni put i kraj tzv. belle époque podudaraju svojim završetcima 1914. godine, vremenska odrednica je okvirno zadana kao kraj tzv. dugog 19. stoljeća, ali se u proučavanju i predstavljanju drugog i trećeg tematskog težišta ne postavljaju nikakva unaprijed zadana vremenska, prostorna ili kultorološka ograničenja.

International Musicological Conference

CALL FOR PAPERS!

INTERNATIONAL MUSICOLOGICAL CONFERENCE

THEME: Ivan Zajc (1832-1914): Musical Migrations and Cultural Transfers in the ‘Long’ 19th Century in Central Europe and Beyond
PLACE AND DATE: Zagreb, Croatia, October 16-18, 2014, the Palace of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts, Zrinjski trg 11
KEYNOTE SPEAKERS: Richard Taruskin (Berkeley), Stanislav Tuksar (Zagreb), Harry White (Dublin)
ORGANIZERS: Croatian Musicological Society and the Department for History of Croatian Music of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts

The Conference is organized on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the death of Ivan Zajc (1832-1914), the key personality of Croatian music during the last third of the 19th century.

Zajc was trained in his home town of Rijeka and at the Conservatory in Milan (1850-55). He was active as a teacher and conductor in Rijeka (1855-62), as an operetta composer, pedagogue and conductor in Vienna (1862-70), and as the Director of the Croatian National Theatre Opera, and Director and teacher at the Croatian Music Institute School in Zagreb (1870-1908). Zajc left a huge opus of more than 1100 compositions in various areas of art music. He composed church music (19 Masses, c. 50 sacral and secular oratorios and cantatas), solo songs (c. 170 on Croatian, Italian and German texts), c. 300 choral works, c. 80 orchestral pieces, and about 100 chamber and piano works. Zajc remains most significant for his contributions to the musical stage: 19 operas, 26 operettas and 22 sets of incidental music.

THEMATIC AREAS

The first proposed thematic area is the life, oeuvre and importance of Ivan Zajc. We welcome contributions which will analyze and elucidate aspects of Zajc’s individual works and his oeuvre at large, as well as those which will deal with the range and scope of his activities within the 19th-century Croatian national movement. Zajc’s varied career included composing the mythological-historical operatic trilogy (Mislav, Ban Leget, Nikola Šubić Zrinjski) and other important works for musical stage, and serving as the organizer of professional ensembles and as an innovator in teaching methods at the Croatian Music Institute School. Equally welcomed will be contributions dealing with Zajc’s oeuvre and activities within the context of his time as well as the stricter national or broader central-European spaces.

The second proposed thematic area is the phenomenon of musical migrations, as is evident, for instance, in Zajc’s own life itinerary (Rijeka-Milan-Rijeka-Vienna-Zagreb). Musical migrations include temporary or permanent migrations or settling down of musicians (composers, performers, musicologists and music writers, instrument builders, etc.) and the transfer of musical artifacts (music sheets, music books, music instruments, documents, etc.) and ideas on music (by way of schooling, personal encounters, correspondence, stylistic and genre influences, etc.). Migrations can occur between native places or places of artistic creation and other locations inside and/or outside local, regional and/or national areas. In the case of Zajc, these migrational phenomena are more strictly located in the central-European area, but – for example – the sporadic presence of his compositions in the USA and Japan in the 19th and 20th centuries expands the possibilities for research in this area. This in turn leads to an understanding and evaluation of the idea of musical migrations beyond Zajc’s immediate geographic and temporal frames and determinants.

The third proposed thematic area concerns cultural transfer in the field of music, as well as in those areas of arts and culture which were traditionally connected with music, such as literature, theatre, visual arts, etc. As both in today’s processes regarding the intensification of cultural interactions on a global scope, and – with various methods, with different accents and forms of realization – in Zajc’s era during the second half of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, musico-cultural transfers encompass the influx and flow of information concerning general and individual art phenomena and facts. This also includes how such ideas are accepted, ignored, or rejected as well as their impact and dominance. In the case of Zajc a real whirlpool of such phenomena was created through the interaction and permeation of Verdian operatic concepts, Viennese operetta paradigms, fashionable flirtations with Orientalisms, ideas and emotions surrounding patriotic and national issues, direct social activities in the areas of music education and training, the building of national institutions such as national opera, the supporting of musical amateurism, etc.

Taking into account that Zajc’s life and the end of the so-called belle époque coincide in their endings in 1914, the temporal frame of the conference subjects was largely determined with the end of the ‘long’ 19th century and the beginning of WWI, but in investigating and presenting the second and the third thematic areas the organizers are encouraging participants submitting free papers to not feel bound by any strictly prescribed temporal, spatial and/or cultural limitations.

Saints’ Cults and the Dynamics of Regional Cohesion

Dubrovnik, 18-20 October 2012.

Conference organized by
Croatian Hagiography Society HAGIOTHECA
and
CULTSYMBOLS Project of the ESF EuroCORECODE Programme
Centre for the Study of the Cultural Heritage of Medieval Rituals, University of Copenhagen
Institut für Realienkunde, Austrian Academy of Sciences, Krems
Institute of History, University of Tallinn
Institute for History and Classical Studies, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim
Department of Medieval Studies, Central European University – OTKA Saints Project

 

The topic proposed as the focus of the fourth Hagiotheca conference, in collaboration with CULTSYMBOLS Project of the ESF (www.cultsymbols.net), is the way in which the cults of saints contributed to the creation of spatially delimited (regional) collective identities in the Middle Ages. The notion of regio can be understood broadly, as a flexible category which covers spatial entities of various sizes and kinds. The cult of saints often functioned as a cohesive (or disruptive) forces which helped people to attach to (or detach from) particular regions. The saints belonged to the symbols which helped to bind and break communities. Thus, the study of the cult of saints could offer significant contribution to the study of concepts of regional identity through scrutinising the spatial aspect of the notion of the saintly patrocinium. The conference shall investigate how these cults contributed to the changing internal divisions, the fluctuating evolution or resurgence of local, territorial and national (regional and transregional) identities.

The quotation used in the title is a part of a twelfth-century liturgical hymn for St Denis written by Adam of St Victor, and though we might wonder whether with „regio“ the author refers to the whole Kingdom of France, it is clear that the boundaries of the saint’s patrocinium are inclusive, and suggest cohesion (tota regio). A later medieval attempt at elaboration of the levels of patrocinium, using the term regio rather vaguely, is brought in Henry of Langenstein‘s sermon on St Elisabeth, and shows well the difficulties (apparently not realized by the fifteenth-century German author) of establishing clear connections between various spatially-defined communities and saints:

“It should be known that, in accordance with the general opinion of theological tradition, angels undertook the care and governance of regions [regionum] and races [gentium], cities [urbium] and men. Similarly, the saints of God are entrusted with the spiritual care of and power over peoples [populos], regions, and cities where they happily lived and were buried, and [where] they left their relics, shined forth through miracles and bequeathed their examples of sanctity or, at least, where through the consecration of churches in their honour they had been received as patrons or patronesses. Consequently, when any race [gens], city [urbs] and country [patria] is placed under the rule of these leaders who immediately minister to the supreme governor, with good reason every race venerates its saintly men and women as its own gods and goddesses with enhanced solemnity, prays for them with greater devotion, and fears their anger and resentment more.”

The conference aims at discussing the ways in which various forms of identity are being negotiated, defined and constantly redefined at different levels of communities and societies. We would like to analyse how saintly figures were able to or were subjected to manipulations / appropriations / domestications or transformations that made them easier to identify with and sometimes simply constructed them in ways to make them function as markers of different kinds of spatially defined identity. Finally, we encourage the approach to the cults of medieval saints and their modern appropriations as a vehicle for studying changing cultural values related to social cohesion and identity, to the interactions between centre and periphery, between the medieval Latin culture and regional interests, political and cultural agendas. For examining all this, we welcome the inquiry into the reflections of these cults in different media (texts, images, relics, devotional objects and architecture, liturgy, music).

We invite papers discussing the following questions with respect to the medieval period (or rather from Late Antiquity to the Early Modern Period) addressing various regions of Europe, for example:

  • how do hagiography and other media related to saints‘ cults conceive of the geographical aspect, especially the broadly understood notion of “region“?
  • what are the mechanisms of construction of the spatially-delimited collective identities through the cult of saints? How do the saints’ cults and related representations (acquisition of relics, advertising the miracles, commission of texts, art objects and architecture…) contribute to the symbolic manifestation of these communities?
  • what are the means of spreading intra- and inter-regional influence, and of the transfer of models of sainthood? How can we identify the centres and the promoters of such interactions?
  • how do the cults of saints change according to the dynamics of territorial distinctions in the longue durée, and how do they conform to the changes in the organisation of the political territorial units?

The Artwork of the Future

Aufsatzwettbewerb

Das Kunstwerk der Zukunft – Perspektiven der Wagner-Rezeption im 21. Jahrhundert

Das Kunstwerk der ZukunftIm Rahmen des Wagner Jubiläums 2013 veranstaltet die BF Medien GmbH (eine Tochtergesellschaft der Bayreuther Festspiele) einen Aufsatzwettbewerb zu dem Generalthema “Wagner im 21. Jahrhundert.” Gesucht werden innovative Beiträge zu Leben, Werk und Wirkung Wagners. Angesichts der zentralen Bedeutung des Begriffs “Zukunft” für Wagner wie für die Wagner Forschung wird besonderer Wert auf Texte gelegt, die die Frage nach der Relevanz Wagners für aktuelle Entwicklungen auf künstlerischem, sozialem, politischem und wirtschaftlichem Gebiet stellen. Etwa: Welche neuen Möglichkeiten der Wagner-Rezeption ergeben sich in einer nahezu total vernetzten Welt und unter den Bedingungen der Globalisierung? Welche Bedeutung hat die Idee des Gesamtkunstwerks in einer Epoche der Spezialisierung und Fragmentierung der Diskurse?

Einsendungen in deutscher oder englischer Sprache von ausgewiesenen und besonders auch von jüngeren Autoren sind in digitaler Form als E-mail an die folgende Adresse zu schicken (Manuskripte können leider nicht berücksichtigt werden):

perspektiven@wagnerjahr-2013.de

Der Umfang soll 35.000 Zeichen nicht überschreiten. Einsendeschluss ist der 31. März, 2013. Der internationalen Fachjury gehören an: Dr. Sven Friedrich (Direktor des Richard-Wagner-Museums und Nationalarchivs), Professor Hans Rudolf Vaget (Smith College, USA) und Professor Junichi Ikegami (Universität Saitama, Japan).

Die Preisverleihung für den ersten, zweiten und dritten Preis (2.500, 1.500 und 1.000 Euros) findet am 16. August 2013 im Rahmen des Abschlusskonzerts der Festspiel-Meisterklassen in Bayreuth statt. Die BF Medien GmbH unterstützt die Publikation ausgewählter Beiträge in der Reihe “Wagner in der Diskussion” bei Königshausen & Neumann, Würzburg.

The Artwork of the Future: New Perspectives on Wagner for the Twenty-First Century

Call for Papers

Das Kunstwerk der Zukunft

To mark the bicentenary of the birth of Richard Wagner, the BF Medien GmbH (BF Media Group), a subsidiary of the Bayreuth Festival, is pleased to sponsor a prize competition for an essay on the general topic of Wagner in the twenty-first century. We welcome submissions that address in an innovative fashion aspects of Wagner’s work, life, and impact. Mindful of the importance to Wagner and Wagner scholarship of the notion of “future,” we encourage authors not to limit themselves to retrospective treatments of their subjects but to explore possible applications of Wagner’s work to current developments in the artistic, social, political, and economic spheres. For instance, authors might ask: What are the prospects for the Wagnerian artwork in the age of the internet and globalization? What is the future of the “Gesamtkunstwerk” in an age of increasingly fragmented and specialized discourses?

We invite submissions from established scholars and we particularly encourage submissions from younger scholars in any field. Essays may be written in English or in German but must not exceed 35000 characters (spaces included). Papers with limited scholarly apparatus, or with none at all, will be warmly welcomed. Papers must be sent in electronic form (and not in print) to:

perspektiven@wagnerjahr-2013.de

and must be received on or before March 31, 2013. The panel of judges consists of Dr. Sven Friedrich (Director of the Richard-Wagner-Museum and –National Archive); Professor Hans Rudolf Vaget (Smith College, USA); and Professor Junichi Ikegami (University of Saitama, Japan).

A first, second, and third prize (of 2500, 1500, and 1000 Euros respectively) will be awarded on August 16, 2013, at the concluding concert of the Festival master class. The BF Media Group will support the publication of selected contributions in the Königshausen & Neumann series, “Wagner in der Diskussion.”

All inquiries should be directed to Dr. Sven Friedrich at the above address.
