[ecrea] IV Lisbon Summer School for the Study of Culture

IV Lisbon Summer School for the Study of Culture
Latencies: Europe 1914-2014

Lisbon, June 30 – July 5 2014

Deadline for abstracts: January 30, 2014


Over the past century, Europe has been a site of contradiction. Marked, 
on the
one hand, by the utmost explosions of violence, it has also given rise 
to the most
peaceful post-national political project in modern times. It has been a 
haven of
peace and a locus of disorder and violence, giving vent to experimentation,
transgression and creation, while preserving tradition and enforcing 
normativity.
Developed within the larger context of the European Project 
Culture@Work, the
2014 Lisbon Summer School for the Study of Culture addresses artistic 
latency in
Europe. Latency periods are defined as states of transition pre-dating 
structured
change and characterized by indefinition as well as what Freud considered a
repression of desire and a return to normativity. These periods of 
cultural and
artistic latency are often accompanied by social and political crisis or 
violence
(Spanish Civil War, WWI and II, Cold War, Yugoslav Wars, austerity 
crisis, etc.)
and despite the limitations of the context, they harbour the seeds of 
cultural
change and revolution. In the contradictory relation of repression and 
creativity,
it is particularly relevant to ask how does latency affect the partition 
of the
sensible? How does a repressive context impact on artistic agency? How 
does art
created as a reaction to the disruption of war and the destruction of 
life affect
communal life?

The Lisbon Consortium and the Project Culture@Work together with the
PhDNet in Literary and Cultural Studies (University of Giessen, Catholic
University of Portugal, University of Stockholm, University of Bergamo, 
University
of Helsinki and University of Graz) are the 2014 organizers of the 
Lisbon Summer
School and invite work from doctoral students and post-docs working in every
field of the humanities and social sciences.
Suggested topics are, amongst others:

- Latency as a cultural concept;
- War and artistic latency;
- Art, repression and change;
- European crisis and cultural policies;
- Propaganda, censorship, and cultural production;
- Latency, transition, translation;
- Affect and crisis;
- Europe as latency.
