International Graduate Student Conference

"Religion, Politics, and Society in Modern Greece"

Princeton University, May 4-5, 2011

CALL FOR PAPERS

The Program in Hellenic Studies at Princeton University announces our third International Graduate Student Conference in Modern Greek Studies.

Thessaloniki, November 24th-27th 2011

When it comes to the Balkans, the Second World War is associated with a process of rapid and radical political transformation. Some countries became Axis
satellites (Romania, Bulgaria) and others resisted Axis power and were occupied by them (Yugoslavia, Greece). With the exception of Greece, all other
countries in the region underwent a transition to a communism, with the ratio of indigenous input to external push varying across countries and over time.

MGSA 2011, the twenty-second biennial international symposium of the Modern Greek Studies Association, will take place October 13-16, 2011 in New York, and will be coordinated by the Hellenic Studies Program at New York University (http://hellenic.as.nyu.edu/page/home)

Abstracts for individual papers and proposals for entire panels are invited on any aspect of modern Greek culture, literature, language, history, society, politics, economics, and the arts.

Call for papers for a conference on

THE PERSONALITY CULTS OF MODERN DICTATORS

Institute for Germanic and Romance Studies, University of London

22-23 October 2010

Almost all modern dictators are the subject of personality cults that are highly organised even if they often also rest on spontaneous contributions. By creating a narrative of exceptionality around an individual they harness support and help consolidate a regime. The forms cults take depend on national traditions and histories, patterns of gender relations, and the existence or otherwise of an articulated civil society. In this sense, they are cultural as much as political phenomena. The highly specific nature of each cult means that comparative work is rare. The aim of this conference is to compare different aspects of many cults of personality, and, by so doing, raise new hypotheses of research and lay the foundations for new potential interdisciplinary collaborations.
