Interdisciplinary Summer Seminar in German Studies
Summer 2009
Narratives of Modernity: From Lessing to Luhmann

Printing and Urban Culture in Early Modern Europe
How did the establishment of printers' shops and the books they produced impact European urban centers socially, economically, intellectually? How did the presence of the new technology, new commodity, new identities contribute to a redefinition of cities and towns? Papers might investigate individual urban locales or individual printers; they might consider the impact of printing and printed books on civic or religious communities; or the role of the market in schoolbooks, university texts, humanist classics
or ecclesiastical printed works. Additional approaches could include looking into the cross-border trade of printed books; the transmission or transfer of knowledge between different social groups or identities; or the routing of texts, people and ideas. The purpose of this session is to examine the premise that, in the 15th and 16th centuries, print redrew the map of Europe with regard to urban culture, both within towns and cities and across the continent.

FINAL CALL FOR PROPOSALS
VIII ICCEES World Congress 2010
EURASIA: PROSPECTS FOR WIDER COOPERATION
Deadline for panel and paper proposals: 28 February 2009
On 26-31 July 2010, the World Congress of the International Council for Central and East European Studies will take place in Stockholm, Sweden. The Swedish Society for the Study of Russia, Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia invites all interested scholars to submit proposals for
panels, papers and round-table discussions.
The processes of European integration and wider cooperation across Eurasia not only impact upon geographical spaces but also leave their mark upon cultural spaces. These processes make communication between languages, histories, religions, traditions, legacies and memories more complex. Humanities and social science scholars are therefore invited to present
the results of new research in the study of developments in the cultural, political, social and economic processes underway in Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. For further information about the general themes of the Congress, see the Congress webpage (www.iccees2010.se).

Critical Political Economy RN at the ESA conference, Lisbon, 2-5 September 2009
The financial crisis: Responses and implications in Europe
Europe is experiencing its most serious financial crisis since the Great Depression. The response of the EU and member states to this crisis has been paradoxical. The crisis has discredited the 'Anglo-American' model of finance-led capitalism and gravely weakened the American imperium.
Yet, the countries of Europe have been unable either individually or collectively to devise a concerted regional solution to the crisis. The result has been rising unemployment, the intensification of intra-regional disparities, signs of inter-state rivalries and is likely to result in growing poverty. Notwithstanding the deployment of massive resources to failing banks, the EU and member states continue to pursue the main planks of the neoliberal agenda, including labour market reforms, privatisation, and financialisation. This session seeks to address the prospects for a European alternative to U.S.-led neoliberalism. Addressing the theme of this conference, we aim to consider to what extent does the current crisis unite or divide Europe and prospective allies in the world order, and what are its implications for the European project of integration. We invite papers which consider at least one of the following:
� Limits and contradictions of the mode of development currently in crisis, which may enable us to understand the current conjuncture.
� The problem of translating intellectual criticism into policy prescription or alternative strategies
� The political consequences of the crisis, its implication for political strategies pursued in relation to the 'European model' as well as to the regulatory frameworks on national and sub-national levels
� The issue of contemporary social and political mobilization and attendant effects on the 'limits of the possible'.
Abstracts should be submitted by 26 February 2009 (online submission form: view Call for Abstracts button at http://www.esa9thconference.com)

The Institute for Cultural Diplomacy (ICD) is pleased to announce that it is now taking applications for this year's round of the Germany Meets Turkey - A Forum for Young Leaders (GMT) program. Six Turkish and six German participants will be selected and together with an already established group of twelve young leaders, they will take part in a week-long exchange to Germany in the beginning of September 2009. In 2010 the twelve new participants will return for a one-week exchange to Turkey and in doing so they will join another newly selected group of twelve young leaders.

We welcome applications from young leaders between the ages of 28 and 38 from all fields, including business, politics, science, education, culture and media, and who are interested in building a sustainable interdisciplinary network as the basis for a solid, long-term relationship between the two countries.
The selected participants will spend one week touring Germany, visiting the cities of Munich and Berlin. The interdisciplinary program will include:
� guest speakers from the fields of business, politics, academia, science, culture and media;
� exposure to various aspects of national culture;
� formal discussions focusing on German-Turkish relations and other topics determined by representatives of business, politics, culture, science and the media;
� informal discussions among the young leaders and the planning of joint initiatives to take place after the study tour (leadership initiatives);
Germany Meets Turkey is a joint program of the Institute for Cultural Diplomacy and the Robert Bosch Stiftung. The program's Turkish partner is the Istanbul Policy Centre of the Sabanci University in Istanbul.
Participation in the program is free of charge. Accepted participants, however, will be responsible for travel expenses and travel organization to and from the study tour. Upon acceptance to the program, applicants may request financial assistance on an individual basis.
