The Romanian Peasant Museum is seeking
contributions for its annual review Martor. The Martor review is an
unconventional academic journal established in 1996, with a focus on
cultural and visual anthropology, ethnology and museology. Some of its earlier
issues can be read here: http://martor.memoria.ro/?location=archive&action=details&id=6
The theme of Martor 16/2011 issue is Dynamics of Success in Post-Communism.
Codes, Behaviors, Possession, Exposure. We are looking to gather state of
the art anthropological research on achieving and displaying social, economical
and symbolic success in communist and post-communist societies. Among the
questions this issue is seeking to address are: What did it mean to “succeed”
in socialist countries? How did success behavior and communication change after
1989? What is the impact of increased mobility and migration on identity
redefinition? How are these behaviors of exposure and seduction (Baudrillard 1970, 1979) subject to domestication (Goody 1977) or translation (Clifford 1999, 2010)
according to the local codes
of success? What is the social logic that sustains and articulates these
behaviours of possession, exposure and self-communication?
We are theoretically proposing a concept of
success that is essentially relational. Constructed with reference to the
other, it is a permanent affirmation and communication of one’s social,
economic and symbolic status (Bourdieu 1972, 1979). For a better analysis of the concept and codes
of success we are proposing a wider vocabulary: succes (réussite) and its antonyms, failure and shame ; prestige,
honour, status; success displays such
as houses, cars, new technology (cell phones), music (manele), gestures, odours; the effects of mobility and migration on
local codes of success, and so on. These proposals are meant to incite
reflection; they are neither exclusive nor exhaustive.
We are expecting texts, in either English or
French, of 35.000 to 50.000 characters (with spaces) by July 15th, 2011. High quality images supporting the
argument are a plus in the selection process.
Please e-mail your submissions and any
inquiries (e.g. editorial guidelines) to Simina Badica (siminarb@gmail.com) and Daniela Moisa (dalimoisa@yahoo.com).

Karen Johnson Freeze Fellowship Fund [DL: 21 August 2011]
The Karen Johnson Freeze Fellowship Fund is an initiative of the Foundation for the History of Technology (SHT) and the Society for the History of Technology (SHOT) to encourage research in the field of history of technology in Central, Southeastern, and Eastern Europe. The fund also wants to contribute to the international dissemination of research results.
The Karen Johnson Freeze Fellowship Fund seeks to encourage scientific research and facilitate active participation of early career scholars in Central, Southeastern, and Eastern Europe, in particular in Albania, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Kosovo, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Poland, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, the Ukraine, and Turkey.
The fund was established in memory of Karen Johnson Freeze, who broadened the perspective of the history of technology through the inclusion of Eastern, Central, and South Eastern Europe. She was responsible for the early contacts with young scholars in the region and pointed out existing preconceptions and biases, while bridging the scholarly divisions created as a result of Cold War politics. Through her efforts, the history of technology has begun to develop as a field in Central and Eastern Europe. Within Society for the History of Technology (SHOT), she served as a very active chair of the International Outreach Committee.
Who should apply?
The Karen Johnson Freeze Fellowship Fund supports early career scholars preferably working in Central, Southeastern, and Eastern Europe in their pursuit of either pre- or postdoctoral research in the field of history of technology. The award may be used for travel and/or small stipends to provide a basic income for a few months. Through the fund, early career scholars will be allowed to attend international conferences or visit distant archives.
How to apply?
Send an application to the Foundation for the History of Technology. In your application, you should provide a research statement about your ongoing or future research (2-3 pages) and the way you want to use the Karen Johnson Freeze Fellowship within the context of your work (1 page).
