Jewish Cultural Influences on Central and Eastern European Modernism and Avant-Garde before 1939(English version follows)PresentationLe colloque a pour objectif de jeter les bases d&#8217;un programme de recherche international. Le colloque se concentrera sur la question des fonctions des avant-gardes ainsi que des transferts et appropriations des influences et intertextes dans l&#8217;Europe interm&#233;diaire et du Nord dans la p&#233;riode qui s&#8217;&#233;tend de 1909 &#224; la fin de la guerre froide. &#171;&#160;Avant-garde&#160;&#187; s&#8217;entend ici selon les deux interpr&#233;tations traditionnelles du mot en tant que mouvement artistique ou litt&#233;raire qui revendique le r&#244;le &#171;&#160;d&#8217;art engag&#233;&#160;&#187;, participant au progr&#232;s social et politique de la soci&#233;t&#233;, soit s&#8217;affiche en tant qu&#8217;&#233;l&#233;ment r&#233;flexif, critique, voire destructeur, au sein de la modernisation.Etant donn&#233; la diversit&#233; des syst&#232;mes politiques dans l&#8217;aire g&#233;ographique concern&#233;e, qui se situe entre l&#8217;Allemagne et la Russie et s&#8217;&#233;tend des Balkans aux &#160;pays nordiques, il est clair que ces deux aspects de l&#8217;avant-garde ont connu des formes vari&#233;es. Mais le fait m&#234;me que des artistes dans des pays aussi profond&#233;ment diff&#233;rents que la Finlande, la Pologne et la Hongrie ont pu se d&#233;finir comme &#171;&#160;d&#8217;avant-garde&#160;&#187; (ou repr&#233;sentant un mouvement sp&#233;cifique d&#8217;avant-garde ou l&#8217;un de ses avatars comme le &#171;&#160;underground&#160;&#187;) appelle une recherche qui prendra en consid&#233;ration &#224; la fois diff&#233;rences et similitudes dans la multiplicit&#233; des motivations, des contextes et des traditions et dans le d&#233;sir de se connecter et de s&#8217;identifier &#224; un ph&#233;nom&#232;ne transnational. Il ne s&#8217;agira donc pas de l&#8217;avant-garde, mais des avant-gardes, non pas d&#8217;un mouvement ou d&#8217;un canon unique, mais d&#8217;un r&#233;seau polycentrique &#224; multiples n&#339;uds locaux et fonctions contextuelles.Les trois notions de &#171;&#160;transfert&#160;&#187;, &#171;&#160;appropriation&#160;&#187; et &#171;&#160;fonction&#160;&#187; sont propos&#233;s en tant que perspectives ou outils m&#233;thodologiques pour la r&#233;flexion. D&#8217;une part, le but du colloque sera de comprendre comment, par quelles cha&#238;nes de communication et &#224; travers quels sch&#233;mas d&#8217;interpr&#233;tation, les influences et les intertextes constitutifs pour les avant-gardes ont &#233;t&#233; transf&#233;r&#233;s d&#8217;un pays et d&#8217;un milieu culturel &#224; un autre. D&#8217;autre part, il s&#8217;agira d&#8217;analyser de quelle mani&#232;re les influences et les intertextes ont &#233;t&#233; l&#8217;objet d&#8217;appropriations et de transformations dans la production artistique et litt&#233;raire, et aussi quelles fonctions les avant-gardes ont eues dans des soci&#233;t&#233;s et des contextes artistiques diff&#233;rents (p.ex. critique de la soci&#233;t&#233; de consommation en Finlande, r&#233;sistance au totalitarisme dans l&#8217;Est). La recherche pourra se porter &#233;galement sur des &#171;&#160;cas n&#233;gatifs&#160;&#187; de r&#233;sistance ou de condamnation explicite des avant-gardes.En plus des analyses de cas historiques, le colloque accueillera une r&#233;flexion &#233;pist&#233;mologique et historique sur les relations entre centres et p&#233;riph&#233;ries, r&#233;flexion qui &#233;vitera de retomber dans l&#8217;application souvent critiqu&#233;e des mod&#232;les &#171;&#160;dominant vs. domin&#233;&#160;&#187; et &#171;&#160;pays &#233;metteur&#160;vs. pays r&#233;cepteur &#187; mais mettra plut&#244;t en &#233;vidence la multiplicit&#233;, la r&#233;ciprocit&#233; et le caract&#232;re productif des liens entre les pays concern&#233;s. Le colloque cherchera aussi &#224; d&#233;velopper, r&#233;orienter et approfondir la r&#233;flexion sur &#171;&#160;l&#8217;Europe litt&#233;raire&#160;et culturelle &#187; qui a commenc&#233; apr&#232;s la chute du mur de Berlin et s&#8217;est d&#233;velopp&#233;e apr&#232;s les &#233;largissements de l&#8217;Union Europ&#233;enne en 1995, 2004 et 2007. Cette r&#233;flexion s&#8217;est essentiellement concentr&#233;e sur l&#8217;Europe centrale et les Balkans et s&#8217;est limit&#233;e &#224; questionner le r&#244;le des litt&#233;ratures &#171;&#160;nationales&#160;&#187; dans l&#8217;histoire politique et culturelle. Le d&#233;placement de l&#8217;accent vers le Nord et l&#8217;analyse des avant-gardes, qui consistent essentiellement en pratiques artistiques critiques et transgressives et qui se sont d&#233;velopp&#233;es au sein de r&#233;seaux internationaux, permettront de mieux comprendre les tensions et les articulations entre diff&#233;rentes mani&#232;res de concevoir les identit&#233;s nationales et les appartenances internationales et leurs relations par rapport aux valeurs esth&#233;tiques et aux strat&#233;gies de contestation ou de r&#233;sistance. Malgr&#233; quelques publications r&#233;centes sur les avant-gardes de l&#8217;Est et du Nord, ce travail reste encore &#224; faire.Les personnes int&#233;ress&#233;es &#224; pr&#233;senter une communication sont invit&#233;es &#224; adresser, avant le 10 avril 2011, un r&#233;sum&#233; de 400 mots au maximum (accompagn&#233;s des nom, adresse et affiliation professionnelle de l&#8217;auteur) &#224; l&#8217;adresse suivante : &#60;harri.veivo@helsinki.fi&#62;.

English versionThe colloquium aims to lay the foundations for an international research program. The colloquium focuses on the functions of avant-gardes as well as on the transfers and appropriations of influences and intertexts in Central and Northern Europe in the period running from 1909 to the end of the Cold War. Avant-garde is here understood according to its two traditional interpretations as an artistic or literary movement that is willing either to take the role of &#8220;engaged art&#8221; promoting political and social progress or to position itself as a reflective, critical and even destructive element within modernisation.Given the diversity of the political systems in the geographical area in question, situated between Germany and Russia and stretching from the Balkans to the Nordic countries, it is clear that these two aspects of avant-garde have seen varying realisations. The very fact, however, that artists and writers in such profoundly different countries as for example Finland, Poland and Hungary have defined themselves as belonging to or being at the &#8220;avant-garde&#8221; (or as representing a specific avant-garde movement or one of its variants like the &#8220;underground&#8221;) calls for research that takes into consideration both the differences and the similarities in the multiplicity of motivations, contexts and traditions as well as in the desire to connect and identify with a transnational phenomenon. The colloquium will thus not focus on the avant-garde, but on the avant-gardes, not on one movement or canon, but on a polycentric network with multiple local knots and contextual functions.The three notions of &#8220;transfer&#8221;, &#8220;appropriation&#8221; and &#8220;function&#8221; are proposed as methodological tools or perspectives in focusing on the topic. On the one hand, the aim will be to understand how, through which channels of communication and through which schemes of interpretation, influences and intertexts crucial for the development of the avant-gardes have been transferred from one country and cultural environment to another. On the other hand, one has to analyse how these influences and intertexts have been appropriated and transformed in artistic and literary production, and further what functions avant-gardes have had in different societies and contexts of art and literature (for ex. criticism of consumer society in Finland, resistance to totalitarianism in the East). Focus can also be on &#8220;negative cases&#8221; marked by the resistance to and explicit condemnation of avant-gardes. Alongside of the analysis of specific historical cases, the colloquium welcomes epistemological and historical reflections on the relations between the centre and the periphery, reflections that will not reproduce the often criticized models of &#8220;dominating vs. dominated&#8221; or &#8220;sending vs. receiving country&#8221;, but instead will emphasize the multiple, reciprocal and productive aspects in the relations between countries. The colloquium will also seek to develop, reorient and deepen the discussion on the &#8220;literary Europe&#8221; that was started after the fall of the Berlin wall and has been further spurred with the enlargement of the European Union in 1995, 2004 and 2007. This discussion has mostly focused on Central Europe and the Balkans and on the role of &#8220;national&#8221; literatures in political and cultural history. Displacing the focus towards the North and on the avant-gardes, which consist to a large extent of critical and transgressive artistic practices and which have developed in international networks, will permit to understand better the tensions and articulations between national identities and international connections as well as the aesthetic values and strategies of contestation or resistance avant-gardes have been connected with. Although some publications on the avant-gardes of Northern and Eastern Europe have been published recently or are in the press, the work remains largely undone.&#160;Organizing committee:     Harri Veivo (CIEH&#38;CIEFi),     Peter Bal&#243;gh (CIEH&#38;CIEFi),     Judit Maar (CIEH&#38;CIEFi),     Traian Sandu (CIEH&#38;CIEFi).Scientific&#160;committee:     Harri Veivo (CIEH&#38;CIEFi),     Henri B&#233;har (University of Sorbonne Nouvelle),     Catherine Durandin (INALCO),     Evelyne Grossman (University of Paris Diderot),     Judit Karafi&#224;th (E&#246;tv&#246;s L&#243;r&#225;nd University, Budapest),     Tom Sandqvist (University College of Crafts, Arts and Design, Stockholm),     Peeter Torop (University of Tartu) et     Tanja &#216;rum (University of Copenhague).Informations    The official languages of the conference are French and English.
