Call for Papers: “Local Communities and New Elites in Austria-Hungary” (Warsaw 12–13 June 2023)
Art and Heritage in Central Europe
Research Group on the Slavic Cultures in the Habsburg Monarchy at the Institute of Western and Southern Slavic Studies, University of Warsaw, T. Manteuffel Institute of History, Polish Academy of Sciences and German Historical Institute in Warsaw kindly invite to an international conference: “Local Communities and New Elites in Austria-Hungary”, to be held in Warsaw on 12–13 June 2023.
The conference aims to pose the question how the elites of new communities or of those that had to redefine themselves were formed. We are interested in the local perspective and local reflections of ongoing processes in general, as they have not been sufficiently represented in research on the cultural and socio-political space of the Habsburg monarchy.
The outcomes of the conference will be a multi-author monograph in English; a review procedure will be applied.
Please send 200–300 words abstracts and a short bio by 15 March 2023 to: habsburgstudies@uw.edu.pl. Admission decisions will be announced by 10 April 2023.
