Call for papers.
Women’s Organisations and Female Activists in the
Aftermath of the First World War: Central and Eastern Europe in National, Transnational, International and Global
Context.
An interdisciplinary, international conference to be
held at the HungarianAcademy of Sciences, Budapest, Hungary.
17th-19th May 2013.
Recent
developments in the social and cultural history of modern warfare have done
much to shed new light on the experience of the First World War, and in
particular how that experience was communicated in popular and high culture,
and in acts of remembrance and commemoration after 1918. The post-war period
(c. 1918-1923) is distinctive, both within individual nations and as a point of
international comparison.  It is
characterised by the often troubled transition from a wartime to a peacetime
society, continued conflicts over the repatriation of refugees and POWs;
revolutionary and counter- revolutionary violence in parts of Central and
Eastern Europe; and new ethnic and national conflicts arising from the collapse
of the former Russian, German, Austro-Hungarian, and Ottoman empires, and the
cultural anxieties that surrounded these events. Within this context, the role
of organised women's movements and female activists in the post-war period
takes on a new importance.
The
aim of this conference is to explore major comparative themes such as
citizenship, suffrage, nationalism, commemoration, revolution and militarised
technology from a national, international and transnational perspective. It
will have a particular focus on movements and activists operating in or
communicating with Central and Eastern Europe.
It will examine the work of organisations and individuals able to move across
international borders, such as the Women’s International League for Peace and
Freedom (WILPF) or the journalist Eleanor Franklin Egan, who reported on social
conditions throughout post-war Europe. The
role of such women and organisations in bringing about reconciliation and
facilitating cooperation between former enemy nations (cultural demobilisation,
‘the dismantlement of the mindsets and values of wartime’—John Horne) will also
be examined, as will the role of nationalist women's organisations in
perpetuating discourses of war and in facilitating the rise of new forms of
ethno-nationalism and racial intolerance (‘cultural remobilisation’) during the
period 1918-1923.
This
conference is the fourth in a series. The first conference, The Gentler Sex:
Responses of the Women’s Movement to the First World War, 1914-1919,
London, held in 2005, was followed in 2008 with Aftermaths of War: Women’s
Movements and Female Activists 1918-1923, Leeds, and in May 2012 with Women’s Organisations and Activists: Moving
Across Borders. Publications arising from the earlier conferences include
special issues of Minerva: Journal of Women and War and two edited
volumes: Fell, A.S. and Sharp, I.E. (eds) (2007) The Women's Movement in
Wartime. International Perspectives 1914-1919. Palgrave Macmillan and
Sharp, I.E and Stibbe, M (eds) (2011) Aftermaths of War: Women’s Movements and Female
Activists, 1918-1923 (Brill).  
The Budapest Conference is linked in particular
with the Hamline Conference which focused on the US experience and transnational
organisations. It is supported by a network grant from the UK-based Arts and
Humanities Rese arch Council (AHRC). Two special issues of a peer-reviewed
journal and a volume of comparative essays are planned for 2014, based on
papers given at both conferences.
