Six Doctoral and Postdoctoral Fellowships for 2011
Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florence (Max-Planck-Institute)
Deadline: September 15, 2010
Art, Space and Mobility in the Early Ages of Globalization. The Mediterranean, Central Asia and the Indian Subcontinent (MeCAIS) 400-1650
The Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florence (Max-Planck-Institute) is pleased to announce the start of the second year of the research program "Art, Space and Mobility in the Early Ages of Globalization: The Mediterranean, Central Asia and the Indian Subcontinent (MeCAIS) 400-1650", sponsored by the Getty Foundation. It offers up to six non-residential doctoral/postdoctoral fellowships, beginning Jan. 1,
2011. The project rethinks the postcolonial agenda through a study of premodern world orders and historical concepts of space and mobility with special attention to artistic objects, monuments and heritage. The fellowship program is intended for young scholars who are working towards a Ph.D., as well as those candidates who already possess a Ph.D. (obtained no earlier than 2005). The fellowships are mainly open to archaeologists, art historians, and, in exceptional cases, to scholars of related fields like anthropology, history, philology and religious studies. The program especially welcomes applications from young scholars of Mediterranean countries and Asia. We seek projects with a broad appeal grounded in a thorough study of objects, and fellows whose interests focus on intercultural and interartistic agency; the mobility of ideas, artists and works of arts; and the creation or transformation of spaces within the chronological and topographical framework of the program. Applicants should be interested in premodern models of globalization while adopting an interdisciplinary perspective in their study of artistic objects, images and/or texts. Participants are invited to take part in the creation of a research network that will connect specialists in Western, Islamic, Byzantine, Indian, Central and East Asian art. Projects may consider one of the following questions according to the thematic focuses of the program: (Trans)formation of Topographies; Spaces of Power and Religion; Borderlines between Nature and Culture; Visual Culture and Systems of Knowledge; Transforming Artistic Languages; Making, Remaking and Exchanging: Art and its Techniques; Historiographies and Narratives.
The fellowships are non-residential. Research could primarily be conducted at the fellows' home institutions. At the same time, fellows will participate in a series of workshops in Berlin and Florence as well as in summer schools and seminars to be held in countries of the MeCAIS region. The working language is English.
Fellowships are for one year. Their amount follows international standards and varies according to the specific conditions of the applicants and their research environment.
The deadline for application is September 15, 2010. Results will be announced in early October 2010. Applicants should send a C.V., a research proposal, one substantial writing sample or a portfolio, and two letters of recommendation to:

Doctoral and Post-Doctoral short-term fellowships on memory and
memorialization
Deadline: June 25, 2010
Institutions: CNRS (France), New York University (USA), Memorial de Caen
(France), National Memorial & Museum September 11 (USA) Website:
www.cnrsnyu.com)
Program Leaders: Edward Berenson (NYU) and Denis Peschanski (CNRS)
We are offering 8 short-term fellowships for advanced doctoral candidates and post-docs who have earned the Ph.D. within the past three years. Fellowships provide round-trip transportation and one or two months of lodging in either New York (NYU), Paris (ENS Cachan), or Caen. There is no cash stipend.
Our funding source requires us to limit these fellowships to doctoral candidates and post-doctoral scholars studying or working in France or in the US. Those residing in France will be invited to New York; those residing in the US to Paris and/or Caen.
Fellowships will be timed to coincide with our research seminars taking place in New York and Paris from October 2010 to May 2011. All fellowship applications should indicate the month or months when you would like to be in either New York or Paris.
Fellows will play an integral role in our research project, "Memory and
Memorialization: Representing Trauma and War." This project brings together many of the world's leading academic experts and researchers on memory (in its historical, socio-cultural and neurological manifestations) with top museum professionals and other "memory workers" whose charge is the development and operation of contemporary memorial museums. In doing so, we combine theory and practice both to study questions of memory and memorialization and to place those questions before the public at large. The partnership will create a formal, ongoing platform for exchanges across national, professional and disciplinary boundaries, and it will play a major role in training graduate students working in these areas.
The program focuses on four prominent issues. 1) the perception and representation of historical events; 2) the complex relationships between history and memory; 3) the workings of trauma and resilience; 4) the cognitive and neurobiological dimensions of memory. This original, innovative and interdisciplinary program is unique in its scope and contemporary relevance: it involves two major research institutions (NYU and the CNRS); two major memorial museums (Caen and
September 11); and cuts across a variety of disciplines in the humanities, social sciences and cognitive sciences.
Fellows are expected to participate in the seminars that take place while they are in residence. They are also asked to submit a 20-page research paper by the end of the summer following their research stay. A selection of the papers will be published in a volume edited by Denis Peschanski and Edward Berenson.
Fellowship application:
1.. A 1,000-word (4-page) description of the candidate's research project.
2.. One letter of recommendation
3.. Deadline: June 25, 2010
4.. Send applications (in English ou en français) to
edward.berenson@nyu.edu and denis.peschanski@univ-paris1.fr
