Activities

This standing open call for Grant Period 4 has been now reopened.

The spring online lecture series of the Forum in Literary Studies at the Institute of Czech Literature of the CAS will offer insight into current research topics of cultural dissent before 1989 in Central and Eastern Europe, especially issues of gender, alternative culture, mediality, transnationality and leftist thinking.

We aim to develop a strong cohort of scholars of East European cultures of dissent who are fluent with the concepts and practices of digital history, and interested in carrying out larger-scale, possibly collaborative projects in the future.
