On September 29 and 30, the Université libre de Bruxelles hosted the workshop “When Rural Meets Urban : Networks of ‘Regional’ Modernisms”, organised in the framework of the ULB-Oxford research project “When Rural Meets Urban: Towards A Cultural History of Modernisms in Bohemia 1895-1925”.
Led by Professors Petra James (Département de Langues et Lettres modernes, ULB) and Rajendra Anand Chitnis (Sub-Faculty of Russian and Slavonic Studies, University of Oxford), it is one of the nine research projects supported by the Foundation for the 2022-2024 period.
“This project”, the promoters write, “launches a major collaboration between ULB and Oxford to write a cultural history of Modernism in Bohemia that challenges the dominant center-periphery narratives by combining study of national contexts with tracing transnational networks”.
More information about the workshop is available on the website of the ULB Faculty of Letters, Translation and Communication.
