• Jaroměř – Josefov

Proposed International interdisciplinary workshop is organized by the Department of Theatre Studies, Faculty of Arts, Masaryk University in Brno in partnership with the Department of Theatre and Film Studies, Faculty of Arts, Palacký University Olomouc and Institute of Polish Culture, Faculty of Polish Studies, University of Warsaw. It is going to take place in Jaroměř - Josefov, East Bohemia, from the 31st of August to the 3rd of September 2017.

The Workshop will focus on relations between cultural performative actions and rituals and the public sphere. It brings together students and scholars to inquire collectively and collaboratively into relations between current cultural, and political processes in Central Europe, while methods from theatre and performance studies, cultural studies and anthropology are taken as a starting point for interdisciplinary exploration of the topic.

More specifically, three mixed Czech and Polish working groups will spend three days of intensive collaboration to share knowledge of a) “Folk politics,” and participatory and activist art, b) culture of protest and c) community arts and alternative social history. All three themes will be introduced by a keynote by an expert, and reflected upon in final general debate. Besides its educational aspect, the ambition of the workshop is to strengthen bonds between university students as well as scholars in Central Europe, to establish a broader platform for exchanging ideas across the field of cultural studies, social anthropology, and theatre and performance studies, and to develop innovative concepts to address their common research challenges.
