It will concentrate on "new Music" ("neue Musik"), musical modernisms and avant-gardes in those parts of Europe which have recently been "honoured" with the title of the "new Europe". In the past they have been called the "periphery" of Europe, an "extraterritorial" sphere (Adorno), the "Morgenland", Eastern Europe, or, less pejoratively, "Central and Eastern" Europe, and, least pejoratively, "Central Europe". (However, even this description involves an implicit charge of orientalism, as do all the others.) A German historian, Ferdinand Seibt, has highly praised the impressive political and cultural advance made in the European periphery at the beginning of the 14th century - a medieval periphery consisting not only of the Czech Lands, Hungary, Poland, Lithuania and Serbia, but including also Spain, England and Denmark. The topic of the conference focuses on musical life between the two World Wars in areas beyond the traditional "Abendland" - beyond the axis Paris-Berlin. Comparative analyses of particular concepts of modernism in music, accounts of the institutional contexts of new music, and aspects of reception history are of special interest. Nevertheless, comparative studies mapping the landscape of the "old" Europe are equally welcome, as are aspects of the history of the reception of peripheral music in the alleged "centre". All prospective participants should submit a 300-word abstract by 31 May 2003, together with a brief curriculum vitae, and their postal and e-mail addresses. Presentations of papers should not exceed 20 minutes. Papers will be accepted in English and German. There are no interpreting facilities available in the conference rooms. The active participants will be offered accommodation in an international hotel free of charge. Further information will be progressively available on the web page of the Institute of Musicology of the Masaryk University Brno: http://www.musicologica.cz under the heading Kolokvium.

Behrends (Herder-Institut, Marburg), Polly Jones (St. Antony's College, Oxford), Florence, Italy 15.05.2003-16.05.2003, La Capella, European University Institute, Florence Despite the enormous effect of the cult of communist party leaders on the everyday experience of the people of the Soviet Union and other communist dictatorships in Central and Eastern Europe, the leader-cult phenomenon remains relatively understudied by historians. It is frequently referred to, and is often dealt with, within a broad historical context, but comprehensive and concise case studies on the cult of Stalin and the cults of his followers in the Central-Eastern European satellite states (Rákosi, Bierut, Gottwald, Ulbricht, Gheorgiu-Dej etc.) are very few in number. Moreover, the concept of the 'cult of personality' - a Soviet euphemism in itself - remains unclear and vague, both in general historiography, and in the political language of the Stalin- and post-Stalin-era. This term is heavily loaded thus we should aim for an understanding of its function within communist political discourse rather than assigning intrinsic meaning to it. The workshop will focus on the omnipresent leader-cult phenomenon in the Stalin-era and in the immediate post-Stalin period until the 22nd Congress of the CPSU in 1961. Its main goal is to define the primary social function of the cult of leaders in Stalinist societies. Was it the creation of a myth of legitimacy? If yes, then did the party-state manage to achieve its goal of attaining additional legitimacy through the leader cult? Can we speak of the party-state's attempt to mass-manufacture charisma in the Weberian sense of the term? Through its analytical-comparative perspective, the workshop will also try to shed light on the relationship between the cults of local, national leaders and the cult of Stalin, which overshadowed them. Through investigating the manifestations of individual leader-cults in the Soviet Bloc we hope to further investigate how the patterns of Stalin's representations were adopted and modified in different national contexts and what constituted the 'national' peculiarities of each satellite party leader's cult. We would also like to clarify how these "Byzantine" cults were perceived in the different cultural settings of the Soviet Union and the Central European "people's democracies". Apart from that, the overall structure and organisation of the cults will be examined as well - both on a national and international level - to demonstrate the hierarchical nature of the cult phenomenon. Finally, we would also like to stress the series of problems that arose in Russia and in the bloc when Khrushchev launched the campaign of dismantling the "cult of personality" from above in de-Stalinisation. In conclusion, we hope to be able to form the first synthesis on this important aspect of Stalinist society. 15 May, 2003 Opening Session: Leader Cults in European and Soviet contexts (Chair: Arfon Rees) 9.30-10.30 Arfon Rees (EUI, Florence): Cults, Varieties and Preconditions 10.30-11.30 Robert Service (St. Antonys's College, Oxford): Twentieth-Century Political Cults Coffee break (11.30-12.00) Panel 1: The Making of the Cult.
