De-Centering Cold War History:<br>
Street-Level Experiences and Global Change<br>
<br>
Cold War histories are often told as stories of national leaders, state
policies and the global confrontation that pitted a Communist Eastern
Block against a Capitalist West. We acknowledge the important
consequences of this global competition, of the arms race, and of
international diplomacy and détente, but we seek to bring together
scholars who contribute new analytical approaches to reveal the
complexities in the historical trajectory of the Cold War.<br>
To this end, we plan to engage in a collaborative effort to present and
publish a street-level history of the global Cold War era. As three
collaborators from different fields, we issue this CFP first for a
Conference Presentation at the University of Arizona (November
4-November 7, 2010). Second, we will publish selected conference
presentations in a Special Edition Journal. We invite contributions
that challenge Cold War master narratives with a focus on super-power
politics and de-center a historical narrative that situates the Soviet
Union and the United States at the core and the “rest of the world” in
the periphery. Your analytical approach should consider local-level
experiences and regional initiatives that contributed to the making of
a Cold War world; all geographical regions are welcome and
cross-disciplinary approaches are encouraged. Our primary goal is to
inspire a fruitful dialogue and new forms of collaboration among
interdisciplinary scholarly approaches and to forge new research
directions in the study of the Cold War. <br>
At the Conference, we envision a combination of intensive workshops
among participants, as well as panels and presentations open to the
public. We ask Conference participants to arrive by Thursday. Friday
and Saturday will be structured around presentations for the public in
the mornings (Friday and Saturday, 9:00 – 10:45 AM and 11:15 to 1:00
PM), and workshops with participants in the afternoons (Friday and
Saturday, 3:00 to 6:00 PM). Conference participants (and journal
contributors) will receive reimbursement for travel to Tucson, Arizona,
to attend the Conference; this invitation will include food and
accommodation (three nights) on location.<br>
<br>
Please send your 500-word proposal for an individual presentation and a
short curriculum vitae (latest by August 25, 2010) to:<br>
