Workshop: Family and Household in Urban East and Southeast Europe (20th =
century)

Graz, May 18-20, 2006

The workshop will be organised by the Department of South East European =
History (University of Graz, Austria) and the International Institute of =

Social History (Amsterdam, The Netherlands), in cooperation with the =
Center for the Study of Balkan Societies and Cultures (CSBSC).

Participants: 15-20

The family and household in East and Southeast Europe has increasingly =
been an object of anthropological and historical research in the last =
decades.=20
John Hajnal's conclusion that marriage behaviour in Western Europe was =
principally different from that in the east has had tremendous impact in =
the historical studies of European marriage. In recent years, criticism =
of Hajnal's model has intensified, as the model is unable to account for =
the variations in nuptiality in all parts of Europe. While the research =
done on family and household west of Hajnal's line has been extensive, =
less=20
attention has been paid to Eastern Europe. Most of the research here has =
been concentrated on rural areas.

Therefore, the aim of the workshop is to bring together scholars =
studying family and household in urban East and Southeast Europe during =
the 20th=20
century. One concluding session will be dedicated to the discussion on =
Hajnal's line.

The workshop will focus on the following topics:

1. Marriage patterns
2. Residence patterns
3. Household size and structure
4. Divorce and remarriage
5. Religious, ethnic, economic and social factors influencing patterns =
of urban household formation
6. The impact of rural-urban migration on the family

Papers addressing the regional differences within a country or between =
different countries are especially welcome. The organisers are =
interested in both qualitative and quantitative analyses of family and =
household. Young scholars from East and Southeast Europe are strongly =
encouraged to=20
apply.

The paper proposal should be sent to the workshop organisers by =
September 1, 2005. The proposal should include the paper title, a =
200-250 word=20
abstract as well as the author's name, institution, address, e-mail, and =
a brief academic C.V. The proposal should specify the technical =
equipment=20
needed for an eventual presentation. The language of workshop will be =
English.

Organising committee:

- Siegfried Gruber (University of Graz)
- Gentiana Kera (CSBSC)
- Gijs Kessler (International Institute of Social History)
- Enriketa Papa (CSBSC)

Travel and Accommodation

There will be no registration fee for the participants. The organisers =
of the workshop will cover the accommodation costs of the participants. =
Efforts are being made to secure the funding of travel costs.
