As a moment when decolonization created immense possibilit= ies for liberation movements throughout the world, the 1960s became the hey= day of the "Second World" appeals to the newly decolonized societies of the= "Third World," as well as the reemergence of a European "First World" as a= postwar consumer society in reaction to American hegemony. This was the m= oment when the "orderedness" of the three worlds was arguably the most prom= inent in popular discourse and culture, and a moment when that order was co= ntested and destabilized. The patterns that first emerged in the 1960s - c= ultural contest, political mobility, urbanization and the rise of urban you= th movements, women's rights, the hegemony of popular over "high" culture d= riven by technology - form the bases of today's discussions of globalizatio= n, its challenges, dangers, and contestation. The purpose of this conference will be to use the Second World, the sociali= st societies of the 1960s, as the center from which to explore global inter= connections and uncover new and perhaps surprising patterns of cultural cro= ss-pollination. This forum will be structured around cities as the units of= analysis, and it will focus on the arena of popular culture as played out = in these city spaces. More specifically, we invite paper proposals that f= ocus on one of three realms of urban popular culture - media (including ci= nema, television, popular music); material culture (including spaces and th= eir uses as well as commodities), and leisure (including tourism and other = activities). We consider these exemplary of the circulation of objects, im= ages, sounds, and impressions on a level different from political programs,= literature and "fine arts." Several thematic threads will tie together thi= s consideration of the circulation of popular culture around and through th= e Second world: mobility and cultural transmission; youth cultures and stud= ent movements; gender; consumerism and hedonism; the state and cultural exc= hange; technology and cultural dissemination; cosmopolitan political mobili= zation. Our aims will be to consider what the "1960s" meant in socialist c= ountries, and to discuss the balance in the 1960s between cultural global i= ntegration and continuing political differentiation. The core of the forum will be the socialist societies of eastern Europe and= the Soviet Union, but the forum would be enriched by participation from sc= holars who study other socialist societies. We anticipate that the confer= ence will result in a published volume: submissions should be original work= , not previously published. The conference organizers are Diane P. Koenker, University of Illinois at U= rbana-Champaign (dkoenker@illinois.edu) and Anne E. Gorsuch, University of = British Columbia (gorsuch@interchange.ubc.ca). We welcome advance inquirie= s. Please send proposed paper title and abstracts to each of the organizers by= October 15, 2009. Proposals should indicate which of the conference theme= s the paper addresses, and the term "Sixties" or "1960s" should be explicit= in the paper title. Selection of participants will be made by November 30,= 2009, and conference papers should be submitted by April 1, 2010. The Ralph and Ruth Fisher Forum is held in conjunction with the Summer Rese= arch Laboratory on Russia, Eastern Europe, and Eurasia. The conference is m= ade possible by Mary and Hal Zirin's generous gift to the Ralph and Ruth Fi= sher Endowment Fund in honor of Professor Ralph Fisher and his wife Ruth.
