Description of the research topic:

"From 1989 onwards, the politico-economic transition of Central and Eastern European countries undoubtedly brought a conceptual diversification in terms of the approaches to human geography; nonetheless, as a significant (and still existing) theoretical and empirical research gap, the sub-discipline of cultural geography was largely left untouched by these changes. Although ‘new cultural geography’ turned out to be one of the most vital fields of human geography from the 1980s, geographers of Central and Eastern European countries placed relatively little emphasis on research foci associated with it (such as the questions of identities and the body, subcultures, the practices of everyday life, landscape iconography, artistic representations and so forth). In the course of this PhD study, in order to fill this gap, the applicant should: (i) either be mapping the different disciplinary histories and trajectories of cultural geography in the Anglo–American and the Central and Eastern European contexts, or (ii) carrying out empirical work connected to research topics associated with ‘new cultural geography’ or more contemporary (non-representational and more-than-representational) cultural geography.
