At that time, the border between Austria and Russia...was one of the strangest areas... Vienna and St Petersburg were already starting to prepare for the Great War. The borderlanders felt it coming earlier... They even profited from these preparations. Any number of them lived from spying and counterspying...But here too, the soldiers drilled, as in any other garrison of the empire...Less than nine miles separated them from Russia. The Russian officers of the border regiment often came across...The two garrisons even maintained a certain camaraderie with each other. Joseph Roth, The Radetzky March
of new borders, as European leaders drew new lines according to ideas of self-determination. These, however, proved malleable and contested; throughout the interwar period and World War II politicians, armies and citizens shifted, created, and destroyed these new borders. Borders, in the 20th century, both witnessed and provoked violence. Borders that seemed eternal changed rapidly, and these changes carried administrative, political, and social consequences.

Program description
In The Radetzky March (1932) Joseph Roth reminds us that borders cannot be understood only as dividing lines. Borders divide, but they also create a community of "borderlanders"; borders may demarcate boundaries, even with guns and guards, but their very existence encourages trespassing. Yet the Habsburg Empire, so present in Joseph Roth's works, collapsed. World War I ended with the creation

Borders remain today a crucial issue across the post- Topics of investigation Soviet space in debate over both contemporary could include: geopolitics and historical legacies, as Russia's seizure of Crimea and the war in Ukraine's East have shown. Defining and defending borders Over the last several centuries, an inhabitant of Eastern Europe could be born in one country, grow up in another, die in a third, and yet never leave home. Shifting borders shaped not only place names, but also everyday lives and practices. Establishing, challenging, and guarding borders was inseparable from war, population exchanges, deportations, confinement, imprisonment. · Borders as object and result of power relations · Nationalism, separatism and new states · State borders vs. imperial borders vs. regional borders · Borders and armed conflicts; cross-border violence

Format: Workshop and Fieldwork
The Summer School is interdisciplinary and follows a workshop format. Each participant will present a pre-circulated paper and receive comments from a group of international faculty, as well as from other participants. Participants are expected to contribute actively to discussions and to participate in the extracurricular program. Throughout the week we will include roundtables, field visits, local interviews and excursions within the region. These off-site activities will contribute to our seminar discussions. Location: Chernivtsi (Ukraine)

The International Social Science Summer School in Ukraine takes place in a different city of Ukraine Duration every year. Previous schools have been held in One week, July 3-8. Uman (2009), Dnipropetrovsk (2010), Ostroh (2011), Zhytomyr (2012), Mykolaiv (2013) and Lviv (2014).

Chernivtsi is a quintessential border city. Nestled in the foothills of the Carpathian mountains on the Prut River, Chernivtsi is the gateway to the Bukovina region, an area contested, conquered, and lost by multiple empires and nations. Today the region is split between Ukraine, Moldova and Romania. The Romanian and Moldovan borders are only kilometers away from Chernivtsi. Chernivtsi, Cernauti, Czernowitz, Tschernovits, Chernovtsy -- the city's name echoes its multilingual and multiethnic heritage. The city was known as a cosmopolitan center, where the local population spoke at least six languages and enjoyed a rich and diverse cultural life. Austrians, Romanians, Ukrainians, Hungarians, Germans and Jews lived in this city, dubbed "Little Vienna." It was also, however, known as "Jerusalem upon the Prut," and at a conference in 1908 Jewish writers declared themselves for Yiddish as a literary language. Czernowitz native Paul Antschel, better known as Paul Celan, was a Jewish poet who chose to write in German, and the city now hosts a yearly international poetry festival in his name. Control of the city shifted constantly. During the First and Second World Wars its German, Jewish, Romanian, Polish, Russian, and Ukrainian inhabitants saw the city change hands several times, often at dramatic human cost. Claimed by the USSR in 1940, Chernivtsi fell to Nazi forces in 1940 and experienced Romanian occupation until 1944, when it became part of Soviet Ukraine until the USSR's collapse in 1991. Today, it is in independent Ukraine, but traces of its multi-ethnic past as a city on the border of national and imperial projects remain. Its beautiful architecture preserves much of the heritage of previous generations, and it features one of the region's largest Jewish cemeteries. Our summer school will take place in the Chernivtsi National University, whose main building is an architectural gem recognized by the UNESCO World Heritage List.
