SLAVIC FORUM 2001
April 27-28, 2001
Graduate Student Conference
on Russian and Central/East European Literature, Linguistics and Culture
Slavic Forum 2001 will be held on the campus of the University of Chicago
on April 27th and 28th, 2001. We invite graduate students working in the
literatures and cultures of Russia, Central and Eastern Europe to submit
abstracts for a twenty-minute presentation. This year we are pleased to
expand our conference to include those working in Linguistics. Although
we will gladly consider proposals for any work in these fields, we are
particularly interested in submissions commemorating the new millennium
with a focus on transition not necessarily limited temporally: issues of
periodization such as Modernism, Post-modernism, New Sincerity,
Millenarianism, Apocalyptic discourse and Messianisms, genre hybrids,
interdisciplinary and new approaches in Slavic studies. We also welcome
and invite submissions that study ties between English-language
literatures and Russian literature, between languages, or between
literatures in English and the literatures of central/eastern Europe
(past presentations of this type have examined, for example, the
interactions of Polish and Irish Romanticism or the influence of Byron on
Aleksander Pushkin). We also welcome studies which examine texts in
English by writers from Russia (or central/eastern europe), such as the
english-language writings of authors such as Vladimir Nabokov or Milan
Kundera's writings in French.
Deadline for submission of abstracts: FEBRUARY 15, 2001
Please send a one-page abstract (approximately 250 words or less) to
Steven Clancy at sclancy@midway.uchicago.edu by February 15, 2001.
Although we prefer to receive abstracts via e-mail, they may be sent by
post to the following address:
