CALL FOR PAPERS
The University of Chicago
SLAVIC FORUM
Graduate Student Conference
On Slavic and East/Central European Literatures
AN INTERDISCIPLINARY CONFERENCE
Chicago, Illinois
April 24-25, 1998
DEADLINE FOR ABSTRACTS: FEBRUARY 6, 1998
The University of Chicago Slavic Forum invites graduate students working
with the literatures and cultures of Russia and Central/Eastern Europe to
submit abstracts for a twenty-minute presentation.
Although we welcome abstracts on all topics related to Slavic and
East/Central European literatures, this year's conference is especially
interested in interdisciplinary approaches to literature and culture. We
are actively seeking papers which put to use the best of cultural theory
and popular culture studies, post-totalitarian/ post-modernist critical
methods, as well as approaches that focus on the new nationalisms of the
region, multi- and inter-medial arts (film, photography, music) and various
"non-traditional" treatments of the literatures and cultures of the region
under consideration.
This year's conference is sponsored in part by the Chicago Humanities
Institute.
Interested graduate students should send their abstracts (of 250 words or
less) to the following address:
SLAVIC FORUM
Attn: Malynne Sternstein, Assistant Professor
Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures
The University of Chicago
1130 East 59th Street
Chicago, Illinois 60637
Abstracts may also be submitted by e-mail to m-sternstein at uchicago.edu.
