> CALL FOR PAPERS FOR AN INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
>
> `IN THE MASTER'S ABSENCE: THE UNKNOWN BAKHTIN CIRCLE'
>
> TO BE HELD ON 7 - 9 OCTOBER 1999
>
> As its title makes clear, the conference will focus on the
> significance of the work of members of the Bakhtin Circle other
> than Bakhtin himself, thereby resisting the widespread tendency
> to underestimate the intellectual independence, scholarly
> credentials and, not least, influence on Bakhtin of Voloshinov,
> Medvedev and other members of the Circle. We aim to investigate
> and discuss the historical contexts, the scope and the impact of
> their writings, as well as to allow for the presentation of new
> archival material pertaining to their scholarly careers.
>
> Speakers will include:
>
> Dmitrii Iunov on Valentin Voloshinov;
> Iurii Medvedev on his father, Pavel Medvedev;
> Vladimir Alpatov on the Bakhtin Circle and Linguistics;
> Nikolai Nikolaev on Lev Pumpianskii;
> Brian Poole on Matvei Kagan;
> Galin Tihanov on Medvedev and Eurasianism;
> Craig Brandist on the `Disputed Texts'.
>
> Proposals are invited for additional papers (up to 40 minutes)
> in which the principal point of reference should be the work of
> any member or members of the Bakhtin Circle other than Bakhtin,
> although of course it is not expected that discussion of Bakhtin
> can or should be avoided altogether.
>
> Proposals (up to 500 words) should be sent no later than 20 June
> 1999 to one of the following:
