The following panels have been constituted by the Slavic Committee as part
of the MLA program for 2000:

"Public Spectacles" -- chair Vitaly Chernetsky <vac10 at COLUMBIA.EDU>

"The Mother-Daugher Syndrome" -- chair Bozena Shallcross
<bshallcr at indiana.edu>

"Marketing Culture" -- chair Christine Tomei <cdtomei at frontiernet.net>

"Bringing Out S/M" --chair Eleanor Kaufman, contact via David Goldfarb
<dgoldfarb at barnard.edu>

"Taboos" -- chair Helena Goscilo <goscilo+ at pitt.edu>

  [The official call for papers for the last panel reads as follows:
    TABOOS:  This panel examines the construction, perpetuation, and
violation of taboos (metaphysical, political,
     social, etc.) in the spheres of visual, verbal, and behavioral culture
in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union,
     as well as postsoviet Russia.

Slavists wishing to participate in any of the panels should submit a
one-page double-spaced abstract to the pertinent chair by March 10.  The
deadline for membership in MLA for participants in this year's conference
is
April 1st.  Those participating in both AATSEEL and MLA receive a discount
on their MLA registration, thanks
to Jerry Ervin's diplomatic skills.
