[Ulrich Schmid]

XIIth Symposium of the International Dostoevsky Society
Geneva, Sept. 1-6, 2004


Call for Papers

The XIIth International Dostoevsky Symposium will be held at the
University of Geneva (Switzerland) from Sept. 1-6, 2004. We expect more
than 100 participants from Russia, USA, Europe, Asia and Australia.
Symposium papers should mirror current research on various aspects of
Dostoevsky’s works and life. The organizing committee especially
welcomes papers based on new methodological approaches, in the fields of
cultural, sociological or gender studies. We encourage papers on the
topic «Dostoevsky and Russian émigré literature» which will be a main
focus at Geneva.
Presentations should last exactly 20 minutes. Proposals for panels of
4-6 participants may also be submitted. Conference languages will be
Russian, English, French and German (Russian and English preferred). A
small selection of papers given at the conference will be published in a
separate volume of the series «Basler Studien zur Kulturgeschichte Osteuropas».
Each symposium applicant is asked to send:
- an electronic abstract (300 words) (for the selection committee)
- and a short CV (1 page) (for the Swiss National Foundation for
Scientific Research)
Abstract and short CV should be submitted by

May 1, 2003

to Ulrich Schmid, Executive Secretary of the International Dostoevsky
Society (secretary at dostoevsky.org). An international selection committee
will review the submissions, and decisions will be announced by August
15, 2003.
All submissions must be sent as electronic files (preferrably Word, but
also PDF or HTML). Applicants must also provide a valid e-mail address
for correspondence. Print submissions will only be considered under
exceptional circumstances.  Successful applicants from East European
Countries and the former Soviet Union are eligible for visa support and
for supplementary funding if their own institutions and other local
sources cannot provide the support they need. No funding will be
provided for applicants from other countries.
An excursion to places relevant to Dostoevsky (Geneva, Vevey, Saxon)
will be organized.
Current information on the conference will be published on the official
site of the International Dostoevsky Society (www.dostoevsky.org).
