Call For Papers

The North American Chekhov Society (NACS) is issuing a call for papers
to be presented at the Chekhov Centenary Symposium that will take place
on Thursday, October 14, 2004, at Colby College in Waterville, Maine.
The NACS Chekhov Centenary Symposium will be followed by a two-day
conference (October 15-16, 2004) dedicated to the American reception of
Chekhov. Participants in the latter meeting the full breadth of which
remains contingent on funding will include translators, theater scholars
and directors, writers and public critics, and physicians and scholars
working in the medical humanities. Prospective participants in the NACS
symposium can thus plan on attending three days of presentations and
roundtables on Chekhov, with all NACS papers to be delivered on
Thursday, October 14. The jubilee event will include Chekhov
performances and demonstrations by two New York theater groups.

Organizers of the Chekhov Centenary Symposium welcome the broadest range
of scholarly approaches and topics. Papers may be delivered in English
or Russian and should be twenty minutes long. Graduate students working
on Chekhov are encouraged to present. A title and abstract must be
submitted no later than May 31, 2004.

Colby College is situated in Waterville, Maine, an hour-plus drive from
the airports in Portland and Bangor, or three hours by car north of
Boston, and six hours southeast of Montreal. Information on travel and
accommodations will be sent to participants in June, 2004.

Please send two copies of your title and abstract, one to each of the
conference co-organizers, by post or e-mail. Include your name, address,
telephone, e-mail, fax, and institutional affiliation.
