NACS Chekhov Jubilee Symposium

[Michael Finke]

The North American Chekhov Society Chekhov Centenary Symposium

Anton Chekhov (1860-1904)

Call For Papers

The North American Chekhov Society (NACS) would like to remind
SEELANGers of its call for papers to be presented at the Chekhov
Centenary Symposium that will take place on Thursday, October 7, 2004,
at Colby College in Waterville, Maine. The NACS Chekhov Centenary
Symposium will be followed by a two-day conference (October 8-9, 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,
prominent writers and 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 7.

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 brief abstract are
requested by May 31, 2004.

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