 From Slavic Review: Call for Papers: Borat: Eurasia, American Culture, and 
Slavic Studies

Few recent works of literature or film have made Eurasia as central and,
perhaps, as flagrantly irrelevant to the American experience as Sacha
Baron Cohen's hit film, Borat.  In many respects this movie touches on key
aspects of our discipline and expertise, and it also marks the distance
that "Eurasia" has traveled in the American mentality since the appearance
of other epoch-defining films (From Russia With Love, Doctor Zhivago, The
Manchurian Candidate). Slavic Review invites its readers to submit
contributions for a cluster of scholarly essays on Borat.
Contributions may use the methodologies of any
discipline so long as they relate in some substantial way to Borat and to
interaction between Eurasia and the West.
Length should not exceed 5000 words. Contributions
will be peer reviewed and must be received by the end of March  2007. If
you have questions, please contact the editor, Mark Steinberg, at 
slavrev at uiuc.edu.
