Call for papers: NeMLA, Boston 2009

[Francoise Rosset]

Dear SEELangs kollegi:

Below is a call for papers for the 2009 NeMLA (Northeast MLA) 
convention, to be held in Boston, February 26-March 1.

Please consider this conference as well. The current pattern is that 
Slavists barely participate in NeMLA. (As far as I know, this is the 
only Russian or Slavic panel at this convention 
). Would be nice to 
change that.

Please submit abstracts to me by September 15, at the e-mail address 
below.

For info about NeMLA itself, and the convention, see:

http://www.nemla.org/convention/cfp08.html
(we're listed under "world literatures")

Panel title: Russian Poetry: Text and Context
Panel chair: Francoise Rosset, Russian, Wheaton College, MA

This panel welcomes submissions on a wide range of topics in Russian 
poetry. We will consider all time periods, but prefer the nineteenth 
century and later. The focus of the paper should be the context of the 
poetic text ((literary, political, artistic, etc. contexts). We 
welcome a variety of approaches, including interdisciplinary 
interpretations.
Please send abstracts to: frosset at wheatonma.edu

Thank you, and enjoy what's left of the summer,
-FR
