[Elise Thorsen]

DEADLINE EXTENSION: DECEMBER 20, 2008


Studies in Slavic Cultures VIII

University of Pittsburgh, Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures



Call for Papers: MEMORY



How does memory mediate between events of the past and the demands of
the present?  What are the mechanisms and motivations for memory
creation in Slavic cultures?  How is memory used as a cultural device,
and why?  In what spaces do individual and group memories enter into
contact or conflict?



Studies in Slavic Cultures is accepting submissions for the 2009
issue. The theme of this issue is "Memory," and we welcome graduate
student submissions investigating any aspect of this topic in relation
to literary, visual, performative, and other areas of contemporary or
non-contemporary culture in Russia and Eastern Europe.



The new deadline for submissions is DECEMBER 20, 2008. Queries and
submissions should be sent to Erin Alpert, Olga Klimova, and Elise
Thorsen at sisc at pitt.edu
