The International Tolstoy Conference at Seoul 2010 

KOREAN ASSOCIATION OF RUSISTS & 

INSTITUTE OF RUSSIAN AND CIS STUDIES AT KOREA UNIVERSITY 

KOREA UNIVERSITY, SEOUL, KOREA 

OCTOBER 1-2, 2010 



On the centennial of Leo Tolstoy's passing, the Korean Association of Rusists 
invites academic faculty, independent scholars, and graduate students 
working on Leo Tolstoy to submit abstracts for an international conference at 
Seoul, October 1-2, 2010.  The conference aims at analyzing legacies of the 
great Russian master not only in literature and arts but also in other disciplines 
such as philosophy, education, and science. Looking back at Leo Tolstoy in 
the age of globalization ultimately leads us to reconsider the writer's place for 
the present and future.  New methodologies and perspectives to cast a light 
on Tolstoy's life and work are particularly welcome.  


The following themes are to be considered for panel topics:   

- Why Still Tolstoy? 

- Revisiting Tolstoy in 21st Century 

- Digital Tolstoy 

- Tolstoy Beyond Literary Text 

- Reconsidering Tolstoy's Life and Legacy 

- Tolstoy in Life 

- Tolstoy in East Asia 

- Tolstoy, Text, and Communication 

- Glocal Tolstoy   


All international participants will be provided with two nights accommodation in 
Seoul.  


For questions, please contact Saera Yoon at sayoon at unist.ac.kr.  To 
contribute, please send a proposal to the above e-mail by April 10 2010.  
Paper proposals should include a title and a 300-word abstract, along with a 
short curriculum vitae.
