Dear Slavists,

Due to a late rearrangement, I am now looking for a second and third paper
as well as a discussant for a 2012 ASEEES panel on the theme of the
Decadent movement in Central and Eastern Europe.  Proposals may include
topics drawn broadly from the prose, poetry, art and criticism of the
period of Decadence in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries.
The single proposed paper deals with the oeuvre of Czech author Julius
Zeyer and the mystical theology present in a key prose work, *Tří Legendy o
Krucifixu* (*Three Legends of the Crucifix*).  Papers of other national
literatures are welcome as the ideal panel will re-examine and address a
range of expressions of the Decadence as a phenomenon outside of its
Western European context.


please reply off-list to amgroce at fas.harvard.edu


Best wishes,

Alexander Groce,
