Call for Contributions: Edited Volume: Inclusion and Exclusion in Russian Language and Society

[Samantha Sherry]

Call for contributions: Edited Volume

Inclusion and Exclusion in Russian Language and Culture

Proposals are invited for papers complementing an existing list of contributions to an anthology entitled 'Inclusion and Exclusion in Russian Language and Culture'. Processes of inclusion and exclusion are powerful factors in creating identities, and this interdisciplinary collection will examine ideological production in Russian (both Soviet and post-Soviet) language and culture through the multiple tools of inclusion and exclusion. Contributions are invited from researchers in areas such as sociolinguistics, discourse analysis, culture, history, and translation. 

Contributors may wish to consider some of the following issues:

- The working of discourses to construct in and out groups. 
- Discourses of racism and other forms of discrimination.
- Language policy in Russia.
- The place of the Russian language outside Russia.
- Cultural means of creating inclusion and exclusion.
- Inclusion and exclusion in translation.
- Inclusion and exclusion in a historical perspective.
- Memory studies: ‘remembering’ or ‘forgetting’ aspects of the past. 

Proposals for chapters of between 7,000 and 9,000 words are invited by 22nd December 2012. Please send a 200-word abstract and a CV to: samantha.sherry at ed.ac.uk.
