Leiden University Centenary Conference of Slavic Studies, Call for Papers

[Jaap Kamphuis]

*Dear Seelangers,*
* *
*In 2013 (9-11 October), Leiden University celebrates the Centenary of its
Chair in Slavic Languages. On this occasion, the Department of Russian
Studies is organizing an international conference: The Language of Power
and the Power of Language. *

*How are public discourses and political motives connected in the modern
Russian context? To address this question, we wish to invite all those
interested to participate in an academic enquiry into this fascinating
theme. The conference will provide a forum for discussion of the
linguistic, historical, cultural and political dimensions of the
power-language nexus in three workshops.*

*Workshop I (on linguistics): Linguistic Voluntarism in Russia and Eurasia
(keynote speaker: Lenore Grenoble)*
*Workshop II (on politics): The Linkage of Political and National
Identities in Russia (keynote speaker: Marlène Laruelle)**Workshop III (on
history/culture): Russian History and the Culture of Remembrance (keynote
speaker: Frederick Corney)*

*Participation in the workshop is on the basis of invitation and proposed
papers. If you are interested in participating, you can apply through the
conference website
