IAUS World Congress in Chernivtsi, 2002 (extended deadline)

[Robert De Lossa]

The Organizing Committee of the Vth World Congress has extended its
deadline for submission of proposals until January 2, 2002. The full
text of the call for papers follows.

Robert De Lossa, for the IAUS Executive Committee

=============================================

CALL FOR PAPERS: Vth WORLD CONGRESS OF INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF
UKRAINIAN STUDIES

The Vth Congress of the International Association of Ukrainian
Studies (IAUS) will convene in Chernivtsi on August 26-29, 2002. It
will be the first Congress to take place after a decade of Ukrainian
independence.

The very fact of Ukraine's independence has provided Ukrainianists
with new perspectives in research. Today it becomes ever more evident
that both the character and trajectory of Ukraine's post-communist
transformation--its successes and failures--are to a large extent
dependent on the previous historical and cultural legacy of Ukraine.
The present "state of the nation" calls for a critical reassessment
of this legacy--for a closer analysis of those elements that are
presently responsible for structural benefits and/or constraints on
the evolution of culture and society in Ukraine and that will
continue to have a long-term impact on Ukraine's development. Of
special interest is the multicultural character of this legacy, which
has not yet been adequately integrated into Ukrainian studies.

The Executive Committee of IAUS and presidents of the IAUS national
affiliates hereby invite submissions from all scholars who deal
directly or indirectly with Ukrainian culture, history, literature,
language, social and cultural studies, and politics and government.
IAUS will accept proposals for individual papers within the
applicant's area of specialization. Individual submissions will be
assessed and grouped with thematically similar papers into panels.
IAUS also invites proposals for symposia, panels, and roundtable
discussions, especially those that focus on the main themes of the
Congress as outlined above. When organizing symposia, panels, or
roundtable discussions, we ask that special attention be paid to
facilitating the inclusion of the younger generation of scholars, as
well as balancing international representation. (Proposals with
participants from different national affiliates are especially
encouraged.) IAUS also encourages proposals that consist of
presentations of scholarly and professional projects that have been
realized during the past decade, as well as educational initiatives
that focus on reforming Ukrainian studies and related fields.

Chernivtsi (Czernowitz) has been chosen as the site of the Congress
because of its unique multicultural legacy and rich academic
traditions. It also is well known as the center of Bukovyna, one of
the most picturesque regions of Ukraine. We hope very much that the
"Genius loci" will encourage open academic discussion and impart
every participant in the Congress with pleasant memories.

The deadline for proposal submissions is December 1, 2001. Submission
guidelines are attached. All relevant information is also found on
the internet at www.ukrainianstudies.org.


SUBMISSION GUIDELINES FOR PROPOSALS: IAUS Vth WORLD CONGRESS,
CHERNIVTSI, UKRAINE (AUGUST 26­29, 2002)

The main languages of the Congress are Ukrainian and English.
However, submissions and presentations in one of the following
languages will also be accepted: French, German, Italian, Polish, and
Russian. Each presentation should be no longer than 20 minutes and
the length of papers should not exceed 2500 to 3000 words. Panel and
roundtable proposals should include no more than three papers and two
discussants. Symposia proposals should include no more than four
panels.

The deadline for paper abstracts and/or panel and roundtable
proposals is January 2, 2002. Along with the abstract, applicants
should provide the following information: academic affiliation (if
any); position/title; a mailing address; telephone/e-mail/fax; and a
short biography, curriculum vitae, a list of recent publications (if
relevant), and any audio/visual needs for your presentation (if
necessary). Application materials should be sent to the presidents of
the national affiliates, as listed below. (For those in countries
without a national representation, please direct applications to
Yaroslav Hrytsak of the IAUS Executive Committee,
hrytsak at franko.lviv.ua.) Please note that the abstracts provided in
December do not need to be in the language in which the paper will be
presented. However, please indicate on the abstract the language of
final presentation. This will not be a binding commitment, but is
necessary for organizing purposes. Panel and symposium proposals
should include full information for each panelist, as well as for the
organizer (even if he or she is not presenting a paper). Panel and
symposium proposals may be sponsored formally by national affiliates
or other academic institutions. The registration fee for the Congress
is $75.00 US per person. Instructions for payment of the registration
fee will be sent by the national committees after receipt of the
applications.

Successful applicants must provide a 400 to 500 word synopsis of
their talk to IAUS in Kyiv by May 21, 2002 (all languages other than
Ukrainian) or June 21, 2002 (Ukrainian). Those who submit their
synopses in languages other than Ukrainian are asked to pay a nominal
fee of $10.00 US per synopsis--the IAUS will then have the synopses
translated, so that Ukrainian-language synopses of all papers at the
Congress are available during the Congress.

Applicants do not need to be members of IAUS national affiliates to
attend the Congress, although we strongly encourage applicants to
join their respective national organizations. Further information
about the Congress (including accommodations and special events) will
be posted at www.ukrainianstudies.org as it becomes available.

We look forward to seeing you in Chernivtsi!
