searching for a chair for the panel

[Mirna Solic]

Dear all,

My colleagues and me are looking for a chair for our panel at the 36th AAASS
convention which will be held in Boston next December. Please let me know if
you're interested or if you know anyone whom could we possibly contact. The
description of our panel is below.

best,

Mirna Solic


Panel Title: Searching for New Cultural Coordinates in Reversion and
Connection: Three Examples from South Slavic Literature
Panel Category: Literature
Explanation of Panel's Theme: The panel will examine different poetical
influences as reflections of social contexts affecting the work of four
writers: the 19th century Croatian poet Luka Botic, who embraced folk
tradition from both sides of the Ottoman Empire’s border, reversing the
traditional metaphors of evil which life across the border once embodied;
Stevan Raickovic, who introduced new tendencies into Serbian poetry in part by
incorporating and re-politicizing Walt Whitman’s metaphor of the grass; and
Aleksandar Hemon and Josip Novakovich, whose work bilingualism influences in
conjunction with  emigration, exile, or the search for a new home.
