======================================================
Dear all,

My colleague and I are currently trying to put together a panel for 2007 AAASS 
convention with a provisional title What our Tongue is made of? The
material/form dilemma of Post-Revolutionary Russian (1917-1935). 
We were wondering if anyone would like to contribute as a paper giver, a
discussant or a chair. 

We were hoping that the focal point of the panel would be on the
post-Revolutionary Russian-speaking community in search for new/novelty
forms of presenting, regulating and applying the post-Revolutionary Russian
language material. It was our intention not to reduce the "community"
exclusively down to an "academic community" as we believe it is important to
stress the active role of the whole public and its genuine interest in moulding
post-Revolutionary Russian. However, the work of the academic and
“neo-academic” community in this area should be fully appreciated, and we
expect it to be one of the main topics of the paper proposals. At the moment we
have two papers on the developments in Soviet theory of language connected to
the panel’s main subject. We are hoping to hear from somebody working in the
area of literary studies, however, proposals from any other relevant fields
would be equally welcome. For more details please contact Katya Chown,
e.chown at sheffield.ac.uk (Bakhtin Centre/Department of Russian &Slavonic
Studies, University of Sheffield, UK).
