Studies in Slavic Cultures VI
University of Pittsburgh, Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures

CALL FOR PAPERS: MEMORY

How does memory mediate between events of the past and the demands of the present?  What are the mechanisms and motivations for memory creation in Slavic cultures?  How is memory used as a cultural device, and why?  In what spaces do individual and group memories enter into contact or conflict?

Studies in Slavic Cultures is accepting submissions for the 2009 issue. The theme of this issue is "Memory," and we welcome graduate student submissions investigating any aspect of this topic in relation to literary, visual, performative, and other areas of contemporary or non-contemporary culture in Russia and Eastern Europe.

The new deadline for submissions is DECEMBER 20, 2008. Queries and submissions should be sent to Erin Alpert, Olga Klimova, and Elise Thorsen at sisc@pitt.edu
