Subject: FINAL CfP: Inclusion and Exclusion in Russian Language and Culture,
Edinburgh 5th October 2012
Following the first Negotiating Ideologies conference in 2010, we are
pleased to announce a second one-day conference for postgraduates in the
field of Russian Studies, to be held at the Princess Dashkova Centre,
University of Edinburgh, on the 5th of October, 2012.
This interdisciplinary conference will examine ideological production in
Russian language and culture through the multiple tools of inclusion and
exclusion. By bringing together scholars from diverse backgrounds within the
broad field of Russian studies, we hope to take advantage of different
disciplinary perspectives on practices of inclusion and exclusion. Papers
are invited from researchers in areas such as sociolinguistics, discourse
analysis, culture, history, and translation.
The conference will address aspects such as:
The working of discourses to construct in and out groups
Discourses of racism and other forms of discrimination
Language policy in Russia
The place of the Russian language outside Russia
Cultural means of creating inclusion and exclusion
Inclusion and exclusion in translation
Inclusion and exclusion in a historical perspective
Memory studies: 'remembering' or 'forgetting' aspects of the past
Proposals for 20-minute papers are invited from current postgraduates by the
closing date of 1st May 2012. Please submit short abstracts (up to 300
words) and details of institutional affiliation to the organisers at

We will be able to provide some assistance with travel expenses for speakers
