Dear colleagues,

We are happy to invite you to a panel to be held at ASEEES Annual
Convention. Looking forward to receiving your abstracts. Please see the CfP
below:

*Revolutionary shock/waves: the October Revolution in Eastern Europe*

*Date: *Nov. 9-12, 2017

*Place: *Chicago, Illinois. ASEEES Annual Convention

*Funding*: Possible Travel Grant

*Deadline for Abstracts*: February 12, 2017 (please send to the organizers)

The panel marks the centenary of the October Revolution by focusing on the
reverberation and reception of October in neighboring countries. It seeks
contributions in two main directions. On the one hand, we are interested in
the effects of October on the praxis of socialists and the oppressed
throughout regions on Eastern Europe and the Balkans. On the other, we seek
to engage with the foes of the Revolution. How was the Revolution spoken
about by its detractors? What did they do against its dispersal in the
local contexts? We are interested in contributions detailing reactions to
October by interwar intelligentsia or by the state apparatus reeling from
the shockwave. Finally, the panel re-reads Socialist history of
revolutionary practice. What channels were used in order to spread
revolutionary praxis? What historical forms did the Revolution undertake in
sites outside its epicenter and what concrete strategies were used in the
solidification of socialist practice? In addition to scrutinizing
anti-communist discourse of the period, we will engage in a critical
re-evaluation of sympathetic observers’ scholarship dedicated to the
Revolution. We thus hope to receive contributions by East-Europeanists
taking stock with musings and usings of the Revolution in order to think
together about the question of *How to write the Revolution*.

Keywords: October Revolution, Eastern Europe, Socialist Practice,
Revolution’s Foes
