			CALL FOR PAPERS

		   The University of Chicago
                         SLAVIC FORUM
                  Graduate Student Conference
	On Slavic and East/Central European Literatures
		AN INTERDISCIPLINARY CONFERENCE

		       Chicago, Illinois
		       April 24-25, 1998

	   DEADLINE FOR ABSTRACTS:  FEBRUARY 6, 1998

The University of Chicago Slavic Forum invites graduate students working
with the literatures and cultures of Russia and Central/Eastern Europe to
submit abstracts for a twenty-minute presentation. 

Although we welcome abstracts on all topics related to Slavic and
East/Central European literatures, this year's conference is especially
interested in interdisciplinary approaches to literature and culture.  We
are actively seeking papers which put to use the best of cultural theory
and popular culture studies, post-totalitarian/ post-modernist critical
methods, as well as approaches that focus on the new nationalisms of the
region, multi- and inter-medial arts (film, photography, music) and
various "non-traditional" treatments of the literatures and cultures of
the region under consideration. 

This year's conference is sponsored in part by the Chicago Humanities
Institute. 

Interested graduate students should send their abstracts (of 250 words or
less) to the following address: 

SLAVIC FORUM
Attn:  Malynne Sternstein, Assistant Professor
Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures
The University of Chicago
1130 East 59th Street
Chicago, Illinois  60637
