1. Dostoevsky and World Literatures.
This panel examines Dostoevsky’s influence on 19th-century to contemporary authors and studies possible connections and textual echoes between Dostoevsky’s writings and other texts potentially related to his literary legacy. We invite abstracts devoted to the contemporary literary analysis of the chosen texts, as well as broader research on philosophical or theological issues central to Dostoevsky’s worldview and that continue to be discussed and re-examined today.https://www.cfplist.com/nemla/Home/S/19206

4. Post Colonial Post-Soviet: The USSR influence on Cultural and Literary Production.
Literary and cultural critics often fail to consider the USSR within the context of postcolonial theory, though the country’s effect on surrounding regions and migration follows many of the same patterns as the imperial powers of Western Europe. This seminar aims to situate Soviet literature and other cultural products within a postcolonial context or to explain how postcolonial theory must be modified when applied in post-Soviet spaces.
