We are editing a collection of essays on “Transcultural Influences in Soviet and Post-Soviet Animation.” The goal of the volume is to illuminate transcultural links in Soviet and Post-Soviet Animation, for instance, the influence of Disney on Soviet animation, screenings of Soviet cartoons abroad, animation festivals, etc. We are including both influences from the West to the Soviet Union (and back) and cross-cultural exchanges within the (former) Soviet republics.
We have an interested publisher and a good number of contributors, but we are still looking for scholars who work on animation of the former Soviet republics, for example, Ukrainian animation (Soviet and contemporary), Belarusian animation, Kazakh animation, etc. If you are interested in the topic, please email an abstract of 250-words + your CV to Dr. Sabina Amanbayeva at szamanbayeva@okcu.edu by June 7, 2022. Thank you!
