CALL FOR PAPERS

Concept and Rationale

This conference proposes to approach the experience of exile in the twentieth century through the lens of the body. The body is understood here as a point of intersection between the material conditions of existence, the institutional mechanisms that frame migration, and the cultural forms through which exile is lived and represented. This perspective seeks to complement approaches that have primarily examined exile through the lenses of memory, identity, cultural circulation, and intellectual transfer.

Deadline: August 31, 2026

Conference held March 4-7, 2027 in Honolulu, Hawai‘i, USA

Language lives not only in grammar and lexicon but also in the creative practices of its speakers, as expressed through song, story, performance, crafting, and visual arts. Though traditionally viewed as ancillary to the documentary process, these creative practices are increasingly being incorporated into language documentation workflows. Moreover, the arts play a critical role in furthering and supporting language maintenance and reclamation efforts, helping to sustain intergenerational transmission among minoritized, ancestral, and diaspora languages.

CFP: “The Long Perestroika from Below”

Deadline: July 31, 2026

edited by Juliane Fürst, Bradley Gorski, Veronika Pehe, Kathleen Smith

We invite submissions of abstracts for a collective volume to be published by CEU Press under the title “The Long Perestroika from Below.” The volume will be open access and aims for publication in the summer of 2027. It wants to be a comprehensive overview over the historical research on Perestroika ‘from below’, meaning the experience of and activism in perestroika actions, which took place across Central and Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union and outside the centres of political power usually associated with the reforms and campaigns of the time. We encourage scholars at all stages of their career to participate in this volume, which aims to turn perestroika research on its head by switching the perspective of investigation from Gorbachev and political elites to society.

The guest editors at Russian Language Journal (RLJ) are pleased to announce a call for proposals for a special issue on the topic “Intersectionality + Pluricentricity: Teaching Russian Language[s] and Culture[s]”.
