CFP: ACLA 2023 “Comparative Slavic”

Deadline: October 31, 2022

Comparative Slavic

Historically, the philological traditions of Slavic Studies have proven somewhat resistant to comparativist inquiry. Yet Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine, as well as a long overdue reckoning with the question of race in research and professional practices, have brought into focus the urgent imperative to decolonize and diversify the scope of Slavic Studies. What tools from Comparative Literature might help to fuel this revision?

This seminar aims to bridge the banks of Comparative Literature and Slavic Studies. It invites papers from scholars writing for audiences in both fields and hopes to provide a space for productive conversations about their respective disciplinary expectations, conventions, and trends, while also forging paths for new directions. We welcome papers that explicitly address these questions of disciplinarity, as well as those drawn from exemplary research that straddles the Slavic/Comp Lit divide and that blend a commitment to philological precision with comparative theoretical inquiry. We also especially welcome contributions from graduate students who are expecting to go on the job market in both Comparative Literature and Slavic, as the stream will aim to provide a space to think through strategies for reaching these different audiences.
