CALL FOR PAPERS
For the last three slots in a thematic issue of
LETONICA*
Are you working on the post-war disciplinary history of folkloristics or related discipline in the former Soviet Union or the Socialist Bloc countries?

As Jaimey Fisher and Barbara Mennel note, the study of culture through space is particularly appropriate to German Studies “given the long-term centrality of space and spatial imaginary to German culture”. That imaginary is haunted by German nationalist and colonial thought, the unresolved presence of past violence, and ongoing debates around borders and belonging, central to all of which is Germany’s relationship with its eastern neighbours.
Call for Papers for edited volume

Canadian Slavonic Papers/ Revue canadienne des slavistes seeks submissions for a special issue on the theme of “The Legacies of State Socialist Memory Politics.” This project will investigate those mnemonic discourses, strategies, and media which, transcending the collapse of state socialism, continue to play a role in contemporary memory politics. The special issue aims to rebalance the discussion in a field that tends to focus on the contemporary determinants of memory: the political and sociocultural vagaries of post-socialism.
