PUBL./CFP- Borat: Eurasia, American Culture, and Slavic Studies

Posted by: Slavic Review <slavic-review at ad.uiuc.edu>

Call for Papers:

Few recent works of literature or film have made Eurasia as central
and, perhaps, as flagrantly irrelevant to the American experience as
Sacha Baron Cohen's hit film, Borat.  In many respects this movie
touches on key aspects of our discipline and expertise, and it also
marks the distance that "Eurasia" has traveled in the American
mentality since the appearance of other epoch-defining films (From
Russia With Love, Doctor Zhivago, The Manchurian Candidate). Slavic
Review invites its readers to submit contributions for a cluster of
scholarly essays on Borat. Contributions may use the methodologies of
any discipline so long as they relate in some substantial way to Borat
and to interaction between Eurasia and the West. Length should not
exceed 5000 words. Contributions will be peer reviewed and must be
received by the end of March 2007. If you have questions, please
contact the editor, Mark Steinberg, at slavrev at uiuc.edu.
