text of the call for papers follows.

=============================================

CALL FOR PAPERS: Vth WORLD CONGRESS OF INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF 
UKRAINIAN STUDIES

The Vth Congress of the International Association of Ukrainian 
Studies (IAUS) will convene in Chernivtsi on August 26-29, 2002. It 
will be the first Congress to take place after a decade of Ukrainian 
independence.

The very fact of Ukraine's independence has provided Ukrainianists 
with new perspectives in research. Today it becomes ever more 
evident that both the character and trajectory of Ukraine's 
post-communist transformation--its successes and failures--are to a 
large extent dependent on the previous historical and cultural 
legacy of Ukraine. The present "state of the nation" calls for a 
critical reassessment of this legacy--for a closer analysis of those 
elements that are presently responsible for structural benefits 
and/or constraints on the evolution of culture and society in 
Ukraine and that will continue to have a long-term impact on 
Ukraine's development. Of special interest is the multicultural 
character of this legacy, which has not yet been adequately 
integrated into Ukrainian studies.

The Executive Committee of IAUS and presidents of the IAUS national 
affiliates hereby invite submissions from all scholars who deal 
directly or indirectly with Ukrainian culture, history, literature, 
language, social and cultural studies, and politics and government. 
IAUS will accept proposals for individual papers within the 
applicant's area of specialization. Individual submissions will be 
assessed and grouped with thematically similar papers into panels. 
IAUS also invites proposals for symposia, panels, and roundtable 
discussions, especially those that focus on the main themes of the 
Congress as outlined above. When organizing symposia, panels, or 
roundtable discussions, we ask that special attention be paid to 
facilitating the inclusion of the younger generation of scholars, as 
well as balancing international representation. (Proposals with 
participants from different national affiliates are especially 
encouraged.) IAUS also encourages proposals that consist of 
presentations of scholarly and professional projects that have been 
realized during the past decade, as well as educational initiatives 
that focus on reforming Ukrainian studies and related fields.

Chernivtsi (Czernowitz) has been chosen as the site of the Congress 
because of its unique multicultural legacy and rich academic 
traditions. It also is well known as the center of Bukovyna, one of 
the most picturesque regions of Ukraine. We hope very much that the 
"Genius loci" will encourage open academic discussion and impart 
every participant in the Congress with pleasant memories.

The deadline for proposal submissions is December 1, 2001. 
Submission guidelines are attached. All relevant information is also 
found on the internet at www.ukrainianstudies.org.


SUBMISSION GUIDELINES FOR PROPOSALS: IAUS Vth WORLD CONGRESS, 
CHERNIVTSI, UKRAINE (AUGUST 26­29, 2002)

The main languages of the Congress are Ukrainian and English. 
However, submissions and presentations in one of the following 
languages will also be accepted: French, German, Italian, Polish, 
and Russian. Each presentation should be no longer than 20 minutes 
and the length of papers should not exceed 2500 to 3000 words. Panel 
and roundtable proposals should include no more than three papers 
and two discussants. Symposia proposals should include no more than 
four panels.

The deadline for paper abstracts and/or panel and roundtable 
proposals is January 2, 2002. Along with the abstract, applicants 
should provide the following information: academic affiliation (if 
any); position/title; a mailing address; telephone/e-mail/fax; and a 
short biography, curriculum vitae, a list of recent publications (if 
relevant), and any audio/visual needs for your presentation (if 
necessary). Application materials should be sent to the presidents 
of the national affiliates, as listed below. (For those in countries 
without a national representation, please direct applications to 
Yaroslav Hrytsak of the IAUS Executive Committee, 
hrytsak@franko.lviv.ua.) Please note that the abstracts provided in 
December do not need to be in the language in which the paper will 
be presented. However, please indicate on the abstract the language 
of final presentation. This will not be a binding commitment, but is 
necessary for organizing purposes. Panel and symposium proposals 
should include full information for each panelist, as well as for 
the organizer (even if he or she is not presenting a paper). Panel 
and symposium proposals may be sponsored formally by national 
affiliates or other academic institutions. The registration fee for 
the Congress is $75.00 US per person. Instructions for payment of 
the registration fee will be sent by the national committees after 
receipt of the applications.

Successful applicants must provide a 400 to 500 word synopsis of 
their talk to IAUS in Kyiv by May 21, 2002 (all languages other than 
Ukrainian) or June 21, 2002 (Ukrainian). Those who submit their 
synopses in languages other than Ukrainian are asked to pay a 
nominal fee of $10.00 US per synopsis--the IAUS will then have the 
synopses translated, so that Ukrainian-language synopses of all 
papers at the Congress are available during the Congress.

Applicants do not need to be members of IAUS national affiliates to 
attend the Congress, although we strongly encourage applicants to 
join their respective national organizations. Further information 
about the Congress (including accommodations and special events) 
will be posted at www.ukrainianstudies.org as it becomes available.

We look forward to seeing you in Chernivtsi!
