[spectre] Slavic Review: Call for Papers on Borat

[richard de boer]

 From Slavic Review:

Call for Papers:
Borat: Eurasia, American Culture, and Slavic Studies

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.
