Sexual, erotic, and romantic obsession
Political obsession, fixations on East and West, Slavic messianism,
imperialism
Shifting obsessions within the Slavic Studies community

Narcissism
Myth-making and cultural heroes
Science, technology, and progress
Utopianism
Death and mortality
Revenge
Jealousy and envy

This will be a two-day conference comprised of formal panels, informal
roundtables, and other events. Breakfast, lunch, and lodging with graduate
students or faculty will be provided for all participants. Conference
proceedings will be published in the soon-to-be-revived Brown Slavic
Contributions.
