Young Scholars Conference “Slavic World: Community and Diversity”. Moscow, 21–22 May 2024. Section “Literary Studies”

Abstract

The conference was attended by young scholars from Moscow (Russian State University for the Humanities, Russian State University named after A. N. Kosygin, Institute of Slavic Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences), Kaliningrad (IKBFU named after I. Kant), Nizhny Novgorod (N. I. Lobachevsky State University of Nizhny Novgorod) Rostov-on-Don (Southern Federal University). The first session was devoted to examinations of Slavic literatures from the point of view of poetics. Within this framework three reports with a Polish theme were presented – the speakers addressed the works of B. Schulz and the works of the modern Polish author O. Tokarczuk; the focus of two speakers was on the works of the Czech classic socialist realist V. Řežač, as well as the modern poet R. Mały; one report was devoted to the Serbian poet J. Dučić. The second session included presentations on literary and cultural issues. Such topics as the formation and use of the Russian-Bulgarian parallel corpus of texts, allusions to the works of B. Okudzhava in the novel of the Serbian writer V. Ognenović, a comparative and contrastive analysis of the theme of death in the works of B. Milkovich and F. K. Sologub, the theme of tea in Czech travelogues about the USSR in the 1920s, the reflection of Soviet cinema of the 1920s–30s in the journalism of the Czech writer J. Weil. The subsections were moderated by employees of the Institute of Slavic Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, specialists in Slavic literatures. Meeting participants and moderators actively engaged in scholarly dialogue, identified problematic issues, and outlined further prospects for research. In addition to the speakers who take part in the conference every year, new participants joined the conference this year, which indicates the continuing relevance of this regularly held scientific event.
