CfP: World Folk Heritage, 07/13-18/2009, Minsk
The next International Ballad Conference will take place in Minsk, Belarus, July 13-18, 2009. The organizer of the conference, Alexander Morozov, would like to expand this conference to include more general folklore topics and has asked me to make this call.
The conference will be titled: World Folk Heritage: Past, Present, and Perspective Directions of Research
Suggested paper topics include, but are not limited to:
1) The history of intercultural interaction in folk and ballad art
2) Presentation of national varieties of cultural values, haracteristic for particular nations, rooted in tradition, contemporarily undergoing transformations that result from current processes
3) Common universal values of traditional folk cultures as a basis for communication and cooperation in the sphere of culture
4) The art of the ballad in world folk heritage: plots, types, poetic forms..
Abstracts of up to 300 words together with requests for technical equipment should be submitted by February 28, 2009 to Prof. Morozov at _morozoff_@tut.by. Give author's address, affiliation, contact
details and a brief CV.
Prof. Morozov is also the contact person for more information although I can probably answer some of your questions.
