    Chin. J. Slavic Stu. 2021; 1(1): 3–15 Wenfei Liu* International Slavic Studies: Concepts, History and Evolution https://doi.org/10.1515/cjss-2021-2003 Published online August 30, 2021 Abstract: This paper departs from the definition of Slavistics and reviews the history of international Slavic studies, from its prehistory to its formal establish- ment as an independent discipline in the mid-18th century, and from the Pan-Slavic movement in the mid-19th century to the confrontation of Slavistics between the East and the West in the mid-20th century during the Cold War. The paper highlights the status quo of international Slavic studies and envisions the future development of Slavic studies in China. Keywords: Slavic studies, Eurasia, International Council for Central and Eastern European Studies (ICCEES), Russian studies (русистика) 1 Definition Slavic studies, or Slavistics (славяноведение or славистика in Russian) refers to the science of studying the societies and cultures of the Slavic countries. The term “Slavic countries” refers normally to the 13 Slavic countries in Eastern and Central Europe, namely Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine in Eastern Slavonia, Poland, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia in Western Slavonia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Northern Macedonia, Montenegro, Croatia, Serbia, and Slovenia of former Yugoslavia. However, some other non-Slavic countries too are often included in Slavic studies, such as Hungary and Romania, countries of former Eastern Bloc, and 12 non-Slavic countries of former Soviet Union—the five Central Asian countries (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan), the three Transcaucasian countries (Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Armenia), the three Baltic states (Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia), and Moldova.

  • Proper Language, Proper Citizen: Standard Practice and Linguistic Identity in Primary Education
    Proper Language, Proper Citizen: Standard Linguistic Practice and Identity in Macedonian Primary Education by Amanda Carroll Greber A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures University of Toronto © Copyright by Amanda Carroll Greber 2013 Abstract Proper Language, Proper Citizen: Standard Linguistic Practice and Identity in Macedonian Primary Education Doctor of Philosophy 2013 Amanda Carroll Greber Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures University of Toronto This dissertation analyzes how the concept of the ideal citizen is shaped linguistically and visually in Macedonian textbooks and how this concept changes over time and in concert with changes in society. It is focused particularly on the role of primary education in the transmission of language, identity, and culture as part of the nation-building process. It is concerned with how schools construct linguistic norms in association with the construction of citizenship. The linguistic practices represented in textbooks depict “good language” and thus index also “good citizen.” Textbooks function as part of the broader sets of resources and practices with which education sets out to make citizens and thus they have an important role in shaping young people’s knowledge and feelings about the nation and nation-state, as well as language ideologies and practices. By analyzing the “ideal” citizen represented in a textbook we can begin to discern the goals of the government and society. To this end, I conduct a diachronic analysis of the Macedonian language used in elementary readers at several points from 1945 to 2000 using a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods.

  • Slavic Studies in Canada
    Slavic Studies in Canada Stanislav J. Kirschbaum This year, the Canadian Association of Slavists (CAS), Canada’s scholarly association for Slavic and Central and East European Studies in all disciplines, celebrates its 50th anniversary, an anniversary that was commemorated at its annual meeting in Winnipeg (Manitoba) at the end of May. It has a proud and very productive history of encouraging and fostering research and the study of the languages, cultures, history, society, and political life of the Slavic nations, but also of other states and peoples that were under Communist rule in the post-war era. Although called an association of Slavists, its activities also extend to non-Slavic peoples and states like Hungary, or the Baltic States. Through the CAS, Canadian scholars participate in world congresses like those of the International Association of Slavists, the International Association of Ukrainian Studies, and the International Council for Central and East European Studies. The CAS also publishes annually four issues of the Canadian Slavonic Papers/Revue Canadienne des Slavistes and a bi-annual newsletter. Two main variables have determined the extent and intensity of research and teaching of Slavic studies in Canada: (1) academic access and (2) political considerations. Three main institutions currently stand out as centers for Slavic studies: the University of Toronto, the University of Alberta, and Carleton University. Each has an institute that organizes conferences, invites speakers, and also coordinates both undergraduate and postgraduate study in the field. Toronto’s Centre for Russian and East European Studies, in conjunction with the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures, is very active, polyvalent, and particularly strong in Slavic languages and literatures.

  • Autumn 2015.Pdf
    Department of Slavic and East European Languages and Cultures Autumn/2015-2016 DSEELC COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES 1 Letter From the Chair Recently, two friends of mine on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean shared their opinions about the state of Russia’s politics and, more important, what will come after Putin. In her fascinating account titled Putin’s Kleptocracy: Who Owns Russia?, Karen Dawisha, the Walter E. Havighurst Professor of Political Science in the Department of Political Science at Miami University, details the ascendance of Vladimir Putin as an unchallenged and highly popular President of the Russian Federa- tion and the establishment of his circle of comrades composed of KGB officers and businessmen. After her delivery of the keynote address of the Midwest Slavic Conference at The Ohio State University this past March, Karen was asked, “What will happen when Putin is gone?” She responded that Putin’s kleptocratic system supported by his associates will endure the change, and power will remain in the hands of his friends. Also sharing his thoughts about the future of Russia without Putin was Ivan Krastev, chairman of the Center for Liberal Strategies in Sofia, a permanent fellow at the Institute for Human Sciences in Vienna and a contributing opinion writer at The New York Times. On August 13, 2015, he published “What the West Gets Wrong about Russia,” a piece that became the 8th most shared text of The New York Times on social media that day. In it, he argues that Western scholars are misreading the current political regime in Russia.
