ACLA: American Comparative Literature Association Annual Meeting 2010: "Creoles, Diasporas, Cosmopolitanisms" http://www.acla.org , 1-4 April 2010, New Orleans. Seminar on "Anti-Semitism and Anti-Roma in Post-1989 Central and East Europe," Org. Steven Totosy de Zepetnek http://docs.lib.purdue.edu/clcweblibrary/totosycv . The seminar "Anti-Semitism and Anti-Roma in Post-1989 Central and East Europe" is about the situation of Jews and Roma in Central and East Europe since the demise of the Soviet empire. "Central and East Europe" is defined as the regions of the former Austro-Hungarian empire and including the Baltics and the former East Germany. While a cultural, political, and social phenomenon across Europe, it is in particular since the demise of the Soviet empire that anti-Semitism and anti-Other occurs in the former states of Soviet colonialism. With regard to Austria and the the former East Germany as in post-1989 Germany, the situation of the Jewry and the Roma is in many ways different than in the former communist states, nevertheless the phenomenon exists to a high degree. In the case of Austria and Hungary the phenomenon is of particular interest as these two countries have been involved in the Second World War including the extermination of Jews and Roma but did not undergo Vergangenheitsbewältigung similar to Germany, albeit for different reasons. In Hungary, for example, the term "cosmopolitan" is used as a negative term referring to Jews. In countries such as Slovakia or Romania, the phenomenon is also particularly virulent. The seminar invites abstracts of papers on aspects and occurrences of anti-Semitism, anti-Roma, and anti-Other (i.e., anti-immigrant) studied and analyzed in various fields including comparative literature, cultural studies, media studies (i.e., the phenomenon as it occurs in various media including new media), sociology, political science, philosophy, etc.; papers in interdisciplinarity are also welcome. Following peer review, selected papers from the seminar are planned to be published in the Purdue University Press peer-reviewed, full-text, and open-access humanities and social sciences quarterly CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture (ISSN 1481-4374) http://docs.lib.purdue.edu/clcweb . Please submit abstracts by 13 November 2009 to the Seminar's page at http://www.acla.org
