We invite proposals for papers that consider such questions as the following:
• This conference will explore the written languages of Russia and Inner Asia. The focus will be both historical, examining the way in which methods and tecniques are consciously continued, and contemporary, looking at how written languages are learned now, in an era of globalization in which new ways coexist with tradition.
• A particular attention will be paid to folklore and literature of peoples of Siberia and Inner Asia: genesis, typology, tradition, and innovation.
• Monuments of writing systems as historical, archeological, and ethnographical resources.
• Alphabet: history, genesis, and temporary conditions.
• Tuvan written language and its role in the development of the language, education, and Tuvan culture.
• Questions of sociolinguistics, museum studies, and other interdisciplinary/
The conference will create intellectually coherent panels and discussion groups so that scholars from different fields can engage productively around a central theme or question.
