“Phenomenon of Second-Classness and Marginality in the Slavic Area”

We cordially invite you to the XVIIth Annual Conference of Young Slavists, which will be dedicated to the theme of second-classness and marginality in Slavic countries. Both phenomena are an inseparable part of any culture, despite the fact that they are marginalized within it and may be neglected by the scientific community. Papers dealing with the above-mentioned issues in the field of historiographical, linguistic, literary and cultural studies research will be welcome.
