ANNOUNCEMENT
NEW PUBLICATION SERIES

The Departments of Modern Languages and English of Bucknell University,
Lewisburg, PA, USA and the Department of Literary Theory of the Tver State
University, Tver, Russia announce a joint Russian-American publication
series Russian-American Studies in Literary and Critical Theory.  The
series will consist of two collections of articles a year, with the Tver
State University publishing its collection in Russian with resumes of all
articles in English and Bucknell publishing its collection in English with
resumes of articles in Russian.
        Each volume will consist of 10 to 20 articles (equally divided
between Russian and American contributors).  Articles are expected to be 10
- 15 pages in length.  Each volume will be refereed by a leading Russian or
American literary theory scholar. The first two volumes of the series are
due this year. The deadline for submitting articles for this year
publications is March 22, 1999.  The editors of the series are Professor
Igor Fomenko, Tver State University and Slava I. Yastremski, Bucknell
University.  Submissions from Russian scholars should be addressed to
Professor Fomenko, submissions from American scholars - to Professor
Yastremski, Dept. of Modern Languages, Bucknell University, Lewisburg, PA
17837.
The goal of the series is to initiate an active dialogue between Russian
and American scholars interested in applying literary and critical theory
to the analysis of artistic texts.  At the time of total reevaluation of
old criteria, literary theory becomes an important tool for investigation
of new, emerging values discussed in contemporary artistic texts.  The
joint publication will be an enriching experience for both the Russian and
American scholars.  The former will receive an access to the latest
developments in Western literary and critical theory, and the latter will
have an opportunity to look at Russian and Western literature and culture
from a new, original perspective.
