From eb7 at IS2.NYU.EDU Wed Nov 1 11:03:13 2000 From: eb7 at IS2.NYU.EDU (Eliot Borenstein) Date: Wed, 1 Nov 2000 07:03:13 -0400 Subject: Soap operas In-Reply-To: <200011010458.XAA19456@is2.nyu.edu> Message-ID: Actually, though you certainly hear the term "myl'naia opera" more and more, when it comes to official programming and scheduling, they're called "serialy". Of course, that doesn't allow for a distinction between, say, "Prosto Mariia" and "Skoraia pomoshch'" (ER) or "Sekretnye materialy" (X-Files), but they all share one defining feature: they're a continuing story, something you didn't see as much of on Soviet television. Usually, when I hear people talking about watching "serialy", they mean soaps, and if they add the country of origin ("Meksikanskie serialy"), then there is no room left for ambiguity. Occasionally, you also see the term "teleroman," presumably by analogy to the Spanish term for soap operas ("telenovela"). Sorry to get all pedantic over something so, well, fluffy...

Broadcast systems that use reel tape, and I suppose there must be lots still in existence around the world, used 7.5 inches per second (19 cm/s) as the broadcast standard. This was quarter inch magnetic tape on open spools. The audio tape systems were identical in US and Russia. Only if you wanted to make a broadcast master would you have problems maybe with 2 track vs 4 track, quality etc. Cassette tapes (eighth inch) all play at 4.7 cm/s (1and7/8ips).

However, nowadays chips usually take care of that difference. The difference has something to do with the difference in the number of cycles in the European electricity versus the US. Tapes, if played using the European tape player in Europe, and using the American one in the US, will have the same speed.

The speed of a tape certainly has nothing to do with the number of cycles. A good cassette drive should have a stabilized voltage suplly. 120 or 127 V makes no difference too. But if you plug a unit set for 127V into a main supply for 220V you will surely burn down your power unit transformer. By the way. All non-military tape recorders in the FSU were copied from western models. So there must be no difference in speed for any type of a tape recorder.

It depends what machines you mean. Cassette tape recorders (modern) usually uses DC drive motors with stabilized power supply. Some sort of tape recorders - mainly using spool tapes (refered to by Andrew Jameson) and especially master studio recorders have AC drive motors. Here the frequency of main power supply is crucial.

Most equipment, if the number of cycles was important for its operation, had a control of some sort which had to be changed depending on whether you were in the Americas (60 cycles) or Europe/Russia (50 cycles). AC electric motors don't have commutators, they use the pole reversals of AC current instead and run at a (more or less) steady speed which is set by the cyles in AC mains current. I've deliberately used the cycle change control in the past to slow down a tape which was recorded using nearly exhausted batteries and which when played back at normal speed sounded like chipmunks talking. You may laugh, but some of this equipment is still around and in use in Russia, and tips like this could be useful...

The fellowship is designed to bring talented professionals and scholars of exceptional promise to Harvard University for a period of three to ten months. While in residence, Jacyk Fellows will use the University's unique resources to work on significant and innovative projects in Ukrainian studies, and in general to further their professional development. Jacyk Fellows will interact with the Harvard academic community through such activities as giving lectures, readings, or performances, writing articles, or offering classes. The 2001-02 Jacyk Fellow will be selected through an international competition, open (but not limited) to policy-makers, artists, writers, journalists, and scholars. This fellowship is funded through a gift to the Institute by the Petro Jacyk Educational Foundation in Ontario, Canada. Mr. Petro Jacyk, a prominent Canadian businessman who runs a successful construction and land development company, has been one of the Institute's most generous benefactors. In addition to this most recent gift, he has endowed the position of the Petro Jacyk Bibliographer in Ukrainian Studies at the library of the Ukrainian Research Institute.

What is the "tarantas" that Tarelkin "puts on"? I certainly know that it's not a springless carriage! Can you direct me to someone who may be able to define this mysterious item? While I'm intruding myself on you, where can I find out the origin of the lines, "Den' i noch ona rydala, krasota ee uviala"? The "tarantas" query comes from the second play of Sukhovo-Kobylin's "Trilogiia" - "Delo." In this play the character Kandid Kastorovich Tarelkin enters twice into the performing space, one time he removes his "tarantas," the second, and last time, he departs, putting on his "tarantas." In the first instance, I quote, "Otkidyvaet vorotnik, snimaet tarantas i vzdykhaet." The second occurs as the play ends: (Stanovitsia protiv tarantasa.) "Nu shto zhe teper', staryi drug?...A? Nu poidem...poidem po miru...(Nadevaet tarantas...Podnimaet vorotnik tarantasa...) No need to tell me that this is some sort of outer garment - obviously, any gibbon can figure out that this is a garment and not a springless carriage. What kind of garment; how does it differ from a "pal'to" or "shuba"? Or is it some sort of official costume or uniform? My second question gets harder to pin down. The character "Sluga" in the contemporary play "Glaza Dnia" by Moscow playwright, Elena Gremina, continuously repeats these lines. I quote him: "Den' i noch ona rydala, krasota ee uviala...Eto pesnia takaia...Den' i noch ona rydala, krasota ee uviala...Tram tam tam... The Sukhovo-Kobylin play can be found in the 1955 edition of "Trilogiia" published in Moscow by Khudozhestvennaia literatura. As far as I know, "Glaza dnia" remains unpublished. Whatever help you may be able to give me or to whomever you may refer me, I appreciate your help.

Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement NEW! PERFECT FOR POST-SOVIET CULTURE COURSES! A MUST FOR RUSSIAN BUSINESS COURSES! Aleksandr Panikin, Private Wealth-National Vision: The Memoirs of a New Russian Entrepreneur, trans. E. W. Clowes (Stony Brook: Slavic Cultural Center Press, 2000), xi, 78 pp. Private Wealth-National Vision is the first known memoir of a new Russian entrepreneur. In this fascinating rags-to-riches story Aleksandr Panikin tells how as a student in the 1970s he began a largely legal business making and selling decorative masks under the repressive conditions of the Brezhnev regime. He gives a lively account of how he accumulated the capital he would eventually use to found PANINTER, one of post-Soviet Russia's most successful private garment-manufacturing firms. How he dodged the police and negotiated with stolid, Soviet-era bureaucrats and economic managers for the documents and materials he needed will intrigue even your least motivated students. Panikin is concerned with the ethical bases for a new Russian capitalist order. He ventures opinions as to how the good Russian capitalist ought to be, and he calls Russia's political leaders to task for not creating better legal and financial conditions for a prosperous manufacturing culture. This memoir will be a welcome addition to any course in Russian and East European business culture or post-Soviet culture.

Greenberg) Date: Sun, 5 Nov 2000 11:49:51 -0600 Subject: A Historical Phonology of the Slovene Language Message-ID: Dear Colleagues, I hope you will forgive my shameless self-promotion. A few people have asked me how to get hold of a copy of my book A Historical Phonology of the Slovene Language (Historical Phonology of the Slavic Languages, Bd. 13),Heidelberg: Universitaetsverlag C. Winter, 2000 (3-8253-1097-3). Despite the tantalizing title, let me assure you that this is not a page-turner, though it may make good beach reading for a select few. If you are the masochistic type, please do not allow me to discourage you from purchasing a copy, or better yet, having your university library purchase it for you. The easiest way to get a copy is via Amazon.de, as the book is not marketed in the U.S.: http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/3825310973 Disclaimer: Per the Publisher's request I have agreed to receive no royalties from the sale of the book--he claims that Slavic books never turn a profit, anyway.

Please direct your enquiries off-list to Jason Falk (jay at babelfish-europe.com) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Babelfish was formed in January 1999 to provide a perfect localisation service to the computer entertainments industry - specialising in video games. Since forming we have secured the business of both Sony and Guillemot undertaking localisation of their web-site content, game manuals and in-game text and speech. Currently we offer only a 6 language service but have built a reputation for being the best in these languages, largely due to an in-depth knowledge of the industry and its pressures. Our customers have requested a 14 language service of which Polish is an important element. To this end we have recruited from the leading UK universities including both Oxford and Cambridge and we now have a vast number of applicants across 27 different languages. Each applicant has completed a test and we are now seeking an individual with proven language skills (a Polish national, preferably an academic with teaching experience and Polish language qualifications) to evaluate the applications we have received from Poles in the UK. There is only around 2 hours work in total and this will probably continue at around 2 hours per month (8-10 applications/tests per month). We are happy to negotiate payment for this undertaking - we usually pay between £15-20 per hour depending on the experience of the evaluator. We simply require an invoice which will be paid immediately upon receipt, once work is completed. We are an open and respectable business and conduct our affairs in a highly professional manner. We are happy to answer any questions and discuss everything with any interested parties. Our full company details are: Babelfish Ltd. 9 Cork Street London W1S 3LL Tel: 0207 434 9955 Fax: 0207 287 0365 Mobile: 07932 383876 email: jay at babelfish-europe.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Use your web browser to search the archives, control your subscription options, and more.

You can have LISTSERV e-mail you the current version of the SEELANGS Welcome message, which contains the guidelines, by sending the command: GET WELCOME SEELANGS in the body of e-mail to: LISTSERV at LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU Or, if you prefer, you can visit our web site at: http://members.home.net/lists/seelangs/ and click on "Welcome Message" to view it in your web browser. Given what I've observed lately on the list, here are a couple of the guidelines, excerpted from the Welcome message, which seem relevant and timely. Just a reminder... --- Begin --- Quoting Text From Original Messages ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Because all posts to SEELANGS are archived, and because disk space is a finite resource, list members are asked to pay close attention when they reply to messages on the list and quote text. Including portions of original messages is fine, as long as it's done to provide context for the reader and is done selectively. However, quoting entire original messages within the body of replies, when the original messages are more than just a few lines, is prohibited. Not only does it fill up our disk space with extraneous text, but those list members receiving SEELANGS in DIGEST format are forced to read through the same messages three and four times. Advertising on SEELANGS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Since only subscribers have the ability to post to SEELANGS, no outside entity will post advertisements directly to the list. From time to time the list owner receives requests from vendors of slavic-related merchandise to distribute information about that merchandise to the list membership. If the list owner determines that the information may be of interest, he may forward it to the list if the vendor complies with the following conditions: The advertisement will: o briefly identify the company o briefly describe the product(s) o NOT contain any price information or dollar amounts o request that any interested parties contact the vendor directly for further information o contain vendor contact information o NOT be more than 60 lines of text List members who wish to advertise businesses or products in which they have a financial interest are discouraged from doing so on SEELANGS if the businesses or products have nothing to do with slavic languages or literature. If they do have something to do with slavic languages or literature, list members are asked to comply with the above guideline. NOTE: The above guideline regarding advertising on SEELANGS does not apply to seminar and conference announcements. Such announcements may contain dollar amounts and, due to the occasional inclusion of forms, may exceed 60 lines of text. If posting an announcement or including a form, please be sure to insert your own "Reply-To:" tag in your out-going mail header or write the list owners for assistance if you do not know how that is accomplished. --- End --- Thanks for your cooperation.

Thank you. Mila From: "Petr Chudoba" and Mila Saskova-Pierce To: Subject: Question on historical Christmas characters Date: Mon, 6 Nov 2000 18:20:32 -0500 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2615.200 Status: I'm preparing everything for my Christmas party now and was wondering if you could explain something to me. I'm making some of the historical characters into a contest. I provide the costumes and the instructions; they have to play out the parts. Each one will get a prize for their efforts and a grand prize for the best one. Svaty Mikulas, Cert and the angel I can explain. I can sort of explain Svata Barbora and Svata Lucie (although I can't find the logic since they're nothing like the real saints). But what am I to do with Peruchta, Ometacka and Starenka? Peruchta and Ometacka have no explanations of who they are. Starenka - is it the same explanation as in Russia? In Russia, another old woman delivered gifts on Epiphany Eve. When the Three Kings asked Staraya Babuska which road led to Bethlehem, she purposely gave wrong directions. After they left, she regretted her deception, but it was too late to stop them. In repentance for her selfishness, Staraya Babuska shouldered her broom and set out for Bethlehem. Alone, she lost her way and so she searches for the Child forever. For years, she journeyed through Russia knocking at each door with her staff, entering and holding a candle close to each child's face as he or she lay sleeping. She left presents for the little children under their pillows and sadly wandered on forever, hoping that one of these children would be the Baby Jesus. Thoughts? Many thanks!

The contact person's email address is listed at the bottom of the message. ~ Devin ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Examinations in Bulgarian literaturer Dear Mr Browne I am writing to you concerning the post of Examiner Responsible for Bulgarian A1, which has recently become available. The International Baccalaureate Organisation (IBO) provides an international pre-university curriculum and an international university entry qualification which gives access to higher education on a worldwide basis. The Language A1 course is a literature course for native speakers of a particular language. The duties of the post of Examiner Responsible include the setting and marking of examinations and may involve occasional (paid) travel to the IB Curriculum and Assessment Centre in Cardiff, Wales. Due to illness our current Examiner Responsible for Bulgarian A1 is unable to set the Bulgarian A1 papers for the May 2001 examination session. Therefore we urgently need to find someone to set these papers and to take responsibility for this subject. I would be grateful if you could recommend someone who is qualified to teach Bulgarian literature, and who has had experience in setting examinations in this subject. Thank you for your help in this matter, and I look forward to hearing from you.

OBrien) Date: Tue, 14 Nov 2000 00:17:14 -0500 Subject: Best Basic Textbook for English-Speaking Students of Russian Message-ID: Dear Professor Foley: Please allow me to take the liberty of replying to your interesting e-mail inquiry, despite the fact that I am a student, rather than a teacher of, Russian (at least at this time). I am ABD in comparative literature with a concentration in Russian literature at the CUNY Graduate Center in New York. I have been studying Russian for years, and I am familiar with a number of Russian textbooks, both American and Soviet. At the present time, I am auditing Business Russian and Modern Russian Poetry at Hunter College. In the light of my experience as an English-speaking student of Russian, I feel that the best introductory, intermediate, and reference textbook for similarly situated students is Mischa Fayer, *Simplified Russian Grammar* (Skokie, IL: National Textbook Company, 1977). There are audiocassette tapes which accompany the book. I hope and pray that this book is still in print. Since I do not believe that any single Russian textbook is truly comprehensive and ideal, I must note that Fayer should be supplemented with two aids which will be useful throughout the student's study of (or should I say "unending struggle with"?) Russian: E. Wedel and A. Romanov, *Langenscheidt's Pocket Russian Dictionary: Russian-English, English-Russian* (Maspeth, NY: Langenscheidt Publishers, Inc., 1969)--ISBN 0-88729-108-2 Patricia Anne Davis, *Russian Verbs* (Hauppauge, NY: Barron's Educational Series, Inc., 1992)--ISBN 0-8120-4754-0 Langenscheidt's and Davis are essential because of their coverage of the horrendous Russian verbs--the one area in which Fayer is somewhat deficient. Langenscheidt's is better for the verbs than even *The Oxford Russian Dictionary* and has the practical advantage of being able to fit conveniently into a student's knapsack. Whenever I am in Russian class, Langenscheidt's is there with me. I hope that these opinions will prove useful to you. Sincerely, Steve O'Brien Stephen M.

Gerald Pirog _________ European Identity and Nationalism Call for Papers Multi-disciplinary Conference 11 - 13 May, 2001 Sponsored by Comparative Literature Department, Political Science Department and The Center for Russian, Central and East European Studies. The unification of Germany and the nationalist tide that paralleled this historical change, the nationalist movement in Scotland that threatens to actualize the predicted break-up of Great Britain, the rise of the right in France, Belgium and Austria and a number of regionalist/nationalist movements across Europe challenge the idea that the national will give way to the supranational. At the same time, the recent collapse of communism has challenged the imaginary geography of "Europe" to include past and recent "others" (e.g., "the Balkans", the "Slavs", "the post-Soviets"), to confront the bankruptcy of state socialism and to make sense of the idiosyncratic cohabitation of post-modern and pre-modern world-views. Meanwhile, Europe is faced with new war fronts of nationalizing processes at its midst. Consequently, the configuration of the new "European political identity" seems to be slipping away from the control of the European Union, as more voices - both within and outside the Union -- pronounce that Europe does not equate with the EU). Exploring European identity leads us into a more fluid and contested terrain that is at times bigger (narratives of expanding cosmopolitanism) and at times smaller (narratives of separatism manifested as aggressive nationalisms). This troublesome but also promising process of (re-)inventing Europe provides the opportunity to deepen our understanding of nationalism and its place in Europe, and to identify the dominant modes of recasting European identity vis-a-vis more particular identities (nationalism, regionalism, minorities). Simultaneously, we are challenged to re-conceptualize the representation of the European political identity and its actor/story-teller. We invite graduate students to participate in this fully interdisciplinary conference, with organizers from five disciplines--history, anthropology, political science, literature, cultural studies-putting together the panels. The issues that will be addressed will include but not be limited to: -Interplay of national and European identities at the threshold of the new millennium; -Europe through the eyes of its minorities/immigrants; -Politics of European representations; -Imaging the European space from within and from without; -Europe and imperialism; -The political economy of nationalism; -Nationalism and the imperial legacies in Europe; -Nationalism and theories of modernity/post-modernity; -Nationalism and race/gender/class/religion; -National literatures/arts; -Nationalism and violence/conflict; -Nationalism and history/genealogy/mythology/memory; We are also open to other topics as long as they address any aspect of the relationship between specific national identities and broadly defined "Europeanness". Interdisciplinary and methodologically innovative approaches are strongly encouraged. The conference will comprise panel discussions and round tables. At the panel discussions, participants will present their own work and engage in debate. At the round table meetings, participants will explore a single piece of writing announced by the organizers in advance. The keynote speakers as well as round table discussions at the conference will be announced at a later stage.

Serge Rogosin ----- Original Message ----- From: Sent: Friday, November 10, 2000 4:23 PM Subject: Kennedy Center- Battle of Stalingrad The Kennedy Center presents The Battle of Stalingrad November 22-December 3, 2000 American Film Institute Theater at the Kennedy Center Performed in Russian with English Surtitles As World War II raged on, there was one battle that caused the world to hold its collective breath-and would ultimately decide the fate of the planet for the next half century. In his extraordinary production, The Battle of Stalingrad, writer/director/producer/marionette-maker Rézo Gabriadzé and his Tblisi Marionette Theater focus on the individual lives deeply affected by this six-month siege: a young man who reacts violently and tragically to his fiancée's betrayal, a woman who waits by a cradle for her husband to return, and even an ant who wails for her lost baby. This original work of theater-Gabriadzé's views on the civil war in his native Georgia-combines puppetry, cinema, poetry, and drama to tell riveting, heartbreaking, essentially human tales. Tickets at the Kennedy Center box office or charge by phone (202) 467-4600 Schedule: November 22, 24, 29, and December 1 at 7:30 p.m.; November 25, 28, 30, and December 2 at 2 and 7:30 p.m.; November 26 and December 3 at 2 p.m. Not recommended for young people under 12. _____NetZero Free Internet Access and Email______ http://www.netzero.net/download/index.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Use your web browser to search the archives, control your subscription options, and more.

The statement, which passed with 246 votes to zero in the State Duma, Russia's lower house, said muddle in the wake of last week's presidential election proved that the United States had no business teaching other countries about democracy. "It is noteworthy that the political and constitutional crisis connected with the election has emerged in a country that persistently attempts to play the role of a 'model of the rule of the people' and arbitrator of the quality of election laws and the purity of elections in other states," it said. "This once again demonstrates that attempts by certain countries to play the role of 'teachers of democracy' toward other states are without foundation and can end in confusion." Russia, ruled by dictators for all but a decade of its 1,000-year history, has often been criticized abroad for staging less-than-perfect elections. Last month election officials struck an incumbent regional governor and a leading contender off the ballot just hours before the vote. But the Duma resolution described the American vote in terms that might embarrass many a shakier democracy. It listed "unequal conditions" for third party candidates, the "hypertrophic role of money in the election campaign" and "ignoring the total number of votes" as examples of "significant flaws in election law and archaic procedures." It also complained about "machinations with hundreds of disappearing ballots" and "attempts by officials in several states to...influence the terms and results of the counting of votes." An initial version of the bill said the State Duma wished "success to both candidates" in the U.S. election, but the wording was later removed when some deputies said it made no sense, since one of the two was bound to lose. ****** ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Use your web browser to search the archives, control your subscription options, and more.

What exactly did you mean? Answer: Confusion in international relations continued after the termination of the Cold War and almost nothing happened in the world, not a single new idea appeared. However, the end of the Cold War requires a serious consideration and actions toward the creation of a new system of international relations. This has not happened. Question: Do you mean that neither side took appropriate steps? Answer: Neither this side, nor the other side. Russian President Vladimir Putin did initiate a reduction of the nuclear threshold the other day. The United States put forward similar proposals. Then an idea of the National Missile Defense System turned up there. But this is not of crucial importance. The main thing is that talks have been wrapped up. No one is paying attention to this fact! Talks were underway for 30 years and they brought about tangible results. The world became more secure and stable. A limitation system for the most destructive types of weapons was created. It even envisions the elimination of some of them. But this was in the past. Nothing has occurred lately. What does it depend on? The quality [caliber] of the politicians that we currently see in the international arena has gone down. I do not want to insult anybody by giving names. However, I can make competent comparisons because I've been watching big politics for over 30 years. Today's politicians would not gain from the comparison. This is relevant to our country, to Americans and West Europeans alike. There was a time when even small countries - no offense meant - produced such outstanding politicians as Olof Palme, Bruno Kreisky, Pierre Trudeau, to name but a few. I am very concerned that such people disappeared somewhere nowadays. We can certainly speak about "collective intelligence" of political elites. I've been observing the elite in our country, in the United States and in Europe. I am confident that their level has deteriorated sharply too. Previously people emerged in big politics after they had acquired a lot of experience and knowledge along the way. It is currently commonplace that "great politicians" turn up from nowhere. The level of our domestic decision-makers has lowered. The same is true of our journalists, diplomats and politicians. This seriously worries me. Public and worldwide processes have become more complex, manifold and unlike they were in the past. We are caught unprepared for large-scale changes. We failed to form a new, competent elite for these processes. Question: Do you think it will influence the development of the world order? Answer: Of course it will! Neither oil, nor gasoline, nor kerosene are the worst deficits today. What is lacking is the brains. Question: You spoke of de-intellectualization in connection with the extraordinary events in the United States and the vote count problems. What issues surfaced in this situation? Answer: This problem also involves both sides. Remember all the guesswork about who would be better for our country, Republicans or Democrats? I think that it would be better for us if there is a clever president rather than a silly one, an experienced president rather than an inexperienced one in the USA. I would not specify a name to avoid a precarious situation. Otherwise Russians might be blamed for backing someone. I cannot give a final analysis of all nuances in the current situation. This will take time. However, one fact is obvious: the liberal wing of the Republican Party has totally disappeared. It was respectable and trustworthy, it served as a shock-absorber and even a brake to "bad deeds." Similarly to Democrats they used to have both a very conservative and a liberal wings. Now the latter has disappeared. This gave rise to a disproportion in the US politics. It incidentally reflects the same tendency for de-intellectualization in domestic and foreign politics. A lot of other things are linked to this phenomenon. Question: Imagine that a new US president is announced today. Will the current neurosis, the outcries and arguments calm down instantly and things would proceed as usual? Or has something happened in the United States that shook it so deeply and consequences are to follow? Answer: I want to repeat that I do not attach much importance to who is voted the next US president. Although certain things depend on this, but not to the extent to make us crazy. I pointed out on several occasions that a lot depends on us. During the Cold War years we got used to blaming them for everything and they shifted the blame on us. Dialogue and interaction are needed here. The power of an example, if you want! We could give an example by putting forward good, constructive initiatives. They would have no other choice but to respond to them or advance their own initiatives. Dialogue will begin and the negotiating process will be resumed. We will certainly cooperate, negotiate and work on agreements. Significant changes might follow this "election threshold." However, we should watch ourselves instead of Americans. A lot depends on this. Why is a "bad person" able to come to power in our country? Only because the country is ruined economically and remains in chaos. Why is it possible in the United States? For the same reasons. Order must be restored in the country, dialogue should be substantial and an end should be put to the hateful "friend of such and such." Serious, long-term problems that are vital and urgent for us and for humankind in general should be discussed. There are a lot of people both in the United States and in Russia who have not yet been appointed to key posts but who understand this. I hope that our countries' leaders would realize this too. Unfortunately, this has not been the case yet. Question: The world is looking up to the United States in surprise. Its system exemplified reliability, internal flexibility, and capacity for overcoming crises... Answer: The US democracy, of course, won't break that easily. We will not benefit if it breaks. I repeat: we need to think about ourselves rather than about America. We need to become a great power again and restore full-fledged authority. I am not calling for the super-power status. Nobody needs these obsolete imperial principles. We have to become a truly great power, that is influential and makes an impact on the world's development and generates ideas. The Cold War ended not because of the US strength but because the Soviet Union's new leader promoted new ideas in the international arena. ****** ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Use your web browser to search the archives, control your subscription options, and more.

Mac Netscape users will probably see question marks or other incorrect symbols in place of accented characters. Mac Internet Explorer users may see the correct characters, but the accents may appear after, rather than above, the base characters. 2) The PDF version should be rendered correctly for all users who are running current versions of Adobe's free Acrobat Reader. Acrobat Reader may be downloaded from: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readermain.html The HTML version of the program contains live links to HTML versions of all of the abstracts; clicking on the paper title will load the appropriate abstract. The PDF version does not currently contain these links (although the paper titles in the PDF file are blue and underlined, if you click on them, nothing will happen). I hope to be able to post PDF versions of the abstracts by early December. The conference will take place 27-30 December 2000 at the Capitol Hilton in Washington DC.

I originally kept the panel area quite broad, as I did not know what sort of response my query would generate. It seems, though, that my own proposed topic fits less well into this nascent panel than I had hoped. That being the case: I'd be interested in participating in or forming second panel, this one dealing with connections between popular/folk music and (Russian/Soviet) literature. (A Soviet culture panel that could accommodate a paper dealing with music and literature would also work.)

We invite abstracts on any aspect of generative phonology and morphophonology in any generative approach (Government Phonology, Lexical Phonology, Optimality Theory). Talks will be organized around major phonological topics, depending on the content of the submissions. The format of the conference is 20 min for presentation + 10 min question time. Languages of the conference are English and Polish. GLiP-3 is the first meeting in this conference series devoted to phonology and morphophonology, the previous meetings being primarily syntactic in nature. GLiP-3 marks the beginning of what we intend to become a rule: (morpho)syntactic meetings in the autumn and (morpho)phonological meetings in the spring. The GLiP-1 meeting, which took place in November 1999 in Warsaw, resulted in a volume of proceedings -- see . We are also planning to publish proceedings of GLiP-2 (which will be held on 9-10 December 2000) and GLiP-3. ORGANIZING COMMITTEE: -------------------- Piotr Banski, University of Warsaw Beata Lukaszewicz, University of Warsaw Adam Przepiorkowski, Polish Academy of Sciences ACCOMMODATION: ------------- Accommodation will be provided at the university hotel. Details will be available soon from the GLiP web page (see below). CONFERENCE FEES (estimated): --------------- - Regular: 80 PLN - Student: 40 PLN DATES: ----- - DEADLINE for receipt of abstracts: 11 February 2001 - Notification of acceptance: 5 March 2001 - Meeting: 7-8 April 2001 ABSTRACTS: --------- Should be *anonymous* (i.e., they should contain no personal data or explicit self-references) and consist of up to 700 words, together with examples and references. Because abstract forwarding to referees will be done by e-mail exclusively, the following are the possible formats of attachments, in *descending* order of preference: (Plain Text) > Postscript > PDF > (La)TeX > Word for Windows '97 In cases when there is no need to use special phonetic symbols or phonological representations/rules, we strongly encourage PLAIN TEXT submissions. We regret to say that other formats will not be accepted. Should the electronic version of the abstract need special phonetic fonts apart from the SIL IPA fonts (http://www.sil.org/), please attach them as well. (We strongly discourage this practice though, and reserve the right to ask for a resubmission in a different format.) Those who submit abstracts in (*self-contained*!) (La)TeX should best use the tipa.sty package. See our web pages for pointers to the relevant web sites (coming soon). Only one submission per person and one joint submission will be considered. Abstracts should be written in English or Polish. Please note: do NOT send abstracts on diskettes. We will accept *e-mail* submissions *exclusively*. IMPORTANT: In the plain text part of your email, please supply the following information: - name, title, - title of the paper, - affiliation, - email address, - snail mail address. ADDRESSES: --------- PLEASE NOTE: ONLY *E-MAIL* SUBMISSIONS WILL BE CONSIDERED Send your abstracts to: GLiP-2 Organizing Committee Please be so kind as to use zip, gzip, bzip2 or some other compression utility to COMPRESS the attachment. For MORE INFORMATION see: http://venus.ci.uw.edu.pl/~glip/ PRELIMINARY REGISTRATION (IMPORTANT!): ------------------------ If you are (tentatively) interested in taking part in this conference, please, send your email address to GLiP-2 Organizing Committee . Most future announcements, changes, etc., will be mailed only to registered prospective participants (and not to general linguistic lists). ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Use your web browser to search the archives, control your subscription options, and more.

Crawford) Date: Sun, 26 Nov 2000 23:39:19 -0500 Subject: Fonts and Fascists Message-ID: During my 1999 trip to Moscow and Peterburg, I noticed that text on monuments and placards commemorating battle victories over the fascists all seemed to consistently use the same rather-unique typeface. An example is the ground-level inscription on the "artillery side" of St. Isaac's Cathedral (my efforts to find an example illustration on the web failed). I don't know how to describe it other than it's rather bold and modern-looking for the era in which it originated. I'd be curious to know if this consistency is simply due to one designer or state bureau being assigned to create such monuments, or an intentional "Pavlovian" attempt to associate anti-fascist emotions with a certain script (for future use against any propaganda target which the state desired to paint as fascist). If the latter, are there any other similar subject-matter cases where a peculiar typeface is exclusively used? Does anyone know what the "fascist" typeface is called, and if so, might there be a truetype font rendition in existence? I'm also looking for a truetype font of the Soviet-era newspaper Pravda masthead typeface, if anyone knows of one.

I'm doing well. Just saw Alyssa and Evan and the kids for Thanksgiving. I'm interested in presenting a paper on the panel you are putting together. The gist is that Mandelstam's Tristia recreates, as if in ⌠play,■ ⌠wandering along the footpaths of mystery■ √ Mandelstam▓s phrase from ⌠Pushkin i Skriabin■ √ the history of the emergence of Christianity (and hence Western culture) out of the religion of Dionysus (as described by Ivanov in "Ellinskaia religiia stradaiushchego boga" and "Religiia Dionisa") and unveils the chaotic underside of Western culture which remains as a part of this heritage. I will get you a title by Wednesday.

It provides a healthy antidote to those (myself included) who might have at one time questioned the vitality of Eastern European literature after the fall of the Berlin Wall. I hope that the editors will do what they can to keep copies available for the next five years or so. For the price of a journal issue, it makes an excellent addition to any reading list for courses on Twentieth-Century Polish prose or poetry in translation or surveys in which it would be desirable to come up to the present day. I've made some changes in my current Polish Novel course this term to accommodate a few selections from this anthology in the last week of the semester. I have no affiliation with the journal nor have I made any contribution to this issue, but merely wish to pass on my enthusiasm for the project and support for those who participated.

This 400-page anthology, which is the first and most comprehensive survey in English of Polish writing since the end of Communist rule, includes material from several generations of authors in a range of genres. Poems, stories, novel excerpts, feuilletons, reportage, criticism, and polemicism by more than seventy-five writers are translated in this issue. The issue includes writers who already have followings among English-language readers, as well as other, less-exposed writers of the older and middle generations, and younger writers who have never or rarely before appeared in English translation (including the poetry and rowdy polemicism of the so-called "[Frank] O'Haraists"). To help the reader navigate the diverse terrain mapped in these pages, this issue includes two extensive interviews, one with the American translator Clare Cavanagh, and one with the Polish poet and translator Piotr Sommer. Also included are critical essays by a number of prominent older and younger Polish critics, like Jerzy Jarzebski and Piotr Sliwinski. These essays serve not only to place the writers presented here in the much wider contexts of Polish literature and culture, but themselves demonstrate the richness of Polish critical discourse. This issue provides an indispensable introduction to a lively literary culture, and promises to influence the reception of Polish writing in English translation for some years to come.

Could anyone confirm that assumption, or maybe Szymborski simply mistook one of the southern languages for Polish? Any suggestions?

The winner of this year's award has published scholarly monographs and anthologies on Russian history, literary translations, Russian women's and gender studies, Slavic cultural studies, and anthologies and criticism of Russian and other Slavic literatures -- many of which have been honored by AWSS, but never in her name: Dr. Janet Rabinowitch of Indiana University Press. As the colleague who nominated her pointed out, "Although Janet Rabinowitch has not authored feminist or gender-focused scholarship within Slavic Studies, no other specialist has PUBLISHED so many works in the field as has Janet during her twenty-two years with Indiana UP. Janet's PhD in Russian Studies (Georgetown University, 1965) and her wide-ranging activities within the Association of American University Presses (in addition, of course, to her own taste and intelligence) make her an outstanding critical reader of the manuscripts she receives, sends out for review, and sees through production. She has been called 'the premier editor in our field' and has played a pioneering role in gender studies, starting with Barbara Heldt's THE TERRIBLE PERFECTION, published in 1987. Janet was willing to take risks with submissions focused on women when other editors still shrank from doing so, and her energetic dedication to precisely those issues and qualities that the Association for Women in Slavic Studies represents in a sense qualify her as one of the most notable members of the organization. The list of Slavic gender and feminist publications she has sponsored is formidable and certainly unequalled among university press editors. For her long-standing commitment to scholarship on Slavic womanhood she has earned a unique place among us, and this award acknowledges just how valuable that place is to all of us." This award carries a Life Membership in AWSS, an expression of our esteem and our enthusiastic support fro Dr. Rabinowitch's continuing work in the field.
