I think that DEAD END is a very good solution but I would change your
translation of "i zazhali v SLEPOI PROKHOD" to "and hemmed me at the dead
end." I believe that you have a bigger problem with "na menya vagonetki
naskochili" mostly because "vagonetki" is difficult to translate without
any added ambiguity. I think that "na menya naskochili" is better
translated as "plunged at me" but I do not know if "cars" is the best
solution for "vagonetki" or someone can suggest a better solution. As I
understand, "cars" is better than "trucks" because I cannot find
modifiers for "trucks" that would make it certain the meaning is
"vagonetki" but "door-type, drop-bottom and drop-end cars" do narrow it
down to certain types of "vagonetki."


Sincerely,

Date: Wed, 31 Jan 2001 22:21:44 -0500
Subject: Slovo o Polku Igorove Online?
Message-ID: <WED.31.JAN.2001.222144.0500.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

If "Slovo" is a hoax, in other words a literary crime, there must be (if I
remember my Agatha Christie correctly) means, motif and opportunity. The
monk might have had the means (knowledge etc.), but what was his motif? Why
would he provide another culture with an epic work?

In the history of literary hoaxes and mistifications (Mérimée, for example)
there was some reason, but then there was also a desire to take credit for
it. Why would a Catholic(?) monk write a Russian epic? Why would one show
such a tour de force and not claim credit for it? At least eventually.

Opportunity should include the absence of witnesses. Even if composing took
no time at all (which is doubtful), writing it by hand surely took a lot of
time. Other monks should have gotten suspicious as to what is being
written. Not to mention the cost of paper in such quantities. Is it
possible that absolutely no one knew about the undertaking? And when the
manuscript was discovered, why no one would come forward? No one knew or
they all swore to a lie and no one told the truth even on the death bed?

Is there anything else in the history of world literature where a hoax was
created and whose author was not discovered till two hundred years later
based on circumstancial evidence?

Respectfully,
Alina Israeli

Thank you to those who have responded!

I am a doctoral candidate at the University of Kansas doing dissertaiton
research on reading comprehension in the college-level Russian language
classroom.  Part of my research involves an on-line survey to find out how
instructors teach reading in their classrooms.  If you have taught Russian (at
any level) and have devoted lessons or parts or lessons to reading, I would
greatly appreciate your participation.

You can access the survey at:
http://falcon.cc.ukans.edu/~lkeefe/survey.htm

If you have any questions or comments please e-mail me at:
surveykeefe at mail.ukans.edu
 I'll be collecting data for at least a month, so please if you have twenty
minutes or so I would really appreciate your input.
Thank you!

Subject: Slovo o Polku Igorove Online?
Message-ID: <THU.1.FEB.2001.114146.0500.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

Motivation, of course, is always very difficult for any historian to
establish, especially when dealing with a person who, like Dobrovsky,
suffered from a severe (but not always intellectually debilitating) mental
illness, almost certainly bi-polar disorder.

With that major reservation, and for reasons too complex to set forth in an
email, I think that the general intellectual environment among educated
Czechs of Bohemia in the 1790s supports arguments for several plausible
contextual motivations.

By the way, the text is not very long -- some 2800 words, and it would be no
great feat to copy it out on a few sheets of paper in an hour or so.

And Dobrovsky -- often called Abbé -- was a priest, not a monk.

David Patton (ACTR, Moscow) has written a very interesting doctoral
dissertation on this subject:

AUTHOR       Patton, David P., 1960-
TITLE        Analytism in modern Russian : a study of the spread of non-
                agreement in noun phrases / by David P. Patton.
PUBLISH INFO Columbus, Ohio : Ohio State University, 2000.

The dissertation includes extensive discussion of the syntactic nature and
behavior of these forms (in answer to question #1) and abundant examples
with native-speaker evaluations (in answer to question #2).

I have a 16 year old daughter who was adopted from Tallinn Estonia when
she was 12.  Now that she is in her freshman year at high school, she needs
to fulfill her second language requirement, and instead of starting a third
language, we have decided to have her maintain her native Russian.  There
are no Russian classes offered at her high school, or a local community
college, and there are no school district approved tutors.  Can you please
recommend a few on line Russian classes to me?  My daughter has not really
spoken the language for about 2 1/2 years, but I know she would pick it up
very fast.
I will be anxiously awaiting your reply (as will her school district).
Thank you very much for your attention in this matter!
Sincerely,

Dear Colleagues,

Does anybody know when the former Soviet Union joined the
international copyright agreement? I know that before a certain date
all the materials from the Soviet Union were copyright-free, and then
finally the Soviet Union signed a copyright law.
I would be very grateful for your help,

From ccosner at YAHOO.COM  Mon Feb  5 19:46:04 2001
From: ccosner at YAHOO.COM (Chris Cosner)
Date: Mon, 5 Feb 2001 14:46:04 -0500
Subject: Onegin, recent translations
Message-ID: <MON.5.FEB.2001.144604.0500.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

To report back on my question: Has anyone used the Hofstadter translation of
Eugene Onegin for a course?

I received several answers right away, many recommending the Falen
translation, often with the caveat that Hofstadter is a valuable comparison
for students. One person recommended trying Hofstadter on a group of
students to see if it would be more engaging. Having now read Hofstadter, I
can say that this is a distinct possibility. Definitely a valuable and
enjoyable read.

Descriptions of Douglas Hofstadter's translation:
In his own words, published in the NYT Review of Books:
http://adaweb.walkerart.org/influx/muntadas/nytbooks.html

A review of Hofstadter by Adrian Wanner can be found in
Comparative Literature Studies (vol.27, no.1, 2000, pp.83-86)

It was also suggested that one way of introducing students to the sound of
Onegin stanzas written originally in English is to read from Vikram Seth's
_Golden Gate_. I wonder if following this with a reading of some stanzas in
Russian would convey rhythm and rhyme to non-Russian speakers?

There was also the suggestion of another recent translation of Onegin by
Stanley Mitchell: See Vol. 11 of Modern Poetry in Translation (Summer 1997),
a description of which can be found at
http://www.kcl.ac.uk/humanities/cch/mpt/MPTissues.htm#11

If your library does not carry the journal, information on purchasing back
issues can be found at
http://www.kcl.ac.uk/humanities/cch/mpt/mpt.htm
I obtained this translation through interlibrary loan and discovered that
the journal only published the
first chapter. In full, I'm sure the Mitchell translation would be worth
considering for the classroom, but there does not appear to be full version
available. If anyone has information to the contrary, please post!

For the curious: I will probably use the Falen translation this semester,
with a glance to Hofstadter, Nabokov, and others to provoke discussion of
the translation of poetry, and we will view the new film Onegin after having
finished with the text.

The video is available for rental at most major video stores. Its retail
price, say from amazon.com, is over $100 because it has not yet been out on
video for six months. Soon, the price will drop. The price is currently so
high because the studio wants folks to rent it rather than purchase it.

Dear Emily,

In my area, which is Albany, New York, the video of "Onegin" is
relatively easy to find and even rent.  Have you checked at your
local video rental shops?

Subject: "heritage seekers"?
Message-ID: <TUE.6.FEB.2001.130932.0800.>

Today for the first time I heard someone use the term "heritage
seekers," in reference to students who are not native speakers of a
language, and who have in fact had no exposure at any point to the
language, but whose ancestors were native speakers of a language, and
who therefore choose to study that language.  The specific example
concerned students in Canada whose grandparents or great-grandparents
are Ukrainian, but who never spoke or heard the language themselves, but
now are choosing to connect with their roots by studying Ukrainian.

Is this an actual established term that's in use, by analogy with
"heritage speakers"?  Or was this just a neologism?

Thanks,
Rebecca

Beatrice Szekely, Associate Director of the Cornell Abroad program, confirms
that she has been using it since 1997 or so, and "people have always known
what I meant." From a 1997-98 text that she wrote:

'
               "SEEKING HERITAGE IN STUDY ABROAD
               Beatrice B.Szekely is the Associate Director of the
Cornell Abroad program.

               Study abroad is traditionally talked about as a sojourn
of immersion in difference, of immersion in another culture. By
spending
               time in a different way of life, students reinvent and
often transform themselves while they complete a semester or year of
               academic work. This notion of leaving the familiar and
traveling far away from home is challenged by the concept of heritage
               seeking: selecting a study abroad venue because of
family background‹national, religious, cultural or ethnic; this means
               choosing a venue because of some level of familiarity
or resonance with less emphasis on the difference.

               To what degree is the idea of leaving home for
something different challenged by heritage seeking? My only concern
is if a
               student is being stretched by study abroad, if she or
he has a great deal to learn and is truly challenged. A Cornell
student whose
               family immigrated to the United States from Ethiopia,
and who is going abroad with the Brown program next year still has a
               great deal to learn: Amharic language, Ethiopian
culture, the nature of socioeconomic development in northeastern
Africa,
               political change in her family¹s homeland. Amharic
language use and life in Ethiopia may be known to her from the family
               dinner table in Waterloo, Iowa, but have never been
confronted firsthand.
...."

Mrs. Szekely did a study:
"The six universities, chosen to get a geographic spread across the
               United States are: the University of California San
Diego (UCSD), Duke University, Georgetown University, Indiana
               University, University of Texas-Austin and University
of Washington. The six host countries are the Czech Republic, Egypt,
               Ireland, Israel, Korea and Mexico.

               Findings

               Study abroad in three of the countries exhibits
patterns of some heritage seeking with interesting twists; three
exhibit clear
               heritage seeking. For the Czech Republic, only a
minority of the 600 students going to this country are reportedly
heritage
               seeking from our university sample. Heritage seeking
was most pronounced for Georgetown and Cornell. (Applicants for the
               Council Program in Poland, however, are almost 100%
heritage seekers.) Egypt proves to be an interesting reminder that a
               student¹s assumption that he/she is heritage seeking
may be challenged in the host country. Mary Davidson, of the American
               University of Cairo (AUC) in New York, indicates that
students going to Cairo as heritage seekers may be either
               African-American, including black Muslims, or students
whose families are from Arabic-speaking countries all over the Middle
               East, who are Arab, possibly Coptic, in cultural background...."

Message-ID: <WED.7.FEB.2001.163054.0430.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

There is a bug in Mac Word 98 when dealing with Russian text. It is
possible to type Russian text normally, but the next time the file is
opened, all of the Russian characters will be converted into
underscores (interestingly, it the Mac file is reopened in Windows
before being reopened on a Mac, this problem does not occur). The
same happens if Russian text is pasted into an open Word 98 file from
the clipboard, or if a Mac MS Word 5.1 file with Russian text is
opened in Mac MS Word 98. All of the Russian characters are
irreversibly changed to  underscores.

Does anyone know a solution for this bug?

Switch to Wordperfect, which is much better designed for languages with
other than latin characters or even for languages with diacritics signs suc
as French !
Wordperfect provides the users with a complete table of cyrillic characters,
including Old Slavic characters, those used in non Slavic languages such as
Uzbek, etc.
And where necessary, Wordperfect can save texts in Word format, what
Microsoft did not bother at all.

A OCR Like Textbridge can save pages in Russian in Cyrillic Wordperfect
format.

Not irreversibly. Use the menu to choose "select all" and then apply
an Apple Cyrillic typeface to the entire text. (Body text and
footnotes will need to be done separately.) The only catch is that if
you put the cursor into the text, the word that you select may revert
back to the default (underscore) state and you then must re-apply the
Apple Cyrillic font.

Make sure you have the correct keyboards installed and that your Mac
has the Apple Cyrillic kit installed.

If the kit is installed and you are using OS 8.1 or later, and you
have keyboard/font  synchronization selected, then once you switch to
the Apple Cyrillic typeface for the document, you will be switched to
a Cyrillic keyboard (whichever one you've last used in the Cyrillic
set). Because of this, you won't be able to use keyboard commands for
Word, but will need to use the toolbar icons or pull-down menus.

This perhaps is a jerry-rigged solution for the underlying problem,
but it has worked reliably  and efficiently for me.

As Robert de Lossa pointed out, this is not irreversible for text
originating in Word98, but the workaround will not work for Cyrillic
text from Word 5.1. For this kind of text, you might try to go by way
of HTML. Word 98 can import HTML, and you could export to HTML from
Word 5.1 by first saving as rtf, then using Andreas Prilop's Convert
Cyrillic RTF for either Add/Strip or PowerReplace, and finally using
rtf2html - definitely a solution that puts the "work" into
"workaround". Look for these utilities on versiontracker.com.

Hi Greg,

I personally use Apple Works for most of my word processing - the
uncomplicated stuff, anyways. Being an Apple program, it coordinates well
with the Apple language kits. I've never had a problem using Russian with
Apple Works.

Word 98 and Word Perfect (which Corel hasn't updated in many years, and no
longer supports) are both extremely flaky. We run them in my lab and have
nothing but problems with them both. However, I have been using Office 2001
over the last month, and I have to say that it is a great improvement over
98. You may want to consider upgrading if you really need to use Word.

If you do want to try WordPerfect. go to www.versiontracker.com and search
for it. It will come up with two things - WP 3.5E and a patch for it.
Definitely apply the patch - it fixes several annoying bugs with
WordPerfect.

Ah yes!

I've been unable to open most of my old Cyrillic documents in Word 98
and get anything but lines where the letters used to be. I've also
had problems with running Cyrillic texts though the clipboard,
AND--as Robert De Lossa pointed out can happen-- terrible problems
have ensued when I put the cursor in a Cyrillic text: it reverts back
to Latinitsa or those (lovely) lines again.

I've spoken to our tech person and to a specialist from Middlebury.

Their recommendation is not to use Word at all because, according to
them, it doesn't handle non-Western fonts well. Our solution, put
together with spit and baling wire, is to use my older version of
Word for Cyrillic texts.

Well, dorogie studenty!

They closed the schools in Mankato and St Peter, so I came home for lunch
to check on my daughter (who would rather be home alone, anyhow). The sun
was coming out in Mankato, so I had lunch and started back to St Peter and
it was snowing to beat the band as soon as I got just north of the DQ on
169 and the road was icy, so I came back.. and of course there's no snow
here; so I don't know whether to feel stupid or just dumb.

In any case,  here are the assignments for Friday (we don't meet on Thursdays):

1. Read carefully through the pages on the soft stem adjectives (Section
6.2, pp. 170 and 171) and write out the exercise on page 171 (write out the
whole sentence, not just the answers). The point of this section to learn
about and practice "soft" adjectives. Certain adjectives, not many, always
have a sot, or palatalized, stem, i.e. there is always a "y-glide" attached
to the consonant to which you add the endings. You can tell these
adjectives from the FEMININE form, which ends in "-yaya" (two "backward
r's" together).  The only adjective we have so far in this soft category is
"siniy", "dark blue".

2. Also, please write out exercise 1 from the workbook, if you haven't done so.

3. Please memorize dialogues 3 and 4 on page 157.

4. Read section 6.3 again on the genitive case. We will be working withtis
in class on Firday.

If you have any questions, e-mail me, and I'll try to get back to you.

Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for your patience.

Do svidaniya!

Subject: an addendum to the discussion of derivation of "slav"
Message-ID: <WED.7.FEB.2001.145118.0500.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

Dear SEELANGers,

I was recently reading Giles Fletcher's 1591 _Of the Russe Commonwealth_ and
came across the following, which reminded me of the recent discussion on the
list serve concerning the derivation of the word "slav" (the comments in
brackets are my own notes):

"Their [i.e., the Russians'] language is all one with the Slavonian
[Srpskohrvatski Jezik?], which is thought to have been derived from the
Russe tongue rather than the Russe from the Slavonian. For the people called
Slav are known to have had their beginning out of Sarmatia and to have
termed themselves of their conquest slava, that is, famous or glorious, of
the word "slava," which in the Russe and Slavonian tongue signifieth as much
as glory or fame. Though afterwards, being subdued and trod upon by divers
nations, the Italians their neighbors [G. F. must mean Venetians] have
turned the word to a contrary signification and term every servant or
peasant by the name of slavus, as did the Romans by the Geats and the
Syrians for the same reason. The Russe character is no other than the Greek
somewhat distorted." (p. 173, _Rude and Barbarous Kingdom_, ed. Berry,
Crummey).

The editors give the following footnote for this etymology: "Fletcher takes
this etymology from [Marcin] Cromer [the editors mean Kromer], De origine et
rebus gestis Polonorum [published first sometime in the middle of the 16th
century], p. 13: "Slauorum autem etymologiam, uel a Slouo, quod uerbum et
sermonem: uel a Slaua, quod famam siue gloriam genti significat, omnes
deriuant."

So precisely the same debate has been waged over the word/fame/slave issue
since, at least, the mid-1500s.

A humorous aside: My Microsoft Outlook spell check always flags the word
Slavist, and offers (thoughtfully) either Sadist or Slavish as my intended
word. I have yet to decide which to accept.

I have used various fonts and patches with progressive versons of Word for
the Mac (I use a simple, in house font with my Windows 95 Word version and
have never had any problems with it). I settled on the cRussify plug-ins a
few years ago. When Word 98 came out, all I got was those "lovely lines"
until the cRussify people provided a translation utility that adapts older
versions of Word (Word 6.x) to Word 98. It works most of the time, but it's
fiddly. You have to make sure that the file you want to convert from Word
6.x to Word 98 is indeed in  Word 6.x format (you can save documents in
Word 98 as Word 6.0 files) and then run it through the converter. It takes
a few extra minutes, but it's worth it for crucial files. I just ignore the
less important files.

Question is, is MacOS9 or 10 Cyrillic support compatible with anything
we've been using up to now, or will we have to re-type everything?

As for giving up on Word altogether becuase "it doesn't support languages
very well;" well, computersin general  are notorious for not supporting
languages very well.  When new versions of any software come on line, it's
almost a given that e software manufacturer will not ask  such important
qustions as "Will this new version be usable by all the people out there
who need to have languages other than English?" We have to keep after the
techies or we'll never have what we need.


Best to all,

DC

This isn't true at all. It's only in the last couple years that the big
companies (Microsoft and Apple) have really been supporting languages, but
the support is getting really good, and is constantly improving. For
instance, Mac OS 9 ships with reading and writing support for just about any
fairly common language out there - including Chinese, Japanese, Arabic and
Russian. Microsoft also offers support for most languages as of Windows
2000. Office 2000 for PC offers a language proofing tools kit that includes
spell checkers for a plethora of languages, and presumably this is available
for Office 2001 as well.

The most important change that is coming for languages is universal unicode
support. Windows 2000 offers this, as will Mac OS X. As well, all new word
processors will be shipping with unicode support, which should make
translation much easier.

As for giving up programs.. well, the reason we have competition is so that
we have the option to select the best program for our needs. If Word doesn't
work for people, then they should switch to a program that does.

It's not that computers are "notorious" for not supporting languages, they
simply weren't designed for it. When computers were first being
manufactured, no one expected people to be using them like we do.

A certain level of Unicode support is built into Mac OS 9, but has
not been exploited very much by program manufacturers. Microsoft with
its Office 98 and Office 2001 is a major exception in the field of
word processing, others are mainly in the field of web authoring:
BBEdit 6.0, Netscape Composer 6, Style, and some Japan-made text
editors.

I have been frustrated with Word 98 precisely because it is based on
Unicode, which is fine for general purposes but lousy for ours.
Specifically, Unicode doesn't contain accented vowels or exiled characters
like the jat' or izhitsa.  To my knowledge there is also no Unicode
standard for Church Slavonic.  This is a case where a growing adoption of
the industry standard may leave us higher and drier than we were before.

Well, indeed. Incidentally, UNICODE contains jat', thita, etc.; but no
accented vowels.

I have had similar problems with converting and pasting text into
Word 98 for Mac.  What often works is the following "undocumented
feature" of Word 98:  Select the text, pull down the font menu, THEN
hold down the option and command keys while choosing the font.
This often converts garbage characters (in Russian and Czech) to
Cyrillic/accented Latin.  (This also works in AppleWorks, where it
*is* documented.)

I should have mentioned earlier that I recently switched from MS Word
'98 to Word 2001 and it is far superior in many ways, including
Cyrillic handling. (This is with Mac OS 9.0.1.) It handles complex
documents much better and seems to have better memory management as
well (an MS Word problem since 5.0). The font + keyboard
synchronization is pretty much the same. Cross platform portability
has improved. I did a quick test of creating a Cyrillic doc in Word
5.1 and then opening it in Word 2001 and it came through fine, which
was not the case with Word '98. Any other 2001 testimonials out
there? Anyone found specific bugs to watch for?

Subject: Unicode, accent marks, and OCS
Message-ID: <THU.8.FEB.2001.095202.0500.RROBIN@GWU.EDU>

Dear SEELANGovtsy,

There is news on the Unicode front:

OCS SUPPORT. Unicode does support OCS, although font designers and keyboard
programmers might not have responded yet to the high market demand for OCS
support. Specifically, the code range for "historical Cyrillic" is 0460 to
0485 (See http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0400.pdf). Unicode also gives
full support to Cyrillic characters from languages other than Russian.

ACCENT MARKS.  There are three ways to support accent marks with Unicode.

1.  Create a special accent font set just for accented characters. To do
this, in a Unicode capable font editor (such as Font Lab) create a single
font with all of the accented vowels you need (9 in Russian). Make sure that
the vowel characters match the Unicode numbers of the vowels in question.
That way Russian spellecheckers will recognize them as the Russian vowels
they are meant to represent. This is how I personally do accent marks (but
in Windows only). PLUSSES: (a) This works in all Windows programs (not just
Word or Word Perfect). (b) Spellcheckers accept accented words. MINUSES: (a)
You have to create a macro for each program that you use to have easy
keystroke access to the accent marks. (b) While the fint prints great, it
looks ugly on the screen. (c) Some network printers don't print this font.
(d) It's feasible to have only one kind of accent mark (in most cases acute
accents). Grave and circumflexes make the system too cumbersome.

2.  Use Unicode's built-in overstrike diacritics. Windows Word97 and 2000
(and I imagine for the Mac as well) give you access to a great many Unicode
overstrike characters. (Look under Insert Symbol and then scroll through the
symbols until you get to the "combining diacritical mark" set). You can
automate the process by assigning a keystroke to each diacrtical. PLUSSES
(a) You need no extra fonts. (b) I imagine it's doable on the Mac - at least
in later versions of Word. (c) It should print on all printers. (d) It
looks pretty on the screen. MINUS (and for me a big one): It causes Russian
spellcheckers to flag any accented word.

3.  Use Word's formula editor to create inline composite characters. See the
Word help menu on EQ fields. This shows you how to place an accent mark on
top of another character in an equation. You can then automate the process
by recording a macro. (Or I can send you the text of the macro that I
wrote.) PLUSSES: It works even with non Unicode fonts. MINUSES: (a) Word
highlights such formulas on the screen (ugly) but not in print. (b) Like
solution 2, it confuses Russian spellcheckers.

My apologies for an outdated condemnation of Unicode.  Their site is
actually very useful for those interested in writing systems.  Here, for
example, is the proposal to add Glagolithic to the standard:
http://anubis.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc2/wg2/docs/n1931.pdf

I note that someone has also proposed "Klingon," but I'll leave that for
interested parties to find on their own.

I have the text here by transcription from the video, so I may have

wrong. I'd appreciate any identification or clarification you can
provide.

Thank you!

I located a Russian version of the book in question and forwarded the info
to Shannon off-list.  Shannon's immediate goal is to learn to read the
"kriuki" notation the Alaskan Old Bellevers use for their liturgical
music.

 I also recommended he talk to Nicholas Schidlovsky (all I know of
his current whereabouts is "Princeton") as he has researched Old Believer
liturgical music in America.

I'm sure Shannon would appreciate any further advice on books or people.
Might there be someone knowledgable at Jordanville?

        Many thanks in advance for your help.

The queries are:

1.      The effects of urbanization on Russian cities, city dwellers
and country folk.  Literary, cultural, ethnographic, etc., sources in
English.  (I've already recommended Katerina Clark's book on
Petersburg, as well as literary works on Petersburg--Pushkin, Gogol,
Bely.)

2.      19th century education for Russian women.  Comparative
studies or impressions of English or American visitors regarding the
Russian educational system and the education of Russian women in
particular.  Travel literature that might devote part of its
narrative to this topic.  (I've already recommended Larry Holmes'
work on Soviet/Russian education.)

3.      Eisenshtein, especially sources in English (aside from Jay
Leyda) on Ivan Grozny and Aleksandr Nevsky, especially in the context
of the 1930s.  I've already passed along the information from the
2000 AAASS panel on this topic to the student.

Subject: South Slavic Architecture
Message-ID: <MON.12.FEB.2001.094605.0500.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

CON/DE/RECON-struction of South Slavic Architecture Conference

The History of Architecture and Urbanism Program of the College of
Architecture, Art and Planning at Cornell University will host a two-
day conference in March of 2001 focusing on identity and memory in
South Slavic architecture.  The conference of invited speakers will
bring together leading scholars on the subject from both the United
States and the former Yugoslavia.

The two-day conference will begin with a keynote address by Yale
University Professor Ivo Banac, one of the most prolific and
respected historians of Central and Eastern Europe. The other
thirteen speakers will be organized into three sessions. The first
session will be devoted to understanding the region's broader
cultural framework because of its complexities and the competing
influences on its architecture. The second session will address the
creation of modern civic identities in Yugoslavia's four national
capitals: Ljubljana, Zagreb, Sarajevo and Belgrade.  The third session
will examine specific examples of layered memory in Federal
Yugoslavia and its successor states.

I think you a referring to Tsvetaeva's statement in *Moi Pushkin*, but her
thought is a more complicated one... Hope you'll easily find this quote, it's a
short text.

Subject: AATSEEL:  Cover designs invited
Message-ID: <MON.12.FEB.2001.172745.0500.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

This spring, after verification of information from all members, AATSEEL
will publish its new (2001) Membership Directory.  

We're beginning to think about a cover design that we can repeat year after
year, distinguishing one year's Directory from the next by changing the
year and the color of ink used on the covers.

We invite suggestions and ideas for the Directory cover from AATSEEL
members and their students.  Complete designs (say, in .JPG format), or
just ideas are welcome.  Any graphics submitted should be public domain or
should come with the permission of the copyright holder. No compensation is
offered, but credit will be given for any design that is ultimately used.

Thanks,

Jerry Ervin

FORTHCOMING

Borenstein, Eliot. (in progress), Made in Russia (tm): Popular Culture
and National
Identity after 1991.

Catriona Kelly is working on a book on masculinity or gender in the
Soviet period.

Sergei Ushakin is putting together a Russian-language collection of
articles on masculinity that's going to be published by NLO later this
year.

There is a volume of essays on the subject that is being edited by
Barbara Evans Clements, Dan Healey, and Rebecca Friedman under contract
with Palgrave (formerly Macmillan).  Some of the contributors to that
collection include (besides the editors) Nancy Shields Kollmann, Steve
Smith, Catriona Kelly, Barbara Engel, and Christine Worobec.



MISCELLANEOUS

I believe that Josh Sanborn's dissertation on the military and nation
building in the first three decades of the twentieth century has
materials on masculinity.

See also Rebecca Friedman's dissertation on masculinity in the first
half of the nineteenth century.

Karen Petrone in working on masculinity in the early twentieth century.

When we team-taught a couple of years ago, we came up with a category of
Russian-Soviet masculinity to describe such figures as Nevsky (in
Eisenstein's depiction) that we hadn't seen used elsewhere: razmakh,
which I think is best rendered as "sweep" or maybe "Great Russian sweep"
(I don't think expansiveness is quite the same thing). I've been meaning
to look into it more for some time but haven't got there yet. It seems
to me the word describes a great deal of Russian and Soviet behavior and
could be massaged into a serious category of Russian thought with a
little work.

AMERICAN COUNCILS FOR INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION:  ACTR/ACCELS
JUNIOR FACULTY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM (JFDP)

The Junior Faculty Development Program (JFDP) brings university faculty to
the United States from the Newly Independent States (NIS) for a one-year
fellowship.  Current JFDP Fellows are from Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia,
Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Ukraine and Uzbekistan.   The
fellowship consists of non-degree study, during which the Fellows create
curricula for new courses, modify curricula for courses they already teach,
and develop new teaching methodologies.  In addition, JFDP Fellows may
focus on developing the administrative infrastructures of their home
universities.  Fellows fulfill these goals by informally auditing and
observing courses, working with faculty in hosting departments, networking,
attending conferences, and teaching (if circumstances permit).  The program
lasts one year, and includes a summer practicum.

The JFDP is fully funded by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs
of the U.S. Department of State, and is administered by the American
Councils for International Education: ACTR/ACCELS.

Please visit the JFDP website at http://www.actr.org/jfdp or write to
jfdp at actr.org to receive more information and an application.  All
interested faculty, departments, research centers and university offices
are welcome to apply.

Deadline for submitting application:   March 30, 2001.

Subject: Texts on "loss of innocence"
Message-ID: <TUE.13.FEB.2001.005854.0500.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

Dear SEELANGERs,

I'm in the midst of planning a fall Russian course in translation which will
equally mix film and text, and could use some suggestions for texts.  Most
of the films fit around the theme of childhood to adulthood and examine
children or adolescents as characters (e.g. "Chuchelo," "Ivanovo detstvo").
However, I am in real need of some short texts, ideally 20th century, which
deal with similar themes or can be conveniently read from the context of the
child.  Regretfully, they must also exist in English translation for this
class.  Any suggestions would be deeply appreciated.

Thanks very much!

How about some of Sologub's short stories? Or Leonid Andreev's "In the
fog"? These must have been translated into English some time. Finally, I
would suggest Pasternak's "Detstvo Ljuvers," though that is a complicated
text and maybe not entirely appropriate for the course you're planning.

President and parliament members are invited to take spelling test

The Pushkin Russian Language Institute and Rossiiskaya Gazeta have invited
President Putin, Duma deputies, governors and the players of the Russian
National Hockey team to take a spelling test. In this way, they will be able
to participate in a nationwide Popular Spelling Test that begins on February
12.

The Rossiiskaya Gazeta journalists were the first to take the test. Ten
persons who wrote two sentences dictated by a teacher from a story by Leo
Tolstoy received an average 3.9 mark (based on a 5 points system). Only the
deputy editor in chief Viktoria Molodtsova received 5 points. The rest of the
journalists made punctuation mistakes or errors in carrying over words to
another line. True, there was only one spelling mistake in all ten papers.

The main thing in this undertaking is not to check out how well or how bad
people know their grammar, but to attract attention to language problem,
declared the acting editor in chief Vladislav Fronin. Even journalists, he
explained, have very poor vocabularies today. The overall level of grammar
has fallen dramatically, and this means that culture was on the decline as
well.

Academician Vitaly Kostomarov, the director of the Russian Language
Institute, pointed out that the country still has spelling rules that were
endorsed back in 1956 even though the language is developing and changing.
The Russian language will be what the younger generation wants it to be,
declared the philologist.

The prospects for reforming the Russian language are now under discussion in
the country. Experts at the Institute have been working on it for more than
10 years already. At the same time, it is assumed that the reform will
concern the spelling of not a great number of words, and it will also
"legalize" new words that have appeared in the language but which have not
yet been reflected in the spelling rules.

There's a great story by Vladimir Tendriakov in translation in the "Soviet
short stories series" called
"A topsy-turvy spring". ("Vesennie perevertyshi" It also brings in the
Pushkin theme of Natalja Goncharova, as well as a young boy's first love.

USA NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR CONDOLEEZA RICE SPEAKS OUT
AGAINST RUSSIA

"I believe that Russia is a threat to the West in general and to our
European allies in particular".

The new US National Security Advisor, Dr. Condoleeza Rice, has broken the
silence which shrouded the first three weeks or so of her tenure of office.
Not surprisingly, the tone and content of her discourse smacks of ignorance
and sensationalism, and unfortunately quite predictably, her approach is
exactly what was foreseen in Pravda.Ru's pages many months ago…offensive
arrogance, outdated notions of superiority, imperialist fantasies and proof
of a total ineptitude for the post in which George Bush has placed her.

The interview which this lady has given to "Figaro magazine" reads like a
boring essay from a child who has been given too much responsibility and
whose only resources of communication are a stereotyped reiteration of
standard catch-phrases belonging to yesteryear.

There are a number of absolute clangers in this interview, setting the
scene for what one hopes is a brief tenure of office, hopefully for Mr.
Bush to choose better the next time around.

Condoleeza Rice had been surprisingly quiet until now but she surprises
nobody in her first publicised interview. She was probably allowing
pressure to build up before she let rip with some amazing examples of the
epitome of the wrong person, in the wrong place, at the wrong time.

"I never approved of the Clinton policy on Russia…and the maintaining of
aid to Moscow during this period when everyone knows that corruption and
criminality were corroding the system (sic)".

The USA, a country in which mafia gangs and criminal association apparently
do not operate, would obviously be curious to know what this lady is
saying. However, it gets worse :

"My forecast is that Russia will approach the Arab nations more and more"…
maybe this lady will offer her services as a mediator between the Russian
Federation and Chechnya, if indeed she knows where it is.

Better still comes the following statement, a brilliant example of idiocy,
crass stupidity and total incompetence:
"I really believe that Russia is a threat to the West in general and to our
European allies in particular (sic)".
One wonders whether it is her who is speaking or her boss, Mr. Bush…
"I am convinced that, in our relations with Moscow, we should give priority
to security issues, beginning with nuclear disarmament. The question of
economic and political reforms comes later (sic)".

Given that her country is the only one to have so far used nuclear weapons,
this last statement seems at least a trifle ironical.

In an incredible and confused attempt to gain a minimum of political
credibility, the same lady goes on to state that:
"I naturally consider Russia as a partner and see it as an ally, but I also
know that there are certain ideas in the Kremlin that will enter into
conflict with ours (sic)".

Condoleeza Rice is the National Security Advisor to the President of the
United States of America, George "W" Bush.

Dear SEELANGers,

  If any of you have students interested in taking an intensive summer
Russian course, I'd be grateful if you could mention our program:

  The University of Michigan Summer Language Institute is offering
Intensive First through Fourth Year Russian (the equivalent of two
semesters condensed into 8 weeks, June 27-August 17). Our classes are
small and lively and will be accompanied by a series of films, lectures,
and excursions. Ann Arbor is a very pleasant place in the summer--
nice weather, a thriving music and art scene, and an open, relaxed
atmosphere. Some partial-tuition fellowships are available. For more
information, please visit our website, http://www.umich.edu/~iinet/sli.

                                          Thanks very much,

                                                    Rachel Harrell
                                                    Summer Russian Program
                                                    University of Michigan

PS We're also offering courses for Russian and Serbo-Croatian heritage
speakers (2 credits each, May 1- 31).

Hi,

Sorry, I deleted the original email for this, but I just thought of a great
piece for translation - Akhmatova's "U samogo morya". Judith Hemschemeyer's
translation of it is quite good.

Sounds like it will be a great course!  I would suggest you look at Isaac
Babel's childhood or "autobiographical" stories, such as "The Story of My
Dovecot," "In the Basement," "Awakening," and "You Must Know Everything."
They all exists in translation, though not always very good translation...

It's not a short story, but Gorky's _Childhood_ seems like a great fit for
the "loss of innocence" theme. It's not a long work, and I remember reading
it quickly as an undergraduate and loving it. It remains probably my
favorite work of the period.

Mr. Boele's reservation about Pasternak's [btw: my spell check suggests I
mean to say "pastoral" here! Wonderful!] "Detstvo Ljuversa" is apt --
definitely not something I'd assign to undergraduates.

Hi,

Could someone enlighten me as to the geographical distribution of
of Serbocroatian "shishmish" and "slepi mish" = "bat"?

Also, as far as I know, the West Slavic "netopir" is not used
in Serbocroatian, although it is the normal word for "bat" in
Slovene. Would that be correct?

>Vyacheslau Kebich.
>    Following Kebich's defeat, Lukashenka proposed to Myasnikovich
>to remain in the government. In 1995 Lukashenka appointed
>Myasnikovich to his current position. Myasnikovich is widely believed
>to be one of the most influential representatives of the old
>nomenklatura and, owing to his political longevity, is seen by many
>in Belarus as a personified symbol of political spinelessness. But
>what is particularly interesting, some staunch supporters of the
>Belarus-Russia Union see Myasnikovich as a kind of "Belarusian
>nationalist" who is not wholeheartedly devoted to the merger of the
>two Slavic states. It is not ruled out that the book's "treacherous"
>Myasnikovich derives its origin from a series of articles published
>some time ago in Russia's ultra-leftist and nationalist periodicals,
>including "Zavtra," where the real-life Myasnikovich was presented as
>an enemy of Belarusian-Russian integration.
>    Lyudmila Maslyukova is a journalist of "Sovetskaya
>Belorussiya," Lukashenka's main press mouthpiece. She has a sharp pen
>and her articles usually have a touch of vividness and inspiration
>compared to insipid and heavy-handed pro-Lukashenka propaganda in the
>state-controlled media.
>    Maslyukova lived through an unusual journalistic odyssey before
>arriving at her current political destination. In 1993, she worked
>for "Sovetskaya Belorussiya" and was a sort of press spokeswoman for
>Alyaksandr Lukashenka, then a legislator and head of a temporary
>anti-corruption commission. Maslyukova is widely believed to have
>written for Lukashenka his famous report on corruption in the
>government, which made him a popular hero and gave him an unbeatable
>position in the 1994 presidential race. However, Maslyukova broke
>ties with Lukashenka before the presidential ballot and supported
>Vasil Novikau, the candidate of the Communist Party, in the campaign.
>Following the controversial 1996 constitutional referendum,
>Maslyukova joined the ranks of democratically minded journalists and
>wrote for some time for the anti-Lukashenka "Narodnaya volya."
>Finally, by the end of 1999, she got a job once again in "Sovetskaya
>Belorussiya" and became a model for loyalist pro-Lukashenka
>journalists in Belarus.
>    Judging by its advertisement campaign of "The President's Last
>Soldier," official Minsk expects that the book will inflict
>substantial damage on the opposition in the runup to this year's
>presidential campaign. Belarusian Television's comment on the book on
>8 February clearly signals such expectations:
>    "The novel of Dmitrii Cherkasov, 'The President's Last
>Soldier,' has become a really sensational publication for the
>Belarusian political elite....This is not strange, since a few dozen
>well-known activists may be easily recognized among the plotters,
>political schemers, drug addicts, and even -- pardon my word --
>homosexuals in the book. By revealing the unknown side of life of the
>Belarusian political beau monde, the author has apparently cut many
>to the quick....Meanwhile, the novel was favorably reviewed by
>Russian writers. The author was credited with an uncompromising

David Kaiser asks, having noticed the mention of Croatian and Bosnian corpuses
(corpora),

>Is there a similar corpus for Polish? I noticed the Norwegian site didn't
>have one, is there anywhere else?

Yes, there is, thanks to Adam Przepio'rkowski. See
http://ling.ohio-state.edu/~adamp/searchpage.html
At present it represents Polish in English letters only
(leaves the marks off z* o' n'  l/ etc.) but has the advantage
that you can write a 'regular expression' to specify just
what you want to search for.

Subject: SCLA Second Annual Conference

SECOND ANNUAL CONFERENCE ON SLAVIC COGNITIVE LINGUISTICS:
CALL FOR PAPERS

Conference dates: 1213 October, 2001 at the University of Virginia,
Charlottesville.

Guest speaker: TBA

Abstracts are invited for 20-minute presentations addressing issues of
significance for cognitive linguistics. We define cognitive linguistics as
any linguistic endeavour aimed at providing explanations of linguistic
phenomena which are psychologically plausible, i.e. characterizing "the
psychological structures that constitute a speakers linguistic ability"
(Langacker). As long as there is a cognitive orientation, papers may be in
any of the traditional areas of synchronic or diachronic phonetics,
phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, discourse analysis or
sociolinguistics. Presentations will be followed by a 10-minute discussion
period.

Presentations may be in the native language of the presenter; however, if
the presentation is not to be made in English we ask that you provide the
abstract in English in addition to an abstract in any other languagelast
time there were too many problems with fonts in attached documents.

Papers may also be submitted for two poster sessions, one (I) for
presenters who will be at the confer-ence, and one (II) for presenters who
will not be able to come to the conference, but would like to participate.
For poster session II, presenters should send their posters (2-3 pp.) in
large-font format, including their name and email address, as email
attach-ments, and the organizers will print them out and display them at
the poster session. Discussion of posters in session II will be relayed to
presenters via email.


Deadline for receipt of abstracts: 1 May 2001

Please send abstracts and any inquiries to:

Stephen Dickey (smd6n at virginia.edu)

Though it does not deal with children, certainly Solzhenitsyn's "Sluchai na
stantsii Krechetova" would qualify as a loss of innocence text.  I don't
recall what the translated title was.  I think it was changed dramatically
(and unfortunately) to something like "We never make mistakes."

Dear Seelangs Colleagues,
        The AATSEEL Program Committee invites all AATSEEL members to submit
abstracts for the 2001 AATSEEL Annual Meeting in New Orleans.  The first of
two deadlines for submission of abstracts for double-blind peer review is
two months from today, 15 April.  The advantage of this earlier deadline is
that it gives authors the chance to resubmit abstracts for the second
deadline, 1 August, if reviewers suggest revisions.  Initial submission by
the second deadline is also welcome, but does not allow for the possibility
of revision and resubmission.
        For further information about submitting abstracts and for the Call
for Papers, please see the AATSEEL conference web site at:

http://clover.slavic.pitt.edu/~djb/aatseel.html

        Printed information will soon be available in the February AATSEEL
Newsletter.  Please keep in mind, though, that the most current information
on declared panels can always be found on the web site, which is
continually updated as new panels are declared.  We still welcome new panel
declarations.
        Not a member of AATSEEL, or need to renew your membership for 2001?
Please see the AATSEEL web page at:

http://clover.slavic.pitt.edu/~aatseel/AATSEEL/join.html

        Further guidelines for participation with regard to AATSEEL
membership can also be found at:

http://clover.slavic.pitt.edu/~djb/aatseel/aatseel_guidelines.html

        Please don't hesitate to contact me or my colleagues on the Program
Committee with any questions.  We look forward to receiving abstracts, and
we hope to see you in New Orleans.

Best wishes,

Karen Evans-Romaine
Chair, AATSEEL Program Committee

  Norwich University closes Russian School

NORTHFIELD, Vt. - Norwich University, citing declining interest
  in Russian studies and a desire to focus its energies more on its
  undergraduate programs, closed its prestigious Russian School last fall
  after 32 years.

During the Cold War, the program's enrollment swelled to more than
  300 people. However, since the fall of the Soviet Union, interest in the study
  of the Russian language has diminished. The final program had an
  enrollment of just 45.

The Russian School was founded in 1958 at Windham College in Putney
before moving to Norwich in 1968. The intensive, six-week program offered
  undergraduate instruction in Russian language and culture, as well as
  graduate courses in literature, culture and theory.

  In addition to five hours of classroom instruction per day, the school
  included a full theater production, a festival production, a film series,
  a study café and a lecture series. The school welcomed many special guests
  during its run, including Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn.

The Russian School was the second oldest and third largest language
  school  in the country.

Norwich has reached an agreement with nearby Middlebury College to
  preserve some of the finest traditions of the Russian School. Middlebury,
  which has operated a Russian School every summer since 1946, has acquired
  some of Norwich's assets, including teaching materials, theatrical
  costumes and other memorabilia.

MIDDLEBURY RUSSIAN SCHOOL LITERARY SYMPOSIUM

  In conjunction with the recent closing of Norwich University Russian
  School, this year's literary symposium has moved to the Russian School of
  Middlebury College.

  The symposium attracts scholars of Russian literature and culture for a
  weekend of papers and discussions about current topics. In the past,
  symposia have focused on authors, such as Pasternak, Derzhavin,
  Lermontov, and Pushkin, as well as on cultural topics, such as "Hoaxes
  and Forgeries in Russian Literature."

  In the summer of 2001, the Middlebury Russian School Symposium will be
  entitled "Nachalo Veka kak kult'urnyi fenomen."

The symposium will be hosted by the Russian School on the campus of
  Middlebury College in Middlebury, Vermont during the weekend of July
  20-22, 2001.

The symposium will be opened with a lecture by Lev Loseff and a concert by
Tat'iana Iampol'skaia at Middlebury's Center for the Fine Arts the evening
of July 20th and will resume the following morning with papers by symposium
participants.

Symposium participants will bear all costs of room and
  board. Interested participants may contact Ilya Vinitsky
  (ILV1+ at pitt.edu), symposium organizer, for further information.

  Description:

THE RISE OF A NEW CENTURY AS A CULTURAL PHENOMENON IN RUSSIA

  At the end of the 18th c. Nikolai Karamzin prophesied: "Oh, Rossy, vek
  griadet v Rossii velichaishii!" Similar prophesies one may easily find in
  the works of numerous Russian poets, artists, composers, and politicians
  of the late 19th and 20th centuries. The apocalyptic idea of a new age
  with its great expectations, fears, and premonitions is deeply inherent
  in Russian cultural consciousness. Hypothetically, the notion of the
  beautiful or terrifying "beginning of a century" is opposed to the
  traditional notion of the melancholy "fin de ciecle." The present
  conference is conceived as the discussion of various representations of
  this idea in Russian literature, painting, music, architecture, or
 politics from the late 17th to the late 20th centuries.

Message-ID: <THU.15.FEB.2001.130526.0500.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

ATTN: GRADUATE STUDENTS STUDYING RUSSIAN AND SOVIET FILM AT U.S.
UNIVERSITIES

A graduate student film panel will take place on Mon., April 30, 2001 at
the U. of Pittsburgh.  The panel is the opening event of the 2001
Pittsburgh Russian Film Symposium, which runs from 30 April to 5 May.

Graduate students at US universities and colleges who are doing research on 
Soviet and/or post-Soviet film are invited to submit one-page proposals for 
10-15-minute papers.  The Symposium will provide domestic travel and
lodging for up to four panelists, who will also be able to participate in
all Symposium events.

The title of this year's Symposium is

EVROPSK, RUSSIA: OUT OF european ORDER?

Russia in the twenty-first century has a split status vis-à-vis Europe and
the US.  Russia continues to contribute its own distinct national texts to
the European cultural heritage.  In military, economic, and political
terms, however, Russia exists in a different administrative and conceptual
space, outside the European order.  This contradiction poses challenges for 
interdisciplinary research, as well as opportunities for productive
dialogues with colleagues whose methodological and policy assumptions are
firmly embedded in one or the other of these two Russias.

Russia's "split personality," whether a construct of the US-European
alliance or internal to the emergent nation itself, has both fascinating
and problematic implications for its connections with Europe, as well as
for its own sense of mission as a gateway culture for the Caucasus and
other regions of its "near abroad."   The (to date) little-examined
intersection of Russia with those regions may be the beginning of a
re-conceptualization of this part of the world, and of Russia's role in
defining its position in both global culture and global conflict.

In addition to film scholars from Russia, the U.S., and Europe, Symposium
guests will include screenwriter Aleksandr Mindadze (whose creative
partnership with director Vadim Abdrashitov has produced ten films over the 
past two decades) and screenwriter and director Rustam Ibragimbekov, known
for his work in the 1990s with Nikita Mikhalkov (Burnt by the Sun, Barber
of Siberia), and also for his scripts for earlier films such as White Sun
of the Desert (1969) and The Interrogation (Dopros, 1979).

Papers should address one of the following topics:

The Caucasus in Soviet/post-Soviet cinema
Work(s) by Ibragimbekov and/or Mindadze
The screenwriter and the screenplay in Soviet/post-Soviet cinema
Trials and justice in Soviet/post-Soviet cinema

In addition to the panel, the graduate student event will include a
screening of and responses to the film The Interrogation (Azerbaijanfilm,
1979).

The working languages of the Symposium are English and Russian.  Papers and 
proposals may be in either language, but accepted panelists must provide
copies of their papers in both languages.

Fridrikh Gorenshtein's "Psalom" deals with children and loss of innocence.
I think it's been translated as "Psalm".

Hi folks.

Couple of years ago I received a small grant from IREX to digitize medieval
manuscripts from the microfilm collection at the National Library in Skopje.
At this time I have approximately 17,000 images, and now I am in the process
of placing these images on the Internet. I have already placed close to 6,000
images on a local server, and I am adding more every week. I have created a
temporary index of manuscripts in no particular order. New file names will be
added to the top of the list. The images are in JPG format, and can be slow to
download on a slow connection. Feel free to browse the collection

George.

It seemed to me that in 6:III of Evgenii Onegin when Tatiana says "Ia ne 
ropshchu: zachm roptat'" this might be an allusion to Heine's "Ich grolle 
nicht," but neither Lotman nor Nabokov mention it.    Am I off base here?
Heine's text:
Ich grolle nicht, und wenn das Herz auch bricht,
            Ewig verlornes Lieb! ich grolle nicht.
            Wie du auch strahlst in Diamantenpracht,
            Es fällt kein Strahl in deines Herzens Nacht.

            Das weiß ich längst. Ich sah dich ja im Traum,
            und sah die Nacht in deines Herzens Raum,
            Und sah die Schlang, die dir am Herzen frißt, -
            Ich sah, mein Lieb, wie sehr du elend bist.

Subject: Croatian Summer Program
Message-ID: <THU.15.FEB.2001.144549.0800.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

Croatian Language and Culture Program Summer 2001

Here is the latest information on the KU-Zagreb
U-Hrvatska Matica Iseljenika Summer 2001 Language and
Culture Program in Zagreb, Croatia.

The University of Kansas, through the sponsorship of
the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures and
the Office of Study Abroad will be sending a group of
students to the Zagreb University Summer School of
Croatian Language and Culture. While still tentative
at this point, depending on the enrollment of a
minimum number of eight students, it now appears
fairly certain there will be enough students, judging
by the interest expressed thus far. Last summer�s
program, which had 13 students participating through
KU out of a total of 48 participants in Zagreb was, we
believe, an outstanding educational experience.

After arrival in Zagreb and settling into the dorm on
June 28 and a program orientation on the 29th,
intensive language instruction will be held, June 30 -
July 27, 5 hours daily, M-F, for a total of 100 hours
(beginning level will have an additional hour daily,
thus, 120 hours). Additionally, after the conclusion
of the Zagreb School, in order to meet the usual
requirements for American summer study abroad
programs, a twelve-day culture and study tour on the
coast, July 28 - August 8, will be conducted.  The
tour will include another 20 hours of language
instruction, which makes a total of 120 (/140) hours
of formal language classroom study for the program.
The additional days, plus the 20 hours of instruction
make the program�s participants eligible for outside
funding such as FLAS, NSEP and student loans.  The
language will be taught at several levels, from
beginning to advanced.
Last summer the 48 students were distributed among 8
classes, depending on level of prior knowledge. The
teaching in Zagreb will be done by Zagreb U.
instructors and on the tour by the KU group leader.
The total duration of the program in Croatia will be
exactly 6 weeks.

The cultural content will consist of numerous visits
to museums, galleries of art and other cultural
institutions, as well as attendance at concerts,
theater performances, the �Smotra folklora� folk
festival and weekend study trips outside of Zagreb.
Day tours on weekends will visit Hrvatsko zagorje (the
hinterland north of Zagreb), Plitvica Lakes National
Park in Lika and possibly other locations. The tour on
the Croatian coast will be situated in the picturesque
village of Nerezine on the island of Los"inj, with day
tours around the island and to the islands of Cres and
Rab. Besides enjoying the clear blue water and rocky
beaches of the Adriatic, students will visit local
sites of historical, cultural interest (ancient towns,
churches and monasteries), an ecological center,
attend a classical music concert in a cathedral built
at the time of Columbus, climb a trail to the top of a
1,800 ft. mountain and meet local and vacationing
Croatian young people.

The cost of the program for the participants will vary
depending on the housing and board options chosen. The
academic program, including all cultural aspects and
tours will be about $1,750.  The dorm located in
Gornji grad in the very center of town has double
occupancy rooms. Room and board with 3 meals is
$20/day ($600 for 30 days), with breakfast and dinner
is $16/day ($480), with breakfast only $12/day
($360).  Students may also make their own living
arrangements in Zagreb with friends or relatives,
etc., but will be required to attend all activities of
the group, regardless of their housing location.  The
cost of lodging and meals on the 12-day coastal tour
are to be covered by the students individually (an
estimated $220 minimum in campground and $420 maximum
in private room and restaurant meals). An additional
$200 should be enough for local transportation, books
and study materials, etc. Of course, other personal
expenses are up to the individual student�s budget and
lifestyle ($250 is a suggested reasonable figure).
Finally, the cost of a passport and airfare and ground
transportation to and from Croatia will vary,
depending on the student�s starting point (about
$1,200 from Kansas). Thus, the costs of sample budgets
for the Program may range as follows:

        minimum

$1,750 (no room and board)
     180 (tour restaurant meals)
       96 (camping on tour)
     200 (books, etc.)
     250 (personal exp.)
 1,200 (airfare, etc.)
$3,675 (total)

        maximum

$2,350 (dorm room with full board).
180 (tour restaurant meals)
240 (lodgings on tour)
200 (books, etc.)
250 (personal exp.)
1,200 (airfare, etc.)
$4,420 (total)

Naturally, the total amount will vary with the
student�s actual expenses for the four lower items
listed above. To the minimal figure should be added
the cost food while in Zagreb. A lower cost for meals
on the tour can be achieved by not always eating out
(<$10/day).

Students will earn 8 hours undergraduate credits from
KU upon successful completion of the program.  This
also applies to high school graduates not yet enrolled
in college, who are welcome to participate.

Application materials and further information can be
obtained by visiting the KU website
(www.ukans.edu/~slavic/) and by contacting Prof. Bill
March by e-mail (ku_zg_ljeto at yahoo.com) or by phone at
home in the evening (785-842-0959).

Hi,

I would like to thank Dan Collins for bringing to the attention of
some of us (and no doubt merely reminding others) the existence of
this volume:

Obshcheslavianskii Lingvisticheskii Atlas, Seriia
Leksiko-slovoobrazovatel'naia, Vypusk I: Zhivotnyi Mir

Truly a tremendous resource!

>From Map 15 (pp. 54-5) the range of "s^is^mis^" is extremely
restricted, being confined to northern and eastern Croatia and,
spasmodically, occurring on the littoral. These data accord well
with the data supplied to me by the people who have answered my
original Seelangs posting. "S^is^mi^s" also pops up in southern
Slovenia. According to "Atlas" the situation in Slovenia is a
confused one. The standard would seem to be "netopir", but
"piruz^ek" (?), "polmis^(a)", as well as variants of "netopir",
e.g. "letopir", are encountered.

Dear Colleagues,

I have heard Askol'dov himself speak about all this.  The film was
shelved for 21 years.  At one point it was about to be destroyed, but
Askol'dov succeeded, at the last moment, in shaming Suslov into granting
the film a reprieve, telling him he would be remembered by future
generations as the equivalent of a Nazi book-burner.

Subject: Childhood/innocence:  summary
Message-ID: <FRI.16.FEB.2001.214043.0500.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

Dear Seelangers:

Deep, deep appreciation for your responses on this.  I am posting to the
list because I've never received so many suggestions following a query (56),
not to mention requests for a summary (43).  That alone indicates that many
of you would find this useful, so I apologize for not mailing this out
individually--I was completely swamped.

Thanks also to those who found the topic interesting and offered words of
encouragement--I can only hope that the students respond as enthusiastically
as you all have.  Sometime in the fall I will send (to those who have
requested it) a concrete syllabus from the course.

So, here is the summary of suggestions of works on childhood/loss of
innocence.  If you have even more suggestions, I for one would still welcome
them.  But this list is quite hefty enough to get started (apologies in

I don't know to whom I should reply but I'm afraid this Polish is not totally correct
(there are spelling mistakes at least).

Message-ID: <SUN.18.FEB.2001.132839.EST.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

Since January, the literary journal "Literaturnyj Kyrgyzstan" has an on-line
version. The first issue was put out "on sheer enthusiasm." SOROS has
promised funding if the site is visited by 1000 people. Please make an effort
to support this fine journal (they have been unable to put out frequent
"paper" versions due to lack of funding).

I think we should not forget that LK was one of the first journals to touch
the delicate nationalities question in the early years of perestroika
(despite repressions from the still communist powers, they published a whole
series on the policy of exiling various nationalities to Kyrgyzstan). It was
singled out in 1986 on the All-Union Seminar of Literary Journals for their
daring publications, which came at a time when such themes were not really
touched by journals outside the capitals. These and other "risky"
publications were the reasons that their membership surged to 55,000 in those
years.  Now, like for many other journals, subsidies have been cut and their
further existence is threatened. Please make an effort to frequent their site:

Fellow Seelangers:
Would any of you have a basic (and I do mean basic) list of lit-crit
terms in Russian I could use for my Russian poetry class, or can anyone
suggest an appropriate source or handbook?
The class is taught in Russian and all the work is in Russian but my
students' vocabulary does not (yet) extend to a working vocabulary of
literary terms. I would like for them to have an essential reference
list to use for their papers, and I'd rather bypass the work of
thinking up the list myself.
I'd be glad to translate from an existing English list.
Any help and suggestions will be greatly appreciated,

An excellent source for the translation of literary terms into a variety
of different languages, even if you don't read Polish, is the _Slownik
terminow literackich_, Ed. Michal Glowinski, Teresa Kostkiewiczowa,
Aleksandra Okopien-Slawinska, and Janusz Slewinski, Vademecum Polonisty
(Wroclaw:  Ossolineum, 1988).

If you do read Polish, it is a fine dictionary of literary terms.  If not,
there are four extensive lists of English, French, German, and Russian
literary terms in the back.  Once you have the term you want in, say,
Russian, you can look up the Polish term, and the main entry will contain
the equivalent in the other languages (if there is one), as well as
languages that are not indexed, like Greek, Latin, etc.

The Russian index would likely serve your purposes.

The following recent Russian dictionaries of literary terms can be
used among other sources:

1. Literaturovedcheskije terminy (materialy k slovarju). Kolomna:
Kolomensky pedagogichesky institut, 1997.

2. Literaturovedcheskije terminy (materialy k slovariu). Vypusk 2.

3. Vvedenie v literaturovedenije. Literaturnoje proizvedenije:
osnovnye terminy i poniatija. M.: Vysshaya shkola, 1999.

The last one is especially interesting -- it contains 45 entries
on the main terms with rather detailed definitions and reference lists.

Dear AATSEEL members,

1)  In a week or two you should receive a personalized statement inviting
you to renew your membership and to verify your information for the 2001
AATSEEL Membership Directory.  Please respond promptly so that we can
publish our Directory this spring.

        Also, please use that personalized form rather than renewing via
the "new member" form that is printed in the February '01 AATSEEL
Newsletter (which you should also be receiving in a week or two; it has
just come off the press).  It is much easier for this office to work with
corrections on the personalized renewal form than with the form from the
Newsletter.  (Other renewals are, of course, acceptable.  If you've just
recently sent in a renewal, please be assured that it is being handled
appropriately.)

2)  We are pleased to announce that AATSEEL can now accept charge cards: 
Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover are all welcome.  We expect
this will be a particularly convenient developent for our non-USA members. 


        These charge card arrangements had not been finalized at the time
the February '01 Newsletter went to press; however, your personalized
renewal form *does* invite you to renew via charge by completing the normal
charge card information (card number, expiration date, amount, signature). 
We still welcome personal and institutional checks, of course.

Best regards,

Jerry

Hi, my name is James Noll and I am currently writing a book (fiction)
that
requires a few translations. If anybody can help me with this I would
greatly
appreciate it.  Thank you.

James Noll
jnoll at mwc.edu

Terms/translations needed:

1 - the name of an area of Russia with a distinctive type of Russian
speech or dialect, and the term or name for that dialect (in English),
if one exists

2 - translation, into standard Russian, of the following:

        1 - I'll come back

        2 - Leave me alone

        3 - The land.  It is mine.  The house.  It is mine.

        4 - an insult equivalent to "monster," as used to describe someone who
has done something terrible

        5 - an insult equivalent to "worm"

        6 - a term of endearment equivalent to "beautiful child," that a mother
might say to a newborn daughter

Subject: CFP: "Sense/Nonsense: Unmaking Language"  (Columbia U,
 April 14-15, 2001)
Message-ID: <FRI.23.FEB.2001.234848.0800.SAO15@COLUMBIA.EDU>

CALL FOR PAPERS

The Department of Anthropology at Columbia University, New York, NY
invites submissions for the 2001 Boas-Benedict Conference, entitled
"Sense/Nonsense: Unmaking Language"
April 14-15, 2001

Deadline for the submission of abstracts is March 20, 2001

Since the "linguistic turn" in anthropology, a linguistic or symbolic model
has emerged as a prevalent model for understanding "culture" and the social
writ large.  This conference proposes to explore the borders of this model
for knowledge, the guarded line struck between sense and nonsense that makes
our knowledge tenable.   The point is not to debunk the implications that
anthropology's "linguistic turn" has generated for our knowledge, in as much
as it is to adequately come to terms with the ontological implications that
the recourse to language, broadly understood, might entail, indeed might be
made possible by.

The conference is an invitation to think the nature of the sovereignty of
language/the symbolic in the constitution of our "sense" of the world.  What
are the limitations of what we generally understand by a linguistic or
symbolic construction of the world?  What problems plague this particular
understanding in the social sciences?  In other words, notwithstanding the
political and ethical relevance and purchase of this approach to knowledge,
what are the issues with which it cannot necessarily engage?  Crucially, is
it possible that the very materiality of our existence relates to us, or
communicates with us, in a manner that is not reducible to what the terms of
an analytic of language/symbolic make available for us?  How do we make
sense of that "murmur" (in Foucualt's sense of the word) that is not the
putative language of language?

What, then, does it mean to have a "sense" of something otherwise than
linguistic/symbolic?  Is such a sense "always already" linguistically
constructed or is it ever given over to us with an immediacy that does not
necessarily call upon language? If so, what is the nature of this immediacy?
Further, in this scheme, what is the status of what might tentatively be
called nonsense (non-sense)? That is to say, how can we think, talk, imagine
a 'sense' and/or 'non-sense' not already locatable within - that might even
challenge - linguistic, symbolic, cultural structures and structurings of
meanings?

Topics to consider for this conference include:
· the ways in which sense and nonsense interrupt the play of signification
in instances of shock, trauma, and mental illness, for example;
· what relationships attain between the linguistic/symbolic and the
corporeal/visceral/material;
· what do we mean when we use "experience" as a category;
· translation and un-translatability;
· the relationship between sensory perception and representation;
· the role of sense and nonsense in performances (ritual, theatre, music,
etc.);

Dear fellow SEELANGERS:


I am currently working on a testing project at the Berkeley Language
Center and would like to find out, if possible, what kinds of formal
testing programs (placement, achievement, exit exams, OPIs, etc.), if
any, exist at your institutions. You can reply off-list if you
prefer, and I will compile all the answers to send to the list. (So
please let me know if you do not want to be included.)

Thanks!

I know nothing of the specifics of Fomichev's dismissal, but I will say
this: given the degree of innovation found in his work and thought, one
might scarcely find it surprising that he should be dismissed from a
position as distinguished as his own.  If he worked in an American
University, he would be quite pleased to have tenure.

CALL FOR PAPERS

CONFERENCE ON THE BALKAN SPRACHBUND PROPERTIES
within the framework of the Spinoza Project, http://www.let.leidenuniv.nl/spls
June 7-9 2001, University of Leiden, the Netherlands

Invited speakers: Zeljko Boskovic, Wayles Browne, Victor Friedman, Jouko
Lindstedt, Virginia Motaparnyane Hill, Marisa Rivero, Arhonto Terzi,
Zuzanna Topolinska

The Balkan languages share sets of typological properties which have
contributed to the shaping of a uniform areal typological profile,
referred to as
³Balkan language union² or ³Balkan Sprachbund². A typological language
property is assumed to be areal if (a) shared by at least three
languages of the
area, at least two of which belong to different genetic families, but (b) not
present in all the languages of the genetic family to which the language of the
area belongs (if it belongs to a language family, at all). Since the
amount, the
extent and the limit of areal typological properties necessary for granting
membership into the Balkan Sprachbund, has not and cannot be assessed
independently, linguistic discussion on Balkan Sprachbund membership has
centered around specific properties.
Different analyses single out different arrays of Balkan Sprachbund
properties, though most of them agree on one phonological property ­ the
presence of the schwa phoneme ­ and six grammatical properties: (1)
substitution of the synthetic declension markers by analytic ones; (2)
grammaticalization of the category of definiteness through postpositive
definite articles; (3) pronominal doubling of objects; (4) analytic
expression of
futurity; (5) analytic Perfect with an auxiliary verb corresponding to _have_;
(6) loss of the infinitive and its substitution by subjunctive clauses. Two
Balkan Slavic languages ­ Macedonian and Bulgarian, two Balkan Romance
languages ­ Aromanian and Megleno-Romanian, as well as Albanian have been
said to qualify for full membership; Romanian, Modern Greek, Balkan
Romani and a group of Serbo-Croatian, or rather Serbian dialects ­ the Torlak
ones ­ have been treated as peripheral members; Standard Serbo-Croatian has
been very marginally included; while Turkish has been treated as a ³donor²
language.

Papers within any framework on any Balkan Sprachbund property, involving
any of the Balkan languages, as well as languages outside the Balkans which
exhibit areal properties encountered on the Balkans (e.g. the languages of the
Caucasus or the Volga area) invited. Papers dealing with more than one
language are strongly preferred.

Please send abstracts of no more than 500 words as attachments to an e-mail
message to o.tomic at let.leidenuniv.nl. Deadline March 15. Notification of
acceptance by May 1.

Subject: Sergei Fomichev
Message-ID: <TUE.27.FEB.2001.053202.0600.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

Since the dispatches from Emily Tall and Clark Troy were sent to the entire
SEELANGS subscription list, I feel obliged, as an American Pushkin specialist
currently working in St. Petersburg on a Fulbright scholar-lecturer grant, to
broadcast my response as well.  Since I have not seen the original Johnson's
Russia List report on the problems at Pushkinskii Dom (Institute of Russian
Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences) I must rely on Professor Tall's
remark that this report suggests a possible "return to Soviet-era xenophobia".
 That charge is patently ridiculous.  The issues involved have nothing
whatsoever to do with that favorite hobby-horse of cynical Western
long-distance observers of the Russian scene.  Moreover, Sergei Aleksandrovich
Fomichev was not "dismissed from Pushkinskii Dom", but simply relieved of his
duties as head of the Pushkin Studies Deparment (otdel pushkinovedeniia).
Appointed as temporary acting head (ispolniaiushchii obiazannosti) is Vladimir
Alekseevich Kotel'nikov, one of the vice-directors of Pushkinskii Dom. The
immediate cause of Fomichev's dismissal were the apparently irreconcilable
differences between him and his immediate superior in the administrative
hierarchy, Nikolai Nikolaevich Skatov, director of Pushkinskii Dom and, among
other things, a Pushkin scholar in his own right.  The underlying reasons for
this conflict run far deeper than a mere clash of personalities.  However, so
far as I know (and I work fairly closely to the scene and have contact with
almost all the people concerned), no national, ethnic, racial, or religious
phobias or animosities are involved.  And the suggestion that Sergei Fomichev,
whose accomplishments in textology and promoting Pushkin scholarship are
formidable, and who enjoys the fierce loyalty of his former staff, may not
have earned him tenure in an American university setting, borders on the
obscene.

Dear Seelangs,

I would greatly appreciate it if someone would send me the email and
phone number of Christopher Collins (bystro, bystro!). SEEJ is trying
to secure his permission to republish an article he wrote, and this
would mean a modest fee paid to him by the publisher. So, money is
involved, and time is of the essence. Please reply off-list to the
above email.

Thanks,

Dear SEELANGers:

In response to Ms. Spivak's request for recommendations for on-line
dictionaries, I'm reposting below an earlier answer which comes from an
online guide I wrote for undergraduate students. (I apologize to my British
colleagues for the "lamentable" comment, though I added it for my students'
sake: I remember as an undergrad looking up "na svoix dvoix" in Mueller and
finding "on Grey's mare" as the translation... It took searching in several
English (American) dictionaries, in turn, to discover what that meant.)

Several addenda:
1. I've been translating technical documents lately, and have found that the
Cyrill and Methodius site listed below has an excellent selection of
computer-related terms, though it's significantly better from Russian to
English than vice-versa.
2. Another very useful web reference source is Paul Goldschmidt's Dictionary
of Period Russian Names http://www.sca.org/heraldry/paul/index.html. It's
basically a long list of Russian imena and familii that gives the
etymological meaning and sometimes the initial history of a given family --
very useful sometimes.

****


There have been a couple of questions recently about Russian online
dictionaries. I put the following list & recommendations together for my
students. There's a mix of Russian dictionaries, Russian-English, and
English-Russian. Mr. Stratienko asked whether they were accurate --
considering the generally lower standards for online publication, they've
all struck me as fairly reliable.

The Cyrill and Methodius site also has a really very good news service that
offers some of the more interesting commentary around on Russian and world
events. Check out also their reviews of museum exhibits in Russia.

Dictionaries and References:

Ozhegov's Dictionary of the Russian Language (???????? ??????? ????????
?????): http://www.agama.ru/oz_demo.htm The standard Russian Russian
Dictionary. 40,000 entries, with examples of correct use and some sayings.

Mueller's English-Russian: http://www.falcon.ru/cgi-bin/wwwdic Not a bad
dictionary, exhaustive, but lamentably British.

Andrei Sabelfeld's English-Russian Dictionary:
http://www.cs.chalmers.se/%7Eandrei/dictionary/index.cgi?English=file&Encodi
ng=1251 About 77,000 entries. I've found it to be quite useful and accurate.

The remarkable Babylon: http://babylon.nd.ru/ Search any or all of the
following books: The Dictionary of World Wisdom, Area Codes, The Dictionary
of Orthography, The Dictionary of Foreign Words, Brokhaus and Efron's
Dictionary. The latter is really an encyclopedic dictionary, and probably
the best reference book ever published in Russian.

Another excellent reference site is Cyrill and Methodius (?????? ? ???????):
http://mega.km.ru/ Particularly useful is the pop-up keyboard that allows
you to type (albeit slowly) in Cyrillic regardless of whether you have the
proper drivers installed. In addition to a fairly good encyclopedia, the
site has a well-designed English-Russian/Russian-English dictionary.

That's OK, I found it funny in fact; I took it as semi-ironic.
BTW everybody knows that na svoikh dvoikh means
"on shanks's pony", obvious, innit..?
The new (2000) edition of the major Oxford Russian
Dictionary now includes American usage.
Actually this does point up an interesting phenomenon,
which is that, by and large, the Brits know American
colloquial English quite well, but the opposite is not
the case. Just an observation.

Message-ID: <WED.28.FEB.2001.113246.0000.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

Professor Denner,
No need to apologize to your British colleagues for the "lamentable" comment.
"on Grey's mare" and other such expressions used to give rise to a great deal of
puzzlement and mirth among English students as well. The problem with Russian
dictionaries at that time was not that they tended to 'British' English,
although that was largely true, but that they were compiled without any sense of
current usage so that 'colloquial' examples were often bizarre and decades, even
centuries, out of date. Try 'dudki: rats; yes, over the left; don't you wish
that you may get it'  (I quote from memory) - an entry which nowadays probably
baffles Russians and English speakers of all persuasions, or Smirnitskii's 'he
lies like a gasmeter' s.v. merin.
And thanks for your list of useful sites.

A note to Michael. I am British and have no idea what that expression
means. I am near retirement age so it clearly is really archaic! I would
add that as students we had a game called 'know your dictionary', which
involved catching one's friends out with ridiculous vocabulary taken from
the dictionary, which included absurd English expressions that none of us
had ever heard of. (By the way, the game was a disaster for language
learning, as to this day I have a vocabulary of completely useless words.)
When I spent a year in the USSR in the early 60s and, I may say, on
subsequent visits, I was always falling out with Russians who would try out
allegedly English idioms on me to my bemusement or mirth. Blame the
dictionary.

Faith,
Yes, indeed. My even more aged memory still recalls the Russian for
'Mizzen-royal-backstays', 'must (in wine)', 'the meeting place of the black
grouse in mating season' and  'St John's Wort', the last coming from Povest' o
nastoiashchem cheloveke, which we had to read on a naval interpreters' course,
and in which the wounded hero crawls through about a hundred pages of forest, and
records most of the flora and fauna of European Russia.  And an otherwise
excellent university teacher of English of my acquaintance was in the habit of
exclaiming 'Christ on a bicycle' at moments of stress, under the impression that
this was common parlance.
It also works the other way, of course. My habits of speech in Russian are rooted
in Leningrad student idiom of the 1960's and sometimes make modern young Moscow
sophisticates giggle.

Colleagues,

I never thought I would write this, but I wonder if we aren't being a bit
unfair to poor old Miuller.  His dictionary was never intended to generate
idiomatic English-Russian equivalents, but to enable Soviet citizens to
read and understand those timeless classics of English-language literature
that figured in the canon as defined for the Soviet Union of the 1950s or
thereabouts.  Since those canonised in this fashion included the odd
American (Theodore Dreiser, if no-one else), I would have thought that at
least some arcane Americana would have been included, but perhaps not.

The problem is not in the outdated vocabulary but in the absence of any
reference on the space-time boundaries of the usage.

My sincere thanks to all of you--Ben Rifkin, Lisa Little, Emily John,
Jared Ingersoll, Kostya Kustanovich, and Michael Younger--who
responded to my query about audio-books.  I received many requests to
share the information with the list, so here it is.

1.  "Veniamin Smekhov has some great stuff on audio. You can find his
site by going to Middlebury's Russian School
(http://www.middlebury.edu/~ls/Russian/). Then click on faculty and
scroll down to Smekhov, and then click on his link."

2."Kamkin had a whole catalogue full of them about six months ago."

3. "There are outfits that sell audio books. One I know of is
Russia-on-line. (Don't be fooled by the name, they are an American
firm that does a big business in books, journals and other
non-digital media.)
                You can find them at http://www.russia-on-line.com"

4. "Veneamin Smekhov has recorded several CDs reading complete texts,
including The Master and Margarita, Dvenadtsat' stul'ev, Pikovaia dama,
Gogol's Vii, Stories by Babel' and Kharms, Afanas'ev fairy tales, and
Fairy tales by Russian writers. The person who distributes them is
Elena Shutova. Her phone is 931-372-8945."

5.  "You might want to try Atos Audiokniga at: atos57 at hotmail.com
Web page:  www.audiokniga.com           tel.: 931 372-8945 or fax:
931 372-7535"

6.  "The only source I know of offhand is Audio Forum,
www.audioforum.com -- look under the Russian language part of their
language catalogue,  under "Other Russian Materials".

Subject: an interesting news item on L. N. Tolstoj
Message-ID: <WED.28.FEB.2001.123154.0500.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

      Dear Colleagues:

      I thought this news item on the possibility that the Patriarch might
rethink Tolstoy's excommunication would be of interest to the list. It's
encoded in KOI-8. The article is also available at the link below, though
they usually remove articles from the server after a couple of days, so I
don't know how long it'll be valid.

      ОТЛУЧЕНИЕ ЛЬВА ТОЛСТОГО ОТ ЦЕРКВИ - НЕ ПРОКЛЯТИЕ
      Отлучение писателя Льва Толстого от церкви в начале нынешнего века "не
проклятие, а констатация того факта, что убеждения писателя очень серьезно
расходились с православным учением", заявил официальный представитель
Московской патриархии отец Всеволод Чаплин. Так он прокомментировал недавнюю
просьбу праправнука Л.Толстого снять анафему с его великого предка. В письме
на имя патриарха Московского и всея Руси Алексия в частности, отмечалось,
что русские люди должны выбрать "между национальным гением и национальной
религией". Однако официального ответа от главы Русской церкви потомок
Л.Толстого пока не получил. Между тем, представитель патриархии заметил, что
вряд ли стоит смешивать одно с другим. "Я думаю, все люди в нашей стране, в
том числе верующие, относятся с уважением к Толстому как к писателю", -
сказал о.Всеволод. Однако, добавил он, "когда Лев Николаевич высказывал
взгляды, противоречащие учению и духу церкви, то церковь, естественно, имела
право сказать, что эти взгляды не могут считаться православными". При этом
он добавил, что, "может быть, имеет смысл еще раз сделать оценку творчества
Льва Толстого и периода его жизни между отлучением от церкви и кончиной".

I feel compelled  to defend "poor old Muller" even from his defenders.
To call the author of _The American Tragedy_ and _Sister Carry_  "odd"
strikes me as odd in its own right, especially considering the number of
doctoral
dissertations defended on this odd Driser in the US.  Of course, Soviet citizens

had to read and understand other odd American writers as well, like Melville,
Hawthorn,
Birs, Poe, Tennison, Porter (O'Henry), Dos Passos, Steinbbeck, Hemingway,
Folkner, Salinger,
and others.  Russian translations of all these writers were excellent, superb,
so there was no need for
dictionaries to get aquainted with this classics.  As to English departments, in
the Soviet Union they
were still teaching Queen's Schools English well into the 1970s.

Will,
        "Christ on a bicycle" expanded in the fresh air of New Hampshire to the
euphonic but incomprehensible "Long John Jesus Christ on a bicycle" I heard
at the Pinkham Notch headquarters of the Appalachian Mountain Club, c.
1944. I suspect, though, that this was an individual invention on the part
of someone who was creating a rural, woodsy persona for himself. Not a
trace of a Brit accent, either. Regards, Dean Worth

Indeed. Compare it to the Oxford dictionary of some 25 years ago which
translated "shortage", I believe, as "nedoimki".

Dean,
You are a true lover of language as always, but this reveals hidden depths. The
Long John bit is intriguing: it can't be Long John Baldry, or the fast fish food
people, or the vast number of stores in odnoetazhnaia Amerika, so it must be the
whisky or Treasure Island. Either way it gives food for thought.
Will

As an undergraduate studying Russian I repeatedly looked up an expression that was only defined as "he won't burn down the Thames."  I don't remember the Russian expression, but I've always remembered the English (although I'm not sure I understand it).

A note to Michael. I am British and have no idea what that expression
means. I am near retirement age so it clearly is really archaic! I would
add that as students we had a game called 'know your dictionary', which
involved catching one's friends out with ridiculous vocabulary taken from
the dictionary, which included absurd English expressions that none of us
had ever heard of. (By the way, the game was a disaster for language
learning, as to this day I have a vocabulary of completely useless words.)
When I spent a year in the USSR in the early 60s and, I may say, on
subsequent visits, I was always falling out with Russians who would try out
allegedly English idioms on me to my bemusement or mirth. Blame the
dictionary.

        The expression would have been 'on zvezd s neba ne khvataet - he
won't set the Thames on fire', given as 'coll. iron.' in the Oxford Russian
Dictionary (3rd ed., 2000) under 'zvezda', though not the other way under
'Thames'.
