Panel on Russian Book Culture

[Adrian Wanner]

Dear SEELANGers:
We are looking for a third panelist and a discussant for a proposed
panel on Russian book culture at the 2002 AAASS conference in
Pittsburgh. The two presenters thus far are Hilde Hoogenboom (Stetson
U) with a paper on the transition from manuscript to print culture
for the social elite in nineteenth-century Russia, and Adrian Wanner
(Penn State), who is planning a presentation on the Moscow
conceptualist Lev Rubinshtein and the post-modern disappearance of
the book.  We are particularly interested in a presenter from outside
the field of literature studies--history, art history,
knigovedenie--but all applications will be considered.  If you would
like to participate or know of someone who might be interested,
please contact ajw3 at psu.edu off-list.
