Subject: Computer question: Eudora and Russian?
Message-ID: <MON.1.JUL.2002.191724.0400.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

Dear colleagues,

I'm thinking about maybe switching from Netscape 4.78 to Eudora 5.1 for
email, and I have a few questions:

1. Anyone using it regularly with Russian? Does it work, and work well,
or should I stay put? Does it cope with the various encodings, including
Unicode?

2. How well does it handle multiple accounts ("personalities"?). Is it
easy to switch from one to another, or is it a hassle?

3. I have quite a large collection of folders, old emails, message
filters, and so on in Netscape (Windows Explorer reports a total of some
135 MB of message folders). Will I be able to preserve these (ideally,
import them)? Does Eudora have any limits on the size of this material?
I seem to remember hearing something about keeping folders lean and
mean...

4. Anything else I should know?

TIA

Hi,

Personally I have used Eudora in the past and have NOT had any problems
with Cyrillic ("Russian") letters. Overall, it was a good mail client!
But... at that time it was only Win1251 and KOI8r, so I don't know how
it works with Unicode. Probably it should be working fine, but I don't
have any experience with that.

Nowdays I *must* use Lotus Notes at work (which is a *bad* program that
besides all other issues has problems with Cyrillics and other non-Latin
scripts). And I use free online mailers for personal mails (tut.by,
mailbox.hu and yahoo.com).

Regards,
Uladzimir

From casww at fas.harvard.edu  Thu Jul  4 02:41:50 2002
From: casww at fas.harvard.edu (John Schoeberlein)
Date: Wed, 3 Jul 2002 22:41:50 EDT
Subject: APPEAL- Consider Joining the Central Eurasian Studies Society
Message-ID: <WED.3.JUL.2002.224150.EDT.CASWW@FAS.HARVARD.EDU>

Dear Colleagues:

Central Eurasian Studies is coming into its own and we want to seek
your cooperation to move this process forward.  The signs of this
development are various.  We have much wider attention to Central
Eurasia -- such places as Afghanistan, Chechnya, Georgia, Uzbekistan,
Xinjiang -- than ever before, albeit often for unfortunate reasons.
We have far more young scholars exploring these domains than ever
before.  In 2001 alone, I suspect there were more books published in
English on this region than in the three decades from 1960 to 1990.

There has long been a core of scholarship on this region, though
often it has been treated as peripheral to other fields of study
such as study of Russia or of China.  Now we have the chance to
really build critical mass and strengthen the community and standards
of scholarship.

These are the goals of the Central Eurasian Studies Society (CESS)
-- building communication and scholarly standards.  The CESS was
established in 2000, and I had the privilege of being elected its
first president.  Over the last two years, membership has grown to
approximately 800 now, representing over 50 countries and all fields
of humanities and social science scholarship.

We hope you might be interested in joining us in our efforts to build
this field.  Whether or not you wish to join now (perhaps you would
prefer to watch our development for the time being), I hope you will
do three things:

1) Join the CESS Occasional Mailing List.  This is a very low volume
list (average about one message per month) that will keep you up-to-
date on our conferences, publications, elections, and the like.  Visit
this webpage to sign up (or just let us know of your interest):
       http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~cess/CESS_Mailing_List.html

2) Have a look at our new journal, the Central Eurasian Studies
Review.  It addresses the state of the field from a variety of
perspectives, and I think it is an impressive all-volunteer effort.
We hope you will also contribute to it.  This is distributed free of
charge to all members and by subscription to institutions.  It is
also available on-line:
       http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~cess/CESS_Review.html

3) Consider attending the third Central Eurasian Studies Society
Annual Conference, to be held in Madison, Wisconsin, October 17-20,
2003.  It is a wonderful opportunity to meet colleagues and see what
interesting work is being done in the field.  One month remains
before the extended deadline for submissions -- Aug. 1.  Find full
information at:
       http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~cess/CESS_Conference.html

Please also have a look at all the momentum which is developing in
our activities (main webpage: http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~cess/ ).
We hope you will join in actively in the team effort of pursuing
these goals -- to consider where you can become involved, see:
       http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~cess/CESS_Participation.html

If you do wish to become a member, note that our dues are modest
(from $0 to $30, depending on one's income) -- for details and
registration, see:
       http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~cess/CESS_Membership.html


It is an exciting time to be involved in the study of this part of
the world.  And many of us who have become involved in the effort
to build the Central Eurasian Studies Society have found it a
gratifying way to contribute to worthy effort and become involved
in the community.  We hope you will join us!

Sincerely,

John Schoeberlein

I am the Director of a small rural library in Michigan and have a young
patron who is ferociously interested in learning everything he can about
his hockey hero, Dominic Hasek.  His curiosity extends to Mr. Hasek's
native language, which I believe would be some form of Slavic since he was
born in Pardubice, in the Czech Republic.  Can you suggest any junior level
material, both learning and informational that I could seek in his behalf? 
If not, could you suggest a source or an additional contact that I could
inquire of?

From sp27 at CORNELL.EDU  Sat Jul  6 18:08:01 2002
From: sp27 at CORNELL.EDU (Slava Paperno)
Date: Sat, 6 Jul 2002 14:08:01 -0400
Subject: Russian films on DVD (Announcement)
Message-ID: <SAT.6.JUL.2002.140801.0400.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

The four Russian documentaries by Slava Paperno, Slawomir Grunberg, and
Viktoria Tsimberov are now available on DVD from
http://lexiconbridge.com/films/

Playable in consumer DVD players and also on computers with DVD drives,
this new version offers all the advantages of digital media: one-button
access to any part of the film and excellent image and sound resolution.
The films were remastered from the broadcast-quality originals.

Designed for use in Russian language and culture courses, these films
received the "best of the year 2000" award from AATSEEL. They are true
stories and unrehearsed interviews with real people in unusual situations.
All were filmed in Russia in the mid-nineties.

The films are used in many schools around the world. They provoke intense
discussion in class. The events and the issues rarely leave the viewer
indifferent. Even though filmed and edited with an eye for the students'
interests, they are not artificial in any sense. The language is completely
uncensored (one interview even includes a "maternoye vyrazhenie", followed
by an "Excuse me!") and truly reflects the speakers' mood and attitude. The
filmmakers are also careful not to promote any one interpretation of the
events. The audience is thus encouraged to form and defend their own views.

The films are also high-impact stories in their own right.

Children from Russia (60 min, DVD, tape or CD-ROM) is the stories of
several Russian children who were adopted by Americans, filmed as the
adoption process goes through its ups and downs.

Michael and Svetlana (90 min, DVD, tape, or CD-ROM) is the story of an
American from a small town in New York and a Russian from a tiny village
300 miles from Moscow. They meet through a marriage broker, and the film
follows every step of their story.

In Interviews from Russia (90 min, DVD, tape), the Russians of the nineties
speak of their success, disappointment, and coping in a time of change.
Some are successful businessmen (and women), others feel that they're the
victims of the new Russia.

Life on the Atomic River (60 min, DVD, tape, CD-ROM) is about the worst
nuclear contamination disaster on this planet. In over 200 encounters, the
people involved in it tell their side of the story.

Adopting Olya (30 min, DVD or tape) is an English-language version of one
of the adoption stories in Children from Russia. It starts in an orphanage
in Chelyabinsk and ends in a comfortable home in California, with the child
entirely transformed by the change.

Complete transcripts of the dialog are available as PDF files from each
film's Web page at

http://lexiconbridge.com/films/

The transcripts can be freely downloaded. No fonts are required for reading
or printing them, but you'll need to have Acrobat Reader installed on your
computer.

Any questions may be sent to Slava Paperno at sp27 at cornell.edu.

Dear colleagues:
    A number of years ago I published an annotated collection of 15
Vysotsky songs, designed for anyone with at least 2 years of Russian. I
sold a number of them to members of this list, but have quite a few left
(I distributed them myself). I would like to get rid of them, and am
willing to let them go for a nominal price of $5, (including shipping
charges). An accompanying cassette would cost $3.
    If you are interested please respond off-list, or send a check to
Emily Tall, 857 Robin Rd., Amherst, NY 14228.
    Thanks. Emily Tall (assoc. prof. of Russian emerita, SUNY/Buffalo)

I am pleased to announce that a substantial part of the Brown
University On-Line Czech Anthology has been completed.
http://www.language.brown.edu/CZH/
The site now contains 22 annotated texts, all with sound files and
prereading questions for intermediate readers of Czech.  Other parts
of the anthology are under construction and there are adjustments to
be made, but our project team hopes that the site will be useful for
teachers and students of Czech.

own.  We think it would be a wonderful resource if we can gather a
number of syllabi from courses on Central Eurasia (~~Central Asia)
as a source for inspiration to those who are designing courses or
just looking for worthwhile readings on the region.

My request to you:

  - If you have taught a course on Central Eurasia, please send a
copy of the syllabus.

  - If you have taken a good course on Central Eurasia recently,
please send a copy of the syllabus and/or the contact information
of the person who taught the course.  Before posting such a
syllabus, we will obtain the permission of the course instructor.

We will make these available to everyone via the <Central Eurasian
Studies World Wide> website.  They will be converted into PDF
(Adobe Acrobat) format, formatted so that those who download the
file cannot select and copy text (this is to encourage reading and
discourage copying pieces of the text).

The instructor will, of course, be duly credited.  The index of
syllabi will include the instructor's contact information if they
wish (and the syllabus itself may include or exclude contact
information).

The region encompassed by "Central Eurasia" is broad, extending from
Mongolia, Xinjiang and Tibet, through Siberia, Central Asia and
Afghanistan, to the Caucasus, the Black Sea region and the Volga
Basin.  Of interest are all time periods and disciplinary
approaches.  Syllabi in any language are welcome.

This initiative is in conjunction with the Central Eurasian Studies
Society (CESS), a scholarly association aimed at promoting exchange
of information and perspectives among scholars and students of the
region, and working to foster high standards of scholarship in the
field.  Note that the CESS publishes a journal -- the Central
Eurasian Studies Review (CESR), which includes a section devoted to
"Educational Resources and Developments" -- possibly also of
interest to you.  See the CESS website at http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~cess/
and the Central Eurasian Studies Review on-line at
http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~cess/CESS_Review.html

Please send your syllabi to <casww at fas.harvard.edu>.  Ideally they
should be sent as attachments in MS Word format.  This will allow us
to convert them to PDF format with maximal readability and minimal
file size.  You can also send a scanned version of the syllabus to
the above address, or a paper version to:

    John Schoeberlein
    Harvard Program on Central Asia and the Caucasus
    625 Massachusetts Avenue, Room 262
    Cambridge, MA 02139   USA

Your help in this initiative will be a real contribution to building
our field of study.  Good teaching materials for this field of study
are relatively scarce, and they are often particularly hard to find
out about because of the state of the field -- rapidly developing,
weakly integrated, and widely dispersed.

Thank you for you attention and assistance.

Sincerely,

John Schoeberlein

PUTIN LOYALISTS GO AFTER AVANT-GARDE WRITER. Novelist Vladimir Sorokin is
being investigated by Moscow prosecutors who are looking into whether his
1999 novel "Goluboye Salo" ("Blue Lard") is pornographic, Russian and
Western news agencies reported on 11 July. Svetlana Petrenko, an aide to
the city's chief prosecutor, told AP that the probe was launched in
response to a complaint by the pro-Putin youth group Moving Together,
which particularly objected to a sexual scene in the novel involving
former Soviet leader Joseph Stalin and Nikita Khrushchev. Petrenko also
said that prosecutors are investigating the book's publishers and
distributors. Last month, Moving Together staged a protest in Moscow at
which members tore up copies of the book and threw them into a giant mock
toilet bowl. "This may generate a trend that would signal a cleansing in
literature and culture as a whole," the 47-year-old Sorokin said,
according to Interfax. The news agency also quoted Human Rights Ombudsman
Oleg Mironov as saying, "Writers should speak of the reasonable and the
eternal instead of cursing and describing improper scenes." If convicted
of disseminating pornography, Sorokin could be sentenced to up to two
years in prison, AP reported. RC

CULTURE MINISTRY SPEAKS OUT AGAINST SOROKIN INVESTIGATION... The criminal
case against avant-garde writer Vladimir Sorokin launched by Moscow
prosecutors on 11 July (see "RFE/RL Newsline," 11 July 2002) received a
great deal of public criticism that day. Prosecutors allege that Sorokin's
novel "Goluboye Salo" ("Blue Lard") is pornographic. According to an
official statement by the Culture Ministry's press office, that ministry
considers the decision to open the case "erroneous, ungrounded, and a
violation of a citizen's constitutional rights," RIA-Novosti reported.
"Russian history shows that criminal cases against writers Andrei
Sinyavskii, Yulii Daniel, and Aleksandr Ginzburg have only discredited the
ideas of personal freedom and freedom of speech," the statement went on to
say, according to ITAR-TASS. MD

...AS WALKING TOGETHER LEADER JUSTIFIES THE ACCUSATIONS... Aleksei Volin,
deputy chief of the government staff, also criticized the action, saying
that it "elicits a mixed feeling of despondency and amazement," according
to Interfax. Sorokin himself denied the allegations and said that his
novel "contained only two sexual scenes and was written about the death of
Russian literature." "Goluboye Salo" was published over three years ago,
but the investigation began only now at the initiative of the pro-Putin
youth movement Walking Together. In an interview with RFE/RL's Moscow
bureau broadcast on 10 July, the leader of movement, Vasilii Yakimenko,
said the group is trying to "transfer Sorokin into the marginal
[category]" and prove that "Sorokin's publications are not books in the
classical meaning of the word." MD

...AND PROSECUTOR FILES CHARGES. Meanwhile, prosecutors completed their
evaluation of the novel on 11 July and determined that it is indeed
pornographic, Reuters and Western news agencies reported. Formal charges
against Sorokin were filed the same day. Moscow prosecutor Mikhail
Avdyukov rejected criticism of the investigation. "In deciding whether or
not to initiate a criminal case, law enforcement agencies cannot be guided
by any one person's aesthetic tastes. We act strictly within the framework
of the Criminal Code and the Criminal Procedure Code," he said in an
interview with Interfax on 11 July. "Let me assure you that this
assessment will not depend on the personal aesthetic preferences of
officials," he said before the assessment was completed. MD/RC

Subject: transliteration of Russian (and other languages written in Cyrill
 ic) in languages other than English
Message-ID: <FRI.12.JUL.2002.205514.0700.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

All,

I am trying to find transliteration tables for the common transliteration
systems that are used for Cyrillic in languages other than English.
Specifically I am insterested in German, French, Italian, Spanish and the
East European languages that are not written in Cyrillic (Polish, Croatian,
Slovak, Czech, etc.).

I am putting together a website as part of an information literacy
initiative I am working on with our Slavic Department. One page deals with
transliteration (the various systems, their history, where they are used,
how they are/have been used in libraries, etc.).

I know scholars often may miss relevant titles/articles if they do not know
the transliteration systems that scholars writing in other countries use for
Cyrillic. (for example, when I was working on Shalamov, I found that I
needed to search for Shalamov, Salamov, Schalamow, Chalamov, etc.).  Some of
this can be avoided by using truncation, but it is nice to know it as well.


If anyone knows where I can find the various transliteration systems in
print or online, please let me know. Also, any good sites just on
transliteration practices, theory, problems, etc. would be welcome.

I am also intersted in the common systems of transliteration ror
representing foreign words in Russian/Cyrillic.

I don't know if anthing like it exists in these countries, but what I am
seeking is a pamphlet like Thomas Shaw's, detailing the various systems of
transliteration for Russian into English, only for the languages I listed
above.

Thanks,

mb

There's comprehensive guidance on how to transliterate Cyrillic (and
many other scripts) for use in Czech texts in the Rules to Czech
Orthography (Pravidla ceskeho pravopisu); recent editions are from
1993 or later, and many university libraries will have them.  The one
I'm holding at the moment is published by Academia, 1993; it is the
so-called "academic" edition (as opposed to the "schools" edition,
which is labeled "skolni vydani") and contains, under the heading
"Doporucena pravidla prepisu slov z cizich jazyku do cestiny", tables
for the transliteration of Russian, Belarusian, Bulgarian,
Macedonian, Serbian as well as Chinese, etc.  The Rules were compiled
by the Czech Language Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences and
thus carry the weight of an authoritative recommendation, although
they are not binding in any legal sense.

Subject: Computer question: Eudora and Russian?
Message-ID: <SUN.14.JUL.2002.201134.0400.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

Follow-up on my earlier question:

> > I'm thinking about maybe switching from Netscape 4.78 to Eudora 5.1
> > for email, and I have a few questions:

Qualcomm tech support says

"The English version of Eudora only supports the ISO-8859-1 standard.
Eudora is available, however, for specific languages such as Japanese
and French."

When I inquired about Russian, I was told:

"Unfortunately, we do not have a Russian version of Eudora (localized).
However, there may be third-party plug-ins available on the Net to read
and send using a Cyrillic character set, however, this is not a
supported feature."

I fiddled around with the settings for a bit, and I was able to send a
Cyrillic message to myself, but the header specified the ISO-8859-1
("Western") character set, so Netscape could only read it after I
clicked reply and selected a Cyrillic encoding for the Composition
window, a major inconvenience.

   Sidebar:
   Eudora is not Unicode-aware, so it lists all fonts in single-
   byte terms. Thus, Times New Roman is listed as "Times New
   Roman Baltic," "Times New Roman Cyr," "Times New Roman Greek,"
   etc. This means in principle that you can select these code
   pages for display and sending, but in practice, since Eudora
   marks all messages as ISO-8859-1 ("Western"), the recipient
   must have a way to overrule its lie.

When I returned the message to myself and tried to read it in Eudora, it
was displayed in Western encoding, notwithstanding the fact that I had
specified that mail was to be displayed in the font Times New Roman Cyr.

In principle, a message could be sent in HTML ("styled text"), but the
tag that specifies the character set, <META http-equiv="Content-Type"
content="text/html; charset=windows-1251">, would have to be inserted in
the head of the HTML message, and Eudora does not appear to offer access
to the head, only to the body.

It seems that at the moment, Eudora is much too clumsy in this respect
to be useful to someone using Cyrillic on a regular basis.

Thanks to all for your input.

Have you considered experimenting with "Microsoft Entourage"? I just sent a
message to myself in Cyrillic using "Entourage" and it came through in
Cyrillic just fine. (The same message forwarded to "Outlook Express" and
"Eudora" was, not surprisingly, Cyrillicless.) The only setting I changed in
"Entourage" to enable composing, sending, and receiving in Cyrillic was
under "General Preferences"/"Fonts"/"Default fonts for language," which I
changed to "Cyrillic." Note: I use a Macintosh under OS X.

No, I had not considered it, largely because I had never heard of it. In
general, given the reputation of Outlook Distress and other MS products
with respect to security, I had not really even looked at them.

My chief reason for considering a switch is Netscape's mild clumsiness
with encodings (you can lie to it successfully, you can trick it) and a
couple of minor issues with the browser. At the moment, my life and my
business are not severely affected, and I could probably go on
indefinitely with these inefficiencies slowing me down a little. I'm
looking for an upgrade to something even better.

You should know that I don't have a mac, and none is in the works.

My original questions were:

1. Anyone using it regularly with Russian? Does it work, and work well,
or should I stay put? Does it cope with the various encodings, including
Unicode?

2. How well does it handle multiple accounts ("personalities"?). Is it
easy to switch from one to another, or is it a hassle?

        [I like Eudora's habit of retrieving mail for all ac-
        counts simultaneously -- that's a real advantage over
        Netscape. -- pbg 7/14/02]

3. I have quite a large collection of folders, old emails, message
filters, and so on in Netscape (Windows Explorer reports a total of some
135 MB of message folders). Will I be able to preserve these (ideally,
import them)? Does Eudora have any limits on the size of this material?
I seem to remember hearing something about keeping folders lean and
mean...

4. Anything else I should know?

If you can recommend a Windows-compatible program that will enable me to
"fly like an eagle," so to speak, I'm sure there are others on the list
who will be happy to hear about it as well.

Subject: AATSEEL abstract deadline August 1
Message-ID: <MON.15.JUL.2002.082322.0400.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

        (Forwarded for Karen Evans-Romaine:)

Dear Colleagues,

The second deadline for submission of abstracts to the 2002 AATSEEL
meeting in New York is 1 August. By this deadline you may either
submit a revised abstract from the April round, or a new abstract.

AATSEEL members may also submit new panel declarations by 1 August.
We encourage panel chairs to shape the composition of panels by
recruiting panelists for them; each abstract author must, however,
submit his or her abstract to the appropriate Program Committee
contact person for peer review. We also ask that panel chairs who
receive abstracts forward a copy of them to the Program Committee.

The Program Committee prefers submission of abstracts by e-mail
whenever possible, preferably within the body of an e-mail message,
rather than by attachment. Although you are welcome to make
parenthetical references to sources within the text of your abstract,
or to include a bibliography with your abstract, we discourage the
use of footnotes or endnotes.

The Call for Papers, as well as guidelines on writing and submitting
abstracts, can be found on the AATSEEL Program Committee web site:

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

Abstract authors must be AATSEEL members in good standing, or have an
appropriate waiver of membership, at the time they submit abstracts.
For membership guidelines, see the above site, and the general
AATSEEL web site:

http://www.aatseel.org

Please note that all correspondence related to AATSEEL membership
should go to the new AATSEEL Executive Director, Kathleen Dillon:

Subject: On-line version of the Linguistic Bibliography
Message-ID: <TUE.16.JUL.2002.110914.0200.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

Dear SEELANGers,
An important bibliographical tool has become available on the Internet: 

BIBLIOGRAPHIE LINGUISTIQUE / LINGUISTIC BIBLIOGRAPHY ON-LINE

Bibliographie Linguistique / Linguistic Bibliography (BL) can now be consulted free of charge at http://www.kb.nl/blonline. The BLonline database provides bibliographical references to scholarly publications on all branches of linguistics and all the languages of the world, irrespective of language or place of publication. The database contains all the entries of the printed volumes of BL from 1993 onwards and in addition an increasing number of more recent references. Annual volumes will continue to be published in print by Kluwer Academic Publishers. The BLonline database is still under construction. As a consequence, many of the more recent references are not yet released and a number of complex diacritics are not yet properly displayed. Suggestions, comments and remarks can be sent to bl at kb.nl.

BL is compiled at the National Library of the Netherlands and edited by Mark Janse and Sijmen Tol on the authority of the Permanent International Committee of Linguists under the auspices of the International Council for Philosophy and Humanistic Studies. More information on scope, coverage and organization of BL at http://www.kb.nl/bl.

sold a number of them to members of this list, but have quite a few left
(I distributed them myself). I would like to get rid of them, and am
willing to let them go for a nominal price of $5, (including shipping

    If you are interested please respond off-list, or send a check to

From AHRJJ at CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU  Tue Jul 16 22:09:09 2002
From: AHRJJ at CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU (Alex Rudd)
Date: Tue, 16 Jul 2002 18:09:09 EDT
Subject: SEELANGS Administrivia - Advertising on SEELANGS
Message-ID: <TUE.16.JUL.2002.180909.EDT.>

Dear SEELangers,

Over the last few days I've caught myself writing off-list to
two or three of you regarding one of our list guidelines.  To
spare me from having to continue writing such reminder notes,
I'm addressing this one to everyone.

First, here's the guideline, which is taken from our Welcome
message.  I'll follow it with some brief commentary.

--- Begin ---

Advertising on SEELANGS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Since only subscribers have the ability to post to SEELANGS,
no outside entity will post advertisements directly to the
list.  From time to time the list owner receives requests
from vendors of slavic-related merchandise to distribute
information about that merchandise to the list membership.
If the list owner determines that the information may be of
interest, he may forward it to the list if the vendor complies
with the following conditions:

The advertisement will:

  o briefly identify the company
  o briefly describe the product(s)
  o NOT contain any price information or dollar amounts
  o request that any interested parties contact the vendor
    directly for further information
  o contain vendor contact information
  o NOT be more than 60 lines of text

List members who wish to advertise businesses or products
in which they have a financial interest are discouraged from
doing so on SEELANGS if the businesses or products have
nothing to do with slavic languages or literature.  If they
do have something to do with slavic languages or literature,
list members are asked to comply with the above guideline.

NOTE:  The above guideline regarding advertising on SEELANGS
does not apply to seminar and conference announcements.
Such announcements may contain dollar amounts and, due to the
occasional inclusion of forms, may exceed 60 lines of text.  If
posting an announcement or including a form, please be sure to
insert your own "Reply-To:" tag in your out-going mail header or
write the list owners for assistance if you do not know how that
is accomplished.

--- End ---

That guideline has been disregarded lately in two ways.  First,
messages advertising products (e.g., books) have exceeded 60
lines of text.  Second, they have contained price information.

The first restriction is intended to spare everyone from having
to deal with long advertisements and also to spare our disk
space, as each message posted to the list is archived and there's
no real need to preserve such marketing materials.

The second restriction is in place because SEELANGS is
administered using the software and hardware resources of the
City University of New York (CUNY).  As a public, taxpayer-
supported institution, CUNY has policy against using its
resources for commercial purposes, such as advertising, and we
must obey that policy.  Therefore, I just ask that you not
post full advertisements to SEELANGS.  If you have something
in which you think fellow list members would be interested, tell
them a little something about it and then point them somewhere
where they can learn more, including price information, by giving
them an e-mail address to which to write or a Web site URL they
can visit.

Finally, if you do not have your own copy of the SEELANGS Welcome
message, which contains this, and all, our guidelines, you can
grab one simply by sending the command:

GET WELCOME SEELANGS

in the body of e-mail to:  LISTSERV at LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU

For your convenience, you can also find it on-line on the
SEELANGS Web site.  The URL to that site can be found at the
bottom of this message and every message posted to the list.

Any questions, let me know.

Thanks.

- Alex, list owner of SEELANGS    seelangs-request at listserv.cuny.edu

If anyone is aware of anyone who teaches Russian at ILR Level 3/ACTFL
Superior and ILR Level 4/ACTFL Distinguished (i.e., at Level 3, with
successful experience at getting students to Level 4, would you be so kind as
to pass on the following information:

The Journal for the Advancement of Distinguished Language Proficiency is
looking for articles in the areas of theory, programs, and research on this
topic. The ADLP Journal is published by the Center for the Advancement of
Distinguished Language Proficiency at San Diego State University; a proposal
is under consideration for joint publication with Cambridge University Press.
 (Note: The ADLP Journal accepts articles in any language; they do not have

Teach Yourself Russian Language, Life and Culture
Stephen and Tatyana Webber
Hodder and Stoughton, 2002, xii + 244 p. ISBN 0-3407-9077-6 (pbk).
(Introductory book for
students.)

     The promise of an overview of the language, life and culture of a
country as huge as Russia in
something over 200 pages is remarkable, but one which the authors of
this book have fulfilled with
outstanding success.

     Readers with little or no knowledge will be given a most
comprehensive view of the country,
from its earliest history to current events.  Readers familiar with
Russia are bound to find in this
book something new, particularly as the book includes recent events and
changes in Russia, and
particularly useful for all readers will be the Taking It Further
section at the end of each unit,
suggesting websites, books and other sources for further study.

     The authors have not fought shy of tackling any aspect of Russia
and throughout the book
succeed successfully in providing a comprehensive and thorough look at
the country's history,
culture, politics, geography and people, without sacrificing detail.
Mini-biographies summarise the
lives of Russia's most important figures, history and politics are put
into context and Russian
terms are clearly explained.  A most useful and comprehensive
introduction to the Russian language
is given and at the end of each unit key words and phrases are given in
both Russian (in Cyrillic
script) and English.

     This book would be an ideal text for students preparing for the new
AS and A2 Russian
specifications, which demand that all students demonstrate knowledge of
Russia in all 6 units of the
examination.  Students of any aspect of Russia will find it a most
useful support for their studies
and it will be a most valuable resource for teachers.  Those looking for
information on a certain
topic will dip into this book and use it as a launch pad for further
study.  The book is written in
an informal and accessible style, which will encourage even the most
reluctant student to read
further.

     All aspects of Russian life are explored, including details of
Russian customs, humour, songs,
recipes and anecdotes from the authors' own experiences.  All readers,
whether their prior knowledge
of Russia is huge, slight or non-existent, will enjoy this book and find
it a wonderful source of
information about this fascinating country.

Maybe, but only as long as you use a proportional font (with the
narrower "l"!), otherwise it is a draw with the National Library of
Norway (nb at nb.no) and many others. .com, .edu, .net etc. users have a
handicap from the start, but as the domain .us comes into use,
addresses like "wb at cu.us" or perhaps even "w at cu.us" should become
possible.

Dear Seelangers

I webmaster the literature website http://www.polishwriting.net.

Someone called Tomasz Popielarz has bought the polishwriting.COM domain and
has linked it to his site http://www.korepetycje.com.  Apart from
translation, their business involves selling essays which students can pass
off as their own work (i.e. cheating).

Apart from using the list to underline that I have absolutely no association
with this site, I would like to ask if I should be reporting this to an
appropriate US organisation.  The plagiarism sites I have found are either
commercial (anti-plagiarism software) or lecturers' home pages.

Many thanks for off-list responses to agleader at pi.be

Dear Seelangers,

For a class of innocents this fall, I'm vainly looking for subtitled
(English) versions of these two films.  No vendors I've contacted offer them
in this format, though many offer them in the original, unsubtitled Russian.
If anyone knows of how to obtain these subtitled in English, I'd be most
grateful.

Dear SEELANGERS,

Just a short query about Milan Kundera's story. Could somebody tell me
the original name of the story "Old dead make room for the young dead"
(from "Laughable Loves") in Czech language? Thanks in advance! And if
you  know whether the whole text is available online somewhere, I will
be even more indebted!

Subject: Kundera query
Message-ID: <TUE.23.JUL.2002.215020.0400.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

The Czech title (without diacriticals) is "At ustoupi stari mrtvi mladym
mrtvym."

Using the Windows-1250 (Central European) character set, it reads "Ať
ustoupí staří mrtví mladým mrtvým."  If you set your mail program to the
same character set you should be able to read it just fine.

As for an online version of the Czech text, I have no idea.

Subject: translation rights in Russia
Message-ID: <TUE.23.JUL.2002.222054.EDT.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

I was wondering if anyone has had dealings with Vagrius publishers. I sent
them a letter in Feburary requesting permission to translate a few short
stories by one of their authors into English. I have yet to hear back from
them. I am new to the process of obtaining translation rights, but I am sure
any American publisher would have responded to me by now. Is there a
different procedure for getting translation rights in Russia than there is in
America?

I would be grateful to anyone who writes to me directly at rrg3 at nyu.edu.


Many thanks,
Rebecca Gould

My book "Philemon i Bavkida" was published by Vagrius 3 years ago.
Vagrius had the rights for translations for 3 years - this is a standard

Subject: Marshak - First Writers' Congress
Message-ID: <FRI.26.JUL.2002.111212.0400.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

Dear all,
apologies for what may be an impossible query...
I was wondering if Samuil Marshak's speech on childrens' literature from 
the First Writers' Congress has been translated into English? (I would 
like to use it in a class, but before I think of translating it myself, I 
am searching...) 
Also, can you suggest a good essay or other treatment of the Congress 
itself (one which explains, ideally, what has been happening at the 
congress, historically)? What I have found so far - the main or "canonic" 
works on socialist realism - are useful, but do not quite allow one to 
explicate the event in class setting...
So many thanks.
Sincerely yours, 
Simon Krysl

Subject: [SEELANGS] Marshak - First Writers' Congress

tHERE IS AN ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF THE PROTOCOLS OF THE FIRST CONGRESS THAT
HAS CHUKOVSKYH'S AND MARSHAK'S SPEECHES. I DON'T REMEMER THE TITLE, BUT IT'S
PROBABLY SOMETHING WITH FWC IN TITLE. GOOD LUCK.
Dear all,
apologies for what may be an impossible query...
I was wondering if Samuil Marshak's speech on childrens' literature from
the First Writers' Congress has been translated into English? (I would
like to use it in a class, but before I think of translating it myself, I
am searching...)
Also, can you suggest a good essay or other treatment of the Congress
itself (one which explains, ideally, what has been happening at the
congress, historically)? What I have found so far - the main or "canonic"
works on socialist realism - are useful, but do not quite allow one to
explicate the event in class setting...
So many thanks.
Sincerely yours,
Simon Krysl

Try:

Kluge, Rolf-Dieter. -  Heinrich Heine in Russland  / von Rolf-Dieter
Kluge. -  Tübingen : Slavisches Seminar der Universität Tübingen, 1998
[001634236]

or:

Gordon, Jakov Il'ic. -  Heine in Russland : 1830-1860  / Jakov Il'ic
Gordon. -  Hamburg : Hoffmann und Campe, 1982 [001246924]
(the latter was first published in Russian, as "Gejne v Rossii")

You can also check:

Ritz, German. -  150 Jahre russische Heine-Übersetzung  / German Ritz. -
[S.l. : s.n.], 1981 [001379129]

(it'a, as far as I remember, an anthology of Russian translations from
Heine).

Hope that helps.

Kitabs are the books written in Belarusian language using Arabic
alphabet. They were written mostly in the 16th century by the Tatars
that lived in Belarus, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, since 14-15th
centuries and have gradually forgotten their native tongue. In order to
preserve their religion they had to translate Koran and other sacred
Islamic books into Old Belarusan language, but preserving the Arabic
script...

Subject: Recommendation for "Fellow Spam-Victims": MailWasher
Message-ID: <SUN.28.JUL.2002.123025.0700.>

Hi!

As a "victim of everyday spam" myself (not because of this mailing list
- but I'm sure everyone here knows what I mean), I found a simple tool
that helped me "retaliate" in some way.
Although this email of advice may almost appear like spam itself, you
will appreciate it just as much as I did when I first heard about it.
The tool is called MailWasher, is completely free and can be downloaded
at www.mailwasher.net.

Before you open your "dirty" mailbox in your Eudora or Outlook,
MailWasher will check it first and "wash out" all emails you don't want
- it will even generate an "email address unknown" response to the
original spammer that will make your email address appear invalid to
them, so they will stay away from you in the future... My spam has thus
decreased from maybe 20 a day to at most 5, wherefore I thought I'd
share my knowledge about this effective 'weapon' with you.

Since I'm at it with the advice: I also found a simple add-on for
MailWasher, which can easily configure all necessary settings - but best

of all, it offers a convenient "Auto-Receive" feature: MailWasher
requires you to disable the automatic Send/Receive function of your mail
client; and the Add-On provides a simple solution around this
inconvenience... So check it out as well at
www.impulsio.com/mwaddon/MWL/.

Hope it helps you, too!

All the Best,
Dr. Hans Igel

Subject: Photos of Russian Philosophers
Message-ID: <MON.29.JUL.2002.200358.0200.>

I am preparing a reader which presents the life and writings of the
following Russian philosophers:

Vladimir Solov’ev, Nikolaj Fedorov, Vasilij Rozanov, Nikolaj
Berdjaev,Lev Shestov, Nikolaj Losskij, Semen Frank, Sergej Bulgakov,
Pavel Florenskij, Vladimir Ern, Evgenij Trubeckoj, Gustav Shpet, Aleksej Losev.

I would like to include a picture of every philosopher; but in some
cases it is very difficult to find appropriate material.
Would anybody know where I could get such photographies?
I appreciate any hint.

Does any one have experience with or knowledge of courses offered in

Subject: Nebo dushno... (Kruchenykh/Khlebnikov)
Message-ID: <TUE.30.JUL.2002.150440.0400.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

Apologies for cross-posting

Dear list members,

A friend has set part of a Russian futurist poem to music.  The poem
runs:

Nebo dushno i pakhnet
Sizyu i vymenem
O polyubite, poshadite vy menya
Ya i tak istekayu
Soboyu i vami
Ya i tak uzh raspyat
Stepyu i ivami

Originally, it appeared that this represented the entire poem, and that
it was by Kruchenykh, appearing in the collection "Te Li Le".  However,
he has now found references on the web to dual authorship
(Khlebnikov/Kruchenykh), and it also appears that the lines may be
part of a longer poem appearing in "Pomada", the translation of which
runs as follows:

The flowing moon
Now looks out
Now hides
A quarrel -- shhh!
Lustra's tearing the
stromclouds apart
that one's dressed flowing-cloudlike
bread's out on the table
cabbage soup
They say a nude woman's
beautiful in the moonlight
The voice is deaf faces are red
Snacking mushrooms drinking
Spattering saliva scurrying
Ah where can I skedaddle to get away from you
The sky cleverly covering
with dove-blue grey rags
the whole night busy with caviar
the sky's choking and smelling of
the colour of dove and udders
O love me pity
me
Eitherway I'm bleeding
me and you
Eitherway I'm already crucified
by the steppe and the willows

Could anyone help with 1. confirming whether Kruchenykh or
Khlebnikov collaborated on the entire poem, or only on the  "nebo
dushno..." section, 2. where the Russian text of the longer poem might
be found, and 3. clarification of the order of publication in Te Li Le and
Pomada?

Many thanks in advance.  Please reply to john.croft at eidosnet.co.uk.

I'm  organizing a short Slavic film fest for next spring at the University of
New Orleans, and would like to include a wonderful, surrealistic film I saw
at Masaryk University in 2000.  It was a Czech-Slovak production, I can't
remember if it was subtitled or not, and its title translated as something
like "A short account of the end of the world."  Definitely had "the end of
the world" in it.  Director was Slovak or Yugoslav.  It started out with a
village wedding party being almost entirely devoured by wolves (and  swiftly
got even weirder).  Does this ring a bell for anyone?

Hi Leslie --

Could that be "Nejasna zprava o konci sveta" by Juraj Jakubisko? In
English that would translate as " Unclear news about the end of the
world."

Actually hit a couple Web links for it almost immediately
http://www.artfilm.sk/film2002/nejasnasprava.html.
http://www.afifest.com/fest97/films/anamb.html

In English translated as "Ambiguous Report About the End of the World."
Winner of several prizes, such as Montreal Film Festival. So must be
subtitled.

Best,
Madelaine

Mikhail Svetlov "Grenada": "Turning the imperialistic war into civil war"

In this paper we would like to discuss some aspects of literary genealogy
of Mikhail Svetlov's "Grenada".  This subject has been touched by Michael
Wachtel, Mikhail Gasparov and Mikhail Zolotonosov, however we think that
further study of the poem's metric aureole and motif structure can yield
more conclusive results.

In his article "'The Black Shawl' and its metric aureole", Michael Wachtel
showed that amphibrachic tetrameter with strictly masculine rhymes, first
introduced by Zhukovsky to translate ballades by Uhland and Goethe, had
been immediately appropriated by Pushkin; and that it was Pushkin's ballade
that has ever since dominated the aureole of the meter both thematically
and lexically.  Wachtel also demonstrated that "despite its civic pathos
Svetlov's poem is clearly linked to Pushkin's ballade."  The same
conclusion appears in Mikhail Gasparov's "Meter and meaning".

However there are some aspects that do not allow us to accept "The Black
Shawl" as the main formative influence on "Grenada".
a)      The poem contains two major divergences from the conventional
Pushkin-based plot. Unlike most of the "Black Shawl" derivatives "Grenada"
ends not with the death of the "exotic" heroine, but with the death of a
hero. And it is the hero who in a sense commits a betrayal, for in dying he
abandons both his dream and his song.  These divergences seem very
important because the semantic aureole of amphibrachic tetrameter had been
proven to be very powerful - the tradition of the "amphibrachic plot" had
even forced young Lermontov to change the fabula of Schiller's "Diver".
b)      There is also a major graphical divergence. Visually, Svetlov's
poem is organised not into amphibrachic tetrameter couplets, but into
amphibrachic dimeter double quatrains. This change in inexplicable within
the context of the poem itself, and the audience has consistently treated
"Grenada" as amphibrachic tetrameter (for example, in the "Modern Folklore
and Colloquial Music" collection "Grenada" is quoted as an example of an
amphibrachic tetrameter).
This permits us to suggest that Svetlov was also reacting to some source
other than the "Black Shawl" and its immediate derivatives - and that that
source was organised into quatrains, rather then couplets.

In his article "O huello, or the secret meaning of a regimental serenade"
Mikhail Zolotonosov claimed that the "matrix" of Svetlov's poem was the
cheerfully homosexual "Song of law students" and that "Grenada" was build
on a cyphered opposition of vulva and anus. Leaving aside some interesting
erotic associations found by Zolotonosov, we'd like to say that it is
highly unlikely that in 1926 Svetlov was familiar with the "Song of law
students".

However, looking for the secondary source in popular, rather than high
culture seemed a fruitful idea. In a soldier's songbook of a WW1 soldier
Maxim Kruglov we found a song beginning "Proshchaite, rodnyje, proshchaite,
druzja, proshchai, dorogaja nevesta moja." Such closeness cannot be a
coincidence.

We are going to discuss possible relationship between Svetlov's "Grenada"
and this new source.  We shall try to demonstrate that Svetlov's reliance
on the Pushkin's motifs noted by Wachtel stems to a large extent from his
attempt to overcome the unideological irony of the "soldier's song" and to
"turn Imperialistic war into the Civil war".   In doing so Svetlov both
relied on and once again reaffirmed the romantic aureole of the meter.
