Dear Colleagues,

It is my sad task to inform you that Academician Lidiia Dmitrievna 
Gromova-Opul'skaia passed away on December 31, 2003. Born on May 21, 
1925 in a village near Moscow, the daughter of a village school teacher, 
Lidiia Dmitrievna was the greatest Tolstoy scholar of her generation and 
an extraordinary good will ambassador to scholars around the world. She 
prepared 10 volumes of the great Jubilee Edition of Tolstoy’s works and 
wrote extensive commentaries on the preparation of texts and the 
creative histories of various works included in the Jubilee. When N. N. 
Gusev passed away, Lidiia Dmitrievna continued his biography of Tolstoy, 
publishing 2 volumes that brought it up to 1899. Lidiia Dmitrievna also 
worked on many individual books related to Tolstoy studies. These 
include volumes of letters and memoirs as well as volumes of 
Literaturnye pamiatniki editions of Tolstoy’s works. She championed and 
in the past few years she has headed a new 120 volume Academy edition, 
of which 6 volumes have been published already and many more are underway.

In addition to her work on Tolstoy, Lidiia Dmitrievna prepared volumes 6 
and 7 of the Academy edition of Dostoevsky, and several volumes of the 
Academy edition of Chekhov. She is the author of over 100 articles on 
Tolstoy, Chekhov, Herzen, among others.

A Panikhida will be held for Lidiia Dmitrievna in January 6 at IMLI in 
Moscow. /Tolstoy Studies Journal/ will be dedicating the 2004 issue of 
the journal to Lidiia Dmitrievna, and we will be honoring her in other 
ways as well.

Sincerely,
Donna Orwin, Editor
/Tolstoy Studies Journal/

Hello SEELANGers, 

I would like your help compiling a list of Slavic and East European literature
and film featuring things coming to life. “Coming to life” is understood
broadly – any exhibition of volition, independence, or sentience, whether it is
“real” or just in someone’s imagination. My list so far consists almost
entirely of body parts, which count, I suppose, as things: Gogol’ (The Nose),
Olesha (Envy), Gombrowicz (Ferdydurke), Aleshkovsky (Kangaroo), and one
borderline case – the film Brilliantovaia ruka. 

If any of you have something to add to the list, please email me off-line. I
will compile answers and send the result to the group. Thank you!

Happy New Year to all (and enjoy the snow, if applicable), 

Annie Fisher

>From that web page you have access to a collection of texts in six Slavic languages
(the same texts for all languages) which you can listen to in streaming audio while at
the same time reading a bilingual text, e.g. if you listen to the Parable of the Good

Subject: Summer Language Courses at ASU (Albanian, Armenian, BCS,
 Macedonian, Polish, Tatar)
Message-ID: <MON.5.JAN.2004.101056.0700.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

Dear discussion group members:

Drawing upon the interest of this discussion group in our target languages, we 
are taking the liberty to inform you about the special language learning 
opportunities for you and your students offered in the summer of 2004 by the 
Arizona State University Critical Languages Institute (CLI). The CLI 
(http://www.asu.edu/cli) offers annual summer language courses for less-
commonly taught languages, follow-up three-week immersion practicums at our 
affiliated institutions in the target countries, and a semester or annual study 
abroad program at our partner universities.

This summer we will offer introductory and intermediate Bosnia
{c/n}/Croatian/Serbian and Armeinan as well as introductory Albanian, 
Macedonian, Polish, and Tatar at the Arizona State University main campus 
(Tempe, AZ), from June 1 to July 31, 2004, with summer practicums in August and 
study abroad opportunities in the academic year 2004/5.

In the summer of 2005, we plan to add Uzbek to the CLI language offerings.

CLI eight-credit-hour intensive courses come with a generous tuition waiver 
which generates more than a thousand dollars in savings for each enrolling CLI 
student. CLI students pay only a modest $300 application fee. Both the length 
and content of our courses enable FLAS, Fulbright, and other fellowships 
support funds to be used by graduate students pursuing summer language training 
in the CLI. A limited number of fellowships are available for Armenian and 
Tatar. We have simplified the CLI application procedures. Just go to 
http://www.asu.edu/clas/reesc/cli/onreg.htm and register.

As a regular feature of its summer session, the CLI also features topical 
workshops and one-on-one tutorials for those preparing grant proposals for 
study and research abroad.  For dozens of CLI graduates, these tutorials have 
yielded remarkable success in NSEP, Fulbright, Marshall, and other fellowship 
competitions. Other CLI graduates have now joined the U.S. Foreign Service or 
have taken international positions with major corporations.

The following features make CLI summer programming competitive with the finest 
national centers offering intensive summer language institutes:

a.	Sound methodological background
b.	Utilization of the state-of-the art instructional technology
c.	Highly qualified language personnel
d.	Rich cultural content
e.	Rigorous and comprehensive oversight and quality control
f.	Strong ties with institutions in target countries

We have been using the Interagency Linguistic Roundtable scale with our 
introductory courses bringing CLI participants to level 1+ in reading with 
other skills remaining between 1 and 1+ and our intermediate courses reaching 
level 2 in reading with other skills remaining between 1+ and 2. 

Our Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian course features a strong on-line component 
(http://www.public.asu.edu/~dsipka/syl1.htm), and its entirely on-line version 
will be made available to our students as a refresher intended to alleviate the 
problem of retention in the period between the introductory and the 
intermediate course. A sample lesson one can be perused at: 
http://www.asu.edu/clas/reesc/scr101, using the password ‘scr1’. The full 
course is available at http://cli.la.asu.edu/scr101 - student’s social security 
number is required to log in. All CLI courses will follow suit shortly and we 
will keep adding new hybrid components for our courses through our server 
services page: http://cli.la.asu.edu. 

CLI faculty are drawn from highly qualified linguists with years of teaching 
experience and a strong record of publications in the field (see 
http://www.public.asu.edu/~dsipka as an example). Short information about our 
instructors and their syllabi are available at: 
http://www.asu.edu/clas/reesc/cli/ltrain.htm.

In addition to the cultural content (complementing traditional grammar, 
vocabulary, communicative skills, and linguistic norms) of CLI courses, CLI 
summer sessions include the annual lecture series, movie showings, and social 
events rich in cultural content. Take a look at some pictures of our classes 
and social events (visiting ethnic restaurants) at: 
http://www.public.asu.edu/~dsipka/sylpct.htm.

Finally, we have established partnerships with key institutions in target 
countries securing the most favorable summer practicum and study abroad 
arrangements for our students.

If you have any further questions about our courses, please do not hesitate to 
contact us at cli at asu.edu or by phone at 480-965-7706.

ACTR Announces Major New Fellowship Opportunity for Advanced-Level
Speakers of Russian

ACTR is pleased to announce the National Flagship Initiative for
Russian, which will support an entirely new program for American
students of Russian who wish to attain "superior" or "distinguished"
(ILR 3, 3+, 4) proficiency in the language.  The program is open to
undergraduate and graduate students in any academic or professional
field who have already achieved the "advanced-level" in speaking and
reading.   Heritage speakers are welcome to apply.  Admissions to this
ACTR program is competitive and requires recent proof of mandatory
minimal proficiency levels in Russian.

The Russian Flagship Program will be hosted by St. Petersburg State
University and will be one academic year in duration.  The program
includes formal coursework in discourse development, individualized
tutorials, and extensive opportunities for professionally-focused
language development and language utilization through regular university
courses, internships, peer tutors, and host families representing some
aspect of the candidate's field of interest.

Full fellowships for U.S. citizens who are planning a career in
government service are available from the National Security Education
Program (NSEP).  Candidates interested in NSEP funding must submit
separate applications to NSEP (due January 30, 2004).  Recipients of
NSEP funding are subject to a federal service obligation.

APPLICATION DEADLINES:

National Education Security Project (for federal funding): January 30,
2004

Unfortunately a virus has been passed to me through an address book
virus which also infected my address book. Since you are in my address
book, you will probably find it in your computer too. The virus (called
jdbg.exe) is not detected by Norton or MacAfee anti-virus systems. The
virus sits quietly for 14 days before damaging the system. It is sent
automatically by messenger and by address book, whether or not you sent
e-mail to your contacts. Basically that means you will pass the virus along
unknowingly, as I did. I was sent this e-mail, and I am now passing it on
so you know how to check for the virus and how to get rid of it.

Please do this; it is very simple and takes about 2 min.

1. go to start, then click your (find) or (search) option
2. in the folder option, type the name: jdbgmgr.exe
3. be sure to search your c. drive and all sub folders
and any other drives you may have
4. click (find now)
5. the virus has a teddy bear icon with the name:
jdbgmgr.exe DO NOT OPEN IT!

6. go to (edit) on menu bar and choose (select all) to highlight the
file without opening it
7. now go to file (on the menu bar) and select
delete. it will then go to the recycle bin. if you find the virus you
must contact all the people in your address book so that they may
eradicate the virus from their own address books.

To do this:
1. open a new email message
2. click the address book icon or button
3. highlight every name and add to "bcc"
4. copy this message and paste to email.

This will affect everyone in your address book so send it now. Sorry  
about this!

These things never really die.  The important thing to take away from
this is, even if the various anti-virus programs are temporarily
incapable of detecting a virus, any virus of any consequence will
*always* be posted to symantec.com and the virus sites of other major
anti-virus software companies.  Before forwarding a warning about a
virus, you should *always* check those databases first (or at least
google the name of the virus) to see whether it is genuine or a hoax.

If people would do this with viruses and check Snopes for urban
legends, a lot of nonsense that circulates on the Net would die a
quick and well-deserved death.  Instead, people flood others' inboxes
with info they haven't even fact checked.

Bakhtin.

With the new year under way, we would like to take this opportunity to

topic is Socialist Realism. We welcome graduate-student papers
investigating any aspect of the topic in relation to Slavic verbal,
visual, aural, or performative culture. The deadline for submissions is
MARCH 1, 2004. Detailed submission and formatting guidelines can be
found at  http://www.pitt.edu/~slavic/sisc/rules.html . Queries about

Debugger Registrar for Java. It can be infected by a virus, but is not a virus 
itself. So don't delete the file!

For further information see:

The fact that this is a hoax notwithstanding, one quick point to be
made--Harlow Robinson did NOT initally send this message to the SEELANGS
listserv, but rather to people in his address book (I was one of those
recipients).  Somehow, the responses seem to have made their way on to
SEELANGS, where it's taken on a life of its own.  On the other hand, maybe
it's useful to be reminded that these hoaxes are still out their in
cyberworld.

These things never really die.  The important thing to take away from
this is, even if the various anti-virus programs are temporarily
incapable of detecting a virus, any virus of any consequence will
*always* be posted to symantec.com and the virus sites of other major
anti-virus software companies.  Before forwarding a warning about a
virus, you should *always* check those databases first (or at least
google the name of the virus) to see whether it is genuine or a hoax.

If people would do this with viruses and check Snopes for urban
legends, a lot of nonsense that circulates on the Net would die a
quick and well-deserved death.  Instead, people flood others' inboxes
with info they haven't even fact checked.

Subject: Online Survey -- 20th-Century Russian Literature reading lists
Message-ID: <TUE.6.JAN.2004.165222.0600.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

Greetings.

I am researching the reading patterns for twentieth-century Russian/Soviet
literature in introductory-level courses at North American colleges and
universities.  I have sent survey materials to more than 200 institutions,
but there are a number of programs which have been missed because I was
working from a 2002 listing that included only institutions with official
Russian majors.  My own program, for example, was not listed because the
Russian major at Binghamton University is an individually tailored major
and does not appear on the "official" listing of majors..

If your program did not receive the survey materials, please contact me
off-list, and I will be glad to send them to you so that you can
participate.  To find out more about the survey details and procedures, or
to link to the online fillable survey form, please go to:
http://bingweb.binghamton.edu/~djloewen/20th.html

To make sure that your response does not duplicate information already
received, you can see which institutions have already responded to the
survey here:  http://bingweb.binghamton.edu/~djloewen/Survey%20Respondents.htm
(Note: some of the institutions listed were unable to provide complete
information due to incomplete data.  If you think that you may be able to
fill some of the gaps, please contact me off-list.)

Attention retired and emeritus professors:  one of the survey goals is to
study changes in reading patterns over time.  To do that, I have
established a ten year sample interval, beginning in 1982, continuing with
1992, and concluding with 2002.  Many institutions were unable to provide
data from 1982 or 1992, so if you have copies of your syllabi from those
years, your response will be very helpful.  Please e-mail me off-list if
you have any questions, and feel free to visit the above links to read more
about the survey or to see which institutions have responded.  (NOTE: the
listing includes every institution that responded; many were able to
provide only partial data, and some had no data available.   If you are not
sure whether your response is needed, please check with me off-list.)

Please do not use the Reply button, but contact me directly for additional
information or clarification:  djloewen at binghamton.edu

Message-ID: <WED.7.JAN.2004.002740.0500.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

Dear Colleagues:

I am organizing a roundtable on "New Directions in Slavic Sociolinguistics" at
AAASS in Boston, Dec. 4-7, 2004, and am looking for two to three additional
participants. Presentations for this roundtable should discuss research which
applies recent innovations in sociolinguistic theory and methodology in the
study of language variation and change in the Slavic-speaking world. Of
particular interest are presentations relating to the following areas:
variationist approaches to social dialectology; socio-historical linguistics;
gender linguistics; sociopragmatics; ethnography of communication; social
psychology of language; folklinguistics and perceptual dialectology; language
ideology; and applications of sociolinguistic research in foreign language
pedagogy. Presentations discussing the use of new theoretical frameworks and
methodologies in the study of more traditional topics in Slavic
sociolinguistics (language planning and policy, bilingualism and language
contact), and those addressing metatheoretical issues, such as the relevance of
western sociolinguistic models to (post-)socialist societies in eastern Europe
and Eurasia, are also welcome.
     If you are interested in participating in the roundtable, please e-mail me
a brief summary of the topic of your proposed presentation, together with the
information requested on the CV form on the AAASS website (http://
www.fas.harvard.edu/~aaass/), by January 14th.

Dear Curt,

        I am very interested in your Roundtable, but am not sure if my work is
"innovative" enough. I am working on two things which may be of
relevance:
1, Socio-linguistic issues in language pedagogy (I have submitted an
article to Canadian Slavonic Papers on this topic and would be happy to
send you
a copy), or 2. Language planning and policy and its implications for
language and identity cohesion in the Macedonian village of Vrbnik in
Southern Albania.
My field research suggested that identity in Vrbnik was transitional
between religion (tying Catholic Albanian with Orthodox Macedonian) and
village-based
language identity. Field notes point to strong village-based linguistic
identity, though recognizing connections to the standard. The people in
Vrbnik viewed neighbouring villages as not speaking "nashi", though
they watched Macedonian television from the Republic, traveled to

I would be more than happy to discuss either of these two things.

Please let me know if you are interested in either. I plan to be in
Boston regardless, since I am chairing another panel, so I won't be
insulted if you have
already filled the roundtable.

All the best,

Christina

Subject: "Alferov tea party" and Pushkin's Secret Journal
Message-ID: <WED.7.JAN.2004.100644.0600.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

Noble Prise Winner in Physics Dr. Alferov has been arranging informal
tea parties in St. Petersburg to exchange views and opinions on most
important matters in science, technology, culture etc. These parties
are about twice a year and most prominent people are invited there.
The recent one was on December 23 in the House of Scientists in St.
Petersburg (ancient palace from tzars times). This tea party was
attended by famous scientists, businessmen, diplomats. Mr. Morris
Hughes, US council in St. Petersburg was there as well.
Among presentations on different subjects there was one made by a
"Russian Literature Boss" Dr. Nikolai Skatov, the member of Russian
Academy of Sciences, the Director of Pushkin's House. His
presentation was devoted to Pushkin's Secret Journal 1836-1837
published now in 23 countries. He was attempting to prove that it was
not written by Pushkin but it was a talented forgery made by American
publisher Mikhail Armalinsky.
Articles about this "Alferov tea party" have appeared in Izvestia,
Komsomolskaya Pravda and other major Russian periodicals.
It is very peculiar how much importance is justifiably given to the
Secret Journal in Russia.

tatiana!

i am experimenting with some techniques to familiarize american,
non-heritage, learners with difficult concepts in russian.  the basic goal
is to move college to a 1+ or 2 level in critical skills very quickly.

i might have some interesting experimental results to show by the fall, but
the course will not take place until this coming, spring 2004, semester.

i might also fall flat on my face.

please keep me in mind.

 Anreev & Blok
Message-ID: <THU.8.JAN.2004.182500.0000.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

Dear Seelangers,





I am a Ph.D student at Keele University researching the theme of prostitution in Russian literature in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.  At the moment I am concentrating on authors such as Chernyshevsky, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Garshin, Chekhov, Andreev, Blok and Kuprin.  I have done a lot of background work on prostitution as a social phenomenon and on the authors mentioned above in general, but have unfortunately found few sources that go into depth about any author’s depictions of, interest in, or concerns about prostitution.



I was wondering if anyone out there knows of any such reference in connection with any of the above authors, but particularly with Kuprin, whose novel ‘Yama’ was clearly a major contribution to the theme, though relatively little seems to have been written about the man or the book.  I’m also especially interested in information about Andreev and Blok, including advice about which of their works are most relevant to the theme, any instances where their depictions of prostitution have been discussed in criticism and any documenting of their personal position on the issue.



Further to this I am still searching for a literary depiction of prostitution from a less well-known author, perhaps written from the female perspective or even by a practicing or reformed prostitute, as I believe this could shed new light on my research.



I would be extremely grateful for any assistance offered.



Thank you in advance.



Sarah Barber

Dear Ms. Barber:

Prostitution in Andreev's works can be found in V Tumane and a reference
is made in Bezdna.  The only place where such a topic has been addressed
critically (that I know of) is in "Belles-lettres with a Touch of Filth:
On the Contemporary Reception of Leonid Andreev's Stories, The Abyss and
In the Fog--P.U. Møller."  This article is found in the following
collection:

Gender in Russian History and Culture   
Edited by Linda Edmondson  
Series: Studies in Russian & Eastern European History  
ISBN: 0-333-72078-4

I do not think there is any other scholarship that deals with Andreev
and prostitution.  I also cannot think of any references in his personal
life (in letters to friends or in his published diaries).

Best of luck.  Please keep me posted on what you find.

Cheers,

Subject: [SEELANGS] Prostitution in 19th & 20th century literature, esp.
Kuprin, Anreev & Blok

Dear Seelangers,





I am a Ph.D student at Keele University researching the theme of
prostitution in Russian literature in the nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries.  At the moment I am concentrating on authors such as
Chernyshevsky, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Garshin, Chekhov, Andreev, Blok and
Kuprin.  I have done a lot of background work on prostitution as a
social phenomenon and on the authors mentioned above in general, but
have unfortunately found few sources that go into depth about any
author’s depictions of, interest in, or concerns about prostitution.



I was wondering if anyone out there knows of any such reference in
connection with any of the above authors, but particularly with Kuprin,
whose novel ‘Yama’ was clearly a major contribution to the theme, though
relatively little seems to have been written about the man or the book.
I’m also especially interested in information about Andreev and Blok,
including advice about which of their works are most relevant to the
theme, any instances where their depictions of prostitution have been
discussed in criticism and any documenting of their personal position on
the issue.



Further to this I am still searching for a literary depiction of
prostitution from a less well-known author, perhaps written from the
female perspective or even by a practicing or reformed prostitute, as I
believe this could shed new light on my research.




I would be extremely grateful for any assistance offered.



Thank you in advance.



Sarah Barber

Dear Anne,

If you could send me a copy that would be wonderful.  So far I've not found much on Tolstoy and prostitution except for allusions next to missing sections in his diaries.

Thank you very much for your help.

Subject: AAASS Round Table on Syllabus Design
Message-ID: <MON.12.JAN.2004.101202.0500.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

Dear Colleagues,

I am putting together a round table for AAASS next year (under the auspices of
the AAASS Committee on Education) on course syllabus development.  The round
table will be geared toward a graduate student audience, and its objective will
be to discuss and provide examples of effective course / syllabus design for
various disciplines within Slavic studies. 

Ideally, I'd like to have mostly advanced graduate student teachers on the round
table, but the round table is open to all those with ideas about course and
syllabus design that they'd like to share.

I already have participants from literature and language lined up, but I'm still
looking for participants from other fields (history, women's studies,
sociology, political science, etc.).  That being the case, Seelangs may not be
the best place to post this announcement, but I'm hoping that some of you may
be able to refer me to colleagues in other disciplines or be willing to
cross-post this to another list?

So, if you have an approach and a sample syllabus that you'd like to share
with peers and others just beginning their graduate student teaching
experience - or know someone in another discipline who does - please let me know
off-list (within the next few days!).

Thank you!

Margarita Nafpaktitis

Though you are addressing other fields' representatives, I am very
interested in participating in your round table. I designed a new course
for our graduate students "Aspects of Russian Grammar and Teaching
Methodologies". This is a required course that combines classic Russian
linguistics with its applied description. I've been teaching it since last
year, but it's still required some development, for example a strong
multimedia component. Please let me know if this topic seems to be
interesting to you.
My best,

Subject: classroom hours survey
Message-ID: <WED.14.JAN.2004.134856.0600.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

Dear SEELANGers:

Thanks to colleagues for providing information about the hours in their
Russian programs.  I now have over 40 responses.  Here are the results:

The average first year Russian class meets 4.48 hours per week 30 weeks
per year.
The average second year Russian class meets 4.13 hours per week 30
weeks per year.
The average third year Russian class meets 3.1 hours per week 30 weeks
per year.
The average fourth year Russian class meets 2.45 hours per week 30
weeks per year.

The average 4-year Russian college curriculum, based on the sample of
responses to my query on SEELANGs, offers 424.78 hours of classroom
instruction.  (These results are similar to those found in a survey of
language programs in more commonly taught languages, which showed
421.74 total hours of instruction in a four-year college curriculum.)

Notes:

(1) Most schools have three 10-week quarters or two 15-week semesters.
For data from institutions with quarters or semesters of different
durations, I took the total number of classroom hours per quarter or
per semester and divided it by 10 weeks per quarter or 15 weeks per
semester.  Thus, if a school reported 8 hours of class per week for
12-week semesters in first-year Russian, that would be a total of 96
class hours; this would be 6.4 hours per week in a 15-week semester.
This way, data from different academic institutions could be compiled
together to give an accurate picture of the total number of hours
students are in class.

(2) The hours for fourth-year Russian are lower because many
institutions reported that they had no fourth-year Russian class at all
or only one semester of a fourth-year course.

(3) At my presentation at the AATSEEL Conference in San Diego last
month, I presented data showing that students needed over 700 hours of
classroom instruction to attain advanced-level proficiencies in a
language like Russian.  This is consistent with research at the US
Department of State Foreign Service Institute.

I hope that this information is helpful.

Sincerely,

BR

Dear colleagues,

Some of you may have received, as I have, information about a program to
be conducted in Moscow in August 2004 called `The Summer Institute of
Russian Culture', sponsored by the `Moscow Academic of Russian Culture'. I
have been in contact with the organizers, and as the result of externally
sponsored support, they have substantially reduced the participation fees.
I personally have no connection with this program, but they asked me to
bring the program, and its more favorable conditions, to the attention of
the SEELANGS community. Since I think many members would be interested in
further information, I am taking the liberty of doing so. I was sent brief
announcements as attachments, but don't see how to send them through
SEELANGS, so I give you the websites:

English: http://www.marc.ru/2_en.html
Russian: http://www.marc.ru/2.html

Please direct any inquiries NOT to me, but to:

I have deleted the original message, but there 
wan an obvious typo in the URL - an "m" which 
should be an "n", as far as I remember. The URL 
with the misprint produced a slightly more poetic 
version of the message "404 - Page not found."

Subject: corrected hours survey
Message-ID: <THU.15.JAN.2004.084200.0600.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

Dear SEELANGers:

I'm very sorry:  I made an egregious error in the last line of the
total college classroom hours.  Here is the correct set of data.

(post-secondary currriculum)

first-year Russian classes:  average 4.67 hours per week
second-year:  average 4.04 hours per week
third-year:  average 3.08 hours per week
fourth-year:  average 2.23 hours per week

total hours for college-level 4-year curriculum in Russian:  on average
416.05 classroom hours over four years

Sincerely,

BR

Hey, Ben,

Should have written you earlier, but here are Georgia Tech's numbers
(which sink your revised average even further).  2 fifteen-week
semesters.  1st year -- 3 hrs. 2nd year 3 hrs.  No third or fourth year.


I am not sure about your methodology.  Is it really fair or telling, for
instance, for our lack of a third-year course to enter a zero into the
average number of course hours per week for third year courses?  The
information about average total number of hours in the program is
definitely useful though.  Maybe you should use the data to calculate
average total number of course hours and then separate out the ones that
actually teach to give an average number of hours that a course is
taught if offered (or at least give this info in addition).

An update on Sonya's language:  She's now deep into the 2-5 stage that
Chukovskii writes about so beautifully.  Here are some of her latest
gems:  I ask if I should press down a lump of playdough -- Net, ty ne
davi, uzhe davitaia.  Bright berries on the street are called
BOFiny-VAFiny.  And the kicker -- Ia khochu "Moego Dodyra" !!!

Best,
Stuart

University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana from 28 June-2 July (Mon.-Fri.),
8:30 a.m. - 10:30 a.m.

the discussion of works-in-progress.  The group is an interdisciplinary one
and welcomes presentations from all fields, including literature, fine arts,
film studies, sociology, psychology, history, political science, economics,
and others. This year the workshop organizers request that participants
submit their presentations (or robust drafts thereof) in advance to
facilitate group discussion; each participant will make a 10-15-minute
presentation, followed by a half-hour of discussion.

We would also like to encourage participants from (as well as participation
in!) in the first annual AWSS conference, which will take place at UIUC just
before the Workshop, on June 25-26.

Participants are encouraged to apply to the Summer Research Lab for free
university housing, which may be extended beyond the Workshop dates. (For
further information on housing allowances and the Summer Research Lab, see:
www.reec.uiuc.edu/srl.htm.) Participants will have afternoons free to
conduct research in the largest Slavic library west of Washington, D.C.

Subject: Can _eve_ take a _-te_ suffix in Macedonian?
Message-ID: <FRI.16.JAN.2004.052249.0800.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

Dear colleagues,

I'm wondering if _eve_ (a verb-like presentative element that is often
translated into English as 'here!" or 'here you go!' or 'here you are!') can
take the plural suffix _-te_ (as in Russian _na_ to address a single,
familiar person vs. _nate_ to address a strange or more than one person).
For example, I know that one can say _Eve ti ja_ (here! AgrIO.2sg
AgrDO.3sg.f). Is it possible to say something like _Evete ti ja_?

Best, --Loren

Dear colleagues,

I am trying to organize a workshop / discussion group on Soviet and
post-Soviet Cultural studies during the Research Laboratory at the
University of Illinois, Champagne-Urbana, June 21 - 22.

As the name suggests, the discussion group is open to all aspects of
Soviet and post-Soviet cultural phenomena -- both high and low --
including (and most certainly not limited to) the performing arts,
music, cinema, media, emigration studies, pedagogical approaches to
cultural studies, etc.

If you plan on attending the Research Lab and would like to present a
paper (or participate in the discussion), please let me know by March
15: olgames at iastate.edu

More information on the Research Laboratory:

I look forward to an exciting discussion group!

BTW, her invitation was issued by a university.

The visa application is one and the same on the consulate side - the form
accommodates references to the host organization (in the case of business or
student visas) and to tourist companies (the reference number).

The overwhelming response to my question regarding the appropriate visa

My most grateful thanks to everyone (including a number of study abroad

Dear Colleagues,

Thanks to Christina Kramer (who wrote to me off-list) and Nina Olkova (whose
reply appears below. From Nina's example (translated as 'Here is the address
(for you-PL)'), even if the addressee is plural, there is no /-te/ added to
/eve/. Christina further clarifies the issue: "no evete."

Thanks to both of my respondents. In order not to cause unnecessary
responses, I have posted this briefest of summaries.  --Loren

(Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium. September 17-19, 2004.)


First Call for Papers (Please forward)

The Department of Slavic and Oriental Studies at the Katholieke Universiteit
Leuven, Belgium, is pleased to announce the First International
"Perspectives On Slavistics" Conference. The conference will take place on
the Faculty of Arts campus in Leuven, Belgium, September 17-19, 2004.

The goals of the conference are to encourage the study of Slavic languages
and literatures and to establish connections among (young) scholars working
in these areas. There will be two parallel colloquia, one focusing on
literature, the other reserved for linguistics. The linguistics colloquium
will have the honour to host the 2004 Slavic Cognitive Linguistics
Conference (SCLA). This way we can bring together cognitive linguists and
linguists working in other frameworks, and offer a forum for collaboration
and discussion on current developments in Slavic Linguistics. A selection of
the papers from both the linguistics and literatures conferences will be
published as special volumes of the Belgian journal for Slavicists Slavica
Gandensia. Confirmed keynote speakers include Tore Nesset from Tromso
University in Norway, Elzbieta Tabakowska and Aleksander Fiut from the
Jagiellonian University in Krakуw, Laura Janda from the University of North
Carolina at Chapell Hill and Elwira Grossman from the University of Glasgow.
David Danaher from the University of Wisconsin-Madison has been asked to
provide a lecture that links the linguistics and the literature sections.

Submissions from any (young) scholar working on Slavic languages or
literatures are welcomed, including those in Slavic departments, as well as
in specialized linguistics or literature departments. Papers and posters
will be considered on topics relating to the diachronic or synchronic study
of Slavic languages and literatures from any theoretical perspective. Each
paper will be allowed thirty minutes (including 10 minutes for discussion).
The deadline for submissions is March 15 2004. All submissions should follow
the abstract specifications (see below).

Presentations and posters should be in English in order to open the
conference up to researchers working on non-Slavic languages and
literatures. We strongly encourage the use of modern presentation software,
e.g. Powerpoint. The goal of this is to enhance the effectiveness of the
presentation and to facilitate discussion afterwards. Laptops and beamers
will be provided.

The participation fee will be 50 euros (25 for graduate students and passive
participants), to be paid in advance. Detailed information on payment
options & deadlines and hotel accommodation will be provided by April 2004 .
The participation fee covers the abstract booklet, other conference
materials, refreshments and snacks. A limited number of participants from
economically disadvantaged countries may be allowed free participation upon
application. Please include a motivated application for free participation
when sending in your abstract. In assigning waivers priority will be given
to graduate students and non-tenured scholars.

For details or questions concerning the linguistics section, please contact
Dagmar Divjak (dagmar.divjak at arts.kuleuven.ac.be). If your questions relate
to the literature session, contact Kris Van Heuckelom
(kris.vanheuckelom at arts.kuleuven.ac.be).
http://millennium.arts.kuleuven.ac.be/slavic/cnference

Abstract Specifications

Please submit a one-page abstract (max. 500 words) in English, with an
additional page for tables, graphs and references, if necessary. Note that
footnotes are not permitted. Make sure to use the international
transcription in case you work on languages with a Cyrillic alphabet. Gloss
and translate all examples. An abstract should briefly present a hypothesis
and outline the author's plan for defending that hypothesis, i.e. it should
specify research question(s), an approach/method to the data, and (expected)
results. The abstract should be anonymous: each proposal will be reviewed by
three members of an international panel.

We strongly encourage electronic submissions.
The body of your email message should contain the following information:
- author name(s)
- affiliation(s)
- full mailing address
- telephone number
- fax number
- email address
- title of the presentation
- (three or four) keywords
- presenter(s) name (person/s who will be making the presentation)

Please, send title and abstract in an attached file (MS Word). Submit your
linguistics proposal to dagmar.divjak at arts.kuleuven.ac.be and your
literature abstract to kris.vanheuckelom at arts.kuleuven.ac.be by March 15th.

Should you be unable to submit your abstract electronically, send 3
anonymous copies of your abstract, accompanied by 1 copy with the rest of
the information (name, affiliation, address, etc.) to the following address:

Dear Colleagues,

I have an undergraduate student here (in Italy) who is wondering about 
the possibility of taking a summer course in Russian literature or 
culture in the United States. She is not interested in language study 
per se, but in a way to spend some time in the US, working 
simultaneously on her already good English and her knowledge of Russian 
literature or culture. I would appreciate any information about 
institutions where such courses might be offered and also whether or not 
they would be available to a short-term foreign student. Please respond 
off-line.

Thank you for your help,
Sara Dickinson

I was asked (with short notice) to speak on a panel entitled: The future
of computer-assisted language learning.  This is not really my area of
specialty, so I would like to ask for your help.  I simply need to make
a 5 minute presentation on what is being done in Russian in this area
and what our language lab may want to consider doing in the future.
Could anyone please give me a short description of what your university
is doing, what works, what does not and possibly advise me on some of
the technical requirements?  Please refer off-line to fwhite at mun.ca

Cheers,

Subject: Study Russian in Russia (Siberia!!!)
Message-ID: <TUE.20.JAN.2004.173652.0600.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

Dear Colleagues,

The International Language School COSMOPOLITAN, Novosibirsk, Russia, is pleased to announce that we are now accepting applications for the following programs of Russian studies in Russia:

- SUMMER RUSSIAN COURSES in Novosibirsk;

- RUSSIAN COURSES in Novosibirsk throughout the school year 2004/2005 (any duration from a few days up to the academic year)

- 'LINKING THE PLANET' International Summer Language School

We will very much appreciate it if you could forward the information on our programs in Siberia, Russia, to people who might be interested, and also include it in your newsletters/listings/web site.

We provide Russian courses for international students of all ages and levels of Russian. We believe that the individual communicative approach and complete language and cultural immersion, that we apply in our school, are the most effective methods of language learning and expanding your knowledge of the local culture. Everyone can expect a warm and friendly atmosphere along with professional service. Our goal is that all our students have the most enjoyable and worthwhile experience possible during their stay with us. We offer GENERAL RUSSIAN LANGUAGE COURSES, INTENSIVE RUSSIAN COURSES, BUSINESS RUSSIAN COURSES, EXAM PREPARATION RUSSIAN COURSE. Other courses on Russian Culture, Literature, History, Politics, Economy, Professional Development, etc., are available on request. You might also want to take a combination of coures. We are very flexible and apply an individual approach to every student, so we can definitely offer a course, which interests YOU and meets YOUR needs, expectations and budgets.

Our programs are aimed at achieving practical fluency and confidence in the use of the Russian language with the focus on the integration of all the four language learning components and skills (speaking, listening, reading and writing) and the emphasis on communication. Peculiarity of our courses consists in combination of individual intensive tuition and extensive social and cultural programs. We also believe that for a program of language tuition to be successful, you must live the language you are learning, and complete isolation from your own language is the only sure way to rapid progress. We suggest you get immersed in the Russian language 24 hours a day, and live with a hospitable Russian family, who will provide you with a room and board, and will also participate in your learning process through discussion sessions that are scheduled within your homestay. In addition to learning the Russian language, the cultural program of the school is an extraodinarily enriching and rewarding experience. Our program coordinator works individually with each student to organize various after-class activities and provide extensive weekend leisure options for the students. 

Novosibirsk is the third largest city of Russia (after Moscow and St.Petersburg) and the chief city of Siberia. Being the cultural, scientific and educational center of Siberia, surrounded by picturesque wooded and field areas, Novosibirsk is the best place for learning the Russian culture focusing on the importance of complete linguistic and cultural immersion, and provides incredible opportunities for experiencing the hospitality and cordiality Siberians are famed for.



- 'LINKING THE PLANET' International Summer Language School

This is an educational multi-cultural program that our International Language School "Cosmopolitan" runs during the summer '2004 in a picturesque wooded area outside of the city of Novosibirsk, Siberia, Russia, in four consecutive two-week sessions, with participation of volunteer teachers and international students from around the globe.

The program is a great chance for international participants to learn the Russian language and get a first-hand experience of the Russian culture and society. It provides the unique cultural opportunity of daily interaction with the Russian children, youth and adults. The RUSSIAN COURSE is organized for volunteer teachers and overseas students and includes language studies as well as learning about the Russian culture, history and society. The cultural and social program of the school is an extraodinarily enriching and rewarding experience.

At the same time, the program is also a wonderful opportunity to meet colleagues from other countries, share your knowledge and culture, and have a very worthwhile experience leading to a greater international understanding through this cross-cultural interaction. For the past few years volunteer teachers from Argentina, Australia, Canada, China, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Holland, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Malaysia, Singapore, Switzerland, the United States of America, as well as university students and school children from the USA, Great Britain and Germany have participated in our summer language school programs.

You can apply as either a VOLUNTEER TEACHER or an international VOLUNTEER COUNSELOR or as an INTERNATIONAL STUDENT.

* Have you always wanted to add some meaning to an overseas adventure?

* Do you want a new, challenging experience?

* Are you willing to gain experience, improve communication abilities, and develop skills that will help in your future employment?

* Have you ever daydreamed about gaining insight into the Russian culture and life in a way no traveler could?

If 'yes' is the answer, join our program - you still have a chance!



If interested in attending or obtaining more information about these programs please email cosmopolitan at online.nsk.su

We look forward to hearing from you and remain hopeful that we could establish a worthwhile co-operation.

Regards,

Natasha Bodrova,

Director of International Language School "Cosmopolitan",

Novosibirsk, Russia

Hello, all.

The message below is being circulated by the Grozny office of Memorial, the human rights organization in Russia. Although it says that the "action" will be coming to an end at the end of the month, the library at Chechen State University (referred to here as Grozny University) will be in need of books for a long time to come. (I was there last October, and the library is essentially a reading room about the size of a two-car garage with books spread out among storage rooms on the grounds of a former state orphanage, now the main campus. The university was destroyed during the first war, along with the city's archives.) In short, they need everything. The library has about one textbook for every three students; many are old, Soviet-era books grounded in Marxism-Leninism. In addition to Russian-language titles, the university needs books in foreign languages (there are no language labs, only a cassette recorder that students bought with their own money). 

The mailing address is noted below. (It might increase the probability of delivery if it were restructured as: Russia, Republic of Chechnya, 364051 g. Grozny, ulitsa Mayakovskogo 84, "Memorial") If the post office won't accept packages for Grozny, books can also be sent to the Memorial office in the neighboring republic of Ingushetia: Russia, Republic of Ingushetia, 386100 g. Nazran, Mutalieva 46, "Memorial"

PS If someone would like a copy of the message below in Russian, just e-mail me with a return address at bryon at online.ru.

 
PEACE TO OUR PLANET

 

Grozny University Is Alive!

Destroyed buildings, burnt down library, sounds of shooting from outside..

But long-lived is desire to study. 

School is the light in the tunnel for many young people in Chechnya

 

10.000 students and 11 departments work in the wartime conditions:

departments of history, philology, Roman-Germanic philology, geography, journalism, physics and math, finances and economy, drama, legal studies, chemical-biological department, medical department.

DEAR FRIENDS!

HUMAN RIGHTS CENTER <MEMORIAL> INVITES YOU TO JOIN OUR NEW YEAR'S ACTION

New Year is a happy holiday

Your kind words will warm someone's heart in Chechnya

 

SEND A NEW YEARS GREETING OR/ AND A BOOK TO THE STUDENTS and PROFESSORS

 OF CHECHEN STATE UNIVERSITY! 

 

The university library has virtually no literature in foreign languages, is lacking in dictionaries and specialized literature. 

 

Your postcards will be translated and posted on a special exhibit at the university library. 

 

The action will run in December and January

 

LET THEM KNOW THEY ARE NOT  ALONE!

Please, send  your greetings and books to "Memorial",  364051 Mayakovskogo str., 84, Grozny, Chechen Republic, Russia. If you wish to otherwise support the university or its individual students, please, write to memorial at southnet.ru  with the headline "PEACE TO OUR PLANET".

ANNOUNCEMENT

UNITED STATES HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL MUSEUM
Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies

INTENSIVE YIDDISH COURSE FOR HOLOCAUST RESEARCH

The Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, in cooperation with the 2004 Indiana University Summer Workshop in Slavic, East European and Central Asian Languages, announces an intensive language course, Yiddish for Holocaust Research, to take place at Indiana University from June 28 to August 6, 2004.

The course is open to students and scholars from accredited institutions of higher education who have an interest in acquiring a reading knowledge of Yiddish in order to access Jewish source documents and perspectives on the Holocaust and to better understand the Yiddish-speaking Jewish communities of Europe that were targeted by the Nazis. While it is anticipated that most applicants will be at the graduate and post-doctoral level, undergraduate juniors and seniors are also eligible. The six-week course offers participants the equivalent of a full year (6 credits) of college language instruction for reading Yiddish in a single six-week summer session, utilizing the resources of Indiana University, which over several decades has developed and maintained one of the nation's premiere summer language programs. The Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies offers programs to develop and support excellence in Holocaust research and teaching, of which this new initiative is a part. Information regarding other Center programs is available at www.ushmm.org.

The course will be conducted from June 28 to August 6, 2004, and will focus primarily on grammar and reading skills for use in research.  Brukhe Lang Caplan, who has taught Yiddish at the Jewish Theological Seminary and in the intensive summer program sponsored by Columbia University and the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research, will teach the course.  Ms. Caplan received her B.A. from Oxford University and an M.Phil. in Yiddish from Columbia University, where she is pursuing her doctorate with a concentration on Yiddish literature, cultural history, and language instruction.  In addition to intensive language instruction, a weekly seminar on the Holocaust and Yiddish history and culture will be presented by faculty members of Indiana University, and staff and visiting scholars associated with the Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies.

The cost of the course, books and single-occupancy housing in air-conditioned university dormitories, will be covered by the program's sponsors. Successful applicants will also receive a meal allowance. Participants will have full access to Indiana University's library, athletic and other facilities, as well as internet access through the University's computer and email system.

All travel costs to and from Indiana University-Bloomington and incidentals are the responsibility of the participants or their respective institutions. Participants are required to attend all six weeks of the course. Six transferable credits will be available for graduate and undergraduate students who wish to have them on their home university transcripts.

Applications must include the following:

1) Resume; 
2) Short statement of the candidate's specific interest in Holocaust studies and Yiddish; 
3) Supporting letter from an academic advisor, department chair, or dean that addresses the candidate's qualifications, objectives for attending the course, and any institutional support being provided. 
 
Applications must be postmarked no later than March 23, 2004. Applications should be sent to the Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies, addressed as follows:

Dr. Ann Millin
Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies
United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
100 Raoul Wallenberg Place, SW Washington, DC 20024-2150
(Fax: 202-479-9726; E-mail: amillin at ushmm.org).

Candidates will be notified of the results of the application process by April 10.

Your student could check out Beloit College Summer School program http://www.beloit.edu/~cls/russian/index.htm
The program is pretty small and the professors are quite flexible regarding the material taught at higher language levels, i.e., culture seminars, etc. 

Middlebury is extremely good also, it might be a bit pricy for an international student.

Hello,

I am writing a paper on the use of mathematics in Zamyatin's We. I have
come across different publications of the book with some of them naming
the character I-330 and some 1-330. I have not been able to find any
conclusive evidence as to the validity of either one. Does anyone know
what was the name used by Zamyatin himself? Thanks.

Subject: Cyrillic fonts
Message-ID: <THU.22.JAN.2004.135326.0500.>

A query for Mac I-Book users:  I'm attempting to get my I-Book with
Panther 10.3 to read cyrillic documents previously created using the
Dialect 4 cyrillic system I purchased from Smart Links.  Smart Links
warns not to try to install Dialect 4 or it will crash my computer, and
they don't expect to produce anything for the 10. OS.

    I also have documents from the old GLPS ABTOP system that Dialect
could read,.

    I downloaded the shareware from Russification of Macintosh that
Lynne deBenedette recommended in her Dec. 16 note to SEELANGS, but I
find that this system can't read either the Dialect fonts or the GLPS
fonts.

    Has anyone encountered and solved this problem?  Any suggestions?

Thanks for *ANY* help!

Message-ID: <THU.22.JAN.2004.211458.0600.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

The North American Chekhov Society
Chekhov Centenary Symposium

Anton Chekhov (1860-1904)


Call For Papers

The North American Chekhov Society (NACS) is issuing a call for papers
to be presented at the Chekhov Centenary Symposium that will take place
on Thursday, October 14, 2004, at Colby College in Waterville, Maine.
The NACS Chekhov Centenary Symposium will be followed by a two-day
conference (October 15-16, 2004) dedicated to the American reception of
Chekhov. Participants in the latter meeting the full breadth of which
remains contingent on funding will include translators, theater scholars
and directors, writers and public critics, and physicians and scholars
working in the medical humanities. Prospective participants in the NACS
symposium can thus plan on attending three days of presentations and
roundtables on Chekhov, with all NACS papers to be delivered on
Thursday, October 14. The jubilee event will include Chekhov
performances and demonstrations by two New York theater groups.

Organizers of the Chekhov Centenary Symposium welcome the broadest range
of scholarly approaches and topics. Papers may be delivered in English
or Russian and should be twenty minutes long. Graduate students working
on Chekhov are encouraged to present. A title and abstract must be
submitted no later than May 31, 2004.

Colby College is situated in Waterville, Maine, an hour-plus drive from
the airports in Portland and Bangor, or three hours by car north of
Boston, and six hours southeast of Montreal. Information on travel and
accommodations will be sent to participants in June, 2004.

Please send two copies of your title and abstract, one to each of the
conference co-organizers, by post or e-mail. Include your name, address,
telephone, e-mail, fax, and institutional affiliation.

We assist with student-level travel arrangements for groups. We are
Boston-based, but have our own staff and partners in Russia.

There are a few decent hostels in St. Petersburg that are perfectly fine for
student groups. I am familiar with the Herzen U. hotel and have visited it.
It is great for location and prices are good, but there are some very
strange conditions for booking - you can't book it more than a week or two
ahead of time for some reason and while that may be OK for an individual,
taking such a risk with accommodations with a group of students doesn't make
sense. It is my understanding that this booking peculiarity is due to the
fact that the university has first and last minute rights to request rooms
for visiting professors and their own students.

Message-ID: <SUN.25.JAN.2004.144835.0000.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

Can anyone help with a difficult word in Platonov?  It is from the
unfinished 'The Macedonian Officer.

Mегариец ... спасался в случайностях текущей истории

The man from Megara always lived and acted without listening to anything
except the precise feeling of his own heart, and he took refuge in chance
accidents of current history ?? (looked for his salvation to the chance
accidents of current history -- literally: ‘saved himself in the chance
accidents of current history’).

Тhe meaning is that he is quick, resourceful, able to use chance events to
his own advantage when he is in a tight corner, when his life is at stake.

'looked for his salvation to' is not bad, but obviously a lot grander than
the Russian -- and we are talking of someone who is sensible and down to
earth.

Best wishes to all,

Robert Chandler

Thanks, Marian, I'll think about it -- though I'm reluctant to lose the word
'chance'.  

There's nothing like asking a question if you want to find an answer, and
soon after I sent my message it occurred to me that I could translate
'spasalsya' as 'found safety in'.

Message-ID: <SUN.25.JAN.2004.111932.0600.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

mr. chandler:

for "sluchainost," how would "vicissitudes" work?

i don't know the story, but life's journey is either directed, or one
flounders in a sea of vicissitude.  the greek term "tyche" and its
derivative "tychistic" don't sound like platonov, and would ruin your tone,
but they'd address the matter directly.

"spasalsia" is often used to describe what a monk did at this or that
monastery.  in its broadest sense it could mean "lived" or "was," but
clearly the sense of working toward salvation is there.  "found safety in"
is neither flesh nor foul nor good red herring; i'd want something more
specific or more general.

finally, if this officer is "seeking salvation" in the vicissitudes of
history, he'd be going about the journey in a very odd way indeed, about as
haphazard and half-assed as dante's pilgrim before he wakes up in mid-life
in the middle of a dark wood.

sound like an interesting story.  good luck.

The 3rd edition of the old Belarusian-Russian dictionary came out just
now in January 2004. For political reasons the new edition of the
Belarusian-Russian dictionary does not include even such basic words as
"spadar" (mister). This article on pravapis.org includes a brief English
summary on top of the page, I thought it would be interesting to some
SEELANGS subscribers.

From aof at UMICH.EDU  Sun Jan 25 21:39:38 2004

Subject: list of things coming to life
Message-ID: <SUN.25.JAN.2004.163938.0500.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

Dear SEELANGers,

Here are the results of my earlier query on things coming to life in Slavic
literature and film. My apologies for not thanking contributors individually
for their wonderful suggestions and ideas; hopefully this list will suffice as
my act of contrition. 

I have tried to present the list in groups or categories of “coming to life.” Of
course, the attempt to define the boundaries between different ways of coming
to life is its own topic, so in the interest of not letting this project get
completely out of hand (no Frankenstein’s monsters today!), I have left these
groupings very fast and loose. 

Thank you, 

Annie Fisher
 
Human Facsimiles or Body Parts (two entirely unrelated categories, actually) 
- Pushkin (Bronze Horseman, Ruslan and Liudmila [Ruslan is dead, the head that
speaks], Queen of Spades, Stone Guest, and Jakobson’s essay “The Statue in
Pushkin’s Poetic Mythology”)
- Erofeev ("Moskva-Petushki" - hallucinations about the statue of Minin and
Pozharsky)
- Gogol’ (Viy, "Strashnaia ruka," Nose - V. V. Vinogradov has a long study on
Gogol's Nose, where he talks of some related stories)  
- Odoevsky (mannequins, story[-ies] from Russian Nights)
- Dostoevskii (The Double, Bobok)
- Belyi (Petersburg - reprise of the Bronze Horseman)
- Prague legend of the Golem
- Sologub (The Petty Demon – Nedotykomka)
- Gombrowicz (Ferdydurke)
- Aleshkovsky (Kangaroo)

Inanimate Objects
- Olesha’s “Envy” (and M. O. Chudakova’s discussion of the idea that in him
“things come to life” in “Masterstvo Iuriia Oleshi”) 
- Lermontov (Shtoss – cards)
- Dziga Vertov’s “Man With a Movie Camera” 
- the first episode of Kieslowski's Dekalog, in which a linguist imputes
volition to computers (with disastrous results)
- Gogol’ (Overcoat) 
- Pelevin (a story that's something like "The Adventures of Shed 12," about a
sentient shed that wants to become a bicycle; more in Pelevin, and something in
Petrushevskaia)
- In literature on The Queen of Spades some other stories are mentioned where
playing cards come to life
- Svankmajer's films (shorts or possibly "Alice")
- It is worth considering that what you are describing could be called
animation, and the strong traditions of animated film in Slavic countries
hold a great many examples of it.
- the strange, unnatural fire balls in Mikhalkov's "Burnt by the Sun"

“Personification” (things that are not normally considered alive, but which take
on voice and personality), or comparing people to things and vice versa:
- the writing of Gogol, Dostoevskii, Platonov, Belyi, or Zoshchenko 
- if we include metaphor, then much of the “Southern School” (again, see
Chudakova)
- Shalamov’s bulldozer dinosaur(s) 
- Nabokov's "Visit to a Museum" (surreal moments) 
- Gastev’s Proletkul’t poetry (lines between flesh and metal, man and machine
break down)
- finger puppets in Florensky 
- Vysotsky's "Pesnia samoleta-istrebitelia" ("Ia—'IaK', istrebitel',—motor moi
zvenit")  

In a metaphorical or figurative sense
- Dostoevskii's Raskolnikov, Tolstoy's Natasha Rostova, Andrei Bolkonskii, Anna

Karenina, Konstantin Levin, and Kitty Shcherbatskii all come to life or back to
life in different ways
- Bulgakov, “A Dog’s Heart”” (Sharik coming to life as a sentient being; could
also fit under “Sci-Fi”)
- Evgenii Shvarts' "Everyday Miracle" in its entirely is a case of things/people
coming to life, and, taken broadly, all of Shvarts' works are about becoming
real human beings, independent and self-reliant
- the figures on ancient coins (and ancient coins themselves in a broader sense)
coming to life (e.g. in the dances of Isadora Duncan,  in a new Christian
synthesis, etc.) in Rozanov's writings 
- binoculars and tools and technologies coming to life as human organs in Pavel
Florensky's thought (i.e. in the sense of Romantic notions of organ projection,
which he takes pretty literally) 
- museums coming to life (the "living museum" is an important trope of utopian
[Christian and Soviet] discourse in the early twentieth century) 
- Gaidai’s film “Brilliantovaia ruka”

Sci-Fi (presents a nice problem: if these are in fact sentient beings, whether
or not they are recognized as such, can they be included in thinking about
*things* coming to life?)
- the Strugatskii brothers' Soliaris (the thing with the ocean-earth) 
- Stalker
- the amphibian-man, by whom I don't recall at the moment, but it was made into
a film in the 1950s 

Works with which I am not familiar, and can’t “categorize:” 
- Gabriel Choreb (HOGTOWN)
- Pushkin (The Golden Cockerel)
- Andreyev (The Red Laugh) 
- Khlebnikov (The Crane, The Marquise des S., and The Stone Woman) 
- Sologub (The Worm, Snegurochka) 
- Mayakovsky (Extraordinary Adventure...)
- much of Guro's prose
 
Interestingly, there were fewer suggestions from 20th-century literature or
non-Russian literatures than I was expecting. Also, the divisions between
categories really start to break down if one considers devils/deviltry,
madness/psychological problems (an interesting example from non-Russian lit is
Tomek Tryzna's novel "Miss Nobody"), objective reality vs. subjective 
"visions" of things coming to life, etc. I would enjoy continuing the discussion
of these themes/works (off-list, of course!). 

And, just for fun, some suggestions from non-Slavic sources: 

- Mary Shelley (Frankenstein)
- Pinocchio
- Hawthorne (short stories The Artist of the Beautiful, Feathertop, )
- Woody Allen (short story "The Kugelmass Episode" the protagonist is chased by
a large and hairy irregular Spanish verb [tener, to be specific])
- Tommaso Landolfi (short story Gogol's Wife, many others) 
- T. H. White's "Sword in the Stone" (not the revised version in "The Once
and Future King") utensils come to life
- Lucian (where?) (the original version of the Sorceror's Apprentice) brooms
come to life
- “The Lives of Things" by the phenomenologist Charles C. Scott  
- the bed episode in Wolfram von Eschenbach's Middle High German
text Parzival
- Alice In Wonderland
- J. R. R. Tolkein’s The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (the ring)
- Edgar Allen Poe (The Purloined Letter, others)

Can anyone help with a difficult word in Platonov?  It is from the
unfinished 'The Macedonian Officer.

Mегариец ... спасался в случайностях текущей истории

The man from Megara always lived and acted without listening to anything
except the precise feeling of his own heart, and he took refuge in chance
accidents of current history ?? (looked for his salvation to the chance
accidents of current history -- literally: ‘saved himself in the chance
accidents of current history’).

Тhe meaning is that he is quick, resourceful, able to use chance events to
his own advantage when he is in a tight corner, when his life is at stake.

'looked for his salvation to' is not bad, but obviously a lot grander than
the Russian -- and we are talking of someone who is sensible and down to
earth.

Best wishes to all,

Robert Chandler

Does anyone know of a good, preferably recent TV-documentary in English
about St. Petersburg(history, perhaps culture and literature)? Something
must have been made for the anniversary. I have searched the web, but found
next to nothing. It's ok if it's touristy, as long as it's worth showing
students as an introduction to the city.

Thanks in advance. Please reply off-list to kyst at hum.ku.dk

Dear Seelangers,

In response to Elena Chernishenko's posting on 21 January, I would like to
clarify that financial aid is indeed available to all eligible applicants
to the Middlebury Language Schools, be they US citizens or not.
Middlebury's financial aid policy is based entirely on need. Many who study
at Middlebury's Language Schools are international students.

For further information on Middlebury Language Schools, see:

http://www.middlebury.edu/ls/

For financial aid information, see:

http://www.middlebury.edu/offices/finaid/language.html

For a list of courses being offered in the Middlebury Russian School's
6-week graduate program this coming summer, see:

http://www.middlebury.edu/ls/lschool/russian/programs/grad/

You can find information on the intensive 9-week undergraduate program at:

http://www.middlebury.edu/ls/lschool/russian/programs/lang_session/

Finally, you can find general information on the Middlebury Russian School at:

http://www.middlebury.edu/ls/lschool/russian/

We will soon post updated information on our rich co-curricular program,
featuring guest film director Alla Surikova and the Russian folk ensemble
in residence Zolotoi Plios.

We look forward to what should be an exciting summer at Middlebury! Please
encourage interested students to apply as soon as possible, as financial
aid applications are considered on a first-come, first-served basis.

A QWERTY keyboard layout that works nicely in OS X is the one found at:

http://www.mmlc.northwestern.edu/mmlc-software/translit_rus_kbd_x/

The toggle function (between English & Cyrillic) works through <Command +

Times CY, Geneva CY, etc.

Dear SEELANGers,

I probably should know this, but I don't and I can't find any definite
reference to this question:
--should the word "tsar" be capitalized? how about "tsarist government" or
"tsarist Russia"?

 From what I see in the Chicago Manual of Style it doesn't need to be
capitalized, but maybe the Slavic community has its own rules?

thanks

The Chicago Manual of Style indicates that titles should be capitalized when
they immediately precede a name; however, when they are in apposition (as
when there is a determiner or other modifier), they are lowercased.  This
would imply "Tsar Nikolai II," but "the last Russian tsar Nikolai II," or
"Nikolai II, the last tsar."  (I don't have the 15th edition; you can find
the reference in 7.15 and 7.22 of the 14th edition.)  My interpretation of
the Chicago Manual's rules for capitalizing adjectives is that words like
"tsarist," which are not derived from proper names, should be lowercased.
Cf. paragraphs. 7.46 and 7.47.

I would treat it the same as "king" or "emperor" or any other term for
royalty -- capitalize only when used with a specific name:

Queen Jolanta I, Tsar Pavel I, etc. ;-)

Message-ID: <WED.28.JAN.2004.084614.0500.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

Dear colleagues,
        I am looking for a visa service that will issue a double-entry tourist
visa to Russia. Most places I find on the web won't do it. But East-West
Tours will. Their address:
http://www.east-west-tours.com/
        Have any of you used this service? They're in Seattle. Are they
reputable? Why will they do what most others will not? Can anyone
recommend an excellent visa service that does issue double-entry tourist
visas?
        Hopefully,

Subject: Imminent End to Slavic Studies at Basel University
Message-ID: <WED.28.JAN.2004.085653.0800.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

Dear Colleagues:

On Thursday, January 22, the University of Basel announced its intention to
discontinue Slavic studies. The new came suddenly and unexpectedly, without
consultation with the members of the faculty or students.

This would be a major loss for our field and I urge all of you to write
letters to the appropriate authorities (names and addresses below) to
express your concern and urge that the program be retained.  The background
is as follows:

 The administration's position is that Slavistics is central to the
University's core mission. It has been led to believe that profiling
Slavistics is not particularly important for Switzerland, and concluded that
two Universities (at Zurich and Bern) suffice to meet demand in the field.

These conclusions appear to have arisen in a vacuum, with little
consideration for the actual state of the program and its international
reputation.  I recently had the priviledge of conducting an advanced seminar
at the University and can speak with first-hand experience about its
strengths.

The University of Basel has a thriving program on both the graduate and
undergraduate level, with some ninety students currently enrolled--a
substantial number given the modest size of the University. It has a superb
infrastructure, boasting one of Central Europe's finest Slavic collections a
large Slavic Seminar Library and joint production of a highly regarded
publication series (Slavica Helvetica). It is ably directed by Professor
Andreas Guski, known to many of you as a leading specialist in the literaure
of the Soviet Period (the production novel in particular).  Morale is high
(at least until the most recent announcement!) and the faculty is
productive, both in terms of scholarship and students awarded degrees. The
program has developed an international reputation for innovative research,
in particular its seminar series, "Literature and Commerce: the Writer's
Profession and Money Symbolism in Russian Realism," a major outgrown of the
"New Economic Criticism."  It has generated significant interest in the
local community as well, and productive ties to local museums and archives
(the Stravinsky Archive, the Fritz Lieb Collection, the Tsvetaeva Archive,
etc.). THE LOSS OF THE PROGRAM WOULD REPRESENT A MAJOR LOSS FOR OUR FIELD.

Additional details about the program, as well as the planned closure, may be
found on the Slavic Seminar Web Sites (http://www.unibas.ch/slavi/index.htm
and http://www.unibas.ch/slavi/protest/foren.htm).

I strongly urge you to write the President of the University Council, the
Rector, the Dean, and also to e-mail the head of the Institute, Prof.
Andreas Guski, expressing your support for Slavic Studies. Together we can
rescue this program.  Here are the addresses:

Prof. Dr. theol. Ulrich Gabler
Universitat Basel, Rektorat
Petersplatz 1, Postfach
CH-4003 Basel
Switzerland

Dr. phil. Rolf Soiron

Frau Prof. Doktor Annelies Hacki-Buhofer

Please send e-mail copies of your letters to the Slavic Seminar Director,
Prof. Andreas Guski, at Andreas.Guski at unibas.ch, or by snail-mail to him at:

Please assist both Basel University and the field of Slavic Studies by

do not hesitate to contact me off-line (vroon at humnet.ucla.edu).

Hi, on the basis of my experience, I don't recommend the Routledge Estonian
(it has lots of errors). There's a good course that I don't have a precise
reference to, done in Australia, if anyone knows about it, but for me I
would recommend the following: Tere, Eestimaa! (Hello, Estonia!), published
by Pangloss (it's "An audiovisual course in spoken Estonian") or, if you
know Russian, Eesti Keele Opik (no diacritics given here, but the "O" has a
tilde), by Valmet, Uuspold, and Turu. Good luck!

The Russian book is definitely better. I have tried learning from both and
was relieved to see that at least the methodology for teaching Estonian to
Russians had improved tremendously.  The books I tried using (for
self-learning and with an instructor) in English (including Tere! Estonia)
were extremely frustrating. That was a few years ago though and so hopefully
the situation has improved. I found it to be an interesting way to really
understand how much more developed the methodology of teaching the Russian
and Lithuanian languages to foreigners was in comparison.

The NY Times requires you to register in order to receive their content,
and the only way they can tell is if you accept their cookies.

The audio link is just the author reading a two-minute summary of the
story. He starts off with a few stumbles, but warms up and gets through
most of it without difficulty. His pronunciation of Russian names such
as Noril'sk is entirely American. There is no slide show or other video,
only a still photo of someone walking the frozen streets of Noril'sk.

The link to this report uses javascript to pop up a daughter window, so
if you don't have javascript enabled, nothing will happen, and if you
use a pop-up blocker, you have to temporarily disable it. Once you get
there, the audio requires RealPlayer.

If you want to go there directly, without the javascript and popup
business, follow this link:

SEELANGERS!

I am trying to find someone in Louisiana who can do some translation work
for me. Do you know someone who is fluent in Albanian?  Someone with a
medical background would be especially helpful. I haven't had any luck in
Mississippi. Many thanks~

Dear SEELANGers:

The Jack Kent Cooke Foundation (www.jackkentcookefoundation.org) awards
fellowships to students who are colege seniors or recent college
graduates to attend graduate programs in fall 2004.  The scholarships
cover tuition, room and board, books and other required fees for up to
six years; amount and duration of awards vary with a maximum of $50,000
per student per year.

Candidates cannot apply directly; they must be nominated by the faculty
representative at their undergrad institution.  each institution may
nominate two candidates.

Nominees must be a senior or must have graduated since May 1999 and
must be accepted (acceptance date by April 30, 2004) into a full-time
grad degree program at an accredited university to begin studies in
fall 2004. Undergrad GPA must be 3.5 or better.

This looks like a great way to help a future Slavist pay for his/her
graduate education.

See the website for more information.

Sincerely,

Ben Rifkin

Message-ID: <THU.29.JAN.2004.145918.0500.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

 

CFP - Amsterdamer Beiträge zur neueren Germanistik (special issue on air war) 

 

Proposals are invited for contributions to a volume of essays on the air war in Europe from 1937-1945. Historical essays that place the European air war in historical context - e.g. strategic bombing during WWI, warfare against colonial possessions during the interwar years, the bombing war against Japan, etc - are welcome, but our main interest is in critical studies on literary or cinematic representations of and reflections on the bombing war conducted by and/or against Germany during the Second World War.  We wish to move beyond moral and political arguments about who should and should not be presented as victims (as elicited, for instance, by the publication of Jörg Friedrich's Der Brand).  Although we recognize that representations and narratives are often, if not always, morally and politically inflected, we also assume as normal that all people be able to tell their stories, no matter who the people or what the stories are.  Therefore, we are looking for studies that directly deal with representations (in, for instance, novels, poetry, paintings, memorials, photographs, films) of the bombing war, its effects (on aircrews or victims in Spain, Poland, the Netherlands, England, Germany, or elsewhere), its efficacy, and the efforts to remember or efface the memory of its effects after the war.  We are also interested in examinations of why such representations may be rare or lacking in certain national literary traditions (for instance, the post-war German literary tradition, as claimed by Sebald). 

 

Possible topics include:

 

German literature on air war (Nossack; Ledig; Kluge; et.al.)

American/British/Dutch/French/ Polish/Russian/Spanish etc. literature on air war

Air war & film

Public memory and memorials

The distinction between memory & history

Air war & international law

Taboo & repression (psychological and/or social)

The role of photography (as means of warfare and as representation of warfare's effects)

Narrative form and leitmotifs

Language and style

 

Please e-mail abstracts of c. 200 words to both the editors by 1 June 2004:

1)          We believe that the maximum number of students in an Introductory Russian class should not exceed 16.  If 17 are enrolled, there should be two sections; if 33 - three sections, and so on.  Based on your teaching experience, do you agree or you believe that the cut-off number may be higher or must be lower?



2)          Does your school have a rule limiting the number of students in a language class?





3)          If it does, what is the cut-off?

In a perfect world...  While I believe in keeping class size under 18 if
possible--and my personal ideal number is 12, effective pedagogy and task
design can go a long way toward making a larger class function more like a
smaller one (in the sense that there can be just as much active
participation and communication of ideas).

However, there are other issues: first, I fear that a university
administrator, even if enrollment is officially capped, might not concede
the validity of your equation, because many institutions also have MINIMUM
enrollments for a section to run at all.  At a school with a minimum
enrollment of 6 (and at many places it's higher) 17 students could become
two sections only if there were at least 6 in each.  So splitting one
section could work, but if you had advertised two, at different times, and
one didn't make the minimum, you'd just have to cancel it.  If the minimum
needed is as high as 10, then the univ. answer to having 17 total is "either
let the extra student into the one section you have, or s/he's out of luck."
Second, even if you're allowed to split the section, administrations can
always say: well, if you want to split it, go ahead, but you'll have to do
it as an overload."  Don't assume that they'll agree that *running* the
section = *funding* staff.

> 2)          Does your school have a rule limiting the number of students in a

>
At Brown departments can set rules themselves, but the university is not
obligated to come up with funding for extra personnel if enrollments are too
large.  So Spanish doesn't get $$ for an extra teacher when 35 people want a
section of 1st sem. language capped at 18, although if a faculty martyr
decided to take on that extra section as unpaid overload, they wouldn't fuss
about it.

Spanish limits to 18, not sure about others.  We don't have one in Slavic,
so regular track 1st year has 21 in one section.  Chinese has had numbers in
the 30s in single sections. And the 44 people in 1st year Arabic last year
were not turned away despite there being only one section (although they did
manage funding for a TA to split them some of the time).  The upside is that
one is allowed to run small sections mostly without administrative
complaint; at many schools I'd have to cancel Intensive 1st Year if the
enrollment were six.

I am sorry to address this to the entire list, but I do not have Sarah
Barber's personal e-mail address.  Ms. Barber asked about prostitution
in connection with various authors.  I would like to add Andreev's
"Khristiane" (1906) and "T'ma" (1907), both of which slipped my mind as
I had myself just been concentrating on "Bezdna" and "V Tumane."  I will
continue to think about this question.

whether or not your paper is accepted for a panel on or before March 10th
and the complete 20-minute paper must be in the hands of the discussants
by April 5th. Submissions of whole panels on a particular theme (3
talks) are acceptable.
      The Acceptance Committee is made up of advanced graduate students
with minimal participation by two faculty advisors. Particularly fine
submissions from college seniors who wish to go on in Slavic will be
considered on an equal basis with gradute submissions.
    Please send all abstracts to Prof. Anna L. Crone,Slavic Forum. Dept of
Slavic Languages and Literatures, University of Chicago. 1130 E. 59th
Street,Chicago. IL 60637 or electronically acrone at midway.uchicago.edu or

Subject: Survey: Maximum Number of Students in Introductory Russian
Message-ID: <FRI.30.JAN.2004.123218.0500.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

I'm currently teaching three sections of 18, 19, and 19, and my fellow
instructors are teaching a total of five other sections with an average
size of 18.  This is larger than usual for West Point. Ordinarily, class
size is 14-17.  I'm not aware of any rule on class size here, but the
physical size of the classrooms makes any number higher than 20
impossible.

Subject: [SEELANGS] Survey: Maximum Number of Students in Introductory
Russian


Dear Colleagues:



1)          We believe that the maximum number of students in an
Introductory Russian class should not exceed 16.  If 17 are enrolled,
there should be two sections; if 33 - three sections, and so on.  Based
on your teaching experience, do you agree or you believe that the
cut-off number may be higher or must be lower?



2)          Does your school have a rule limiting the number of students
in a language class?





3)          If it does, what is the cut-off?



4)          Is it the same or different for "more difficult" languages
such as Russian?



Spasibo.

Lev Loseff.

Larry-

Is this something that you or I (or both) should consider attending?
Since it is actually for other languages, as well, I'll send it on to
them.
