Question: the Nabokov issue

[Furman, Yelena]

Dear Julia,

Here is the message.

Call for Papers: My Nabokov

The next issue of Ulbandus, Columbia University's Slavic Review, turns its
focus to Vladimir Nabokov, perhaps the most provocative Russian author of
the 20th century (google 1,430,000 and rising; Solzhenytsin brings up half
that number).  Nabokov's prodigious output in poetry, prose, translation-and
strong opinions-raises numerous questions for us to consider:

Fame and literary scandals; problems of translation and translation theory;
text adaptation in film and film representation in text; the visual Nabokov;
the author in exile; Nabokov as Russian, American or European author;
autobiography as fiction or vice versa; bending genre; the 'voice' in the
introduction; Nabokov as scholar, instructor and scientist; erotica and
pornography; Nabokov as inspiration; the (post)Soviet Nabokov-among many
other possibilities.  We are especially interested in the notion of Nabokov
in dialogue-with other authors, genres and media-and encourage papers
focusing on works that specifically rewrite and reinvent Nabokov (i.e.,
Kubrick, Pelevin, Eco, Nafisi) or explore the idea of dialogue, or the lack
thereof, as a structural, narratological and ethical question in Nabokov's
works taken alone. 

As always, Ulbandus welcomes non-traditional and / or experimental pieces.
Submissions from outside of the Slavic field are warmly invited.  The
submission deadline is May 1, 2006.

Papers must be double-spaced and should not exceed 25 pages in length.
Electronic submissions are encouraged. Interested applicants may also submit
papers to:

ULBANDUS, Columbia
University, 1130 Amsterdam Avenue
Mail code 2839, New York, NY

copy in rich text file on CDR. For further details, see our website at
