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
10027,USA.

For posted submissions, please include (2) two print copies as well
as a copy in rich text file on CDR. For further details, see our
website at www.columbia.edu/cu/slavic/ulbandus/, or write to:
ulbandus at columbia.edu for more information. Ulbandus is a
peer-reviewed journal.
