Kundera panel

[Lenka Pankova]

Dear Seelangers,

now that Milan Kundera has made a splash on this list, let me remind you
that I have been trying to put together an AATSEEL panel on topics clearly
dear to a SEELANGER's heart. This is the ad again (originally meant for
AAASS, but, as Kundera emphasized in his Jerusalem address, "man thinks,
God laughs"...
All the best, Lenka Pankova





Topics may include (but are not limited to):
-Kundera's reception /or lack thereof?/ in post-socialist Bohemia
-Kundera and the art of anti-nostalgia(???)
-Kundera and his "Central European Pleiad" (Gombrowicz, Kafka, Broch, Musil)
-Kundera's "key words" throughout his ouevre (for instance, memory,
forgetting, lightness, heaviness etc.)
-Music as an organizing principle in Kundera's works
-Targets of Kundera's sarcasm (ideologies East and West, consumerism,
graphomania, "free love," feminist literary theory...)
