Culture in Transition -- Announcement

[Benjamin Sher]

Dear friends:

I would like to formally announce the opening of the Culture in 
Transition: A Search For Identity in The Arts in Post-Soviet Russia web 
site at:

Culture in Transition
http://www.websher.net/yale/rl/cultureintransition/

This site consists of papers delivered at an international conference at 
Yale University on April 11-13, 2003. The papers are available in their 
entirety online in both English and Russian. This site is also available 
as a bilingual book published by Yale University Press and the National 
Centre for Contemporary Arts in Russia (2006). The printed book includes 
most but not all of the papers available online and some of the papers 
were substantially edited or omitted. The contributors to this volume 
represent art critics, philologists, literary scholars, art historians, 
historians and creative intellectuals from Russia. Their work has been 
concerned with the individual phenomena and features of the search for 
identity as reflected in Russian literature, the visual and performing 
arts, education and media at the turn of the 21st century. The 
conference was organized and supervised by Rita Lipson of Yale 
University. Finally, we would like thank Galina Andreevna Belaia for her 
participation. She was unable to attend the conference due to illness 
and passed away not long thereafter.

Thank you and enjoy!
