Culture in Transition -- Announcement -- Rev

[Benjamin Sher]

Dear friends:

NOTE: My apologies but I need to hold back the opening for a few days 
until certain corrections are made. Please check very shortly.

Thank you.

Benjamin

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!
