AAASS 2010 Panel on magic in Russian literature

[Rebecca Jane Stanton]

Dear colleagues,

Would anyone like to be the third speaker on a panel David Powelstock 
and I are putting together on "magic words" (which might be understood 
literally or figuratively) in modern Russian literature?  The two papers 
already included deal, respectively, with "Magical Symbolism in Doctor 
Zhivago" and "_Magiia slov_ Revisited: Bely's _Petersburg_ and Literary 
Hypertext."  We are, of course, happy to extend the theme of the panel 
to include other kinds of magic, texts from other periods or non-Russian 
traditions, etc., or even outside the frame of literature, if someone 
has an alternative disciplinary perspective to bring to the topic. 

If interested, please let me know (rjs19 at columbia.edu), and happy new year!

Rebecca Stanton
