Call for Papers at Russian-themed panel (NEMLA, 7-11 April 2011; New Brunswick, NJ)

[Alexandar Mihailovic]

Dear SEELANG-ovtsy:

There is still room for at least one more presenter on the panel I am
organizing for the Northeast Modern Language Association (NEMLA) next
Spring.  The topic of this particular panel is ideal for the venue.  The
Zimmerli Art Musuem in New Brunswick, NJ has a stunning collection of
contemporary Russian art, and I am in the process of arranging a reception
for the Russian specialists at the conference.

"Russian Dissident Art and Writing in the Soviet Union"

The underground market of dissident work in the visual and literary arts
became increasingly influential in the general cultural life of major
Russian cities during the last two decades of the Soviet Union. We will
examine the legacy of Russian dissident art, literature and the unexpected
ways in which it occasionally intersected with the genre of politicized
belles-lettres known as publitsistika. Abstracts of no more than 250 words
should be sent by September 30, 2011 to Alexandar Mihailovic
(cllazm at hofstra.edu) and may also consider how dissident identities
contributed to post-Soviet paradigms of the Russian intelligentsia.
