Subject: [SEELANGS] Fwd: Russian Criminal Tattoos

Greetings!

A student in my second-year Russian class asked me yesterday about Russian 
criminal tattoos. Of course I know nothing at all about this, but I asked her to 
write up her question in forwardable form. If anyone can help her, I'd be 
delighted to pass along any information sent directly to me or posted to this 
list. Thanks in advance!

George Fowler

The student writes:

I've had a few questions about Russian criminal tattoos pop up recently. First 
of all I'll make the disclaimer that I don't know exactly what the proper name 
for the Russian Mafia/Mob/Cartel/Bratva is, so I'll just be using Mafia as a 
catch all - feel free to specify or to not get into it (I'd like to learn, but 
my point in asking is the tattoos)

My first question is: at what frequency these are given in prisons versus
those who get them done outside of prison. For example, the stars on the
collar bone and knees seem to be done mostly outside of prison (from my
extremely limited understanding, do correct me if I'm wrong), while
something like shackles would be more likely than not acquired during
incarceration. The tattoos I have specific questions about are the hands
holding the Kremlin, the stars for ranking, and the epaulets on the
shoulders (more specifically with the imperialist rankings over the soviet,
but any information will do) What are the exact meanings of these tattoos,
in what organizations/rings of crime are people more likely to get them, and
how are they likely to be acquired? Is prison most likely for them all, or
are they concevably gained while outside of jail?

Message-ID: <FRI.1.APR.2011.163653.0400.SEELANGS@BAMA.UA.EDU>

The Politics and Pragmatics of Translation in the USSR: The Daily Life  
of Language in a Multi-National Empire

Thursday, 07 April 2011?Friday, 08 April 2011
Room 1512, International Affairs Building.

This conference will bring together scholars from various disciplines  
across the humanities and social sciences to discuss the politics of  
language and the pragmatics of language policy under state socialism  
in one of the most linguistically diverse regions of the world.  
Invoking ?translation? in the broadest terms, the conference will  
address such topics as the art of translation of formal literary works  
from minority languages into Russian (i.e., Boris Pasternak?s use of  
cribs to translate Georgian literature without ever learning the  
Georgian language), practices of code-switching between official and  
local languages in informal conversation as well as formal literary  
contexts, and the mobilization of local language ideologies as a form  
of resistance against the hegemony of the Russian language in every  
aspect of daily experience. In an effort to understand the politics  
and pragmatics of translation in the USSR in comparative perspective,  
the conference program also features scholars whose work addresses  
similar problems elsewhere in the world and in other socio-historical  
contexts.

Keynote speakers: David Bellos, Princeton University and Nancy Condee,

THE POLISH CULTURAL INSTITUTE IN NEW YORK

presents

BETWEEN STALIN AND HITLER:
MASS MURDER IN CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE
an international symposium

with TIMOTHY SNYDER
bestselling author of
Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin

Columbia University
International Affairs Building 1501
118th St. & Amsterdam Ave
New York, NY

Monday, April 4, 2011, 6:00 PM
Free and open to the public

Path-breaking and often courageous, Timothy Snyder’s account of the
methods and motives of murderous regimes, both at home and  in foreign
war, will radically revise our appreciation of the implications of
mass extermination in the recent past.  Bloodlands – impeccably
researched and appropriately sensitive to its volatile material – is
the most important book to appear on this subject for decades and will
surely become the reference in its field.
--Tony Judt

The Polish Cultural Institute in New York and the East Central
European Center and Harriman Institute at Columbia University present
an international symposium with bestselling historian Prof. Timothy
Snyder (Yale University) and leading historians István Deák (Columbia
University), Pawel Machcewicz (University of Warsaw), and Yaroslav
Hrytsak (L’viv University) to discuss Snyder’s recent book,
Bloodlands:  Europe Between Hitler and Stalin (Basic Books 2010).
John Micgiel (Columbia University), director of the East Central
European Center, will moderate the discussion.

This is an important book. I have never seen a book like it.
- István Deák, The New Republic

Timothy Snyder’s Bloodlands  is a lucid, humane, and moving account of
the history of the region -  rather than of a single country -
between Hitler’s Germany and Stalin’s Soviet Union, written with new
information from formerly classified archives and rich with individual
accounts of the consequences of horror perpetrated in these lands from
both directions.  Snyder proceeds from individual stories of the
tragedies of the “Bloodlands” between Germany and the Soviet Union,
and then he multiplies those stories by the millions who were killed
due to policies of famine and mass starvation, death camps,
deportations, hard labor, gassings, and executions.

 Timothy Snyder is a Professor of  History at Yale University.  He
received his doctorate from the University of Oxford where he was a
British Marshall Scholar, and has held fellowships in Paris, Vienna,
Warsaw, and at Harvard.  His writing has appeared in The New York
Review of Books, The Boston Globe, The Christian Science Monitor, The
Chicago Tribune, The New Republic, The Nation, and The Times Literary
Supplement.  He has received the Oskar Halecki prize for his book,
Nationalism, Marxism, and Modern Central Europe: A Biography of
Kazimierz Kelles-Krauz (Harvard University Press, 1998), the George
Louis Beer Prize of the American Historical Association as well as
awards from the American Association for Ukrainian Studies, Przeglad
Wschodni, and Marie Curie-Sklodowska University for his book, The
Reconstruction of Nations: Poland, Ukraine, Lithuania, Belarus,
1569-1999 (Yale University Press, 2003), and the Pro Historia
Polonorum award for Sketches from a Secret War: A Polish Artist's
Mission to Liberate Soviet Ukraine (Yale University Press, 2005).  His
most recent books are The Red Prince:  The Secret Lives of a Habsburg
Archduke (Basic Books, 2008) and Bloodlands:  Europe Between Hitler
and Stalin (Basic Books, 2010).

István Deák is Seth Low Professor Emeritus at Columbia University
where he has taught in the Department of History since 1964, and was
the Director of the University's Institute on East Central Europe
between 1968 and 1979.  Professor Deak's award-winning publications,
which have been translated into various languages, include, Weimar
Germany's Left-wing Intellectuals: A Political History of the
"Weltbuhne" and Its Circle (The University of California Press, 1968);
The Lawful Revolution: Louis Kossuth and the Hungarians, 1848-1849
(Columbia, 1979), as well as Beyond Nationalism: A Social and
Political History of the Habsburg Officer Corps, 1848-1918
(Oxford,1990). His most recent publication is Essays on Hitler's
Europe (Nebraska, 2001), which appeared also in Hungarian. He edited
and partly wrote, together with Jan T. Gross and Tony Judt, The
Politics of Retribution in Europe: World War II and Its Aftermath
(Princeton, 2000).

Yaroslav Hrytsak is Director of The Petro Jacyk Program for the Study
of Modern Ukrainian History and Society, L'viv National Ivan Franko
University, with appointments at the Ukrainian Catholic University,
and University of Alberta (Edmonton, Canada) and Central European
University in Budapest. One of Ukraine's most prominent intellectuals,
Hrytsak frequently publishes in the prestigious Ukrainian liberal
journal, Krytyka. His books include 'The Spirit that Moves to
Battle...' An attempt of a political portrait of Ivan Franko
(1856-1916) (L'viv, 1990) and Essays in Ukrainian History: Making of
Modern Ukrainian Nation (Kyiv, 1996).

 Pawel Machcewicz is currently affiliated with the Institute of
Political Studies (Polish Academy of Sciences) in Warsaw and is a
Professor at the University of Warsaw. He was a Cold War International
History Project Scholar at the Woodrow Wilson Center in both 1994 and
2007. He was named the Polish Prime Minister's personal representative
for the creation of a new World War II Museum in Gdansk, and  serves

��Other Russias/Russia��s Others: Films in and on the Margins��
2-7 May 2011

Just as New York is not America, so Moscow is not Russia.   And more broadly, the center is not the periphery.  The irony embedded in the Russian version is this: the ��center�� (be it Moscow or St. Petersburg) is located near the westernmost border of the country, seven times zones away from the easternmost border.

At their root, however, the US and Russian clich��s have entirely different meanings.  The English clich�� emphasizes the ethnic and cultural diversity of New York in comparison to the American heartland.  The Russian version stresses the stark economic and infrastructural gap between the center and the periphery.  Although this gap pre-dates even Soviet power, it has grown dramatically over the past two decades.  The center has experienced a high increase in new construction (buildings and roads); the influx of domestic and foreign capital into the center has fostered a burgeoning middle-class with access to all consumer goods.  Meanwhile, the periphery has been largely ignored; living conditions have deteriorated and roads become impassable.  Poverty has risen sharply, accompanied by shortages of essential foodstuffs.

For much of these two decades, Russian feature films, like the political administrative center, have ignored the periphery, focusing instead on the increasing wealth, proliferation of consumer goods, conspicuous consumption, and glossy life-styles in Moscow and St. Petersburg.  In part this was a matter of convenience and economy: Moscow and St. Petersburg are the administrative and production centers of the Russian film industry: the Union of Filmmakers is based in Moscow and has its largest affiliate offices in St. Petersburg; four of the five film studios in the country are located in these two cities.

In the past two years, however, directors have increasingly turned their attention to the conditions of life in the Russian periphery�D to the smaller, outlying cities (Vladivostok, Perm, Rostov-on-the-Don), the rural countryside, and even the permafrost regions.  Russian screens��the vast majority of which are overhauled screening halls and new multiplexes in the center��are now filled with an unexpected form of exotica: the Motherland!

Critical and popular reactions to these images have been sharply mixed.  Some have welcomed the expansion of locale shooting, the ��authenticity�� of the living conditions, and the examination of the hardships in these locations.  Many more have fiercely attacked these films for ��blackening�� Russia; they compare these films to early post-Soviet chernukha (films that showed the ugly underside of life, inherited from the Soviet system).

We ask you to join us during the week of 2-7 May 2011 and decide for yourselves.

Message-ID: <SAT.2.APR.2011.232531.0700.SEELANGS@BAMA.UA.EDU>

Dear SEELANGers,

I thought I might as well add my voice to the chorus of temporary 
housing hunters. I'm looking for an apartment or a room in St. 
Petersburg this summer while I conduct research there. The approximate 
dates of my stay will probably end up being something like July 24 to 
August 26. If you have any leads or advice (such as helpful websites to 
search for listings), please contact me directly at <leidy at stanford.edu>.

By the way, just curious if knows whether any craigslist-like sites have 
sprung up in Russia in the last couple years?

Thanks!

Dear SEELANGers,

This is a general brainstorming question: can anyone advise on authors or
novels dealing with Darwinist themes (or with evolutionary biology
generally, thus including Lamarck, Michurin, Haeckel and others) in
twentieth-century Russian literature? I'm primarily interested in mainstream
fiction, including Socialist Realism (therefore not necessarily in science
fiction). Please reply on-list.

Best wishes and thanks in advance,

Dear Muireann,

see Mandelstam's "Journey to Armenia".
And I strong reccomend for the context one novel from XIX century,
that is Boleslav Markevich's "Марина из Алого Рога".

Dear Muireann,

In 1932 Mandel'shtam wrote a wonderful poem titled "Lamark"(See it  
below.) You can also read Mandel'shtam's article "K probleme nauchnogo  
stilia Darvina" here:
http://www.ug.ru/archive/1806
There is an interesting article (penned by Sarnov) that discusses  
Mandelshtam's views on  
evolution:http://www.lechaim.ru/ARHIV/151/sarnov.htm

All best,
Alexandra

----------------------------------
   ЛАМАРК
Был старик, застенчивый как мальчик,
Неуклюжий, робкий патриарх…
Кто за честь природы фехтовальщик?
Ну, конечно, пламенный Ламарк.
Если всё живое лишь помарка
За короткий выморочный день,
На подвижной лестнице Ламарка
Я займу последнюю ступень.
К кольчецам спущусь и к усоногим,
Прошуршав средь ящериц и змей,
По упругим сходням, по излогам
Сокращусь, исчезну, как Протей.
Роговую мантию надену,
От горячей крови откажусь,
Обрасту присосками и в пену
Океана завитком вопьюсь.
Мы прошли разряды насекомых
С наливными рюмочками глаз.
Он сказал: природа вся в разломах,
Зренья нет — ты зришь в последний раз.
Он сказал: довольно полнозвучья,—
Ты напрасно Моцарта любил:
Наступает глухота паучья,
Здесь провал сильнее наших сил.
И от нас природа отступила —
Так, как будто мы ей не нужны,
И продольный мозг она вложила,
Словно шпагу, в тёмные ножны?.
И подъёмный мост она забыла,
Опоздала опустить для тех,
У кого зелёная могила,
Красное дыханье, гибкий смех…
7 − 9 мая 1932

As for craigslist-like sites - I'm not sure about St. Petersburg, but those interested in finding housing in Moscow can check out expat.ru. There are often announcements from expats looking to rent out a room in their apartment. The site also has advertisements for English tutors and teachers (since questions about teaching English in Russia also seem to come up a lot). Strangely, the "Vacancies" tab is for employment. If you're looking for housing, you have to go to "Real Estate" -- "Offered."

Good luck!

I'm sure you've already thought of these, but Bulgakov's Heart of a Dog and Fatal Eggs leap to mind.  Also the "master breeder" in Voinovich's Chonkin.  Bogdanov's Red Star refers to Haeckel.  None of this is the mainstream stuff you asked for, of course!  --Eric

Speciation (somewhat accelerated, perhaps) is certainly a theme in 
Zamyatin's "We." 800 years of separation have worked to distinguished the 
"numbers" of the Single State from the hirsute people who live outside the 
Green Wall, albeit there are indications of cross-breeding. I-330 suggests 
this may explain D-503's hairy arms. Furthermore, Darwinist structures 
accord with the Hegelian dialectics Zamyatin espouses in his essays.

For more info on searching for housing for research trips to Russia -

PS - "Vacancies" is pretty standard in American English for "jobs offered."
I would be confused if a section for "Apts. For Rent" were labeled

Most presentations at SCLC are given in English, but may be in the native (Slavic) language of the presenter. However, if the presentation is not to be made in English we ask that you provide an abstract in English in addition to an abstract in any other SCLA language. Each presentation will be given 20 minutes and will be followed by a 10-minute discussion period.

THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE COURSE

Whether because of global energy concerns, regional and ethnic
conflicts, economic growth, migration, East-West relations, or political
unpredictability, the Eurasian space continues to attract international
attention. The International M.A. in Russian and Eurasian Studies
(IMARES) at EUSP is designed to meet this strong interest by engaging
the many analytical challenges posed therein.

The program provides training in the politics, economy, society, and
history of Russia and neighboring Eurasian states. It combines the
highest standards of teaching in English by Russian and international
faculty with the advantages of living in St. Petersburg, Russia's
cultural capital. A separate teaching module on Empire and Islam is
offered in Kazan, the city where Slavic and Turkic civilizations meet. 
We offer a comprehensive and varied curriculum.

IMARES, an advanced graduate program for students who already hold a
B.A. degree or its equivalent, offers training and research
opportunities as well as firsthand experience to get a close feel for
Russia and the many other countries in the wider region. In 1998 this
program began as M.A. in Russian Studies. By 2009 more than 200
international students have taken our Russian Studies courses and more
than 80 M.A. degrees have been awarded.

One of the advantages of IMARES is that there is no language
prerequisite whatsoever, but it does provide good quality Russian
classes for those who want to master the language (4 levels starting
from zero).

EUROPEAN UNIVERSITY AT ST. PETERSBURG

EUSP is quite unique and more high-end an institution even among the
most renowned universities in the former Soviet Union. It brings
together international state of the art research and education in social
sciences and humanities, and the best traditions of Russian scholarship.
Being one of the very few independent postgraduate colleges in Russia,
it has a tutorial style of unparalleled quality for those who really
want to advance knowledge in history, political science, anthropology,
sociology, art history and economics. EUSP's specialty is the only
fully-fledged English-language Masters program for international
students in social sciences and humanities in Russia (IMARES -
http://www.eu.spb.ru/imares). One of the best Russian and Eurasian
studies MA programs, it is complemented by other international programs
taught in English including the undergraduate semester abroad in Russian
studies (RSSA - http://www.eu.spb.ru/semester) and summer schools
(http://www.eu.spb.ru/summer).

As far as craigslist-type sites go, there is actually a craigslist St.
Petersburg, though it doesn't have too many posts, might be worth checking
out.  I've also found a lot of listings (often brokers, but some owners) on
vkontake.ru in the classifieds section. It's all in Russian, of course, but
worth a look probably.

Dear List Members,

I am making a short research trip to Prague this summer, and am looking to rent a centrally located apartment for roughly June 18-July 11. I will be traveling with my husband and our 14 month old daughter. The apartment must be non-smoking and have at least two separate rooms (our daughter goes to bed quite early!). 

Ideally we're looking to sublet from someone who's going out of town for a few weeks, but I'm also open to suggestions for reasonably priced, reliable rental agencies. 

Please e-mail rapple at uchicago.edu with any leads.

Thank you,

Does anyone have advice on obtaining reproduction rights for photographs
from Russian government archives? I am in correspondence with St
Petersburg's Kinofonofoto archive on using a selection of their pictures for
a book, and am having difficulty putting over the distinction between
obtaining physical scans of the photographs (which I have already), and the
legal right to use them. What I would love to hear is that photographs from
state archives are in the public domain, though I fear this is not the case.
Any tips would be much appreciated.

Anna, 

It is doubtful that the archive owns the rights in the first place.  Janice Pilch, at UIUC may be able to help with determining if the photos are in the public domain (which they likely are not).  The other thing to consider is whether or not your use of the photos would fall under fair use (and if you publisher, if you are publishing, would allow you to make a fair use claim) and what the risk is of using them in a scholarly publication.  If you have more questions, feel free to contact me off list.  You can also try Janice at pilch at uiuc.edu

Message-ID: <TUE.5.APR.2011.072859.0100.SEELANGS@BAMA.UA.EDU>

Dear all,


This is from Teffi's story 'Sobaka':
Чувствовала, что произошло какое-то ужасное недоразумение, но поправить уже ничего было нельзя.  Он больше не зашел. Да я и не ждала. Чувствовала, что ушел, душевно ушел — навсегда.

Does this translation seem ok? I am unsure about  "dushevno"!
There had, I felt, been a terrible misunderstanding, but it seemed quite impossible to do anything to put it right.  He didn’t call again.  Nor did I expect him to.  I felt that he had gone away, that his heart had gone away, forever.

I also wondered about something like " well and truly gone away".

All the best,

Dear Robert,

I think the 'heart' translation does the thing both in terms of the
letter (linguists will be happy with another illustration of the heart
- soul thing about English and Russian) and the sense. So I would not
look for anything else.

My two pence,
Elena Ostrovskaya.

Dear all,

One of my daughter's friends in Spb seems to be willing to give  her room for sublease for a couple of summer months (end of June - end of August). 
The apartment is located very conveniently right in downtown (Pestel' St.); the common kitchen is shared with two other neighbors, and the room was recently renovated and fully furnished.
If you have an account in VKontakte, you may contact this girl directly, at: http://vkontakte.ru/id1480362.
Otherwise, feel free to send you contacts/questions to me.

All the best,
Natalia.

Date: Tue, 5 Apr 2011 09:57:36 -0500
Subject: Workshop on Space and Circulation
Message-ID: <TUE.5.APR.2011.095736.0500.SEELANGS@BAMA.UA.EDU>

Dear Colleagues,

I write to turn your attention to a Junior Scholar Training Workshop I am co-organizing this year at the University of Illinois’s Summer Research Lab, together with Professor Kelly O’Neill of Harvard University (History).  Titled “Space and Circulation in Russian and Eurasian Studies,” this workshop will examine the methods and tools scholars are using to analyze and visualize spatial relationships, and the meaning of such relationships for history, politics, society and culture.

I would be grateful if you could forward this announcement to any and all parties you think might be interested, and ask them to contact me (jwr at illinois.edu) with any questions they might have.  A small number of travel and housing grants are available in support of the Workshop; and participants will of course have access to our library’s great resources for research, and the programming of this year’s Summer Research Lab, which promises to be particularly exciting. (The link below provides information on this  as well).

Thank you very much for your assistance and interest!  Consideration of applications will begin on April 15th.
Best wishes,

John

 

JSTW Space and Circulation in Russian and Eurasian Studies

June 13-15, 2011, University of Illinois Summer Research Laboratory in Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies (Urbana, IL)

Moderators: John Randolph, Ph.D., University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, History and Kelly O'Neill, Ph.D., Harvard University, History

Goals

This workshop will bring together scholars from a variety of disciplines who are interested in using the analysis of spatial relationships—and of the circulation of people, things and information across our geography—to discover and interpret important problems in Russian and Eurasian studies.  We will consider such topics as the potential meaning of recent literatures on space and mobility for our discipline; the variety of tools (such as Geographical Information Systems, or GIS) that scholars are using to analyze spaces and the relationships that cross them; and the question of how to frame and visualize research, in terms of space and circulation, to maximum effect.

Format

The workshop will build from a short selection of readings and web-based materials, as a basis for common discussion.  It will then revolve around presentation of participants’ ongoing research projects, focusing on the role of space and systems of circulation within them.  The moderators, who are currently working on projects imagining what GIS can tell us about the making of the Early Russian Empire, will present examples from their work. Participants will have time to consult with GIS experts at the University of Illinois Scholarly Commons; to work in the University’s famed Slavic Collections; and to attend a number of concurrent workshops and symposia, as part of the University’s Summer Lab.

For finding an apartment in St. P, I highly recommend Irina Borisova (Web site  http://www.introbyirina.com/index.html  ).
She specializes in modest apartments suitable for scholars and students rather than business people on expense accounts. The apartments are well maintained, have facilities for foreign visitors (Internet, water filters, sometimes microwaves, etc.) but not evrostandard remont (no saunas). 

She works with an number of apartment owners whom she knows well and serves as an agent (those apts are on her Web site) but she also looks through the St. P classified ads for apartments and acts as an intermediary between you and the owner. She has her own standard lease (in Russian and English) that you and the owner sign, and she backs it up if the owner decides to change the terms unexpectedly. For example, partway through my Fulbright stay in St. P in 2007-8, the owner found out that rents in our neighborhood had increased and decided it was only fair to demand a higher rent. Before things got ugly, Irina stepped in and explained that it was not possible according to the terms of the lease. 

I've recommended Irina offlist to several people who have written in asking for advice in recent years, and decided to mention her on the list because there have been so many questions about St. Petersburg housing.

Best wishes to all travelers!

Sarah Hurst

Устами младенца..... 
Говорят дети!

БЕССОННИЦА
Это может быть у невесты. Лежит она ночью и думает: "Какое у меня завтра
платье будет? Красивое или нет? А главное - какой у меня завтра муж будет?"
(Маша, 7 лет)

БОРТПРОВОДНИЦА
Она должна быть обязательно худой. А то, если она будет толстая, она
застрянет между рядами. Придется пилоту выходить и проталкивать ее по
проходу. А это не очень удобно. (Даша, 7 лет)

ВЛЮБЛЁННЫЙ
Вот, например, муж за женой ходит-ходит, глаз с нее не сводит целый день. И
тогда она начинает догадываться, что он в нее, видимо, влюблен. (Марина, 8
лет)

ЖЕНА
Это девушка, которая готовит мужчине обед, стирает белье и ухаживает за его
ребенком. (Андрей, 4 года)

МУЖ
С этим человеком сложно. Потому что с ним много хлопот.. Расходы большие...
Подвести тебя этот человек может: например, сначала он был красивый и
хороший, а после того, как ты на нем женился, стал ругучим и толстым.
(Кирилл, 7 лет)

ЖЕНИХ
Так дяденьку называют до того, как он женится. А после того, как он женится,
его уже называют другими разными словами.. (Аня, 9 лет)

ИНТУИЦИЯ
У кого она есть, тот к двери подходит и уже сразу чувствует, что за ней его
поджидают. И поэтому заранее достает пистолет, врывается и без лишних слов
начинает стрелять. (Федя, 8 лет)

КРУИЗ
После него мужчинам и женщинам часто приходится жениться. (Лена, 7 лет)

МАНЕКЕНЩИЦА
Профессия тяжелая, потому что нужно все время сидеть на диете и быстро
снимать с себя одежду. (Ира Мазунова, 9 лет)

ПОЭТ
Приходит к нему муза, а потом опять уходит. И он наполовину рад, а
наполовину расстроен. Рад - потому что она приходила, а расстроен, потому
что теперь целый год ждать, когда снова придет (Женя Новиков, 9 лет)

ПСЕВДОНИМ
Это артисты придумывают себе какое-нибудь красивое имя, чтобы в программках
писать. А у самих - некрасивое. Бывает и у писателей: они сочиняют
какие-нибудь стихи, а имя напишут другого писателя. (Женя Пак, 7 лет)

СТИРАЛЬНЫЙ ПОРОШОК
Обычно это насыпают в стиральную машину. А вот что будет, если его насыпать
в суп, я не знаю. Потому что, еще не пробовал

СЧАСТЬЕ
У детей этого половина на половину. Потому что мама то ругает, то мороженое
покупает. (Зульфия Хакимова, 8 лет)

ТЕЛЕСЕРИАЛ
Это больше всего нравится женщинам, потому что там всякие захватывающие
события происходят. Мужчин, например, убивают по нескольку штук сразу. Очень
захватывающе! (Арина, 7 лет)

ХВОСТ
Он приделан к зверям сзади. Например, корова кончается, и начинается он.
(Оля Лучкова, 4 года)

ШЕРСТЬ
У рыб этого не может быть. Потому что если они ею покроются, то им будет
очень жарко под водой плавать. (Юля Лебедева, 8 лет)

РАЗВОД
Когда женятся дают обещание молчания. А если оно не сдерживается, тогда
нужно развестись и тогда делить люстры и ножи и обычно нельзя решить кому
достанутся дети. Те кто не может решить должны обратиться к биржевому
маклеру. Он решит, что одному достанутся дети и тогда другому достанется
обеденный стол. ( Регина 7 лет )

Волосы седеют потому, что клетки мозга мнутся. (Эрланд 6 лет)

Старые тети любят смотреть на голых дядь. Они только в этом не хотят
признаваться когда их спрашивают. (Тоня 7 лет)

У мужчин есть несколько передних частей на теле. (Юля 6 лет)

Dear SEELANGStsy:

I was wondering how much success list members have had going to Russia 
with small ones in tow. I am particularly interested in maybe going for 
language training in the summer, and my little ones will be eight and 
four years old at the time. Their only language right now is English. 
General issues of concern:

a. Housing. How did your children react to the difference in housing?
b. Day care/babysitters: Did you use any? How did they work out?
c. Tutoring for the children: Did you manage to get some Russian 
tutoring on the side for your children? How did that work out?
d. Health care. Did your child get an ear infection? Strep? That rogue 
five days worth of fever virus? How did you manage?
e. Your favorite memory of having your children with you in Russia.
f. Your least favorite memory of having your children with you in Russia.

Regards
Amarilis Lugo de Fabritz

Feel free to forward the following to any appropriate forums or
individuals--thanks in advance!

Space is still available for volunteers on three Russian folklore and
ethnomusicology expeditions this summer to Siberia, Belarus and the
Rostovskaya oblast Cossacks.  Expeditions are led by Dr. Yelena Minyonok
(folklorist with the Gorky Institute of World Literature -- RAS) and
sponsored by American Friends of Russian Folklore.  

Participants are fully immersed in Russian village life as they assist with
recording, photographing and videotaping folk narratives, songs, dances and
other traditional lore.  No special training in ethnomusicology or folklore
is required.  Working languages of the expeditions are English and Russian.

This is a wonderful opportunity for students and scholars with a interest in
Russian language, village dynamics, folklore and folk music. 

Volunteers cover the costs of their own participation.  For more information see
 http://russianfolklorefriends.org/ 

or inquire at info at russianfolklorefriends.org

Dear Amarilis,
 
I went to Moscow 15 years ago when my daughter was just three.  I was planning to stay for quite some time and enrolled her in a private (Russian) detskii sad.  She spoke only English at the time, but even so managed to integrate quite well.  The level of kindness and care was excellent and the facilities very good.  The only problems, if you could use so strong a word, were food and sleep time.  But as I said we were staying for a long time, so I don't think detskii sad would be an option for a short trip and it certainly wouldn't be suitable for the 8 year-old.  It might be an idea to get in touch with the institute you're studying at and ask if they could recommend someone to take care of the kids while you are studying.  A lively young person with a good command of English could make their stay very memorable.  For such a short period of time, I wouldn't bother with any formal tuition
 
As for the other issues, my daughter did if course get sick - never anything serious and we took her to a private (Russian) clinic which was very well priced and the staff highly informative.  I found out about the clinic through word of mouth.  Again, your institute should be able to make recommendations.  There were (are) many European/American managed clinics if you want something more familiar.
 
My time there with my daughter ran to four years and the whole experience was very positive.  What we loved most were the parks, the exposure to the arts  and the fact that children were welcome almost everywhere.  Our free time was always full of things to do and the fact that children under school age are generally let into things free, is a great advantage.
 
What could be frightening is the metro.  So I'd try to avoid it with kids during peak hours.  On a positive note, someone would always give up their seat to me.  Living in a flat was probably the worst aspect as you can't open your front door and run out into the garden.
 
It will be a great adventure for your kids
 
If you want any more info, feel free to get in touch off-list

The Central/Southeast European Film & Visual Culture Symposium 2011

hosted by The Center for Slavic and East European Studies

in conjunction with the Midwest Slavic Conference

The Ohio State University
The Blackwell, Columbus, Ohio
April 15-16, 2011

The Central/Southeast European Film & Visual Culture Symposium is a recent
initiative to create a new forum for presentation and discussion of visual
texts from East-Central Europe and the Balkans, broadly defined. There is
currently no such venue or regular conference for this field of scholarship,
despite the large number of people working on such topics in the Midwest &
Great Lakes area. The Symposium will take place annually within the larger
framework of the Midwest Slavic Conference. Each year, we will highlight
film & animation, photography and multimedia art, graphic narrative &amp;
graphic design from a region that has excelled in these arts, particularly
since achieving independence after World War I. As the Symposium grows each
year, we expect to include more special events that correlate with our
academic focus, such as film screenings, exhibitions, and presentations from
artists and filmmakers.

All sessions held in Pfahl 330, except for the Friday night film screening
in Pfahl 202

FRIDAY, April 15

PANEL I: By Any Means Necessary: Romania Then and Now (8:15am-10:00am)

PANEL II: The Irreality of Everyday Life: Socialist-era Central European Film
(10:15am-12:00pm)

PANELS III & IV: 
FILM SCREENIING & ROUNDTABLE: Poland’s Invisible Others (1:15-5:00pm)

This roundtable featuring Katarzyna Marciniak (Ohio University) is inspired
by her recent book Streets of Crocodiles: Photography, Media, and
Postsocialist Landscapes in Poland (Intellect, 2011). The films screened
first provide the context for a discussion of Marciniak’s last chapter, “An
Act Against the Wall,” about the complex reception of various foreigners,
migrants and refugees in Polish society that traditionally sees itself as
ethnically and racially homogenous. Ultimately, the Polish context serves as
a platform for a larger commentary on foreignness and the responsibility
toward reimagining phobic nationalisms.

FILM SCREENING (6:00-8:00pm)
Czech Peace (Cesky mir, 2010, Czech Republic) 100 min; in Czech and English
Directed by Vit Klusak and Filip Remunda

This long-awaited follow-up to the filmmakers' hit mockumentary Czech Dream
(2005) is a documentary about the planned installation of a U.S. antimissile
system in the heart of the Czech Republic—in the very same forest where
Soviet soldiers once camped. A post-Cold War parable about Czech-American
relationships that brings the audience up close to the woods and streets
that became a battlefield, but also to the White House and the back rooms of
the Pentagon, starring Bush, Obama, and the like.

Screening made possible thanks to the support of the Czech Centre New York.
(new-york.czechcentres.cz)

*    *    *    *    *
SATURDAY, April 16

PANEL V: Packaging the Body (8:15-10:00am)

PANEL VI:  Iconography & Design (10:15am-12:00pm)

PANEL VII:  Transnational Approaches to Post-Socialist Film (1:15-3:00pm)

Hi Subhash,
C. M. Bowra (in his foreword) claims that Herbert Marhsall's translations in
*Mayakovsky* (New York: Hill and Wang, 1965) = *Mayakovsky: Poems* (London:
Dennis Dobson, 1965) sound "uncannily" like the originals. Uncannily, I
heard the same thing expressed by bilingual Russians at a paper on M. that I
recently gave in English. Marshall's translations have many errors: it seems
that he never learned Russian properly. But they are still preferable to
most other English versions -- the text simply needs correcting.
Marshall's edition is also the only one in English that treats the range of
M.'s writing, aside from the unreadable three-volume Soviet edition
(*Mayakovsky:
Selected Works in Three Volumes*, Moscow: Raduga, 1985-).
Best,
Robert Romanchuk

As long as there is a cognitive orientation, papers may be on synchronic or diachronic topics in any of the traditional areas of phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, discourse analysis, or sociolinguistics. In addition to the Slavic Languages, relevant papers on other languages of Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union are also acceptable.

Abstracts may be submitted up until the EXTENDED deadline of April 19, 2011 to sclcAbstracts at gmail.com<mailto:sclcAbstracts at gmail.com>. Abstracts should be approximately 500 words, but strict word limits are not required. Notification of acceptance will be provided by May 31, 2011. The abstract should be submitted as a word or pdf file as an attachment to an email message with “SCLC abstract submission” in the subject headline. Abstracts should be anonymous, but the author’s name, affiliation and contact information should be included in the email message.

Most presentations at SCLC are given in English, but may be in the native (Slavic) language of the presenter. However, if the presentation is not to be made in English we ask that you provide an abstract in English in addition to an abstract in any other SCLA language.

Subject: A room in Moscow this summer
Message-ID: <SAT.9.APR.2011.144506.0400.SEELANGS@BAMA.UA.EDU>

Hi all,

I'm a university student who will be in Moscow this summer. I'm
planning on being there from the end of May to the beginning of
August, although I can be a bit flexible with these dates if needed.
If you have a room to rent, or know of someone who does, I'd greatly
appreciate it if you'd contact me at thomas.luly at hws.edu.

Thanks very much!

Thomas Luly

Subject: Google Translate: "Listen"
Message-ID: <SAT.9.APR.2011.222838.0400.SEELANGS@BAMA.UA.EDU>

We've already discussed the advantages and disadvantages of Google's 
translate module, which can be brilliant at times and incredibly dumb at 
times.

Today I'd like to solicit opinions on their "Listen" buttons. If you 
haven't already played with it, there are actually two -- one below the 
input text, and one to the right of the input text. The one below 
pronounces the input text, and the one to the right pronounces the 
output (translated) text.

For those who have played around with this, I'd be interested to know 
how realistic you find the Russian pronunciations. I suspect this is 
some kind of computer-synthesized voice -- they surely haven't hired 
someone to read thousands upon thousands of utterances.

I find the intonation and pacing of sentences not very natural, but 
individual words and sounds are pretty good. What say you?

 Proposal Deadline
Message-ID: <SUN.10.APR.2011.094536.0500.SEELANGS@BAMA.UA.EDU>

Dear Colleagues,

The 2012 Annual Meeting of the American Association of Teachers of Slavic and East 
European Languages (AATSEEL) will be held in Seattle, Washington, Jan. 5-8, 2012. The 
first deadline for submission of proposals has been extended to Apr. 30, 2011. The second 
and final deadline for submission of proposals is July 1, 2011. For information about this 
meeting and details about submission procedures, please see the Call for Papers at: 
http://www.aatseel.org/cfp_main

The Program Committee invites scholars in our area to submit panel or individual 
proposals that can be posted on the AATSEEL website. Last year, we added an option to 
submit fully-formed panel proposals with a single-paragraph description. Descriptions of 
individual papers for such panels do not need to be submitted until after the panel is 
accepted. At that point, they will be due Sept. 30, 2011. The Program Committee will find 
appropriate panel placements for all accepted individual proposals. We also encourage 
proposals for other sessions, such as roundtables, forums, poster presentations, and 
workshops. 

To submit a proposal, you must be an AATSEEL member in good standing for 2011-12, or 
request a waiver of membership from the Chair of the Program Committee 
(burry.7 at osu.edu). For information on AATSEEL membership, details on conference 
participation, and guidelines for preparing proposals, please follow the links from 
AATSEEL's homepage: 

Proposals must be submitted at: http://www.aatseel.org/cfp_menu
Please contact Dianna Murphy (diannamurphy at wisc.edu) or Alexander Burry 
(burry.7 at osu.edu) if you experience any difficulties or have questions about the online 
submission system.

Please share this information with other colleagues in the field who may not be AATSEEL 
members.

Best wishes,

Message-ID: <MON.11.APR.2011.135805.0400.SEELANGS@BAMA.UA.EDU>

SEELANGers, 

 

A student of ours has asked if there are any universities in the US who
offer a strong Russian business program - one that can allow her to study
the economics, business culture, and language of Russia. 

 

While I know of several strong politics/int'l relations programs in the US
with a focus on Russia, I've heard less about int'l businesses w/ focus on
Russia. 

 

Any suggestions?

Message-ID: <MON.11.APR.2011.183632.0700.SEELANGS@BAMA.UA.EDU>

Dear Amarilis:

      I noticed your post and concern about bringing your children
with you to Russia.   I thought you might be interested in hearing
about the Educational Centre Cosmopolitan in Novosibirsk, Siberia, as
it sound as if it would be ideal for your situation and indeed for
your children in every way.  You might look at the website to see all
that it has to offer:
http://www.cosmo-nsk.com/

     Every summer Cosmopolitan runs four two week language and
cultural camps in a fine facility on the banks of the River Ob in a
beautiful location just outside Novosibirsk.   Children from all over
Siberia and some from other parts of Russia participate in these camps
led by the director and her team of both Russian and foreign teachers
and team leaders.  The children participate in daily English lessons
according to ability every morning and in the afternoons and evenings
take part in sport, art drama, swimming, and other cultural activities
with entertainment every evening in which the whole camp participates.

    We attract many university students and others from all over the
world, but especially from the USA, France, Germany and the UK.  They
attend as either students of the Russian language or as students and
volunteer teachers, thus reducing their fee.  We have a special
relationship with Cambridge University who always send excellent
student teachers to us as part of their Russian degree course.

    These students and teachers provide daily English language
lessons to our Russian children and also help with sport, run
creativity workshops.  In turn they receive three 40 minute lessons in
the Russian language daily from our native Russian teachers.

    We also attract foreign children from all over the world who are
keen to particpate in our Russian cultural programme and begin to
learn the language.

     I participated in many camps as a volunteer teacher but now as
Head of Studies,  I co-ordinate the activities of the foreign students
and teachers.  A full programme of cultural activities is organised in
the all-inclusive fee including visits to museums, the Opera House or
maybe one of the theatres in Novosibirsk.

    The students at our camps range in age from 7 to 17 and it would
seem ideal if you were to attend one or more of the the summer
seasons. The facility is very comfortable and you would not have to
worry about baby-sitting, food, housing or indeed anything, as all is
provided and in a safe environment.  Our leaders are very experienced
and we have a medical centre and doctors on hand all the time.   There
is no need to have any injections to come to Siberia as the area is
safe and free from any infections. in the very unlikely event of any
infection or accident there is a good hospital near the camp facility.

    If you were interested, I could ask our Director BODROVA Natalia
Gennadievna to get in touch with you with details of the summer
programme, costs etc.

    It would be no problem for your children in knowing no Russian as
our children are very friendly and many have good English and would
give them every opportunity of socialising and participating.  Your
eldest could live in a room with Russians of the same age, or they
might both lodge with you in your room if you preferred this.

    Your children would be given Russian lessons by a teacher
experienced in teaching small children as beginners in Russian.  You,
in turn, would receive four 40 minute lessons in Russian in a small
group according to your level and requirements.

   We could also put you in touch with families who have sent their
children to us so that you could get some understanding from them as
to how the experience has benefited their children.   Often  parents
have accompanied their children but we sometime have unaccompanied
children from the age of 10 years.  Many of our students return year
after year.

   If this sounds of interest, I hope you will contact me for further
details.   Sorry to have written at length but I wanted to try to
answer all your points.

With best wishes,

Stephen Beet

From marynka at AOL.COM  Tue Apr 12 12:49:09 2011

Subject: CFP: Slavic Languages and Literatures Panel at the 68th Annual
 South Central MLA Conference, Hot Springs, October 27-29, 2011
Message-ID: <TUE.12.APR.2011.084909.0400.SEELANGS@BAMA.UA.EDU>

Dear Colleagues,

 

The Allied Session on Slavic Languages and Literatures at the South Central
MLA Convention Hot Springs, October 27-29, 2011 still needs participants.
This year's conference theme is "Sources of Inspiration." Please send me a
proposal as soon as possible, if you are interested, since the deadline is
today.

 

>From the SCMLA web site: "Sources of Inspiration" 

Water, as we scholars know, is the source of all life and frequently its
destruction, the mythic, symbolic repository of all generative activity and
its erasure. Hot Springs, Arkansas, flows with water, the world famous
natural hot water springs for which it is named, as well as some 300 miles
of shoreline around the city via Lakes Catherine and Hamilton. Nearby are
700 miles of unspoiled shoreline on Lake Ouachita. It is fitting, then, for
scholars to come to Hot Springs, designated "City of the Arts," to consider
the nature of inspiration and creation at a true wellspring. Creativity
comes from the undoing of what is and the doing of what has not been done
before. It washes away what is known and replaces it with what may only have
been imagined. Just so in literary and language studies, we erase, undo,
remake, re-imagine. In a time when our departments in institutions of higher
learning are challenged to respond to enormous social and technological
change, to re-configure ourselves to deal with distance learning and the
delivery of online education, to deal with shifting canons, to establish
consortiums for best use of resources, to demonstrate accountability and
respect for civility, how do those of us who are the ultimate creative
communicators respond? What inspirations have come to us?

For conference details, see

Best wishes,

Message-ID: <TUE.12.APR.2011.142208.0500.SEELANGS@BAMA.UA.EDU>

Dear colleagues, 

I would like to organize a panel on cross-cultural issues. Topics covered 
might include different theoretical approaches to the subject of cross-
cultural studies (e.g.: lingvostranovedenie or Geert Hofstede�s 
framework) as well as practical aspects (how to integrate cross-cultural 
issues into language classes, etc.). Empirical studies on cross-cultural 
communication in business environments and in academic settings are 
especially welcomed. 

If you are interested, please contact me off list at elena.denisova-
schmidt at unisg.ch 

Sincerely, 
Elena Denisova-Schmidt

David Allan Lowe, born January 15, 1948, died April 9, 2011, of natural causes.  He is survived by his brother, Brian, his very dear friends, Helena Goscilo, Saul & Elizabeth Pleeter, K.C. & Mary Smythe, Bryon Davenport, and his beloved cat, Obi.  He is remembered fondly by his colleagues in the Department of Germanic & Slavic Languages at Vanderbilt University and by the hundreds of students whose lives he touched in nearly 40 years of teaching Russian at Macalester College and Vanderbilt University.  A memorial service in Nashville will be announced at a later date.

I am posting this announcement upon the request of David's friends, and I am one of his colleagues at Vanderbilt University who mourn his untimely death.
Konstantin Kustanovich

Well, this is obviously calqued straight from English coolspeak. Our 
students commonly say "to hang out" or just "hang."
You may feel you need something for the "na" part of "na forume."
  
Some examples on-line :

WITH a preposition
-a chat room where farmers can hang out
-Shaggy and Daphne fans hang out ... The owner/moderator(s) of this 
forum is solely responsible for content posted
-A chat room to hang out, make new friends and meet people from 
Argentina

TWO prepositions (yum, or semantic difference?)
-First though, why on earth would you want to hang around in our chat 
room? Well, it's fun for one thing, most of the regulars hang out 
there
-It seems that the people who actually hang out in that chat room take 
issue with all the anti-idlers hanging around

WITHOUT (less common)
-weird ppl can come an hang chat room [public] created by [...address 
removed -FR...] hey guys if your weird or just darn crazy come and 
hang or chat here!

I think the hang outs have it.
If your translation is more literary and you want to be consistent you 
could say "spend time on."

With respect, I don't think this is calqued from English at all.  I would interpret it as an extension of the long-standing phrase висеть на телефоне [viset' na telefone], whereas English 'hang out', hang about',  are an extension of the phrase 'hang about on street corners etc'.    In other words the Russian focuses on the length of time, while the main focus of the English is on the aimlessness (in the greater scheme of things) of the action.  For that reason I would go for something like:
They spend all their time on Russian-language forums.

A common slang term is 'to lurk,' although I think it implies someone (a
'lurker') who is always online but posts little.

Message-ID: <THU.14.APR.2011.195427.0000.SEELANGS@BAMA.UA.EDU>

Music in the Foreign Language Curriculum
Workshop for teachers
Indiana University-Bloomington
June 24-25, 2011

In this workshop, Dr. Laurie Iudin-Nelson will lead teachers in exploring  theoretical and practical questions that pertain to the use of music in teaching foreign languages, with particular emphasis on the development of speaking, listening, writing, and reading skills within the National Standards in Foreign Language Education 5Cs framework for foreign language education (Communication, Culture, Connections, Comparisons, Communities).

Dr. Laurie Iudin-Nelson chairs the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures and directs the Russian Program at Luther College in Decorah, Iowa. A prominent specialist on music in foreign language pedagogy, she has also led the Luther College Balalaika Ensemble since 1992. Dr. Iudin-Nelson served for many years as a teacher and dean at Lesnoe Ozero, the summer Russian-language camp at Concordia Language Villages in Bemidji, Minnesota.  In the summer of 2010, she returned to Lesnoe Ozero as a facilitator/presenter in the "Second Language and Immersion Methodologies for Russian Teachers" program, a two-week graduate level course for in-service K-12 Russian teachers, funded by a National Foreign Language Center STARTALK grant.


The workshop is free and open to all in-service and pre-service teachers at any level (pre-school, K-12, college/university). Travel fellowships to the workshop are available to pre-college (pre-school or K-12) Russian teachers. The fellowships will cover the cost of round-trip and ground transportation between the teacher's home and Indiana University-Bloomington, one night's accommodation, and a per diem to offset meal expenses. Preference will be given to applicants who currently teach at schools in Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Ohio, and Michigan, but all are encouraged to apply. To submit an application, please write Mark Trotter at martrott at indiana.edu<mailto:martrott at indiana.edu>. Deadline for application: May 15.



Held in conjunction with the Indiana University Summer Workshop in Slavic, East European, and Central Asian Languages (http://www.indiana.edu/~swseel/) and sponsored by the Indiana University Russian and East European Institute (http://www.indiana.edu/~reeiweb/).

Отмороженный means wierd in English, implying the person does not want to deal or associate with something or somebody. Note: the word мороз comes from Greek. The literal English equivalent for it is morose.

    Sorry, it's always a temptation to look for etymological conections when you see similar-looking forms.  But Slavic мьрз-, мороз- / мраз- /(mьrz-, moroz- / mraz- ) doesn't come from Greek.  It was inherited along with all the rest of the Slavic heritage from Indo-European, and has relatives in Germanic and Albanian, inter alias.
    And Engl. morose has nothing to do with it.  The latter comes straight from Lat. morosus, derived with the productive suffix -os-us from the stem mos (gen. moris) 'habit, custom', cf. moral, morale.

There must be a typo here -- English "weird" has nothing to do with 
отмороженный or with unwillingness to socialize. As used in contemporary 
American English, it's something like странный, непонятный, причудливый, 
фантастический. In the mouth of a person who favors conformity, it can 
be pejorative ("he has some weird ideas so I avoid him"), but for most 
it just means something's off the beaten track, highly unusual or different.

What word did you have in mind? "Aloof," "stand-offish," "reclusive"?

Dear SEELANGERS,

We realize that because of the special module in the city of Kazan running earlier this year, European University at Saint Petersburg will be able to finish the IMARES and MARCA admission process only after that.  Despite the competition is already high, we think that we should inform you that the application deadline has been moved to 23 May.  This will give a chance to apply to those who think that they are late.

With best wishes,
Sergey Erofeev (erofeev at eu.spb.ru)

Important update about study in St. Petersburg

Deadline for applications: 23 May 2011 for
http://www.eu.spb.ru/IMARES and 
http://www.eu.spb.ru/MARCA


Apart from continuing to offer its famous one-year MA in Russian and Eurasian Studies to international students (IMARES), the European University at St. Petersburg is starting a new MA program in Russian Culture and the Arts (MARCA) with a special introductory fee.  The teaching is done in English with Russian language training provided at different levels.  The deadline for both MARCA and IMARES is 23 May to enroll from September 2011.  The tuition is $15,000 for IMARES and $10,500 for MARCA.  If the applicant is currently enrolled in another program and would like to join one of the programs for a semester, the fee will be half of the respective figure.  There are various opportunities for getting financial aid (http://www.eu.spb.ru/finaid) including the partial EUSP scholarships for qualified applicants.

The excellent news for American applicants is that the European University at St. Petersburg has just become the first university in Russia which is approved for the US Federal Direct Loans scheme (http://www.eu.spb.ru/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3217&Itemid=524).  This is open for IMARES now and will be open for MARCA in a year. 

Kind regards,

It may not be as simple as that.  Mokienko and Nikitina's Большой словарь русского жаргона gives five meanings for отмороженный:
1. Хитрый
2. Странный
3. Глупый, недалекий, неразвитый в эмоциальном и интеллектуальном плане
4. Наглый
5. Не признающий правил, авторитетов, не боящийся опасности, безрассудный и беспощадный

Weird would cover meaning 2 (and was the word that came into my mind when I read the original query).  None of these meanings, however, seems to imply an unwillingness to socialise, though I dare say that few would wish to spend too much time socialising with people displaying some of the above characteristics.  Perhaps, as has happened with other жаргон words, the meaning has shifted somewhat as the word has gained respectability.

There must be a typo here -- English "weird" has nothing to do with
отмороженный or with unwillingness to socialize. As used in contemporary
American English, it's something like странный, непонятный, причудливый,
фантастический. In the mouth of a person who favors conformity, it can
be pejorative ("he has some weird ideas so I avoid him"), but for most
it just means something's off the beaten track, highly unusual or different.

What word did you have in mind? "Aloof," "stand-offish," "reclusive"?

Miriam Kazanjian, who lobbies for Title VI and Fulbright in DC, sent out the
following useful message to the Title VI Language Resource Centers two days
ago. It contains good background, a suggestion for action to be taken, and
suggested language for floor statements that could be requested from your
Representative. I get the sense that it's not entirely too late to take
action because the Secretary of Education ultimately decides how cuts to
Title VI will take shape. I work for an NRC in East Asian Studies, but that
doesn't mean that I don't have a steep learning curve when it comes to
politics - it's hard to say where it really stands at the moment - but Ms.
Kazanjian offers some good suggestions and language for correspondence with
the powers-that-be - it may not be too late. Also for what it's worth, our
center's FLAS funding for next year has already been approved. So those
undergraduate and graduate students to whom we awarded FLAS money will be
funded for the next fiscal year at U.Va. Staff in our NRC, however, could be
a different story.

>From Miriam Kazanjian on Wednesday:
-----------------------
Please see the list of cuts on the House Appropriations Committee website,
which hasn't changed much since yesterday:
http://appropriations.house.gov/_files/41211ProgramCutsListFinalFY2011CR.pdf



International and foreign language education is still slated for a $50
million or 40% cut, plus another 0.2% across-the-board cut, according to the
House.  The Senate's position is that because of the way the CR bill is
written, it will be up to the Secretary of Education to decide how much
Title VI will be cut.   Keep in mind that the overall cut to higher
education is over $800 million, which is huge and does not include student
aid programs.   ED must find this amount to cut from a small array of
programs, including Title VI/FH.  Moreover, there is a difference of opinion
within ED as to whether they are REQUIRED to cut $50 million or not under
the CR bill, pending review.

It is still important to see if any of your Congressional Members would be
willing to make a floor statement during debate on the CR (tomorrow or
Friday, not sure exactly when debate will be yet). The CR is expected pass
by Friday when the current CR expires.

Below are a couple of paragraphs I drafted that could be used (please feel
free to edit).

The reason floor statements are important is to demonstrate that there is
strong support in this Congress as the Secretary of Ed. decides how this
will be interpreted.

Let me know if you need any assistance.  It's important not to stand down on
this!

With thanks and regards,
Miriam

"The nation's success in the 21st century depends on Americans with global
competence, including foreign language skills, the ability to understand and
function in different cultural environments, and international business
skills.  The U.S. Department of Education's HEA-Title VI and Fulbright-Hays
programs are the federal government's most comprehensive investment in
creating and maintaining the nation's global competence needed for national
security, defense, foreign policy, economic competitiveness, and mutual
understanding.  This array of programs supports activities to improve our
capabilities throughout the educational pipeline, from K-12 outreach through
graduate education and advanced research, with emphasis on the less
commonly-taught languages and areas of the world.  Most of these programs
and activities would not exist without federal support, especially at a time
when state and local governments, and institutions of higher education also
are financially strapped."

"Shortly after 9-11 and in the face of continuing shortages of Americans
with foreign language skills and area expertise, Congress began to provide
targeted enhancements to Title VI/FH focusing on strategic world areas and
cultures.  Today the House is proposing to cut these programs by 40%,
completely rolling back a decade of enhancements that address critical
national security and economic competitiveness needs.   While the
Labor/HHS/ED budget is cut only 3.3% under the FY 2011 CR, this
disproportionate 40% cut would be devastating to these small and effective
programs. It's my understanding that the Secretary of Education has the
discretion to reject or reduce these cuts to Title VI/FH for FY 2011, and I
encourage him to do so."

I'm sorry to butt in, but "отмороженный" has nothing to do with 1 and very
little with 2, 4, 5.  "Otmorozhennyj" is a person who doesn't understand
simple things and concepts, like human emotions, for example.  And could
possibly commit any cruelty without any special emotional pain.  Someone who
"doesn't get it."

"Aloof," "stand-offish," "reclusive" fit, except that none of these are
slang and don't have the pejorative connotations of "отмороженный."

I would suggest "a psycho," i.e. someone who can do a crazy thing without
understanding its craziness.

Best,
S.

Out of total 7 examples in Oral corpus, 3 are на всю голову  
отмороженные.

The main corpus has a number examples as well (that is in the Oral  
corpus, only the slang meaning, while in the main corpus the old  
traditional meaning as well can be found):

мужчина. Тот самый, который собрался со

пороге, стряхивая с себя сон… [Все

I dare Mr. Mokienko to find an example where отмороженный  
means хитрый or even странный.

Russian Internet is lazily discussing the image of Russians depicted in the 
book:
Сергеева А.В. Какие мы, русские? (100 вопросов - 100 ответов). Книга для чтения 
о русском национальном характере. - М., 2006.  


http://www.mdk-arbat.ru/bookcard?book_id=2404583(recommended for foreigners! 
Рубрика: Русский язык для иностранцев)

One of the issues is that it is considered to be 
russo-phobichttp://www.inright.ru/news/nation/20110318/id_6954/but still advised 
for reading by Russian consulates abroad (http://isr.rs.gov.ru/node/645)
I think this may be interesting for SEELANGers.
P.S. the topic may become too hot before the elections though, as a comment to 
another book shows http://origin.svobodanews.ru/content/blog/2344502.html

Dear all,



I would like to bring to your attention the following link on the Pushkin family Boldino estate:



http://rbth.ru/articles/2011/04/13/boldino_a_haven_for_russias_greatest_poet_12719.html



The essay and the slide show is by a fellow American Russist, Professor Bill Brumfield, whose beautiful contributions to the field I have watched for some years now. Those who are interested in the whole series may want to check out this website:

http://rbth.ru/discovering_russia



It has been a while since I discovered the Russia outside Moscow and SPb, and Bill's slides capture the beauty of places unknown to most scholars and students working in the field. Traveling in Russia is not easy. Bill has done it for the rest of us putting these sights at "just a click away".

Message-ID: <MON.18.APR.2011.161906.0400.SEELANGS@BAMA.UA.EDU>

Dear Colleagues,

For a text I'm translating about the Makovskii brothers, I'm hoping there is a standard translation for Egor Ivanovich's (their father's) position and place of employment in Moscow in the first half of the 19th century:

"Otets--Egor Ivanovich Makovskii potomstvennyi, no nebogatyi dvorianin byl sluzhashchim moskovskoi dvortsovoi kontory."

Is a sluzhashchii specifically a clerk or just an unspecified employee? For the place of employment I'm coming up with the Moscow administrative offices of the Imperial court, but hoping there is a succint standard translation.

Any advice would be most welcome.

Gratefully,
Margaret Samu

Dear SEELANGERs,

 

I am looking for any updated feedback on processing times for Russian
student visas when processing them in Europe - specifically as concerns
Americans. We are aware that the consulates in Europe have relaxed about the
residency requirement when it comes to the student visas, but we are hoping
there are some consulates that do not take the full 14 business days for
processing. We should have feedback on a few consulates by summer, and we
have heard that Helsinki is quoting 14 business days. Any recent reporting
on this situation will be greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks!

Dear SEELANGers--
I have successfully thought myself into a corner and must ask for assistance. 
I'm translating a Ukrainian text set during and immediately after WWII and 
dealing specifically with the Ukrainian Insurgent Army. If anyone can recommend 
a good English-language resource for military terminology, that would be great, 
but I think I can manage that with the patchwork of sources I've found. My 
problem is with another concept. 

Stanytsia (станиця) and stanychnyj (станичний) come up several times in the 
text, and I understand them to refer to the civil administration, i.e. stanytsia 
being a local unit of UIA/OUN-run civil administration and stanychnyj being its 
main representative. Now all I need are one-word translations for both. Any 
ideas? Am I wrong in my understanding of the terms? 


Thanks to everyone in advance!

Dear colleagues,



Could you suggest some sources on the representation of Ukraine and Ukrainians in Russian (Soviet/post-Soviet) culture?  A historical overview would be great; or a good article on recent portrayals of Ukranians in Russian literature and the media, including TV "serialy."



One of my students is writing on the differences between Fran and Vika in the US and Russian versions of "The Nanny."  He read Stephen Hutchings and Natalia Rulyova's Chapter on 'My Fair Nanny" in _Television and Culture in Putin's Russia: Remote Control_ and wants to explore the issue further.



Thank you!

Dear SEELANGers,

I have a question which may or may not grow into a research project, but 
I thought I would seek the wisdom of your collective experience out of 
my own curiosity.  For those of you who teach literature and/or culture 
courses, whether in the original or in translation, do you teach Dr. 
Zhivago, and if so, how do you use it in your classes?  I know that is a 
terribly broad question, but I'd like to leave that last bit open to 
your interpretation.  And if there is any particular reason why you 
don't teach it, I'd be interested to hear that as well.

Please reply off-list to jessica.brandt at montclair.edu.  Any thoughts 
will be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,
Jessica Brandt

Subject: Debates around animal rights in 19th-century Russia?
Message-ID: <WED.20.APR.2011.121555.0500.SEELANGS@BAMA.UA.EDU>

A student of mine had an interesting question about debates on animal rights 
in 19th-century Russia.

Does anyone out there have any information about this?

Here's the question: 

"I had a brief contextual question about Russian culture and history. As we 
have seen throughout War and Peace, there have been continual links between 
humanity and some perceived connection with animal physiognomy. In the 
opening lines of part four, Tolstoy makes this connection more explicit as he 
describes: "When a man sees a dying animal, horror comes over him: that 
which he himself is, his essence, is obviously being annihilated before his 
eyes--is ceasing to be. But when the dying one is a person, and a beloved 
person, then, besides a horror at the annihilation of life, there is a feeling of 
severance and a spiritual wound which, like a physical wound, sometimes kills 
and sometimes heals, but always hurts and fears any external, irritating 
touch." (1075). While Tolstoy does seem to draw a distinction between harm 
to an animal and to a human, he makes a connection explicit and blurs the 
boundaries between the empathy for man and empathy for animals. In 
England, leading up to the abolition of Slavery in 1833, there were concerted 
efforts on the part of animal-rights activists to analogize the emancipation of 
slaves with the necessity for protections against animal cruelty. Is there any 
sort of similar movement or debate in Russia surrounding the end of serfdom 
and a correlation with Tolstoy's seeming call for animal-rights?"

Thank you!

Dear Amanda,

Your student may be interested in reading Tolstoy's Kholstomer (Strider), which he wrote in 1863, just after the emancipation, though it was not published until later (1886).

I understand this is rather late notice, but, given the deadline

Dear Nina,

It would appear that the author you are translating knows little about the history of the period.
This is what I received from the historians:
(1) The OUN and UPA (UIA) were different organizations and they should never be combined as OUN-UPA or UPA/OUN.
(2) The UPA (UIA) was not subordinated to the OUN.
(3) The UPA (UIA) did not have an administrative structure. It had a military structure, which was
as follows: Lanka (usually 5 men servicing a machine gun); Rii (squad); Chota (Platoon); Sotnia (Company), Kurin' 
(Battalion); Zahin (Division) etc.  At the top, the UPA had a HVSh (Holovnyi viis'kovyi shtab).

(4) The OUN administration was as follows: Stanytsia; Kushch (several Satnytsias); Raion (several Kushchi); Nadraion (several raiony-but this was not universal); Oblast (several raiony or nadraiony); Krai (several oblasti or in some cases several Nadraiony).  At the top, the OUN had a Biuro Provodu OUN.
  The SKV-Samooboronnyi Kushchovyi Viddil (Kushch Selfdefense UNIT) was subordinated to OUN.

(5) In the historical literature STANYTSIA is  translated as Stanytsia. Stanychnyi is the Head or leader or kerivnyk of a Stanytsia. In the underground this was the lowest organizational, administrative unit of the OUN. 

There is plenty of literature published by reputable historians and eyewitnesses, which you might wish to consult and cite.  You might begin with Litopys UPA:   http://www.litopysupa.com/main.php?pg=0  
Professor Peter Potichny (Emeritus) of McMaster is the preeminent historian of the UPA (UIA) on this continent.

Dr. Pylypiuk -- 
this is very helpful. 
I should clarify that the OUN/UPA linkage stems from my own confusion, not the 
author's. I was not sure whether all terms related to UPA, or if I had to look 
in both places, so I combined the terms in my inquiry (although of course I know 
they were two different organizations). The Litopys you reference is a 
tremendous resource--I have scoured the web and my own university's library in 
vain for anything like that. 


Many, many thanks. 

Nina

Dear SEELANGers,

This past February, the Center for Russian and East European Studies (CREES) at the University of Pittsburgh hosted a symposium entitled "African-American Perspectives on Russian and Slavic Studies." Featured speakers included African-American scholars presenting their current research in Russian literature, high school teachers of Russian working with predominately African-American student populations, and African-American faculty and researchers discussing their experiences as underrepresented minorities in the former Soviet Union. The symposium generated thoughtful discussion on the challenges faced by students and teachers of color studying and traveling in Slavic countries as well as working as minorities in the field of Slavic Studies itself.

Shortly after the symposium, several of the participants felt that it would an important contribution to the field to set up a professional organization to continue the discussions that originated at the symposium and to bring more visibility to the issues faced by minorities in Slavic Studies. As such, we have expanded the organization to include not only African-Americans, but people of color in general working in the field.  We hope that this group, The Association for Students and Teachers of Color in Slavic Studies, will serve as an important resource for the entire Slavic community as we all seek to attract more minority students to our discipline.  

We have recently been approved as an ASEEES affiliate organization and will be having our first official meeting at the 2011 ASEEES convention in Washington D.C. If you are interested in becoming a member of the organization and/or would like to attend our meeting this year, please contact me. My name is Jennifer Wilson. I am a graduate student in the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures at Princeton University, and I am pleased to be the first president of the Association for Students and Teachers of  Color in Slavic Studies. For now, there are no membership dues, but we will be asking anyone attending our ASEEES meeting to contribute a small fee to cover meal costs. For your reference, our mission statement, complete officer list, as well as our membership requirements are outlined below.

Sincerely,

Jennifer Wilson
Princeton University

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Seelangers, 

 

I’ve recently come across another prikol on line – this one a language application that seems interesting. 

 

Pluses – it can take a Russian text, add stress marks, and allow the stressed text to be easily copy-and-pasted back out. It will also highlight all cases of past tense verbs, participles, femine nouns – basically whatever you ask it for. It seems to be very accurate in terms of identifying grammar and placing stress. The interface is also such that you can get hang of it by just clicking around. 

 

Minuses – it has a “translation” feature that it would probably be better without (the programmers actually admit it’s a weak point – but I would take it out and perhaps add it back in when it could be done better). The operating file is also huge, takes awhile to install, and takes a while to analyze a text it’s given… 

 

I’d be interested to hear other opinions of this – I’m still poking at it. :-)  You can download a full trial version (20 days free) here: http://www.grammatica.eu/Shop

 

There is also a video here that explains what it does (although it would seem that skype integration is not yet in the features of this release). http://www.grammatica.eu/

Dear Seelangers, 

I work for the company that develops Grammatica. I'd like to apologize for
the incomplete translation feature - we still need some more time to improve
the quality of the translations. We are planning to push some updates to our
application in the coming weeks and we are hoping to address this problem.

We will post a new promo video on our website in the next few days. Skype
support and playback of audio files isn't included in the current release,
but these feature will be included in subsequent updates. We are actually
hoping to build a system that would allow you to use Grammatica in any
application with a text input field.  

http://www.grammatica.eu/

I would love to hear any feedback that you might have about our
application. Feel free to email me at vlad at grammatica.eu or just reply to my
post on this list.

Best regards,

Vlad

Subject: Seeking a Participant for a Roundtable on Soviet & Post-Soviet
 Masculinities (AATSEEL '12)
Message-ID: <THU.21.APR.2011.092615.0800.SEELANGS@BAMA.UA.EDU>

Dear SEELANGers,

We are planning to organize a roundtable on Soviet and Post-Soviet masculinities at AATSEEL and have room for one more participant.  The time span covered by the roundtable is from the Brezhnev period to the Medvedev administration. Topics will range from the archetype of the "weak," ineffectual late Soviet man in nonconformist literature to the construction of post-Soviet masculinity as a double bind in film and to the cultural narratives of the Soviet -- Afghan war, with a focus on how representations of masculinity have shifted since the US-led invasion in 2001 and the beginning of the Putin era.  Participants include Lilya Kaganovsky (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign), Brian Baer (Kent State University), Connor Doak (Northwestern University) and Olga Livshin (University of Alaska, Anchorage). We are open to dialogue about the thematic focus of the roundtable.  To join the roundtable, please contact us off-list at afol at uaa.alaska.edu or c-doak at northwestern.edu. !
 The deadline to submit the roundtable proposal is April 30.

All the best,
Olga Livshin

Subject: UPDATE: Summer Courses at EUSP, St. Petersburg - July 2011
Message-ID: <FRI.22.APR.2011.163524.0400.SEELANGS@BAMA.UA.EDU>

Dear friends, this is to answer some regular QUESTIONS about 
----------The SUMMER COURSES-----------
conducted by the European University at St. Petersburg on 2-29 July 2011.
<<<<<<<<<  http://www.eu.spb.ru/summer >>>>>>>>>>
-----------imares at eu.spb.ru------------

ACCOMMODATION in St. Petersburg:
- The news is that now the European University has one more student apartment and it is possible that everyone will be provided with a single room at no extra cost!  It is still within walking distance from both the university and Nevsky Prospect, very central.


APPLICATION DEADLINE:
- Some people ask whether the deadline for applications could be extended.  The answer is YES for those who live in the European Union, because the visa invitation process has become much faster.  Those who live in France, Germany, Italy, Poland etc. can get the invitation as late as 20 June to get the visa in time.  We do recommend, however, that at least the application form (attached) is submitted much earlier.
- The speedy procedure does not apply to applications from Britain and Sweden although it is still the EU.  For them, like for those from the USA, Canada or Switzerland the process takes 30 days of the invitation preparation only not counting the mailing time and the time to deal with the Russian consulate.  So the deadline for applicants from these countries cannot be moved till later than 23 May.
- The applications are to be emailed to imares at eu.spb.ru.


THE COURSES DISTRIBUTION remains the same
- Russian language takes 50% of the study load.  The rest is taught in English by the internationally leading professors in the field.
- The courses' descriptions can b seen at http://www.eu.spb.ru/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1189&Itemid=472&lang=en 


THE COST 
- This is not going to change and will remain the same as last year. The fee for the full four weeks inclusive of accommodation, cultural program, airport transfers, meals on class days, etc is $4,000.  There is also the 'tuition only' option with the fee of $2,500. 
- 'Tuition only' option can be used if the student has the visa, a place to stay and arranges for their own meals and, if needed, a cultural program.


MA, BA, mature students?
- Both MA and BA students are eligible to apply.
- Mature students have been a great part of our schools.

We will be happy to answer more questions.  These are just those that have been repeating.

The other programs which might interest you or people you know are:
- The Undergaduate Spring Semester in Russia (USSR - http://www.eu.spb.ru/semester), a BA module.
- The new MARCA Master's program (MA in Russian Culture and the Arts - http://www.eu.spb.ru/marca, with the introductory tuition discount)
- The famous IMARES graduate program (International MA in Russian and Eurasian Studies - http://www.eu.spb.ru/imares)

We will be happy to answer your further questions.

With our best wishes,

Subject: Zelenin's version of "Po shchuchemu veleniyu"  (Skazki Vyatskoi
 gubernii, no. 23
Message-ID: <FRI.22.APR.2011.223943.0100.SEELANGS@BAMA.UA.EDU>

Dear all,

This version is very vivid indeed, but full of difficulties - dialect words, obscenities, etc. 

The tale begins with Omelyanushko (as he is called here) lying on the stove, surrounded by piles of his own turds.  Later, when the tsar first sends soldiers to fetch him and the soldiers ask if he is at home, he replies, 'Doma!  Na pechke lezhu, komy glozhu.'  I assume he is saying he is eating his own shit.

Then the tsar sends a second regiment of soldiers.  Omelya replies, 'Дома! на печке лежу, колпака не валяю!  видал, да редко мигал!  Некого не боюся!' ('Doma! na pechke lezhu, kolpaka ne valyayu!... vidal, da redko migal!  Nekogo ne boyusya!') 
I understand "колпака не валяю!" as meaning something like 'I don't doff my cap to anyone.'  Is that right?  But I do not understand "видал, да редко мигал!"  

Later, he goes to the tsar's palace and the tsarevna (rather surprisingly called Marya Chernyavka ??!!) falls in love with him.  The soldiers tell the tsar that she is not eating or drinking, just weeping... "кисейны рукава затирает, свои глаза доводит."  

What is she doing with her sleeves?  Is she rubbing her eyes to dry her tears and somehow making them sore?

All the best,

Robert

The second paragraph of this skazka is difficult to convey in English.

I might repeat "without children" before "all one feels is shame." The repetition helps convey the rhythm of the passage. Moreover, the occurrence of things three times (here the word "дети") is an important element of folklore.

For nearly five years the husband and wife lived in harmony in every  
way, but they had no children and one can't live without children, it  
is shameful to live without children.

Robert,

Your first message:

The tale begins with Omelyanushko (as he is called here) lying on the 
stove, surrounded by piles of his own turds.

Later, when the tsar first sends soldiers to fetch him and the soldiers 
ask if he is at home, he replies, ‘Doma!  Na pechke lezhu, komy 
glozhu.'  I assume he is saying he is eating [better: nibbling] his own 
shit.

    Alternative faint possibility of sarcasm: in Pskov’ dialect (and
    perhaps elsewhere) komy are the pastry birds (zhavoronki) eaten on
    the feast of the Forty Martyrs of Sebaste (9 March) See Dal’, s.v.
    Kom”. However, Pskov’ is a long way from Viatka.

Then the tsar sends a second regiment of soldiers.  Omelyan replies, 
'Дома! на печке лежу, колпака не валяю! Некого не боюся!' ('Doma! 
napechke lezhu, kolpaka ne valyayu!... vidal, da redko migal!  Nekogo ne 
boyus ya!')

I understand "колпака не валяю!" as meaning something like 'I don't doff 
my cap to anyone.'  Is that right?

    Probably same as “duraka ne valiaiu”, i.e.”I am not playing the
    fool” (Dal’, s.v. kolpa, gives kolpak chelovek = prostak), otherwise
    perhaps literally and sarcastically “I am not making a cap!”
    (valiat’ is the felting process in making hats). The hero is after
    all known as “Emel’an-durak, krasnyi kolpak”.

But I do not understand "видал, да редко мигал!" видал, даредкомигал!

      A saying = “I am not scared” see similar in Dal’ s.v. migat’ and
    specimens on Yandex.

Later, he goes to the tsar's palace and the tsarevna (rather 
surprisingly called Marya Chernyavka ??!!) falls in love with him.  The 
soldiers tell the tsar that she is not eating or drinking, just 
weeping... "кисейны рукава затирает, свои глаза доводит."

What is she doing with her sleeves?  Is she rubbing her eyes to dry her 
tears and somehow making them sore?

Probably yes – dovodit’ = portit’ see Dal’, s.v.

________________________________________________________________________

Your second message:


Всем жили ладно муж с женой и прожили лет пять без малого, да не было у 
них детей, а без детей жить нельзя, без детей совестно.

For five years the husband and wife lived in harmony in every way , but 
they had no children and a life without children is no life at all; all 
one feels is shame.  ??

    Should be "for almost five years" [bez malogo] and delete "in every way"
    The last bit is perhaps a little too strong - the original doesn't
    say you should feel shame about everything, only about not having
    children – the Russian seems quite conversational; perhaps “you’ld
    be ashamed not to have children” or “you really can’t not have
    children”.

Regards,
Will

Subject: SRAS Announces $10,000 Scholarship
Message-ID: <SUN.24.APR.2011.004802.0400.SEELANGS@BAMA.UA.EDU>

The SRAS Home and Abroad Program
A scholarship program for future translators, academics, and adventurers!
More information: http://www.sras.org/home_and_abroad_scholarship 


The SRAS Home and Abroad Program offers $10,000 to students who want to
build translation, writing, research, and language skills at home and
abroad. The scholarship may be applied to any SRAS program held in Irkutsk
or Vladivostok lasting a full academic year. A rigorous internship component
will be included with the program.


The Internship

Students begin their internship from home. Under the guidance of SRAS staff,
students will translate texts ranging in subject matter from business to
politics to culture. These projects will widen students' Russian
vocabularies while helping them develop a marketable skill in a much-needed
profession. Students will continue translating once in Russia and will also
take on tasks that will encourage them to get out, explore, and be active.
Students will write restaurant and cultural event reviews for the SRAS
website, as well as update our online city guide and our student university
guide. Students additionally will research and write three three-page
articles and complete one major translation project (usually a political
platform) during the course of their program. Most of the student's work
will be published online on SRAS.org and/or our partners' sites, creating a
solid professional portfolio. 


The Program

Eligible programs for this scholarship include full-year sessions of Russian
as a Second Language (RSL), The Russian Far East (RFE), and Siberian Studies
(SS). If the student selects RFE or SS, the internship listed for the second
semester will be with SRAS but will include additional tasks related to
Siberia or the Russian Far East.


Program Dates

Applications Due: May 13, 2010!
Internship from Home Begins: June 1
Program Abroad Begins: September 5

Subject: Skazki: Platonov, Zelenin, Balashov
In-Reply-To: <4DB2ED79.7090200@sas.ac.uk>
Message-ID: <MON.25.APR.2011.070538.0100.SEELANGS@BAMA.UA.EDU>

THANK YOU  to everyone who replied to my questions about the Platonov and Zelenin skazki!

Here is what we have ended up with for the Platonov sentence.  As several people have said, it is important to keep the casual, "taken-for-granted" tone of all this, so it seems best not to use the word "shame", which is rather different from 'sovestno.

For nearly five years the husband and wife lived in harmony in every way, but they had no children and one can’t live without children, a life without children is no life at all.
Всем жили ладно муж с женой и прожили лет пять без малого, да не было у них детей, а без детей жить нельзя, без детей совестно.
					*

There is a striking skazka from a collection by Balashov.  A young lad who pinches a girl's breast in the bathhouse.  She tells him to come round in the evening.  Then she turns him into a stallion..  She rides him all night; 40 other girls are doing something similar to other lads.  The next night (following advice from his stepmother) he manages to outwit her and turn her into a horse.  He rides her.  Then they argue about who has been riding whom!

It is included by Haney in his COMPLETE RUSSIAN FOLKTALE, But there are some sentences I  still cannot make sense of.  This is from near the beginning. The girl tells the young lad to call round.  
	Попил, поел, нарядился.  Вот подходит, а там уже на конях сидят.  Она его из бани плеткой ударила:
	- Был молодец, стань жеребец!
	Села и поехала.  Сорок их на поле съехалось, девиц этих на таких жеребцах.  И скачут, колько какая может какого ударить, какой бойчее всех.

1. из бани: Is it SHE who comes out of the bathhouse?  Or is it more that she taken the whip from there?
2. More importantly, the last sentence entirely defeats me.  I cannot fit together the  какая ... какого ...какой 

All the best,

Robert

Dear Robert,


On the bathhouse fairytale:

> 1. из бани: Is it SHE who comes out of the bathhouse?  Or is it more that she taken the whip from there?

I think she was kind of hiding in the banya and as he came round she
stroke him with the whip from [her hiding place in] the banya.

> 2. More importantly, the last sentence entirely defeats me.  I cannot fit together the  какая ... какого ...какой

It is another elliptic sentence. The girls are competing in 1) how
many times each of them can strike her stallion and 2) whose stallion
is faster. The full original sentence would be something like this:
 И скачут, [соревнуясь в том], [с]колько какая [из них] может какого
[жеребца = своего жеребца] ударить, какой [жеребец] бойчее всех
>

Best,
Elena Ostrovskaya

Dear Colleagues,

This new Web site recently posted on an art history list may be of interest to those involved with GIS and other geographically specific research. The only Slavic-related project so far is Mapping St. Petersburg, but the organizers do seem interested in connecting with more projects.

==================================================

Over the past two years, with generous support from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Scholars’ Lab at the University of Virginia Library has hosted an Institute for Enabling Geospatial Scholarship. Today we're pleased to announce the launch of "Spatial Humanities," a community-driven resource for place-based digital scholarship:

http://spatial.scholarslab.org/

This site responds to needs identified in conversation with our 21 Institute faculty members and 56 participants (humanities scholars, software developers, and map & GIS librarians). It includes:

* an evolving, crowdsourced catalog of research resources, projects, and organizations;
* a set of framing essays on the spatial turn across the disciplines by Dr. Jo Guldi of the Harvard Society of Fellows;
* GIS-related feeds from Q&A sites and other forms of social media;
* and a peer-reviewed, occasional publication for step-by-step tutorials in spatial tools and methods.

Please help us keep this resource current by contributing to it! You can:

* use Zotero to freely upload research citations, projects, and links to groups;
* contribute your own tutorials and helpsheets in “Step By Step” format for peer review and formal publication;
* adopt the #geoinst hashtag on Twitter and Delicious;
* ask related questions and offer help on DH Answers or the GIS Stack Exchange;
* and post your commentary on the essays we’ve shared.

Learn more about our NEH Institute:

http://spatial.scholarslab.org/about/

and about how you can contribute to the "Spatial Humanities" site:

http://spatial.scholarslab.org/contribute/

With thanks to the NEH, the staff of the Scholars’ Lab, our Institute advisory board and faculty, and the scores of Institute participants and fellows who helped to define the project,

Dear SEELANGers,

 

One of my second-year Russian students would like to begin
studying Serbian on his own in the coming months.  His summer schedule will not permit him to
enroll in an intensive program, and so he would like recommendations for
effective Serbian (or BCS) study materials in print or electronic form.

 

If you have information to share, please reply off-list
(eskomp at sewanee.edu).

 

Many thanks in advance,

Subject: 19-20.5: "Dislocating Literature. Transnational Literature and
 the Directions of Literary Studies in the Baltic Sea Region"
Message-ID: <THU.28.APR.2011.142125.0500.SEELANGS@BAMA.UA.EDU>

International Symposium:

DISLOCATING LITERATURE. Transnational Literature and the Directions of
Literary Studies in the Baltic Sea Region.

---------------------------------------------------
May 19th-20th 2011, Södertörn University campus (building: Moas båge)
Huddinge (by Stockholm), Sweden
www.sh.se/dislocatingliterature
---------------------------------------------------

In the international debate over the last decades, scholars of postcolonial
literature have most often examined the issue of comparison in relation to
history and context. How does literary criticism in the Baltic Sea Region
relate to these debates? The symposium gathers international scholars to
discuss literature that deals with geographical as well as conceptual border
crossings. Some of the invited speakers work in the Baltic Sea region,
others will arrive from Siberia or from the United States. Transnational and
transregional literary studies are bound to challenge the idea of cultures,
languages and philologies as closed entities. How does this affect the whole
concept of comparative literature? What happens when we focus on the aspect
of trauma and dislocation in the literature of the Baltic Sea region?

While many young literature scholars are already affiliated with, or funded
by broad, interdisciplinary research projects, our aim is to create a
network to reflect and enlarge upon literature studies as a particular
discipline. We are still in need of a specialized theoretical and
methodological debate - against the background of current developments in
academia.

Dear Colleagues and Friends,
 
I write about a matter of serious (and sudden) concern.  As you may have
heard, the recently passed FY 2011 federal budget includes a possible 40%,
or $50 million, cut to the Department of Education's Title VI/Fulbright-Hays
programs.  As Congress begins work on the FY 2012 budget, the future of
Fulbright-Hayes funding is in question, and so is Title VI, including the
key National Resource Center and FLAS Fellowship grants that CREES receives
(as do many other area-studies centers, at Michigan and elsewhere).  If you
wish to speak up about the value of these programs (whether through their
personal impact on your career, or their general role in furthering
scholarship, teaching, and outreach), consider visiting the URL below.
 
Click on "Take Action," enter your information, customize your message, and

Thank you,

Скорее "Взболтать, а не перемешивать"
В шейкере скорее взбалтывают или встряхивают, но не взбивают (взбивают
более плотные, чем алкоголь, вещи - яйца, сливки и т.п.)
И нельзя взболтать что-то, не перемешав его при этом, отсюда союз "а", не "но".

heard, the recently passed FY 2011 federal budget includes a possible 40%,
or $50 million, cut to the Department of Education's Title VI/Fulbright-Hays
programs.  As Congress begins work on the FY 2012 budget, the future of
Fulbright-Hayes funding is in question, and so is Title VI, including the
key National Resource Center and FLAS Fellowship grants that CREES receives
(as do many other area-studies centers, at Michigan and elsewhere).  If you
wish to speak up about the value of these programs (whether through their
personal impact on your career, or their general role in furthering
scholarship, teaching, and outreach), consider visiting the URL below.
 
Click on "Take Action," enter your information, customize your message, and

Thank you,
 
Douglas Northrop
Director, CREES

Коктейли в шейкере и "взбивают" и
"взбалтывают", можно посмотреть
существующие контексты. А вот при замене
"но" на "а" пропадает ирония/комизм. ВБ

теряется пойнт, ведь важен результат, а он здесь передается только видом,
поэтому "не смешав" точнее:
