ASEEES Panel

[Vadim Shneyder]

Dear SEELANGSers,

I am interested in putting together a panel for ASEEES in 2011 which would
focus on the thematization of the literary heritage in works of Russian
prose fiction and look at the ways that different writers or different
movements or tendencies in literature address the historical importance of
this heritage both for the Soviet regime and for educated Russians more
generally. I have in mind a paper on this dimension in Leonid Tsypkin's Leto
v Badene and Venedikt Erofeev's Moskva-Petushki. It may be fruitful to limit
the scope of this panel to 20th century (or even late 20th century) prose
fiction, but I am open to possible expansions of the topic in the direction
of poetry, non-Russian literatures, etc., as well as considerations of
different historical periods. Please contact me off list at
vadim.shneyder at yale.edu if you would like to participate or have questions
or suggestions.

Best,

Vadim
