Vladimir Sorokin at Stanford: Graduate Workshops and Public Events

[nariman skakov]

Dear colleagues,


On November 2 and 9, 2011, the Stanford Slavic Department will host two
graduate student workshops with the renowned Russian writer Vladimir
Sorokin:  "Russianness as Image" and "Oprichnina," both conducted in
Russian. Because the number of places is limited, we invite applications
from graduate students who would like to attend either or both of the
workshops. Applicants should send a 1-page statement and CV to Nariman
Skakov, Assistant Professor of Slavic Languages and Literatures (
nariman.skakov at stanford.edu), by October 3, 2011. Those selected will be
responsible for their own travel arrangements and accommodation.



Below is the list of Vladimir Sorokin-related events open to the general
public (no registration is required).


With kind regards,


Nariman

*Vladimir Sorokin Reception *

*October 18, 2011: 3.30pm*

*Place tbc*



VLADIMIR SOROKIN is the ‘resident genius’ of late-Soviet and contemporary
Russian fiction. One of the leaders of the Moscow underground scene of the
1980s, he continues to challenge dominant ideologies. His shockingly
imaginative experimental texts, which were completely banned during the
Soviet period, comprise a set of profound statements on the novelistic
genre.

ILYA and EMILIA KABAKOV are Russian-born, American-based artists of
international importance. They collaborate on environments which fuse
elements of the everyday with those of the conceptual. While their work is
deeply rooted in the Soviet social and cultural context in which the
Kabakovs came of age, their work still attains a universal significance.
