Nabokov Panel at NEMLA (Deadline: 30 September)

[Alexandar Mihailovic]

Call for Papers

Panel:  “Vladimir Nabokov:  Postmodern Reflections and Elective Affinities”

44th Annual Convention, Northeast Modern Language Association (NeMLA)
March 21-24, 2013
Boston, Massachusetts
Host Institution:  Tufts University


We will examine reconsiderations of Nabokov’s work from across the globe, focusing on artists who document the rise of ideological forms of postmodernism within an increasingly neo-liberal world order.  Topics may range from the use of Nabokov by contemporary Russian writers--as a tool for exposing the absurdities of Putinist ideology--to revisions or updatings of Nabokov in writing, cinema, and popular culture outside of Russia.

Abstracts of no more than 250 words should be sent to Alexandar Mihailovic (cllazm at hofstra.edu).  Deadline:  September 30, 2012.

The 2013 NeMLA convention continues the Association's tradition of sharing innovative scholarship in an engaging and generative location. The 44th annual event will be held in historic Boston, Massachusetts, a city known for its national and maritime history, academic facilities and collections, vibrant art, theatre, and food scenes, and blend of architecture. The Convention, located centrally near Boston Commons and the Theatre District at the Hyatt Regency, will include keynote and guest speakers, literary readings, film screenings, tours and workshops.


Interested participants may submit abstracts to more than one NeMLA session; however, panelists can only present one paper (panel or seminar). Convention participants may present a paper at a panel and also present at a creative session or participate in a roundtable.  http://www.nemla.org/convention/2013/cfp.html
