AATSEEL panel on portrayal of women in Russian visual and print culture

[Colleen Lucey]

Dear colleagues, 

We are seeking a chair and a discussant for the 2015 AATSEEL conference (Vancouver) on the topic of "Women, Performance, and Sexuality in Russian Culture." One paper examines the depiction of matchmaking rituals in print and visual culture from 1860-1890. The second presentation is on the portrayal of virginity in satirical journals in fin de siècle Russia. The final paper covers the life and work of Nataliia Medvedeva. Although the papers span a broad time frame, they are united by a common investigation into the interconnectedness between sexuality, performance, and commodification. 

If interested, please contact off list at clucey at wisc.edu before July 1.

Sincerely,

Colleen Lucey
