EKATERINA-L
ANNOUNCING A NEW LISTSERV (e-mail discussion list)
on Catherine the Great of Russia
in this the bicentennial of her death
This listserv discussion (EKATERINA-L) will be devoted to scholarly
consultation about the life and times and impact of
Catherine the Great, Empress of Russia (1729-96). We welcome
participation from scholars in many fields and accept contributions in
English as well as Catherine's main modern Western languages: Russian,
German, and French.
Our hope is to conduct the discussion in this one year, 1996. Therefore
we invite your active participation in EKATERINA-L over the next eleven
months, addressing questions such as these:
-- What does the reception of Catherine the Great in her day and now
tell us about women and power?
-- What are the issues (cultural, political, ethnic, national, literary)
that are raised when a German princess becomes the Russian Empress?
-- What is Catherine's importance as a collector and preserver of art and
arts?
-- What are important aspects of the cultural period in multi-cultural
Russia and what were her contributions to it?
-- How is Catherine, or is she not, a Russian?
-- How is she, or is she not, an Enlightenment figure?
We invite more questions and as many answers and parts of answers as any
of us can come up with.
By subscribing to the list, you let other scholars know of your interest
in the issues Catherine raises, in Catherine as historical or cultural
figure, in this time period, and in professional and scholarly events
related to Catherine the Great.
We seek scholars in many fields, such as eighteenth-century studies,
Russian studies, women's studies, history, literature, theater, music,
art. Please let your colleagues know!
