Hello SEELANGers,
I would like your help compiling a list of Slavic and East European literature
and film featuring things coming to life. Coming to life is understood
broadly any exhibition of volition, independence, or sentience, whether it is
real or just in someones imagination. My list so far consists almost
entirely of body parts, which count, I suppose, as things: Gogol (The Nose),
Olesha (Envy), Gombrowicz (Ferdydurke), Aleshkovsky (Kangaroo), and one
borderline case the film Brilliantovaia ruka.
If any of you have something to add to the list, please email me off-line. I
will compile answers and send the result to the group. Thank you!
Happy New Year to all (and enjoy the snow, if applicable),
Annie Fisher
