Dear Seelang'ers:
  I am writing a paper on translatability of humor (or lack thereof) and,
inevitably, I ended up discussing Shtirlitz jokes. A while ago on this
listserv there was a reference to these jokes and possible plans of making a
website dedicated to them. If Dr. Allison, the author of the post, is still
interested, perhaps we could discuss this topic off list? Also, is there a
good academic take on this phenomenon somewhere out there? In English or
Russian? Connected to the topic of humor translation I found a curious
article: 
  Christina Marinetti, "The Limits of the Play Text: Translating Comedy",
New Voices in Translation Studies 1 (2005).
   
  Best regards,
  Nina Shevchuk-Murray
