INDIANA SLAVIC STUDIES, a series issued jointly by SLAVICA PUBLISHERS
and INDIANA UNIVERSITY, announces the publication of Volume 15:

POLES APART: WOMEN IN MODERN POLISH CULTURE
Ed. Helena Goscilo & Beth Holmgren

ISBN  0-89357-335-3
vi + 167 pp.
$24.00

An anthology that focuses on the careers, works, and reception of
Polish women in the visual and performing arts, the essays in POLES
APART span the 19th and 20th centuries, from Beth Holmgren's
historical analyses of the public/professional lives of Polish stage
actresses in the late 19th century to Andrea Lanoux's critical
review of the diverse Polish-language women's magazines that
proliferated in Poland during the 1990s. Between these endpoints,
Bozena Shallcross limns the innovative psychologized portraiture of
painter Olga Boznanska; Elzbieta Ostrowska examines the provocative
cinematic career of Poland's premier female screen star, Krystyna
Janda; Maria Makowiecka delineates the transgressive multimedia art of
the award-winning postmodernist Ewa Kuryluk; and Helena Goscilo
fathoms the anti-diva self-fashioning and currency of the operatic
contralto Ewa Podles.  Halina Filipowicz's essay-afterword to the
collection advocates and theoretically elaborates a "particularist"
methodology that evaluates Polish women's works within the context of
their historical experience, cultural traditions, and sociopolitical
pressures.
