CFP: Ulbandus 12 - Pushkin

[Maksim Hanukai]

A CALL FOR PAPERS

The 12th edition of Ulbandus, the annual journal of the Columbia Slavic Department, will 
be dedicated to the life and work of Alexander Pushkin. In particular, this issue will be 
framed as a collective investigation into the many sides of Pushkin’s personality, taken in 
the aesthetic and historical contexts of his time.

Which features did Pushkin share with his epoch, and which he did not? What concerned 
him deeply, what failed to arouse his interest, and for what reason? How did his personal 
traits figure into the Romantic “life-creation” he engaged in? How does Pushkin's "life 
creation" process compare to the creative processes of his contemporaries, such as 
Goethe, Chateaubriand, Musset, Byron, and Wordsworth? What was the role played by the 
seclusion and marginality of his formative years?—the role of his poverty, in comparison 
to most if not all of his friends and colleagues?—of his gambling, at the cardgame table 
and with his life?—his relationships with and relation to women (in the context of the 
“Romantic marriage”)? His knowledge, and lack of knowledge, of languages? His 
“smirking loyalties”; his sense of freedom, and the instances when it failed him?

In addition to scholarly articles, Ulbandus encourages submission of original poetry, 
fiction, essays, translations and artwork. Submissions may be in either English or 
Russian. Contributions from outside of the Slavic field are warmly invited. The deadline 
for receipt of submissions is October 31st.
