Seeing Texts: Visuality in Slavic Literatures

Deadline: February 17, 2012


ULBANDUS, the Slavic Review of Columbia University, is now requesting submissions for its next issue, which will focus on the visual in Slavic literatures. We welcome papers which together will reveal the current state of scholarship on intersections between the visual and the literary in the field of Slavic studies. Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

-intersections between literature and the visual arts, including painting, sculpture, architecture, garden design, photography, film, theater, and dance
-ekphrasis: what it is, how it is relevant to the study of Slavic literatures
-interactions between the science of optics and literature
-notions of imagination and the mind’s eye
-illustrations of literary (and non-literary) texts
-looking as a literary theme, for instance voyeurism, aggressive or unauthorized glances, and transformative or aestheticizing gazes

In addition to scholarly articles, ULBANDUS encourages submission of original poetry, fiction, translations, photography and artwork. The deadline for submissions is FEBRUARY 17, 2012.
