Ulbandus XVI
Hearing Texts: The Auditory in Slavic Literatures
Deadline: February 17, 2014
ULBANDUS,
the Slavic Review of Columbia University, is now requesting submissions for its
next issue, which will follow last year’s successful issue on the visual
(Ulbandus XV) with a focus on the auditory
in Slavic literatures. We welcome papers that together will reveal the
current state of scholarship on intersections between the auditory and the
literary in the field of Slavic studies. Possible topics include, but are not
limited to:
-intersections between literature and the musical arts, including
folk/traditional music, songs, chamber music, symphonies, ballet music, opera, film
soundtracks, and popular music
-depictions of music in Slavic literature
-interactions between Slavic literature and the study of
acoustics
-the study of conversation and colloquial speech in Slavic
languages
-the use and representation of colloquial speech in Slavic
literature
-the relationship between spoken and literary language
-experiments with the sound of language and its role in literary
thought
-considerations of sound and sound devices in literary translation
-the aural element in the performance of literature (public/private
readings, poetry recitations, drama, etc.)
-the transition from visual to aural when discussing and teaching literature
(literary salon, classroom, etc.)
-musical adaptations of literary (and non-literary) texts
-the advent of sound in Russian and Soviet cinema
In addition to scholarly articles, ULBANDUS encourages submission of original
poetry, fiction, translations, photography, and artwork. The deadline for
submissions is February 17, 2014.
Manuscripts should follow the Chicago Manual of Style, be double-spaced, and not exceed 25 pages in length. Electronic
