Call for Papers: My Nabokov The next issue of Ulbandus, Columbia University’s Slavic Review, turns its focus to Vladimir Nabokov, perhaps the most provocative Russian author of the 20th century. Nabokov's prodigious output in poetry, prose, translation—and strong opinions—raises numerous questions for us to consider: Fame and literary scandals; problems of translation and translation theory; text adaptation in film and film representation in text; the visual Nabokov; the author in exile; Nabokov as Russian, American or European author; autobiography as fiction or vice versa; bending genre; the 'voice' in the introduction; Nabokov as scholar, instructor and scientist; erotica and pornography; Nabokov as inspiration; the (post)Soviet Nabokov—among many other possibilities. We are especially interested in the notion of Nabokov in dialogue—with other authors, genres and media—and encourage papers focusing on works that specifically rewrite and reinvent Nabokov (i.e., Kubrick, Pelevin, Eco, Nafisi) or explore the idea of dialogue, or the lack thereof, as a structural, narratological and ethical question in Nabokov’s works taken alone. As always, Ulbandus welcomes non-traditional and / or experimental pieces. Submissions from outside of the Slavic field are warmly invited. The submission deadline is May 1, 2006. Papers must be double-spaced and should not exceed 25 pages in length. Electronic submissions are encouraged. Interested applicants may also submit papers to: ULBANDUS Columbia University 1130 Amsterdam Avenue Mail code 2839 New York, NY 10027 USA. For posted submissions, please include (2) two print copies as well as a copy in rich text file on CDR.
