Dear Nabokovians,
We are looking for a panelist, a discussant and a
chair for a panel dedicated to Vladimir Nabokov in the next year's ASEEES
conference in New Orleans. The panel can be tentatively entitled as "VN and
Consciousness," and the two papers that we already have are going to deal with
VN vis-a-vis science or sciences. We want to explore the ways in which Nabokov's
epistemology and metaphysics, as they are presented in both his fiction (novels,
shorts stories, translations) and metafiction (interviews, lectures, letters,
scientific papers), can be localized in the broader context of (the history of)
human perception. If interested, please respond
off-list to karpukhin@wisc.edu. We
will need a short CV and an abstract from the third panelist.
(Apologies for cross-posting.)
Best regards,
Naomi Olson
