ULBANDUS, THE SLAVIC REVIEW OF COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY,
WELCOMES SUBMISSIONS FOR ISSUE 8, 2004.
A century and a half ago, Baudelaire's flowers of evil burgeoned in the
literary
gardens of France, engendering exotic works and fierce artistic
reaction throughout Europe. Ulbandus’s “Fruits of Evil”
issue explores the polemic that continues to the present day among
the various reactions to Baudelaire's innovation. In this issue we
will examine themes of overripeness and decay (e.g., the Decadent and
Symbolist strains), as well as efforts to re-imagine the
consequences of Baudelairean gardening in order to provide a robust
alternative (e.g., the Adamist/Acmeist strain) in Russia and
central Europe from the nineteenth century to the present day.
Submissions that either address the polemic directly, or focus more
narrowly on individual responses to Baudelaire's worldview, will be
considered.
Articles transgressing traditional disciplinary and
geographical boundaries are welcome, as are non-traditional
submissions.
For details about Ulbandus (recent issues treat Gogol
[#6] and Post-Colonialism [#7]) and submission guidelines, see:
www.columbia.edu/cu/slavic/ulbandus/index.html. If interested, please
write to Margo Rosen at [log in to unmask]
The deadline for
submissions is January 15, 2004.
