Bringing together intellectual history and literary analysis, linguistic anthropology, and sound and media studies, Gabriella Safran's new book Recording Russia looks at how writers, folklorists, and linguists such as Turgenev, Dostoevsky, and Vladimir Dahl, as well as foreign visitors, thought about the possibilities and meanings of listening to and repeating other people's words.
Because the Davis Center hopes to serve lunch after the seminar, they would be grateful if you could register if you plan to attend. That way, they know how many people to prepare for!
