Professors Daria Khitrova, author of Lyric Complicity: Poetry and Readers in the Golden Age of Russian Literature, and Aleksandra Kremer, author of The Sound of Modern Polish Poetry: Performance and Recording after World War II, will be in conversation with each other about their newly published books
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.
