Thebook is an interdisciplinary study that brings together Linguistics, GenderStudies, Queer Studies, and, to acertain degree, Political Science and Cultural Anthropology. Such an inter- disciplinaryaPProach is difficult to apply in thecontext of Russian linguistics, which for the most part remains heteronormative and traditionalist when it comes to gender identityand gender expression. This is why Scheller-Boltz’s analysis of the discourse on ConchitaWurstinPutin’s Russiafillsanim- portant gapinRussian Queer Linguistics.” (Alexander Pershái,European HumanitiesUniversity, Vilnius, Lithuania) “This monographpresents an intriguing and in-depth analysis of thehighly complex and problematic issue of straight andqueer Russian identities and thetensions between thetwo in anation caught between eastern traditiona- lism and western modernism. The work explores the ever-changingand inter- connectedconceptsofgender, sexuality and national identity through the receptionof2014 Eurovision Song Contest self-proclaimed queer Austrian victor Conchita Wurst by both the Russian public and media. While thevolume may also be regardedasaseminalintroduction to Russianqueer linguistics its findings are those which can be applied to other disciplines concerned with issues of gender, sexuality, and nationality. Amultifaceted work in terms of appeal Scheller-Boltz’s book is amust-read for those interested in perceptions of gender and sexualityinmodern-dayRussia, Slavonic queer linguistics as well as the reception and impact of western popular culture on eastern societies.” (JohnFrancis Eason III, UniversityofAlberta,Edmonton, Canada) Prefaceand Acknowledgement This volumerepresentsthe full resultsofascientific project whichwas approved by the Tyrolean ScienceFund(TWF) forthe year 2015.Itis basedonaseries of papers andtalks which have already been published or presentedonthistopicoverthe past three years.Not untilnow, however, hasitbeenpossiblefor me to presentthe complete material thathas been collectedand investigated to analysemycurrent research interestand to presentthe full extent of my research andfindings. So,thisvolume pro- videsmewith theopportunity to bringtogetherall my material andto presentthe finalresultsofmycurrentresearch project.Itisdedicated to the question of theinterconnectionbetween gender, sexual,and national iden- tity.Specifically, Iaddressthe question of how the constructionofgender andsexualidentitiesinfluence theconstruction of national identity andin what ways theseidentityconceptsare intimatelyconnected. My research projectfocusesonRussian discourseonidentity: First, it analyses thedevelopments in therecent past and, in particular, the latest socio-political circumstances andtrendsinthe RussianFederation whichprovidemuchusefuland interesting material forustoexamine the interconnectionbetween thesedifferentidentityconcepts. In otherwords, andtobemoreprecise,the projectfocuses on thecurrent discourseon gender, sexual,and national identityinRussia whichdelivers authenticand illustrative and, hence, extremelytopical material that exemplifies clearly thatgender, sexual,and national identity are closelyinterconnectedand influence oneanother directly. This is aphenomenonwhich can be charac- terisedastypical forRussiainrecent years andwhich hasnoticeably domi- natedRussian discourse,especiallybefore andduring the Winter Olympics in 2014. Second,the projectaimsatanalysing Russia’s ongoing identity crisis.It is very interesting forRussicists – andSlavicists in general – to studyhow this identity crisis is articulated in Russia and, furthermore, what kind of measures andsteps aretaken – this also concerns theRussian media – to strengthenand to rebuild Russia’s identity. In thiscontext, onehas to explorethe role that gender andsexualidentitiesplayhere andtowhat 8 Preface extent theconceptsofgenderand sexuality impact Russia’s national iden- tity. Third, my analysis of discourseongender, sexuality,and nation has, of course,adecidedfocus on Russiansociety.However, Russiandiscourse deliversvery informative andhighly revealingmaterial thatcan also, of course,beappliedtoother societiesand cultures.Inthiscontext, it should be pointed outthatthe analysis of gender, sexuality,and nation is in andof itself averypopular topicirrespectiveofthe discipline. Forthisreason, the material to be analysed formyresearchtopic provides meaningful scienti- ficfindingsthatcan be directly transferredtoand implemented in other non-Slavonicdisciplines.Hence, theexpected results enrich genderand queer linguistic research notonlyinSlavonic (linguistic) studiesbut also in otherlinguisticand non-linguisticdisciplines. *** This volumewould neverhavecomeintoexistence if Ihad nothad people on my side who actively andprofessionallysupportedmeand stood by me with wordsand deeds: Iamdeeply indebted to AllaViktorovnaKirilinaand Ihavetoexpress my gratitudetoher forher immenseinterest in my project,for our discussions, forher absolutelyhelpful remarksaswellasfor heralwaysavailable ear, andfor theresearchpossibilities sheofferedmeinMoscow.

  • Why Susie Sells Seashells by the Seashore: Implicit Egotism and Major Life Decisions
    ATTITUDES AND SOCIAL COGNITION Why Susie Sells Seashells by the Seashore: Implicit Egotism and Major Life Decisions Brett W. Pelham, Matthew C. Mirenberg, and John T. Jones State University of New York at Buffalo Because most people possess positive associations about themselves, most people prefer things that are connected to the self (e.g., the letters in one’s name). The authors refer to such preferences as implicit egotism. Ten studies assessed the role of implicit egotism in 2 major life decisions: where people choose to live and what people choose to do for a living. Studies 1–5 showed that people are disproportionately likely to live in places whose names resemble their own first or last names (e.g., people named Louis are disproportionately likely to live in St. Louis). Study 6 extended this finding to birthday number preferences. People were disproportionately likely to live in cities whose names began with their birthday numbers (e.g., Two Harbors, MN). Studies 7–10 suggested that people disproportionately choose careers whose labels resemble their names (e.g., people named Dennis or Denise are overrepresented among dentists). Implicit egotism appears to influence major life decisions. This idea stands in sharp contrast to many models of rational choice and attests to the importance of understanding implicit beliefs. What role do people’s thoughts and feelings about themselves important role in major life decisions. For example, only a handful play in their important day-to-day decisions and behaviors?

  • Ryssland Vinner Eurovision Song Contest Enligt Spelbolagen
    2008-05-13 14:16 CEST Ryssland vinner Eurovision Song Contest enligt spelbolagen 2008 års Eurovision Song Contest i Serbiens huvudstad Belgrad närmar sig och utbudet är större än någonsin. Sveriges Charlotte Perrelli finns med bland favoriterna, men vinner det gör Ryssland. Åtminstone enligt spelbolagen som har sjönsångaren Dima Bilan med låten "Believe" som favorit. Dima kom tvåa för två år sedan efter finska succén Lordi och är nu stor favorit att ta hem tävlingen. På www.oddsonline.se hittar du de bästa oddsen, favoriterna och tv-tiderna inför den stora finalveckan. Dessutom följer vi evenemanget från det att den första artisten stiger upp på scen till dess av en vinnare utsetts. För första gången i Eurovision Song Contests långa historia kommer tävlingen i Belgrad att avgöras med två semifinaler för att plocka fram de bästa bidragen till den stora höjdpunkten, finalen där 25 bidrag kommer finnas med. Med andra ord finns det stora möjligheter att hitta bra odds även i de båda semifinalerna som avgörs tisdagen den 20:e respektive torsdagen den 22:e maj. Sverige tävlar i semifinal 2, torsdagen den 22 maj. Charlotte Perrellis "Hero" är femtehandsfavorit hos spelbolagen inför tävlingen. Våra nordiska grannar är inte lika favorittippade som Sverige som två veckor före finalen ger runt 12 gånger pengarna som vinnare. Norge, Finland och Island tippas alla hamna mellan plats 15 och 20 av spelbolagen. Danmark tros få det ännu tuffare och tippas hamna utanför finalen. Hur det går ser ni lördagen den 24 maj, i finalen från serbiska Belgrad. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- Om Odds Online Betting på nätet har under 2000-talet blivit omåttligt populärt, inte bara bland sportintresserade utan även hos gemene man.
