    JBS 15 DEC Yk.Indd

    When Autocracies Have No Respect for the Nobel Prize BY INA SHAKHRAI As both the fi rst writer and the fi rst woman from Belarus to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature, Svetlana Alexievich became a centre of public attention worldwide. While the fi rst tweets from the Nobel announcement room generated some confusion regarding this unknown writer from an unknown land – with about “10,000 reporters googling Svetlana Alexievich” (Brooks 2015) – the subsequent media coverage of the writer in such publications as The Guardian, The New Yorker, and Der Spiegel sketched out a broad picture of Alexievich’s life, career and main works. Meanwhile, the Belarusian state media remained reluctant to give the award much attention: the upcoming presidential elections and Lukashenka’s visit to Turkmenistan took priority. In a couple of cafes and art spaces in Minsk young people gathered to watch Alexievich’s speech live via the Internet. Independent and alternative websites offered platforms for discussion and the exchange of opinions. Interestingly, the general public was divided over the question of the “Belarusianness” of Alexievich. The identity of the protagonist in Alexievich’s books caused a heated discussion among Russian intellectuals as well. They could hardly accept that Alexievich’s works might epitomize the experience of a genuinely Soviet individual, as they set out to. There was also much speculation on whether Alexievich should be acknowledged as a Russian writer, or whether the West treated her as Belarusian in order to chastise Russia. The events surrounding Alexievich’s Nobel Prize represent a revealing example of the all-encompassing nature of autocratic political systems, as well as how confusing and interwoven national identities can be.
  • Names in Multi-Lingual, -Cultural and -Ethic Contact

    Names in Multi-Lingual, -Cultural and -Ethic Contact

    Oliviu Felecan, Romania 399 Romanian-Ukrainian Connections in the Anthroponymy of the Northwestern Part of Romania Oliviu Felecan Romania Abstract The first contacts between Romance speakers and the Slavic people took place between the 7th and the 11th centuries both to the North and to the South of the Danube. These contacts continued through the centuries till now. This paper approaches the Romanian – Ukrainian connection from the perspective of the contemporary names given in the Northwestern part of Romania. The linguistic contact is very significant in regions like Maramureş and Bukovina. We have chosen to study the Maramureş area, as its ethnic composition is a very appropriate starting point for our research. The unity or the coherence in the field of anthroponymy in any of the pilot localities may be the result of the multiculturalism that is typical for the Central European area, a phenomenon that is fairly reflected at the linguistic and onomastic level. Several languages are used simultaneously, and people sometimes mix words so that speakers of different ethnic origins can send a message and make themselves understood in a better way. At the same time, there are common first names (Adrian, Ana, Daniel, Florin, Gheorghe, Maria, Mihai, Ştefan) and others borrowed from English (Brian Ronald, Johny, Nicolas, Richard, Ray), Romance languages (Alessandro, Daniele, Anne, Marie, Carlos, Miguel, Joao), German (Adolf, Michaela), and other languages. *** The first contacts between the Romance natives and the Slavic people took place between the 7th and the 11th centuries both to the North and to the South of the Danube. As a result, some words from all the fields of onomasiology were borrowed, and the phonological system was changed, once the consonants h, j and z entered the language.

We graduated the largest number of undergraduate concentrators in nearly a decade, with the most signifi cant increase coming from those majoring in Polish Language, Literature and Culture. The Alternative Spring Break (ASB) experience in the town of Vytegra in Russia’s northwest, now in its second year, went splendidly. Professor Michael Makin and Lecturer Alina Makin introduced a new mini-course on the Russian Provinces to help prepare students for their work there. Another newly developed initiative for our department in the undergraduate area is the increased number (six) of First Year Seminars that we will be off ering in the fall, on a variety of topics: Prague as a Cultural Space, Yiddish Love Stories, Introduction to Narratology, the Russian Rogue’s Progress, South Slavic Short Fiction, and Monuments and Memory. Our graduate students have many notable achievements for the year. More than half of them have been awarded fellowships for their next year of study and about the same number have delivered conference papers during the past year. This year we welcome three new students: Marianna Benenson, Amanda Getty, and Natalie McCauley. Their arrival will bring the number of graduate students currently in our program to seventeen, fi fteen of whom will be taking courses and doing their research here in Ann Arbor this next year.

When I came to deliver them, a considerable portion of what I had written had to be omitted; and, in now placing them before the public in a more complete form, I have gladly complied with a wish expressed by many of my hearers. As they are, they only form a short abstract of several Courses delivered from time to time in Oxford, and they do not pretend to be more than an introduction to a science far too comprehensive to be treated successfully in so small a compass.

    DEPARTMENT OF SLAVIC AND EAST EUROPEAN LANGUAGES AND CULTURES Autumn/2017-2018 Letter from the Interim Chair Angela Brintlinger Dear Alumni and Friends of Slavic, It seems like a great time to be studying Russia and Eastern/Central Europe. When I was in gradu- ate school, at the end of the Soviet period, faculty joked that enrollments rise and fall with the news cycle, and that certainly seems to be the case these days. We are embracing the opportunity to share and expand knowledge of the languages we teach— Russian, Polish, Bosnian-Serbian-Croatian, Romanian—and the cultures we study. Students have been flocking to our doors, and we want to accommodate them. With enrollments up in Russian language and culture especially, we aim to educate today’s students using film, literature, and even food. Professor Brintlinger visiting New developments in our curriculum include several on-line versions of courses, in particular Tolstoy's Garden in Moscow R2335.99: Russian Culture, and R2355.99: Russians and their Vodka: Deconstructing Myths. Stu- dents appreciate the convenience and report that given our quality instructors, they truly enjoy the opportunity to learn from the de- partment’s online classes. In the classroom, too, we are reaching almost 1000 students this autumn—it’s exciting to contemplate the impact they will have on the world in the future. Faculty continue to research and publish at a great rate, and our graduate students are delving into all three major fields in the de- partment: linguistics, literature and culture, and second language acquisition. We are pleased to be the new home for the Slavic and East European Journal, the professional scholarly journal now edited by Yana Hashamova with assistance from Alexander Burry and new editorial assistant Sean Ray.
