SRC Seminar

Topic:	Проблемы комментирования книги Антона Чехова "Остров Сахалин"
Lecturer:	Mikhail Vysokov (Sakhalin State University / SRC)
Discussant:	MOCHIZUKI Tsuneko (Faculty of Letters, Hokkaido University)
Date & Time:	January 17 (Mon.) 17:00 - 19:00
Place:	Slavic Research Center, Room 401 (4th floor)
Language:	Russian
Contact:	Go Koshino
В России книгу “Остров Сахалин” Антона Чехова считают ≪самым непрочитанным≫ из всех чеховских произведений. И хотя чеховский “Сахалин” неоднократно издавался как на русском, так и на иностранных языках, мало кто брал на себя труд неторопливо и внимательно, слово за словом, и  прочитать эту необычную книгу. Одной из первых чеховский “Сахалин” так прочитала Мария Семанова. Однако составленный ею в 1940-1970-х годах комментарий сегодня очень сильно устарел. В 2010 году свет увидел новый комментарий к книге Антона Чехова “Остров Сахалин”, подготовленный Михаилом Высоковым. При работе над свои комментарием  автор стремился сделать текст чеховского "Сахалина" более доступным для современного читателя. В связи с этим были подготовлены около трех тысяч кратких статей практически обо всех упомянутых на страницах книги А.П. Чехова реальных людях и литературных героях, атласах и картах, газетах и журналах, научных трудах и литературных произведениях, океанах и морях, проливах и заливах, реках и озёрах, островах и полуостровах, горах и долинах, мысах и скалах, народах и странах, губерниях и областях, округах и военных постах, селениях и городах, растениях и животных, законах и учреждениях, обществах и компаниях, религиозных конфессиях и учебных заведениях, азартных играх и деньгах, чинах и титулах, казнях и телесных наказаниях, одежде и инструментах, строениях и мебели, горных породах и кораблях, продуктах и напитках, болезнях и лекарствах... Особое внимание автор комментария уделил понятиям и образам. Ведь за время, прошедшее с момента написания книги А.П. Чехова, значение многих на первый взгляд хорошо известных слов изменилось. При этом некоторые изменения носят радикальный характер. И для того, чтобы понять, что именно имел в виду А.П. Чехов, нам нужно эти изменения учитывать. И наконец, автор постоянно помнил, что Антон Чехов родился и вырос на юге Российской империи и что всё увиденное им на Сахалине он осознанно, а чаще всего инстинктивно сравнивает со своими родными местами.

GCOE-SRC Special  Seminar

Date & Time:	March 10 (Thu.) 16:30-18:00
Topic:	Negotiating goods and languages on cross-border retail markets in the postsocialist space
Lecturer:	Dieter Stern (Ghent Univ., Belgium)
Language:	English
Place:	Slavic Research Center, Room 403 (4th floor)
	The talk will deal with the negotiation of cultural and linguistic aspects of informal retail markets which have sprung up along the borders of the former socialist states since the demise of the Soviet Union. Within 20 years these markets have undergone a remarkable development from make-shift open-air bazaars to indoor shopping-malls claiming for social recognition. Though the article will take an overall perspective on informal retail markets, the Chinese-Russian border at the crossing-point Zabajkalsk-Manzhouli will provide a case study to give detailed insights into the daily life of transmigration. It will be shown how Chinese traders remodel their identity to accommodate to their new situation through linguistic practices and how these practices are seconded by the semiotics of architecture at Manzhouli. This will be correlated to the daily routine of verbal interactions between Russian costumers and Chinese vendors, which will be viewed from their symbolic as well as practical side. Language choice and verbal strategies will uncover the social roles negotiated between costumers and vendors. On the practical side issues of language acquisition and instruction will be dealt with. Finally the possibility of an emergent pidgin will be discussed.

Data&Time:	June 21 (Tue.), 16:30～18:00
Topic:	Burgenland Croatian: an old language on a do-it-yourself border with a new name
Lecturer:	Wayles Browne (Cornell University)
Abstract:	When, in the 1500s, the Croatian settlers went from Bosnia/Croatia to the north, the place they went to was Western Hungary. But centuries later, at the end of World War I, the Austro-Hungarian Empire fell apart, and the Croatians of Western Hungary--together with their German-speaking and Hungarian-speaking neighbors, were asked to express an opinion on whether they wanted to be part of the new small Austria, to the west of them, or of the new small Hungary, to the east of them. Almost all of them were in favor of Austria (or claimed to be in favor of Austria, when speaking about it later). In a small part of the area (Sopron) a plebiscite was conducted in 1921. In 1922 a boundary commission visited villages along the proposed border and asked Hungarian-speakers, German-speakers, and Croatians for their opinion on where the boundary line should be. So we can say the Croatians were in the strange position of helping to draw the borders themselves. The new region of Austria got a new name: Burgenland, and after that the Croatians translated this as Gradišće. I will speak briefly about the linguistic and other relations between Burgenland Croatians and several other groups: Hungarians, German-speaking Austrians, and Croatians from Croatia.
