Welcome to the official site of the International Vladimir Nabokov Society (IVNS). You can access most of the site as you wish, but to add to or edit material wiki-style, as we would love you to do, you will have to register to the site by following the protocol spelled out below.
Introducing a new feature: read classic articles from the archives of the print version of The Nabokovian. Selected by the site's editors, articles will be featured free of charge and will vary quarterly. Full access to all of the print and electronic issues of The Nabokovian are available on this site to members of the International Vladimir Nabokov Society (IVNS). To join, please go here.
Our inaugural article is Gennady Barabtarlo's "See under Sebastian," The Nabokovian 1990.24: 24-28. Enjoy your reading!
Although connections between cinema and Nabokov have been occasionally explored by scholars, no symposium has ever tackled the role that cinema plays in Nabokov’s work or the dialogic relation that exists between them.
Lara Delage-Toriel, President of the International Vladimir Nabokov Society, is happy to announce the following Nabokov panel at next year's MLA Convention:
Panel Title: "Playing with/for Time: Nabokov's Persistent Images"
Eric Eklund (PhD candidate, Nottingham University), "Ever Moving Repose: All Space, All Time, and the Infinite Gaze of Sudarg’s Triptych"
George Mather (DPhil candidate, Oxford University), "'Thematic Designs': Nabokov Persistent and Purposive"
Dear NOJ friends, members of the Editorial Board and the authors of Vol. XIII:
I would like to thank you all for your wonderful cooperation and for making this issue of the Nabokov Online Journal possible - despite the unfolding crisis! In addition to launching the new issue, we've made our entire digital archive free. You are welcome to forward this link to peers and friends, and to all those who might find solace these days in reading VN or anything related to his legacy: http://www.nabokovonline.com/news.html
We are humbled and grateful to The Vladimir Nabokov Literary Foundation for their generous support.
You are invited to submit a NOTE to The Nabokovian. The deadline for submissions to the NOTES section for this (unusual) spring is May 1.
For its next session at the MLA Convention 2021 (7-10 January, Toronto), the IVNS welcomes proposals on the following theme:
Playing with/for Time: Nabokov's Persistent Images
Nabokov created persistent images (visual and other), which mark readers' minds not unlike the phenomenon of retinal persistence. How do such images survive, confer timelessness to his fiction, or anchor it in a specific temporality?
Please send a 250-word abstract to Lara Delage-Toriel (ldelage@unistra.fr) and a short bio by March 24th, 2020.
