Today I set out for the UK to participate in a Slavic and Eastern European Studies conference in Cambridge, where I'll be presenting a paper titled "On Wildness and Civilization: Ruslana's Wild Dances and the Pursuit of Ukrainianness." (Or at least that's the title I settled on this morning, but still subject to change.)
This is part of the reason why you haven't been hearing too much from me this week and probably won't for the next week or so. But once I'm back in Simferopol, armed with my new digital recorder and a variety of curries, I plan to start interviewing Tatar musicians in earnest. So stay tuned.
