Présent jusqu’à dimanche au Salon du livre de Montréal à titre d’invité d’honneur, Dany Laferrière offre ici un avant-goût de son univers littéraire.

Est-ce que vous pouvez commencer par nous expliquer pourquoi vous trouvez aussi important de parler des livres des autres dans vos propres livres ?

The New York Public Library has appointed a new full-time Slavic Curator, Bogdan Horbal.

Historian Susan Smith-Peter recently conducted an interview with Horbal for New York University's Jordan Center blog.

I agree with you that the podcast can be seen as an expression of scholarly engagement. I'm thinking of this expressly through the lens of public scholarship expressed by Imagining America http://imaginingamerica.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/ScholarshipinPubl...). Working on my podcasts with colleague and students to explore community, if framed by a broader scholarly question should be seen as part of a bigger, knowledge creation framework.

Dear Yelena,

I recently came across an interesting article (the first of two) about art podcasts by the critic Dushko Petrovich. In it, he considers the place of art podcasts in the podcast media landscape, between DIY and slick institutionally-sponsored productions.
