15. 5. 2025 | University Square. 1, Liberec, Builing G, 3.NP, G315 | 18:00
Abstract:
The presentation will be focused on some of Mancosu’s key contributions to the publishing history of Doctor Zhivago and the Pasternak case (Mancosu 2013, 2015, 2016, 2019 and 2024). In addition to describing in broad strokes the results of the research (the “narrative”), I will also reflect on the research process itself (the “metanarrative”).
