| The world has always had a lot to say about the space we now call Russia. Many of Russias claims to fame and infamy have seemed at odds with each other: some saw Russia as a destitute, violent, and barbaric backwater, but many others thought of Russia as the home of first-rate art. While some perceived Russia as a depraved den of political schemes, many thought that it represented a pinnacle of effective governance and royal majesty, and others sensed a revolutionary potential that could re-shape ideas of the state forever. Our course will incorporate short readings (in English!) from Pushkin to Dostoevsky, and we will explore East European religious history, film, painting, architecture, cinema, and dance. Together, we will work to better understand what we mean when we use the word culture, and we will learn the history and consequences of how Russia understands its own. | ||||||||

| This course is devoted to close readings of Russian short stories by nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first-century writers. Our reading list includes works by canonical writers such as Nikolai Gogol, Leo Tolstoy, and Anton Chekhov, as well as by writers whose work rings with particular urgency in the current day, such as Varlam Shalamov, Viktor Pelevin, and Lyudmila Petrushevskaya. We will study these stories thematically, at the same time learning about the historical and cultural context in which they were created. Following the transgressive arc of the course, we will discuss issues of insanity, bodily modifications, and sex work, with a particular focus on psychology, symbolism, and the changing representation of the body and mind in Russian literature. What is the norm in society, and how has fiction challenged it? | ||||||||
