| This course explores the emergence of Socialist Realism, the style that dominated in film, literature and art for decades in the Soviet Union and countries of the Eastern Bloc. We will explore cultural dimension of the Soviet project through novels and short stories, Soviet films and Soviet art. Our primary goal will be to understand the origin and the nature of Socialist Realism as a modern phenomenon. The Soviet period of Russian culture is often associated with the established opposition between the official realm of Socialist Realism and the unofficial underground culture, which we will also talk about to explore the Soviet culture thoroughly Knowledge of Russian is NOT required Taught in English Exploring World Cultures course | ||||||||

| The history of film would be drastically different without the experiments and innovations of Russian directors and cinematographers. This course will explore a chronology of Russian and Soviet film, examining this cultural and artistic phenomenon in the context of the dramatic upheavals of the Bolshevik revolution and its aftermath. We will look at depictions of war, the interface of the human with the machine, and flights of the imagination through cinematic technology. Throughout the course, we will ask not only how Russian culture alters the course of Russian film, but also how developments in Russian film enable the radical reimagining of personal and social life. Course Information: Taught in English. Films screened with English subtitles. Creative Arts course, and World Cultures course. | ||||||||

| Great Russian novels. Same as ENGL 302 and MOVI 302. "Russian Literary Extremism and its Cinematic Afterlives" Russian literature of the 19th century is haunted by the specter of extremism. The pages of these novels are filled with disaffected young people (usually men) who become unhealthily possessed by ideas, some of whom reach such levels of fanaticism that they commit horrifically violent acts of terrorism. Given the troubling rise of extremism and the rampant spread of misinformation in our own era, we now have more in common with this distant mirror than ever before. To make the relevance of the 19th century novel for our contemporary moment more palpable, our course will take a comparative approach, and we will examine the afterlives of Russian literary extremism in contemporary Anglo-American cinema. In addition to learning the history and development of these types in the Russian novel, we will discuss and contrast its cinematic counterpart, paying close attention to the similarities and divergences between these two forms. Course Information: Taught in English. Prerequisite(s): Junior standing or above; or consent of the instructor. | ||||||||

| "Socialist Media" The study of media asks: what is a medium? What is mediation? And how do these two ideas impact social processes? This course offers an interdisciplinary approach to key concepts and methods for the study of media, and it does so against the uncommonly explored background of the Soviet Union. By working outside of the traditional media-theoretical contexts of Western Europe and the United States, we will trace the insights and limits that emerge from the application of the term media to Soviet literature, painting, photography, film, television, and sound recording. Students will become familiar with the main currents and debates of media theory (in addition to film and literary theory), and we will explore the rise (and consequences) of the term media in the contemporary study of art, communication, and society. Course Information: May be repeated to a maximum of 8 hours, if topics vary, and with consent of the instructor. Taught in English. | ||||||||
