| As any artifact produced by humans, a film can be a historical source. Our class will use films produced in the early twentieth century Russia and the Soviet Union, from Ukraine to Central Asia, and largely targeting popular audiences to explore social and cultural history of the Russian/Soviet most turbulent century. This century included two revolutions, two world wars and a civil war, the collapse of the old empire and the building of the Soviet Union, important artistic experimentations, the rise of national cultures and the great and controversial experiment of building socialism first in one country, and then in the larger Second world. We will consider only films that represent contemporary moments in history the concerns, aspirations, hopes, political and aesthetic ideals and material realities of the contemporaries of these films. Course Information: Same as RUSS 239. Prerequisite(s): ENGL 160 or completion of any 100-level history course.

| Technologies This course will survey the aesthetics and politics behind three centuries of Russian design, beginning with the semiotics of Lomonosovs glass, zooming in on the avant gardes furniture and textile designs, visiting Soviet records and rockets, kitchens and kitsch, and ending with Putins oil soaked baroque. In the process we will ponder the following questions: How are material goods, and specifically technologies, deployed on behalf of a political agenda? Are tools value neutral or invested with the values of the societies that create them? How does the past manifest itself through material and visual culture? What makes technologies artful or art technological? Taught in English. | ||||||||

| The aim of this course is twofold: to examine the complex intersection of art and politics and to trace developments in twentieth- and twenty-first century Russophone literature in their historical and cultural context. The course covers the revolutionary art of the avant-garde, Socialist Realism, the art of dissent and counter-memory, migr literature, post-Soviet postmodernism, and contemporary protest culture. We will examine works by Akhmatova and Akhmadulina, Babel and Brodsky, Mandelstam and Mayakovsky, Pasternak and Platonov, Solzhenitsyn and Shalamov, Nabokov and Bulgakov. We will address such questions as the relationship between art and ideology, experimental form and revolutionary content, the utopian imagination, the art of the fantastic and doublespeak, laughter as subversion and laughter as social corrective, literature of exile, postcommunism and postmodernism. No knowledge of Russian is required. Taught in English | ||||||||

| 3 hours This course explores the history of the idea of documentary in 19th-, 20th-, and 21st-century Russia. We will explore how new forms of media and reportage like print journalism, photography, and sound recording produced an effect of documentation, and how this effect appeared in both expected and unexpected artistic contexts. Throughout the semester, class discussions will explore relationships between representation and reportage, fact and fiction, and sincerity and performance; all the while, we will ask what may have been unique (or not unique) about these categories in Russia.
