SUMMARY:The Audacity of Russian Realism: Painting Critically in the 19th Century
DESCRIPTION:This seminar will examine the tradition of nineteenth-century Russian realist painting\, a tradition which existed primarily from the mid-1840s through the late 1880s and was associated with a range of artistic figures—from the much-celebrated Ilia Repin\, to the less well-known figures of Vasilii Perov and Ivan Kramskoi. Russian realist paintings have long been compared to those by their French counterparts\, but the styles of realism in these two cultural sectors diverge in important ways. Whereas French realism was centered on forming objective and impartial representations of contemporary life\, Russian realist artists cultivated their tendentiousness\, representing reality while still valuing subjectivity and empathic judgment. This seminar will introduce the major Russian realist painters and contextualize their work in terms of the writings on realism which rose to the fore at the time in order to show how both participate in the general social and political awakening characteristic of Russia in the second half of the century. \n Allison Leigh is an Assistant Professor of Art History in the Department of Visual Arts at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. She is a specialist in European and Russian art of the 18th and 19th centuries and her first book\, Masculinity and Modernity in 19th-Century Russian Painting\, is forthcoming from Bloomsbury Press in late 2019.

SUMMARY:"Sincerity out\, authenticity in: poetry in quest of trust in times of post-truth”
DESCRIPTION:In the first half of the 1990s a new generation of Russian poets\, — or a considerable part thereof — found itself facing the challenge of inventing a new way to speak straightforwardly: readily available poetics either wasn’t up to the job or was itself part of the problem. Poetry optics\, which emerged at the time as a possible solution\, was the “new sincerity.” The new generation of poets entering the scene since the mid-2010s faces completely new challenges\, shaped mostly not by the dominant poetic practices of the past\, but by discourses of power. New political forces\, probably not quite suitably labelled “populist\,” have not just appropriated\, but in fact have weaponized the notion of sincerity. More often than not poetry feels obligated to confront the new\, ever-changing\, opportunistic and largely immoral “sincerity” of public discourse — all the more so because this discourse is so pervasive and mechanisms of defense have yet to be created or even imagined. In a situation like this\, multiple strategies emerge. Some consider pursuing authenticity rather than a compromised sincerity\, while others are desperately seeking a new locus for the poetic voice which can be trusted\, not only by others\, but also by the speaker him- or herself. \nStanislav Lvovsky (b. 1972) is former editor-in-chief of the “Literature” section of OPENSPACE.RU/ COLTA.RU and winner of several Russian literary awards\, including the Andrey Bely Prize in 2017 for the collection “Poems from the book and other poems.” He is the author of six published collections of poetry\, one short story collection and one novel (co-authored with Linor Goralik). One of his poems was the basis of the project “Quiet War Songs” (2015) by six contemporary Russian composers as well as the contemporary dance performance “Parasomnias.” Lvovsky regularly publishes articles on political and social issues\, as well as on cultural history and contemporary Russian poetry in various periodicals and academic journals. His poetry has been translated into in English\, French\, Chinese\, Italian and other languages. Currently\, he is finishing his DPhil thesis on Soviet cultural history at the University of Oxford.

SUMMARY:Pilshchikov Lecture - "Decoding the Language of Eugene Onegin:  Diachronic Challenges to Understanding Pushkin’s 'Novel in Verse'”
DESCRIPTION:“Decoding the Language of Eugene Onegin:\nDiachronic Challenges to Understanding Pushkin’s ‘Novel in Verse’”\n\nDr. Igor Pilshchikov\nVisiting Associate Professor\nUCLA \n\nFriday\, February 23\, 2018\n3:30-5pm\n348 Kaplan Hall\, UCLA \n\nThe talk is focused on a particular type of difficulty in reading Eugene Onegin that Anna Zalizniak has described as “the proximal semantic evolution effect.” This is the name she gives to the misreading and misunderstanding of a classical text that arise from the fact that we often interpret words and constructions in their contemporary sense rather than the sense which they carried in Pushkin’s lifetime. Such semantic shifts have taken place over a relatively small span of the history of the Russian language and are sometimes not easily recognizable even in well-known texts. The linguist Alexander Penkovsky wrote that this effect is “something similar to what are conventionally called ‘false friends’ in translation.” The lecture will outline a typology of now-archaic forms and diachronic “false friends” in Onegin that are often misread by Russian-speakers today\, as well as the resultant difficulties of translating Pushkin’s “novel in verse” into English. \n\nEvent Flyer

SUMMARY:Mayofis Lecture - "The Topos of Woman's (Self)-Sacrifice in Late 1830s Russian Prose: Melodramatic Narratives in the Age of ‘Official Nation-Building’"
DESCRIPTION:“The Topos of Woman’s (Self)-Sacrifice in Late 1830s Russian Prose:\nMelodramatic Narratives in the Age of ‘Official Nation-Building’”\n\nDr. Maria Mayofis\nDotsent (Assistant Professor)\nSchool of Cultural Studies\nNational Research University\nHigher School of Economics\, Moscow \n \nFriday\, February 16th\, 20183:30pm – 5:00pm348 Kaplan Hall \n\nWhen discussing the plots of Russian “society tales” published in the 1830s and 40s\, we can discern two narrative models that have yet to be studied: the story of a “dead fiancée” and the story of a “self-sacrificing woman.” In the first case\, a fiancée dies either just before a marriage or immediately after it; in the second\, a woman denies herself happiness with her beloved in order to keep her family\, or rejects his love so that another woman can marry her sweetheart. \nShould these narrative models be viewed as a legacy of late romanticism? Do they reflect the standard “formulas” of a “society tale”? Or should we analyze these plots as representations of a deeper meaning that could shed new light on the interrelation between literature\, ideology\, and society in Russia in the 1830s and 40s? \n\nEvent Flyer

SUMMARY:Hanukai Lecture - "Anxious Visions: Pushkin’s 'The Bronze Horseman' and the Poetics of Late Romanticism"
DESCRIPTION:Anxious Visions:\nPushkin’s ‘The Bronze Horseman’ and the Poetics of Late Romanticism\n\nBy Dr. Maksim Hanukai\nVisiting Assistant Professor\nUniversity of Wisconsin-Madison\n \n\nFriday\, February 09\, 2018\n03:30pm – 05:00pm\n 348 Kaplan Hall\, UCLA  \n\nFew works have fired up the tragic imagination of Russian readers as much as Pushkin’s narrative poem The Bronze Horseman. The tale of a Petersburg clerk who challenges a monument to Peter the Great after losing his fiancée (and his wits) in a devastating flood\, The Bronze Horseman has haunted the pages of Russian literature for almost two centuries\, inspiring not just a myriad new “Petersburg texts” but also a shift in the cultural mythology of Russia’s northern capital. Critics have long read The Bronze Horseman through the prism of tragic theory\, focusing primarily on Pushkin’s portrayal of conflict. This talk will take a different approach. Setting the poem in the context of Romantic theories of symbol and allegory\, I will focus on the problem of representation\, locating the philosophical and emotional basis for a new tragic vision in the unstable nature of Pushkin’s images. \n\nClick here to download the event flyer
