SUMMARY:Mikhail Trunin Talk - “Juri Lotman in the Soviet Debates on Structuralism (1965–1972)"
DESCRIPTION:  \nMIKHAIL TRUNIN\nResearch Fellow\, Tallinn University\n– \nJuri Lotman in the Soviet Debates\non Structuralism (1965–1972)\n– \nTuesday\, May 16\, 2017\n4:00 pm\n348 Kaplan Hall\n– \nIn his presentation Mikhail Trunin will discuss the polemics on structural methods of studying literary texts that started in the Soviet journals of the mid-1960s. He will be reviewing Juri Lotman’s article “Литературоведение должно быть наукой” (“The Study of Literature Must be an Exact Science”)\, in which he opposes such literary scholars as Pyotr Palievsky (who advocated the intuitive study of literature) and Valerian Kozhinov (one of the best known partisans of Mikhail Bakhtin). He will examine what consequences this “fight for structuralism” had for Lotman and his publishing projects\, focusing on two of Lotman’s publication projects devoted to semiotics that were organized at the beginning of 1970s. One is the series of books planned for publication with the Moscow publishing house “Искусство” (‘Art’)\, which was eventually banned. The other is an unknown collection of articles on comparative literary studies and typology of culture planned for publishing in Erevan (Armenia) but also unpublished. He will discuss the history of the afore-mentioned collection and focus on how Lotman’s contribution to it proceeds from cultural typology to the beginnings of cultural semiotics. \n– \nABOUT THE SPEAKER\nMikhail Trunin received his PhD in Russian Literature from Moscow State University 2010. His research has focused on nineteenth-century Russian literature and Russian and East European literary theory\, primarily Juri Lotman. Since 2011 he has been studying and processing the Lotman archive as a research fellow at Tallinn University in Estonia\, and has prepared an annotated edition of Lotman’s correspondence with Boris Uspensky (2016). \n– \nCLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE EVENT FLYER

SUMMARY:Artur Klinau Lecture - Minsk: The Sun City of Dreams
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a free lecture featuring Artur Klinau on Friday\, April 28\, 2017 at 2pm in 311 Kaplan Hall. \nARTUR KLINAU (born 1965) is a key player in the nonconformist art movement in contemporary Belarus. A kulturträger\, artist\, writer\, and filmmaker\, Klinau has been a fixture on the Belarusian and post-Soviet cultural scene for the past three decades. In 1998\, he founded the Belarusian Association of Contemporary Art and still serves as its leader. He also conceived NAVINKI\, the only Belarusian festival of performance art. In 2012\, Klinau was included in the national Belarusian exhibition at the 54th International Biennale in Venice. In his career\, Klinau has participated in more than a hundred group exhibitions and more than thirty personal exhibitions. \nKlinau began his work in the 1980s as a painter and a participant in the Minsk underground movement of the 1990s. With Lukashenko’s rise to power in 1994\, Klinau transitioned to installation art\, with pieces including The Death of Pioneer 1 and 2 (1995-2000)\, The Columbarium of World Literature (1998)\, Palacci Per Ucelli (2001)\, A Sweet Straw Life (2003\, 2005)\, Partisan Boutique Transportable (2006)\, and The Last Supper (2012). \nIn 2002\, Klinau founded pARTisan\, a magazine of contemporary art. As the chief editor of pARTisan\, Klinau maintains the magazine and an online multimedia platform that supports the Belarusian contemporary art movement\, fostering its production and criticism. pARTisan remains one of the few spaces where post-Soviet Belarusian cultural identity is articulated and negotiated. \nIn 2006\, Artur Klinau wrote Minsk. The Sun City of Dreams\, a book dedicated to his utopian vision of the city of Minsk. The book was first published in Germany and was later translated into Polish\, Swedish\, Hungarian\, and Russian. His novel Shalom. A War Novel. (2011) was translated into Russian and German\, and another novel\, Shklatara (2013)\, received the Giedroyc Prize in Belarus (2014). \nSince 2009\, Klinau has been working in the film industry\, collaborating with the Belarusian director Andrei Kudzinenka. Klinau worked as an art director of the mystical thriller Massacre (2010)\, Hard Reboot (2014)\, and as a screenwriter for another mystical thriller\, The Nobleman Zawalnia (2010). This film is based on famous literary work by the nineteenth-century century Belarusian writer Jan Barszczewski\, one of the early texts articulating Belarusian identity.

SUMMARY:Anna Karenina in the Twenty-first Century: Shapify!
DESCRIPTION:Nearly 150 years after its writing\, Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina continues to offer up new insights to readers and translators alike\, discoveries arguably made possible by the passage of time. The novel’s most recent translation\, by Marian Schwartz\, takes a hard look at Tolstoy as a stylist and how he wielded aesthetics to bring home moral principles. In her talk\, Schwartz will argue for a language-centric view of this masterpiece of Russian—and world—literature. \n  \nAbout the speaker: \n  \n\n  \nMarian Schwartz began her career in literary translation in 1978 with her translation of Landmarks\, a 1909 collection of essays on the Russian intelligentsia written by some of Russia’s most eminent philosophers of the day. In the nearly four decades since then she has published over seventy-five volumes of fiction and nonfiction—biography\, criticism\, fine arts\, and history. In that time\, she has received a number of awards\, including the 2014 Read Russia Prize for Best Translation of Contemporary Russian Literature\, for her translation of Leonid Yuzefovich’s Harlequin’s Costume and\, most recently\, the Soeurette Diehl Frasier Award from the Texas Institute of Letters for her translation of Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina. \nSchwartz studied Russian at Harvard University\, Middlebury Russian School\, and Leningrad State University and received a Master of Arts in Slavic Languages and Literatures from the University of Texas at Austin in 1975\, after which she headed to New York to try her hand at publishing. Two years as an assistant editor for Praeger Publishers led to the freelancer’s life\, which she has embraced ever since\, including a five-year engagement translating the quarterly Russian Studies in Literature. \nIn recent years\, Schwartz has retranslated several Russian classics—Mikhail Lermontov’s A Hero of Our Time\, Yuri Olesha’s Envy\, Mikhail Bulgakov’s White Guard\, Ivan Goncharov’s Oblomov\, and Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina—but remains committed nonetheless to contemporary Russian literature. Current authors include Olga Slavnikova\, Andrei Gelasimov\, Leonid Yuzefovich\, Mikhail Shishkin\, and Sergei Kuznetsov; in 2011\, AmazonCrossing published her translation of Gelasimov’s Thirst\, followed in subsequent years by his The Lying Year\, Gods of the Steppe\, Rachel\, and Into the Thickening Fog. \nSchwartz is a past president of the American Literary Translators Association and the recipient of two Translation Fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts. \nFor more\, go to her website: www.marianschwartz.com

SUMMARY:Refusenik
DESCRIPTION:Film Synopsis: \nREFUSENIK is the first retrospective documentary to chronicle the thirty-year movement to free Soviet Jews. It shows how a small grassroots effort bold enough to take on a Cold War superpower blossomed into an international human rights campaign that engaged the disempowered and world leaders alike. Told through the eyes of activists on both sides of the Iron Curtain – many of whom survived punishment in Soviet Gulag labor camps – the film is a tapestry of first-person accounts of heroism\, sacrifice\, and ultimately\, liberation. \nREFUSENIK illustrates how individuals can utilize the power inherent in a tolerant democracy and literally change the world. The tactics and methods developed by activists in this struggle became examples to the rest of the world\, forever changing the human rights landscape. \nRuntime: 120 min. Release year: 2008. Language: English. \n*Film shown in conjunction with Russian 191: Russian Jews of Los Angeles on Display \nCo-sponsored by the UCLA Alan D. Leve Center for Jewish Studies

SUMMARY:Mandelstam's Venice and Some Forgotten Paintings
DESCRIPTION:“Venetian Life” (1920) is one of Osip Mandelstam’s most complex and semantically rich poems\, and many a study has been devoted to deciphering this text. Even at the most rudimentary level\, however\, this project is far from complete. The principal genre-determining subtext of the poem has gone unnoticed\, as have other intertextual connections. An examination of newly discovered pictorial subtexts demonstrates the decisive part played by ecphrasis in the poem and enables one to adopt the author’s genre positioning of “Venetian Life” as a poetic vanitas\, one that is not only formally constructed according to the same principle as various vanitates in painting\, but also lays claim to the totality of the genre’s traditional meanings. \n  \nProfessor Alexander Kulik’s research concentrates on the cross-cultural transmission of texts and ideas. His scholarly interests encompass Slavic and Jewish studies. He received his Ph.D. from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and conducted post-doctoral research at Harvard University. Kulik has authored three books: Retroverting Slavonic Pseudepigrapha (two editions: Society of Biblical Literature: Atlanta GA\, 2004 and Leiden-Boston: Brill\, 2005)\, 3 Baruch: Greek-Slavonic Apocalypse of Baruch (Berlin-New York: Walter de Gruyter\, 2009)\, Biblical Pseudepigrapha in Slavonic Tradition (Oxford: Oxford University Press\, 2015; with S. Minov); and edited the collected volume History of the Jews in Russia: From Antiquity to Early Modern Period (Jerusalem-Moscow: Shazar/Gesharim\, 2010). Kulik has founded and headed the Brill book series “Studia Judaeoslavica.” Presently he servers as Associate Professor and Chair of the Program of Russian and East European Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Alexander Kulik has held visiting positions at Moscow State University\, University College London\, Stanford\, Oxford\, Freie Universität Berlin\, and Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia.

SUMMARY:The Shaman and the Greengrocer: Revisiting Václav Havel’s “The Power of the Powerless”
DESCRIPTION:Václav Havel’s idea of “living in truth” has become a catchphrase in discussions of East Central European dissent during the Cold War. Behind this seemingly straightforward idea\, however\, were many competing ideas about what the truth is\, how we can know it\, and how we might “live in” it. Havel’s own accounts of “living in truth” can be read against parallel works by members of the music underground\, including the eccentric philosopher\, poet\, and novelist Egon Bondy\, whose 1976 science-fiction novel The Shaman offers a more mystical account of truth and transcendence. Is the search for truth a civic activity\, or a private and mystical discipline? And how might different ideas of truth inflect a dissident’s political behavior? Jonathan Bolton’s talk will re-examine Havel’s landmark essay “The Power of the Powerless” in an attempt to place “living in truth” in its contemporary context and to ask why it might still be relevant today. \nAbout the speaker:  \nJonathan Bolton is Professor of Slavic Languages and Literatures at Harvard University\, and is currently a Visiting Distinguished Fellow at the Gould Center for Humanistic Studies at Claremont McKenna College. His book Worlds of Dissent: Charter 77\, The Plastic People of the Universe\, and Czech Culture under Communism (Harvard University Press\, 2012) offers a new approach to East European dissent during the 1970s and 1980s\, seeking to refine romanticized and idealistic cold-war images of dissidents to consider the complex realities\, myriad daily practices\, and ironic attitudes that shaped political opposition to Communism. Bolton pays particular attention to dissidents’ own writings – diaries\, letters\, and essays – to understand why many intellectuals rejected the label “dissident” and sought a more textured and complicated account of their own activities. Worlds of Dissent won numerous prizes and was named a Foreign Affairs best book on Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet Republics for 2012. Bolton also translates Czech fiction and poetry\, and is the editor and translator of In the Puppet Gardens: Selected Poems\, 1963-2005 (Michigan Slavic Publications\, 2012)\, a collection of work by contemporary poet Ivan Wernisch.
