  1. The Making of Modern Russian Culture (SERS0010)

Description

This module is for affiliate students in Term 1 only.

This module provides an introduction to the development of Russian society and culture from the 1917 Revolution to the present day. The materials chosen to illustrate this development are drawn from the areas of prose fiction, poetry, art and film. The module focuses on the contexts in which these works emerged, their themes, and their formal properties. The texts will be read in good quality and accessible English translations, but with the introduction of some Russian language material as appropriate. Students with A-level Russian will be required to undertake more reading in Russian. Film showings will be scheduled as appropriate. The texts studied include: Evgenii Zamiatin’s My (We, 1920), Sergei Eizenshtein’s Stachka (Strike, 1924), Mikhail Bulgakov’s Sobach′e serdtse (Heart of a Dog, 1925), Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s Odin den′ Ivana Denisovicha (A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, 1962), and Viktor Pelevin’s Sinii fonar′ (Blue Lantern, 1993) collection.
