Content

This course targets students across the Humanities interested in Russian literature and its relation to culture, ideology and censorship.

The course will approach Russian modernism as challenged and experimentally reshaped in the context of revolution, socialism and oppression during the transition phase from Late Imperial Russia to the formation of the Soviet Union.

The theoretical part of the syllabus will mainly be within censorship theory (liberal approaches and New Censorship Theory) and literary analysis in the tradition of pragmatic semiotics.

Centered on the 1920s, we will work analytically with novels by Andrei Bely (1880-1934), Isaac Babel (1894-1940), and Mikhail Bulgakov (1891-1940). We will also look at other writers from the period, and students may choose to work with writers of their own choice within the theoretical and/or historical framework of the course.
