  • James Rowson Phd Thesis Politics and Putinism a Critical Examination

    James Rowson Phd Thesis Politics and Putinism a Critical Examination

    Politics and Putinism: A Critical Examination of New Russian Drama James Rowson A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Royal Holloway, University of London Department of Drama, Theatre & Dance September 2017 1 Declaration of Authorship I James Rowson hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: ______________________ Date: ________________________ 2 Abstract This thesis will contextualise and critically explore how New Drama (Novaya Drama) has been shaped by and adapted to the political, social, and cultural landscape under Putinism (from 2000). It draws on close analysis of a variety of plays written by a burgeoning collection of playwrights from across Russia, examining how this provocative and political artistic movement has emerged as one of the most vehement critics of the Putin regime. This study argues that the manifold New Drama repertoire addresses key facets of Putinism by performing suppressed and marginalised voices in public arenas. It contends that New Drama has challenged the established, normative discourses of Putinism presented in the Russian media and by Putin himself, and demonstrates how these productions have situated themselves in the context of the nascent opposition movement in Russia. By doing so, this thesis will offer a fresh perspective on how New Drama’s precarious engagement with Putinism provokes political debate in contemporary Russia, and challenges audience members to consider their own role in Putin’s autocracy. The first chapter surveys the theatrical and political landscape in Russia at the turn of the millennium, focusing on the political and historical contexts of New Drama in Russian theatre and culture.

It examines the development of ideas of collectivism and individualism in Russian society, focusing on the cultural aspects based on the examples of selected works from Russian literature. It also searches for the answers in the philosophical works of Vladimir Solovyov, Nicolas Berdyaev and Vladimir Lossky.

    Social Media and Civil Society in the Russian Protests, December 2011

    Department of Informatics and Media Social Science – major in Media and Communication Studies Fall 2013 Master Two Years Thesis Social Media and Civil Society in the Russian Protests, December 2011 The role of social media in engagement of people in the protests and their self- identification with civil society Daria Dmitrieva Fall 2013 Supervisor: Dr. Gregory Simons Researcher at Uppsala Centre for Russian and Eurasian Studies 1 2 ABSTRACT The study examines the phenomenon of the December protests in Russia when thousands of citizens were involved in the protest movement after the frauds during the Parliamentary elections. There was a popular opinion in the Internet media that at that moment Russia experienced establishment of civil society, since so many people were ready to express their discontent publically for the first time in 20 years. The focus of this study is made on the analysis of the roles that social media played in the protest movement. As it could be observed at the first glance, recruiting and mobilising individuals to participation in the rallies were mainly conducted via social media. The research analyses the concept of civil society and its relevance to the protest rhetoric and investigates, whether there was a phenomenon of civil society indeed and how it was connected to individuals‘ motivation for joining the protest. The concept of civil society is discussed through the social capital, social and political trust, e- democracy and mediatisation frameworks. The study provides a comprehensive description of the events, based on mainstream and new media sources, in order to depict the nature and the development of the movement.

    Doctor Zhivago by B. Pasternak in Chinese Literature Studies: the Role and Place of Metaphor in the Artistic Whole of the Novel

    2020 2nd International Conference on Pedagogy, Communication and Sociology (ICPCS 2020) ISBN: 978-1-60595-663-3 Doctor Zhivago by B. Pasternak in Chinese Literature Studies: The Role and Place of Metaphor in the Artistic Whole of the Novel Xiaomin ZHANG* and Alexander Georgievich KOVALENKO Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia, 17198, Moscow, Miklukho-Maklaya Street, 6. Russia *Corresponding author Keywords: Novel Doctor Zhivago, Poetics, Chinese Criticism, Artistic Features, Narratology. Abstract. The relevance of the topic of the article is attributable primarily to the following circumstances: 1. the necessity of the comparative study of the artistic space, time, structure and composition of Pasternak’s novel Doctor Zhivago by Russian and Chinese literary scholars; 2. the importance of the study of philosophical and religious views of the author and their influence on the peculiarities of the literary work contouring; 3. comparative study of views on the problematics, space and time system of the work. The article deals with the peculiarities of the interpretation of the artistic features of the novel Doctor Zhivago by B. Pasternak in the studies of Chinese literary scholars. It is stated based on the analysis conducted by the author that the narrative structure, artistic space, time and composition are the most important characteristics of the work. They ensure a perceptual unity of the artistic world. At the same time, these categories are inextricably linked, they define and reveal each other, create a complex system of relationships between characters, images, events, places, and artistic reality as a whole. The conclusion is that the complex narrative structure of B. Pasternak’s novel allows several levels of its reading.
