Bonnell, Chair Professor Ann Swidler Professor Yuri Slezkine Fall 2013 Abstract Directed Culture: The Spectator and Dialogues of Power in Early Soviet Theater by Howard Douglas Allen Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology University of California, Berkeley Professor Victoria E. Bonnell, Chair The theater played an essential role in the making of the Soviet system. Its sociological interest not only lies in how it reflected contemporary society and politics: the theater was an integral part of society and politics. As a preeminent institution in the social and cultural life of Moscow, the theater was central to transforming public consciousness from the time of 1905 Revolution. The analysis of a selected set of theatrical premieres from the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917 to the end of Cultural Revolution in 1932 examines the values, beliefs, and attitudes that defined Soviet culture and the revolutionary ethos. The stage contributed to creating, reproducing, and transforming the institutions of Soviet power by bearing on contemporary experience. The power of the dramatic theater issued from artistic conventions, the emotional impact of theatrical productions, and the extensive intertextuality between theatrical performances, the press, propaganda, politics, and social life. Reception studies of the theatrical premieres address the complex issue of the spectator’s experience of meaning—and his role in the construction of meaning. The evolving historical context and the changing institutional foundations of theater altered the interpretive contexts of performance. The discussion of interpretive communities and audience tastes draws on reviews in the contemporary press and the data from theater surveys conducted during the 1920s. The theaters continually sought to align their aesthetics with the demands of the regime and the preferences of theatergoing publics. In addition, ideology served as a form of currency in the polemics among theater directors and theater critics who were engaged in the contest for dominance in the theater world. The theater spectator became a central ideological figure invoked by warring interpretive communities in these ongoing dialogues of power. The theater became politicized under Soviet rule; under Stalin it became a deformed expression of mass politics. 1 Contents List of Illustrations iii Acknowledgements v Note on Transliteration vi INTRODUCTON: ENTERTAINING IDEAS 1 The Spectator and Dialogues of Power Directed Culture: The Bolshevization of Theater The Experience of Meaning 1.

Moscow Dramatic Theaters, 1925 165 iv Acknowledgements Many people and institutions have supported this project. I wish to thank Victoria Bonnell whose graduate seminars inspired me to undertake the study of theater art and Soviet culture. To borrow a term from Stanislavsky, Ann Swidler encouraged me to develop the sociological “through-lines” of the dissertation. They provided guidance, critical readings, and generous advice. Mel Gordon’s encyclopedic knowledge of Soviet theater was a tremendous resource. He provided me with video footage of theater productions from the era. Yuri Slezkine also read the manuscript and provided critical advice. I wish to express my deep gratitude to all of them. Various institutions funded the archival research in Russia, the collection of source materials, and the writing of the dissertation. I wish to thank the International Research and Exchanges Board (IREX), the Social Sciences Research Council (SSRC), the American Council of Teachers of Russian (ACTR), the National Science Foundation (NSF), the University of California-St. Petersburg Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences Faculty Exchange Program, and the Graduate Division, the Institute of International Studies, and the Berkeley-Stanford Program at the University of California at Berkeley. Grateful acknowledgement is made to the Russian State Archive of Literature and Art, the State Archive of the Russian Federation, and the Central State Archive of Moscow; the Museum of the Moscow Art Theater and the Bakhrushin State Museum; the Lunacharsky Theater Library; the Russian National Library; the Library of Congress; the Chicago Public Library; and the libraries of the University of California at Berkeley and Northwestern University. Finally, I wish to thank the many others who have contributed in various ways to the dissertation. It is dedicated to the memory of my parents and brother. v Note on Transliteration and Dates In the text, titles of plays, organizations, and journals have been given in English translation, with the original Russian in parentheses or in the notes. Also, I have rendered names and places in their familiar, anglicized forms, such as Nadezhda Krupskaya and Kronstadt. In the notes and the bibliography, the Library of Congress system of transliteration has been used. In February 1918, Russia adopted the new style (Gregorian) calendar used in Western Europe and the United States. The old style (Julian) calendar was thirteen days behind the new style calendar at the time of the Bolshevik Revolution. Hence, the October Revolution, which occurred on the twenty-fifth of the month in 1917, was celebrated on the seventh of November beginning in 1918.

    Introduction Commedia Dell’Arte: History, Myth, Reception Daniele Vianello

    Introduction Commedia dell’Arte: History, Myth, Reception Daniele Vianello Today, the commedia dell’arte is widely regarded as one of the most significant phenomena in the history of European theatre. Its famous stock characters, which have become an integral part of the collective imagin- ation, are widely accepted as the very emblem of theatre. From the second half of the twentieth century onwards, the commedia dell’arte has been the subject of substantial research, mostly by Italian scholars, who have re-evaluated its characteristic features and constitutive elements. These studies remain largely untranslated in English. Further- more, there are no publications which provide a comprehensive overview of this complex phenomenon or which reconstruct not only its history but also its fortunes over time and space. An historical overview was published by Kenneth and Laura Richards in , but this is now considered dated. More recent studies are limited to the discussion of specific issues or to particular geographical areas or periods of time. For example, Robert Henke (), Anne MacNeil () and M. A. Katritzky () analyse individual aspects between the late Renaissance and the early seventeenth century. The Routledge Companion to Commedia dell’Arte (Chaffee and Crick ) has the practitioner rather than the scholar in focus. In Italy, Roberto Tessari () and Siro Ferrone (), in their important recent contributions focus almost exclusively on the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The main purpose of this book is to retrace the history of the improvvisa in light of its legendary past, with special focus on the theatrical practices and theoretical deliberations in the century which has just ended.

  • Tragedy, Realism, Skepticism

    Tragedy, Realism, Skepticism

    Tragedy, Realism, Skepticism BENJAMIN MANGRUM Many current accounts of the relationship between tragedy and modern realism present these generic traditions as not only distinct but even rigidly opposed. Critics who trace the advent of modern realism — most often through the rise of the novel — have maintained that its origins lie in the development of the middle class, the transformation of the medieval romance, the global dissemination of European civilization, or the consolidation of bourgeois ideology and subjectivity (see McKeon 2002, 52 – 63; Davidson 2004, 73 – 100; Azim 1993; Viswanathan 1989, 23 – 44). In these literary histories, the generic formation of the realist novel is the antithesis to the history of “tragic” literary forms. Indeed, the cursory dif- ference between a lengthy (prose) narrative and a concentrated (poetic) drama masks a host of tensions. The novel narrativizes middle-class values, whereas tragedies stage the fall of aristocratic or “great” houses; the realist novel purport- edly democratizes literature, while tragedies regularly presuppose some form of antipathy toward the mundane or lower classes (see Aristotle 1999, 35); a “real- ist” or secular view of history underlies the novel, while tragedy seems to enfold human agency within the forces of divine fate;1 the novel protracts drama across time, whereas tragedy intensifies it into momentous events;2 the novel is con- cerned with subjectivity (see Armstrong 2006), while tragedy explores the dis- solution of the individual, the doxastic wisdom of the chorus, or the demands of 1. In The Historical Novel (1983), Georg Lukács situates the works of Sir Walter Scott within the production of bourgeois consciousness and a view of history that contrasts sharply with its precursors, the epic and tragedy.
  • The Performative Nature of Dramatic Imagination

    The Performative Nature of Dramatic Imagination

    PERFORMANCE PHILOSOPHY E-ISSN 2237-2660 The Performative Nature of Dramatic Imagination Rubén Vega BalbásI IUniversidad Nebrija – Madrid, Spain ABSTRACT – The Performative Nature of Dramatic Imagination – Creative imagination is a central concept in critical philosophy which establishes the framing faculty of the subject in the middle of the cognitive process. Linking the internal and the external, imagination is also key for dramatic acting methodologies. This mediation has been alternatively interpreted in Western tradition under a reversible perspective, giving priority to either the process that goes from the outside inwards (aesthesis) or just the opposite (poiesis). Going beyond dialectics, this article will connect philosophy with dramatic theory. My proposal explores the virtual drama of identity to emphasise how the transcendental and empirical get linked theatrically. Keywords: Imagination. Drama. Performance. Acting. Performance Philosophy. RÉSUMÉ – La Nature Performatif de l’Imagination Créatice – L’imagination créatrice est un concept central de la philosophie critique qui établit la faculté de cadrage du sujet, dans la mesure où elle joue le rôle de médiateur entre le monde mental et le monde matériel, au milieu du processus cognitif. Liant l’imaginaire à l’externe, l’imagination est également essentielle pour les méthodologies du jeu dramatique. Cette médiation a été interprétée alternativement dans la tradition occidentale selon une perspective réversible, en donnant la priorité soit au processus allant de l’extérieur vers l’intérieur (aesthesis), soit au contraire (la poiesis). Au-delà de la dialectique, cet article associera la philosophie à la théorie dramatique. Ma thèse explore le drame virtuel de l’identité et, si l’imagination et les actes performatifs dépendent les uns des autres en tant que poursuites humaines, avec le terme dramatisation je souligne comment le transcendantal et l’empirique sont liés théâtralement.

Cultural Exchange: The Role of Stanislavsky and the Moscow Art Theatre’s 1923 and 1924 American Tours. Master of Arts (History), August 2014, 105 pp., bibliography, 43 titles. The following is a historical analysis on the Moscow Art Theatre’s (MAT) tours to the United States in 1923 and 1924, and the developments and changes that occurred in Russian and American theatre cultures as a result of those visits. Konstantin Stanislavsky, the MAT’s co-founder and director, developed the System as a new tool used to help train actors—it provided techniques employed to develop their craft and get into character. This would drastically change modern acting in Russia, the United States and throughout the world. The MAT’s first (January 2, 1923 – June 7, 1923) and second (November 23, 1923 – May 24, 1924) tours provided a vehicle for the transmission of the System. In addition, the tour itself impacted the culture of the countries involved. Thus far, the implications of the 1923 and 1924 tours have been ignored by the historians, and have mostly been briefly discussed by the theatre professionals. This thesis fills the gap in historical knowledge.

    3. Ostap Bender: the King Is Born

    ——————————————— Ostap Bender: The King Is Born ——————————————— CHAPTER 3 OSTAP BENDER: THE KING IS BORN — 89 — —————————————————— CHAPTER THREE —————————————————— — 90 — ——————————————— Ostap Bender: The King Is Born ——————————————— Dvenadtsat’ stuliev (The Twelve Chairs, 1928) and Zolotoi telenok (The Golden Calf, 1931, Soviet book edition 1933), by Ilya Il’f and Evgenii Petrov, hold a unique place in Soviet culture. Although incorporated into the official canon of SocialistR ealist satire (a phenomenon whose very existence was constantly put into question), the books “became a pool of quotes for several generations of Soviet intellectuals, who found the diptych to be a nearly overt travesty of propagandistic formulae, newspaper slogans, and the dictums of the founders of ‘Marxism- Leninism.’ Paradoxically, this ‘Soviet literary classic’ was read as anti- Soviet literature.” (Odesskii and Feldman, 6) As Mikhail Odesskii and David Feldman (12–25) have shown, Dvenadtsat’ stuliev was commissioned to Valentin Kataev and his “brigade” in 1927 by Vladimir Narbut, editor-in-chief of the journal 30 days, which serialized the novel throughout the first half of 1928. Narbut also was a director of a major publishing house, “Zemlia i Fabrika” (“Land and Factory”), which released the novel in book form after the journal publication. Kataev, already a recognized writer, invited two young journalists into his “brigade,” his brother Petrov and Il’f—an old acquaintance from Odessa and a colleague at the newspaper Gudok (Train Whistle) where Kataev had also worked in the past—letting them develop his story of a treasure hidden inside one chair of a dining room set. However, once Kataev had ascertained that the co-authors were managing fine without a “master’s oversight,” the older brother left the group and the agreement with the journal and publisher was passed on to Il’f and Petrov.
