Lissitzky returned to Russia in 1914, continuing his studies in Moscow where he attended the Riga Polytechnical Institute. After the Revolution, Lissitzky became very active in Jewish cultural activities, creating a series of inventive illustrations for books with Jewish themes. These formed some of his earliest experiments in typography, a key area of artistic activity that would occupy him for the remainder of his life.

Dissertation Advisor: Professor Maria Gough Samuel Johnson “The Architecture of the Book”: El Lissitzky’s Works on Paper, 1919-1937 Abstract Although widely respected as an abstract painter, the Russian Jewish artist and architect El Lissitzky produced more works on paper than in any other medium during his twenty year career. Both a highly competent lithographer and a pioneer in the application of modernist principles to letterpress typography, Lissitzky advocated for works of art issued in “thousands of identical originals” even before the avant-garde embraced photography and film.

  • The Poet Takes Himself Apart on Stage: Vladimir Mayakovsky's
    The Poet Takes Himself Apart on Stage: Vladimir Mayakovsky’s Poetic Personae in Vladimir Mayakovsky: Tragediia and Misteriia-buff By Jasmine Trinks Senior Honors Thesis Department of Germanic & Slavic Languages and Literatures University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill March 2015 Approved: ____________________________ Kevin Reese, Thesis Advisor Radislav Lapushin, Reader CONTENTS INTRODUCTION………………………………………………1 CHAPTER I: Mayakovsky’s Superfluous Sacrifice: The Poetic Persona in Vladimir Mayakovsky: Tragediia………………….....4 CHAPTER II: The Poet-Prophet Confronts the Collective: The Poetic Persona in Two Versions of Misteriia-buff………………25 CONCLUSION…………………………………………………47 BIBLIOGRAPHY………………………………………………50 ii INTRODUCTION In his biography of Vladimir Mayakovsky, Edward J. Brown describes the poet’s body of work as a “regular alternation of lyric with political or historical themes,” noting that Mayakovsky’s long lyric poems, like Человек [Man, 1916] and Про это [About That, 1923] are followed by the propagandistic Мистерия-буфф [Mystery-Bouffe, 1918] and Владимир Ильич Ленин [Vladimir Il’ich Lenin, 1924], respectively (Brown 109). While Brown’s assessment of Mayakovsky’s work is correct in general, it does not allow for adequate consideration of the development of his poetic persona over the course of his career, which is difficult to pinpoint, due in part to the complex interplay of the lyrical and historical in his poetry. In order to investigate the problem of Mayakovsky’s ever-changing and contradictory poetic persona, I have chosen to examine two of his plays: Владимир Маяковский: Трагедия [Vladimir Mayakovsky: A Tragedy, 1913] and both the 1918 and 1921 versions of Mystery- Bouffe. My decision to focus on Mayakovsky's plays arose from my desire to examine what I termed the “spectacle-ization” of the poet’s ego—that is, the representation of the poetic persona in a physical form alive and on stage.

  • Introduction
    Introduction The PRESSA opened its doors in Cologne on 12 May 1928. To this day, this international press exhibition, deemed by contemporaries to be the “world’s first look at the press” is unrivalled in size and importance. By the time the last ticket had been sold that October, more than five million visitors from Ger- many and around the world had taken in the facilities, halls and pavilions on the Deutzer banks of the Rhine, all of which had required an unprecedented degree of time and effort to build. They were able to admire the press exhibits and cultural presentations of the many participating nations (including the members of the League of Nations), attend the exhibition’s many informative and entertaining events and see the numerous tourist attractions in and around the host city and along the Rhine. Despite its contemporary and media-historical significance, the PRESSA has, in retrospect, hardly been studied. One might even say that it has been for- gotten. On the occasion of the 80th anniversary of its inauguration, an interna- tional interdisciplinary conference was therefore organised by the Centre for European and International Studies Research at the University of Portsmouth, the Institute of “Deutsche Presseforschung” at the University of Bremen and the Bremen Society for German Press Research in order to come to terms with the PRESSA’s significance. Along with presentations on the preparation and implementation of the exhibition and its political and artistic implications, the conference also dealt with the appearance of the German-Jewish press at the PRESSA. For the first time this press had the chance to present itself, in its own pavilion no less, as part of the general press to a wider public.

  • UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Fillia's Futurism Writing
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Fillia’s Futurism Writing, Politics, Gender and Art after the First World War A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Italian By Adriana Marie Baranello 2014 © Copyright by Adriana Marie Baranello 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Fillia’s Futurism Writing, Politics, Gender and Art after the First World War By Adriana Marie Baranello Doctor of Philosophy in Italian University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Lucia Re, Co-Chair Professor Claudio Fogu, Co-Chair Fillia (Luigi Colombo, 1904-1936) is one of the most significant and intriguing protagonists of the Italian futurist avant-garde in the period between the two World Wars, though his body of work has yet to be considered in any depth. My dissertation uses a variety of critical methods (socio-political, historical, philological, narratological and feminist), along with the stylistic analysis and close reading of individual works, to study and assess the importance of Fillia’s literature, theater, art, political activism, and beyond. Far from being derivative and reactionary in form and content, as interwar futurism has often been characterized, Fillia’s works deploy subtler, but no less innovative forms of experimentation. For most of his brief but highly productive life, Fillia lived and worked in Turin, where in the early 1920s he came into contact with Antonio Gramsci and his factory councils. This led to a period of extreme left-wing communist-futurism. In the mid-1920s, following Marinetti’s lead, Fillia moved toward accommodation with the fascist regime. This shift to the right eventually even led to a phase ii dominated by Catholic mysticism, from which emerged his idiosyncratic and highly original futurist sacred art.

It assesses the impact of Russian technological Modernism, especially Constructivism, in the United States, chiefly in New York where it was disseminated, mimicked, and redefined. It is based on the paradox that Americans travelling to Europe and Russia on cultural pilgrimages to escape America were greeted with ‘Amerikanismus’ and ‘Amerikanizm’, where America represented the vanguard of technological modernity.
