2021 Conference Abstracts AATSEEL 2021 Conference Program Presentation Abstracts SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 2021 Session 1: 10:00am-12:00pm 1-1. Instructional Practice and Design for the 2020s: Inclusive and High-Impact Approaches to Language, Literature, and Culture Teaching for Liberal Arts Goals in the Literature and Culture in Translation Courses Benjamin Rifkin, Hofstra University In the context of a significant decline in the birth rate in the US that is and will continue to be correlated with reduced numbers of students entering college through at least the year 2030, it is increasingly important for Slavic language and culture programs to redouble efforts to attract and retain students in their classes. Our literature in translation classes will continue to attract students interested in Dostoevsky or Tolstoy, but that may not be enough in some institutions. In this presentation, I will describe how the teaching of Russian literature and culture can be taught in the context of larger liberal arts goals, integrating liberal arts learning tasks into the discussion of Russian cultural and literary history and stylistic analysis. To that end, my discussion will be informed by the discussion of the essential learning outcomes of the Liberal Education and America’s Promise campaign of the Association of American Colleges and Universities (aacu.org/leap), high-impact practices in higher education (Kuh and Schneider, 2008), the notion of significant learning (Fink, 2013), analysis of student intellectual and personal development during the college years (Patton, Renn, Guido, and Hayes, 2016), and a framework for understanding student retention in college (Tinto, 2015). I will argue that course design informed by these conceptual frameworks will help increase student interest in and enrollment in courses dedicated to the exploration of Slavic literatures and cultures taught in translation and will help in student retention more broadly, enhancing institutional support for these programs at a time of declining enrollments in higher education nationally. Diversity and Inclusion in the Russian Language Classroom? Joan Chevalier, United States Naval Academy Recent events in the United States that have brought about the emergence of the Black Lives Matter movement as a powerful force for social and political change have forced educators across a wide array of disciplines to reevaluate who, what, and how they teach. Our field is long 1 overdue for a critical appraisal of what diversity and inclusion means in our classrooms. There are two fundamental parts to the issue of diversity and inclusion: how we interact with students and course content. This paper focuses on the latter. The traditional approach to our discipline is rooted in the notion that since we are teaching Standard Russian, we should focus exclusively on Russian language and culture. The traditional approach is rooted in a kind of cultural chauvinism which at the very least deprives students of an understanding of what the Russian Federation (RF) is – a multiethnic and multilingual nation. At worst this approach, by ignoring the diverse cultures that speak Russian within the RF, reifies the cultural exclusion routinely experienced by indigenous communities within Russia. There is much to be gained by including non-Russian voices in our language classrooms. Students introduced to the diverse cultures that make up Russia get a more accurate sense of what the RF is. But how do we move discussions of diversity in Russia beyond the juxtaposition of russkii and rossiiskii? As researcher with several years of experience doing ethnographic research in Siberia, I will argue that a good place to begin is to introduce voices of indigenous youth from Russia. Indigenous youth in recent years have poignantly used music, often with humor, to articulate their identity struggles. What does it mean to be Russian? What does it mean to be ethnically and culturally non-Russian but be a citizen of the RF? Culturally and ethnically diverse youth in the United States are dealing with many of these same issues. By expanding our understanding of rossiiskii we can both enrich our students’ cultural literacy and expose them to timely cultural and social narratives that might resonate with their own. Think Tank for BIPOC Students Amarilis Lugo de Fabritz, Howard University This paper will talk about the point of inspiration for the US Russian Foundation – Howard University mentorship program, Diversifying the Russian Studies Field, which included a research think tank for undergraduate BIPOC students, as well as a cybersecurity simulation. It will also theorize about what shape it might take for its second cycle. Session 3: 2:00pm-4:00pm 3-1. Open Seminar with Thomas Garza (University of Texas - Austin): The Myth of «Шире круг»: Addressing Diversity and Intersectionality in the Teaching of Russian The venerable Soviet-era notion of the great, all-inclusive «многонациональная» country and culture of the USSR was a central part of the narrative created by a Russian hegemony for most of the 20th century. Reflected in the cultural iconography such as civic poster images and popular children’s songs that depicted a Russo-centric utopic imaginary of diverse creatures all playing in harmony, the myth of Soviet acceptance of cultures other than Russian belied the actual practices of the period, including in language pedagogy. Most Russian language textbooks reflected a monolithic Russian culture that was white, educated, relatively affluent, and heteronormative. Such a portrait of the Russian reality, which continues to be presented to learners of the language 2 and culture in the 2000s, not only excludes crucial demographic segments of the Russian population domestically, but also fails to connect with the diverse profiles and identities of learners outside of Russia. The shift in public awareness of pervasive institutional prejudices in the spring of 2020 has provided the impetus to review and change practices in the academy, including in language and culture instruction. From the groundbreaking work of Paolo Freire’s Pedagogy of the Oppressed (1968) to the recent discussion of Reagan and Osborn (2021) in their search for “the promise of social justice” in world language education, critical pedagogies strive to rupture the institutionalized colonial yoke pervasive in much of world language education. From course curricula to current textbooks to online virtual learning environments, much of the content and delivery of world language classes remains steeped in the ideological and material context of colonial hegemony, creating barriers and obstacles in our courses for learners and instructors alike. This workshop will offer models and practices necessary to reimagine and “decolonize” our Russian language and culture courses. Participants will be asked to engage critically with sample materials and methods of language courses probably already familiar to them, as well as to examine models of new courses in Russian language and culture. The goal of the workshop is to equip participants to review their own modes and materials of language and culture instruction and then recast them into new iterations informed by critical pedagogies, creating curricula and courses that are more inclusive, diverse, and intersectional. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2021 Session 5: 9:00am-11:00am 5-1. Digital Directions in Russian, Eastern European, and Eurasian Studies: Collaboration, Platforms, Visibility Digital Humanities, Libraries, and the Global Classroom Vlad Beronja and Ian Goodale, University of Texas at Austin Our paper, “Digital Humanities, Libraries, and the Global Classroom” will focus on the intersection between digital humanities practice and critical global pedagogy in classes taught for undergraduates and graduate students, looking at the ways in which students, librarians, and faculty collaborate in culturally and discipline-specific DH projects within a classroom setting. We will explore how this collaboration between faculty, librarians, and students can become an integral part of class design and global pedagogical practice, as well as how the DH work influences traditional pedagogical methods and reinforces--and challenges--other ways of teaching in the classroom. We will also address questions of how labor contributed by students to DH projects is honored and acknowledged, and how the DH work is designed as a dual pedagogical tool: one that simultaneously reinforces the readings and written assignments of the course and broadens the skillsets of the students by incorporating instruction related to unfamiliar, digital technologies and methodologies. Special focus will be placed on the field of Slavic studies and the ways in which DH assignments can foster specific cultural and regional knowledge within a wider global framework. 3 Digital Archives and Other forms of Digital Research Joan Neuberger, University of Texas at Austin Russian language repositories have been in the forefront of digitizing archival documents and archival finding aids but making the transition to using those archives as a substantial portion of historical and cultural research —a necessity for some, in the era of Covid -- is not always a seamless process. I will discuss the project that the Eisenstein International Network has been working on to make research on Eisenstein-related topics more accessible, and suggest ways these might be useful for researchers in other fields.

  • A Russian Eschatology: Theological Reflections on the Music of Dmitri Shostakovich
    A Russian Eschatology: Theological Reflections on the Music of Dmitri Shostakovich Submitted by Anna Megan Davis to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theology in December 2011 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. 2 3 Abstract Theological reflection on music commonly adopts a metaphysical approach, according to which the proportions of musical harmony are interpreted as ontologies of divine order, mirrored in the created world. Attempts to engage theologically with music’s expressivity have been largely rejected on the grounds of a distrust of sensuality, accusations that they endorse a ‘religion of aestheticism’ and concern that they prioritise human emotion at the expense of the divine. This thesis, however, argues that understanding music as expressive is both essential to a proper appreciation of the art form and of value to the theological task, and aims to defend and substantiate this claim in relation to the music of twentieth-century Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich. Analysing a selection of his works with reference to culture, iconography, interiority and comedy, it seeks both to address the theological criticisms of musical expressivism and to carve out a positive theological engagement with the subject, arguing that the distinctive contribution of Shostakovich’s music to theological endeavour lies in relation to a theology of hope, articulated through the possibilities of the creative act.

  • Przegląd -Cz-4 Net-Indd.Indd
    pejzaże kultury Urszula Chowaniec Feminism Today, or Re-visiting Polish Feminist Literary Scholarship Since 1990s Almost every time the gendered perspective on a particular issue (so often called oblique- ly the woman’s voice) appears in the media, it is immediately confronted by the almost for- mulaic expression “feminism today,” which suggests instantaneously that feminism is, in fact, a matter of the past, and that if one needs to return to this phenomenon, then it requires some explanation. Such interconnections between gender, women and feminism are a con- stant simplifi cation. The article seeks to elaborate this problem of generalization expressed by such formulas as “feminism today.”1 “Feminism today” is a particular notion, which indeed refers to the long political, social, economic and cultural struggles and transformations for equality between the sexes, but also implies the need for its up-dating. Feminism seems to be constantly asked to supply footnotes as to why the contemporary world might still need it, as though equality had been undeniably achieved. This is the common experience of all researchers and activists who deal with the ques- tioning of the traditional order. Even though the order examined by feminism for over 200 years has been changed almost all over the world to various extents, the level of equal- ity achieved is debatable and may still be improved in all countries. Nevertheless, the word feminism has become an uncomfortable word; hence its usage always requires some justi- fi cation. During the past few years in Britain, attempts to re-defi ne feminism may be noted in various media.

  • By Aleksey Konstantinovich Tolstoy Aleksey Tolstoy
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Упырь by Aleksey Konstantinovich Tolstoy Aleksey Tolstoy. Russian poet and playwright (b. 24 August/5 September 1817 in Saint Petersburg; d. 28 September/10 October 1875 at Krasny Rog, in Chernigov province), born Count Aleksey Konstantinovich Tolstoy (Алексей Константинович Толстой). Contents. Biography. Descended from illustrious aristocratic families on both sides, Aleksey was a distant cousin of the novelist Lev Tolstoy. Shortly after his birth, however, his parents separated and he was taken by his mother to Chernigov province in the Ukraine where he grew up under the wing of his uncle, Aleksey Perovsky (1787–1836), who wrote novels and stories under the pseudonym "Anton Pogorelsky". With his mother and uncle Aleksey travelled to Europe in 1827, touring Italy and visiting Goethe in Weimar. Goethe would always remain one of Tolstoy's favourite poets, and in 1867 he made notable translations of Der Gott und die Bajadere and Die Braut von Korinth . In 1834, Aleksey was enrolled at the Moscow Archive of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, where his tasks included the cataloguing of historical documents. Three years later he was posted to the Russian Embassy at the Diet of the German Confederation in Frankfurt am Main. In 1840, he returned to Russia and worked for some years at the Imperial Chancery in Saint Petersburg. During the 1840s Tolstoy wrote several lyric poems, but they were not published until many years later, and he contented himself with reading them to his friends and acquaintances from the world of Saint Petersburg high society. At a masked ball in the winter season of 1850/51 he saw for the first time Sofya Andreyevna Miller (1825–1895), with whom he fell in love, dedicating to her the fine poem Amid the Din of the Ball (Средь шумного бала), which Tchaikovsky would later immortalize in one of his most moving songs (No.
