Vroon, Chair What is the role of sociocultural history in the evolution of national identity? How is the worldview of Russian citizens reflected in contemporary art and popular culture? My dissertation, which examines narratives of national identity in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, approaches these questions and others through an historical analysis of Russian fantastika film adaptations and the literary works upon which they are based. Illustrating transitions in perceptions of Russian identity as they are reflected in over thirty examples of Soviet and post-Soviet fantastika, this project provides a critical reconsideration of historical theories on the “Russian idea” and offers new perspectives on what it means to be Russian in the twenty-first century. My study employs a synthesis of approaches from the fields of cultural history, literature, film, and gender studies. The primary hypothesis is that it is possible, through an historical ii analysis of fantastika film adaptations (and their corresponding literary sources), to obtain a fundamental understanding of post-Soviet culture by examining crucial transformations in the Russian worldview over the course of a century; namely, from 1917 to 2017. These transformations, viewed through the lens of sociocultural history, provide insight into the essential features of national identity in contemporary Russia. Fantastika, a genre which includes science fiction, fantasy, gothic horror, and other works involving fantastical elements, is a highly influential force in the Russian literary and cinematic traditions. Particularly during periods of severe censorship, fantastika played an integral role in the dissemination of novel (or “unofficial”) worldviews. Employing alien planets, outer space, and other fantastical settings, Soviet authors and directors developed fictional macrocosms with which to juxtapose contemporary reality and provide commentary on issues relevant to modern society. In the post-Soviet period, techniques borrowed from their predecessors have enabled artists to continue in this tradition, allowing them to offer fresh perspectives on Russia and its place in global society. Russian national identity has been a subject of international debate for at least three centuries. This dissertation reconsiders models promoted by Russian intellectuals in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries (including Petr Chaadaev, Sergei Uvarov, Nikolai Berdiaev, and Vladimir Bibler) and employs techniques developed by contemporary Western observers (including Birgit Beumers, Eliot Borenstein, and Stephen Norris) to offer a revised assessment of Russian national identity in the twenty-first century. It advances, reframes, and challenges some of the conclusions drawn by these figures by analyzing fantastika film adaptations in the context of their (for the most part persuasive) theories. My hope is that this project will be considered a meaningful contribution to the study of Russian culture in the modern age. iii The dissertation of Jesse Brown O’Dell is approved. Gail D.

  • The Image of “Sinister Feminists” in Modern Russian Public Discourse: Discussing the Later Dystopias of V. Pelevin
    The Image of “Sinister Feminists” in Modern Russian Public Discourse: Discussing The Later Dystopias of V. Pelevin ILINA Olga Introduction In Russian science fiction, the ratio of male and female authors is such that the priority has always belonged to men. According to researchers1 , this phenomenon is explained by the fact that the so-called “hard science fiction”, which told readers about the achievements and prospects of real science, was a priority in the Soviet Union. Authors described technical details and the operation of various mechanisms, and the exploration of new territories. All these topics, as was traditionally believed, may be of interest primarily to men. The main characters of such works, written by male authors, were men more often than women. Female characters were on the sidelines: they could be the helpers of male characters; they could play the role of a “damsel in distress” who the hero needed to save; they could act as a hero’s love, often a fatal woman. However very rarely did they play an independent role in the plot. There were exceptions, of course, and very bright ones: several movies based on teenage books by Kir Bulychev (also a male author) about a girl from the future Alisa Selezneva – one the movies can be described as a dystopia. However, the general trend was such that there were much more male authors in the literature than female authors. ― 45 ― 文 化 交 流 研 究 Little changed in the twenty first century. The feminist movement in society and in literature came to Russia in the 90s together with democratic Western values, but it never became popular.

  • Arkady Gaidar's Timur and His Squad As an Example O
    Soviet Literature in Primary Schools in the People’s Republic of Poland: Arkady Gaidar’s Timur and His Squad as an Example of Political School Readings Anna Bednarczyk University of Łódź, Poland The ideological policy of a state may influence not only the choice of texts to be translated but also the ways they are translated in order to load them with propagandist meanings. In such a context the translator’s voice may be manipulated to carry the messages an authority (e.g. a totalitarian state) requires that the translator convey. An analysis of the Polish translations of Arkady Gaidar’s Timur and His Squad suggests, however, that political manipulation may occur less through translation strategies than through editorial choices about the material presentation of the works being studied. Key words: Gaidar, Timur, Russian literature, Polish translations, ideology Les politiques idéologiques d’un état peuvent influencer non seulement le choix des textes traduits, mais aussi la façon dont ils sont traduits dans le but de consolider leur portée idéologique. Dans ce type de contexte, la voix du traducteur peut être manipulée afin qu’elle exprime des messages qui sont conformes aux exigences des autorités (d’un état totalitaire). Une analyse des traductions polonaises de Timur et son équipe d’Arkady Gaidar’s suggère, toutefois, que la manipulation peut se faire moins au niveau des stratégies de traduction qu’à celui de la présentation matérielle des textes étudiés. Mots clés : Gaidar, Timur, littérature russe, traductions polonaises, idéologie Russian Works in Polish Schools After the Second World War, when the newly formed People’s Republic of Poland became one of the satellites of the Soviet Union, Russian was introduced into Polish schools as an obligatory foreign language.

  • Roadside Picnic
    ROADSIDE PICNIC Arkady and Boris Strugatsky Translated from the Russian by Antonina W. Bouis Cryptomaoist Editions FROM AN INTERVIEW BY A SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT FROM HARMONT RADIO WITH DOCTOR VALENTINE PILMAN, RECIPIENT OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN PHYSICS FOR 19.. "I suppose that your first serious discovery, Dr. Pilman, should be considered what is now called the Pilman Radiant?" "I don't think so. The Pilman Radiant wasn't the first, nor was it serious, nor was it really a discovery. And it wasn't completely mine, either." "Surely you're joking, doctor. The Pilman Radiant is a concept known to every schoolchild." "That doesn't surprise me. According to some sources, the Pilman Radiant was discovered by a schoolboy. Unfortunately, I don't remember his name. Look it up in Stetson's History of the Visitation -- it's described in full detail there. His version is that the radiant was discovered by a schoolboy, that a college student published the coordinates, but that for some unknown reason it was named after me." "Yes, many amazing things can happen with a discovery. Would you mind explaining it to our listeners, Dr. Pilman?" "The Pilman Radiant is simplicity itself. Imagine that you spin a huge globe and you start firing bullets into it. The bullet holes would lie on the surface in a smooth curve. The whole point of what you call my first serious discovery lies in the simple fact that all six Visitation Zones are situated on the surface of our planet as though someone had taken six shots at Earth from a pistol located some- where along the Earth-Deneb line.

  • Chernobyl and Stalker: 'Splinters of the Soviet Empire'
    Chernobyl and Stalker: ‘Splinters of the Soviet Empire’ Dr Nick Rush-Cooper, Teaching Fellow in the Department of Geography, University of Durham, UK. We are in pitch darkness. Maxim, the lead tour guide, leads the group of visitors from the front and takes us down a short corridor within the ruins of ‘Energetik’; the cultural centre of Pripyat, the town built to house the workers of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. I’m taking up the rear and a visitor turns to ask me where this leads. “To the back of the centre where we exit to reach where the Ferris wheel is” I tell them, though, in all honestly, that’s partly a guess and I’m not really sure. I may have visited the Zone almost a dozen times for the purposes of my PhD, and will visit over a dozen more, but this is only the second day I’m working as a tour guide[1] and I think that Maxim’s having some fun with me by taking the group through paths I’ve not used before. But it’s a short corridor and, soon enough, we emerge into the sunlight streaming into the small swimming pool at the back of the centre. We pause as visitors begin to take photographs, and I continue a conversation from earlier with a visitor; she explains to me that despite the bright sunlight and the sheer amount of greenery, she finds the place unsettling; “like a horror movie.” Another visitor chimes in; “or something like I Am Legend.” The first exclaims; “I’m amazed at how green it is; I’ve been playing a lot of Fallout 3, so I was expecting more of a wasteland.” As we speak a member of the group has jumped into the swimming pool to have a closer look at the old film reels that have been dumped there.

  • Things in Roadside Picnic by Christopher Pearson Stefan Kiesbye Dr. Brantley B
    i Nuts and Bolts, Golden Orbs, and Concrete Walls: Things in Roadside Picnic by Christopher Pearson A thesis submitted to Sonoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in English Stefan Kiesbye Dr. Brantley Bryant 5/15/2018 ii Copyright 2018 By Christopher Pearson iii Authorization for Reproduction of Master’s Thesis I grant permission for the print or digital reproduction of this project in its entirety, without further authorization from me, on the condition that the person or agency requesting reproduction absorb the cost and provide proper acknowledgment of authorship. May 15, 2018 Christopher Pearson iv Nuts and Bolts, Golden Orbs, and Concrete Walls: Things in Roadside Picnic May 15, 2018 Christopher Pearson, MA English, Sonoma State University Abstract This paper seeks to discuss the representational objects of Boris and Arkady Strugatsky’s Roadside Picnic through Bill Brown’s idea of thing theory, which creates a distinction between an object and a thing based on the functionalities and relationships between individuals and their possessions, both through their semiotic nature and the ritualistic practices which encompass the creation and possession of a ‘thing’. Doing so allows Roadside Picnic’s first contact narrative to be read through an understanding of the reflective and introspective qualities of things, and the ways in which things reflect cultural values and realities of twentieth century life in the Soviet Union. Within the discussion of the objects of the text, the landscapes which define the text will be observed as equally important representations of humanity’s struggle with knowledge and control.

  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} the Time Wanderers by Arkady Strugatsky Prominent Russians: Arkady and Boris Strugatsky
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Time Wanderers by Arkady Strugatsky Prominent Russians: Arkady and Boris Strugatsky. Arkady and Boris Strugatsky are well-known Soviet-Russian science fiction writers with a highly developed fan base. They became the spiritual leaders of Russian sci-fi literature in the 1960s, and to this day, their influence remains immense - entire generations were brought up on their books and loved them for their unique style. Though the early works of the Strugatsky bothers lacked individuality – at the beginning of their writing career their novels and short stories resembled those of Ivan Yefremov, a Soviet paleontologist and science fiction author who was the brothers’ lifetime icon and role model. Strugatsky novels were very different from ordinary sci-fi novels: strictly speaking they didn’t write showpiece science fiction. The brothers have always tried to write not just about spaceships, technology or other fantastic stuff, but also about people and their problems. At the beginning of the 1990s the brothers became the best-known and loved Soviet science-fiction writers abroad – their works were translated into multiple languages and published in 27 countries; a success Russian writers rarely experienced in the West. Arkady Strugatsky. Childhood. Arkady Strugatsky was born on 28 August 1925 in Batumi, Georgia; his mother was a teacher and his father – a fine arts expert, who at the same time earned a bit on the side as a newspaper editor. Two months after the elder son was born, in autumn 1925, the family moved to Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg). When WWII broke out, Arkady first helped constructing defenses and then assisted at the grenade manufactory.
