Chekhov: playwright and physician. Protected by copyright. A sketch ofthe briefmedical career ofAnton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860-1904) may be of passing interest. Son ofa Taganrog grocer and grandson of a serf who had to buy his freedom, he was sent to read Medicine in Moscow, qualifying in 1884. Under the nom-de-plume Antosha Chekhonte his literary talent surfaced in cheap and allegedly slightly pornographic and cheap magazines, whilst still a student. He practised Medicine, full-time at first, then moved to Melikhovo, outside Moscow and writing gradually became his prime work. Ivanov, his first play (1887) was a failure; his second, The Seagull (1896), was ridiculed in St Petersburg. Later, the New Moscow Arts Theatre successfully produced The Seagull, Uncle Vanya (1899), Three Sisters (1901) and his genius was finally confirmed with The Cherry Orchard (1903).

Waiting and Russian Utilitarianism in Chekhov's Three Sisters
Waiting and Russian Utilitarianism in Chekhov's Three Sisters Mr.Naser Najafi Shabankare PhD Candidate Department of English Literature Shiraz University Fars province, Iran Dr.Amrollah Abjadian Full Professor of English Literature Department of Foreign Languages and Literature Shiraz University Fars province,Iran Abstract: Waiting is the central theme in Anton Chekhov's Three Sisters. Exploration of the theme of waiting and its attributes with regard to the historical and social discourses at the time of play's writing is the main focus of the present article. The absurd waiting for future and its manifestation in different characters of the play is brought under scrutiny in the first part of the play. Furthermore, in order to delineate an explanation of the purposeless waiting, Foucault's concept of episteme helps to highlight the dominant discourses in the Russian society, including utilitarianism and pessimism which shape such depiction of waiting. The concept of episteme, as defined by Foucault can further elaborate the nature of waiting in Chekhov's Three Sisters and the causes that make such waiting a useless, senseless and devoid act. Key Words: Chekhov, Three Sisters, Waiting, Foucault, Episteme. Introduction Considering the central theme of waiting in Chekhov's Three Sisters, the present article is an attempt to add a new type of analysis of the play with an eye on Foucault's ideas of episteme and social discourse in order to shed more light on the impacts of social factors in the formation of this play. The issue of social discourses helping the formation of this type of waiting cannot be ignored.

The Samovar and Russian National Identity, 1832-1901
ABSTRACT MAKING TEA RUSSIAN: THE SAMOVAR AND RUSSIAN NATIONAL IDENTITY, 1832-1901 by Audra Jo Yoder Over the course of the nineteenth century, tea was transformed from an aristocratic luxury to an everyday household commodity in Russia. Concurrently, the samovar (a metallic vessel of obscure origin, used to heat water for tea) rose to prominence as an everyday household item and a potent symbol of Russian identity. Since neither tea nor the samovar are Russian in origin, the “Russianness” of tea drinking can be analyzed as an “invented tradition” linked to Russia’s developing national identity. This thesis argues that the great writers and artists of the nineteenth century were largely responsible for establishing tea and the samovar as Russian before either were affordable for the majority of Russia’s population. By the advent of the twentieth century, the samovar had become so deeply ensconced in Russian myth and memory that Soviet and post- Soviet Russians believe it to be an obligatory fixture of “old” Russian culture.

Ivanov, the Seagull, Uncle Vanya, Three Sisters, the Cherry Orchard Pdf, Epub, Ebook
PLAYS: IVANOV, THE SEAGULL, UNCLE VANYA, THREE SISTERS, THE CHERRY ORCHARD PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Anton Pavlovich Chekhov,Peter Carson,Richard Gilman | 416 pages | 03 Sep 2002 | Penguin Books Ltd | 9780140447330 | English | London, United Kingdom Plays: Ivanov, The Seagull, Uncle Vanya, Three Sisters, The Cherry Orchard PDF Book The author's refusal to join the ranks of social critics arose the wrath of liberal and radical intellitentsia and he was criticized for dealing with serious social and moral questions, but avoiding giving answers. But not flashy, philosophical ennui. Open Preview See a Problem? His works have a certain freshness that transcends the period. That said I find the theme of provincial Russian boredom and backwardness a bit tedious especially in a big chunk. But it's fun to see what the translator has attempted. This volume simply enlarges that desire. This pretty much completes my inquiry into Chekhov; I will, of course, go back to reread his plays and stories and give The Three Sisters a second chance. But from there it goes in all kinds of unusual directions. His plays are so delicate, that you just know you're losing something due to the translations. And that, in my opinion, is the problem with Senelick. Chekhov wasn't a solidly middle-class Edwardian Englishman reflecting on a world I don't think that this translation is the one that I was familiar with and can't recommend any one translation in particular. With a heavy head and a sluggish mind, weary, used up, discouraged, without faith or love or an object in life, I wander like a shadow among other men, not knowing why I am alive or what it is that I want.

The Poetic Imagination of Vyacheslav Ivanov: a Russian Symbolist's Perception of Dante / Pamela Davidson
CAMBRIDGE STUDIES IN RUSSIAN LITERATURE The poetic imagination of Vyacheslav Ivanov Vyacheslav Ivanov, poet, philosopher and critic, played a key role in the formation of early twentieth-century Russian literature as leader of the religious branch of the Symbolist movement, and his influence spread to Europe after his emigration to Italy in 1924. Pamela Davidson explores Ivanov's poetic method, relating his art to his central beliefs (in particular his interpretation of the ancient Greek religion of Dionysus and of the teachings of Vladimir Solovyov), and considering the ways in which he attempted to embody these ideas in his own life. She focuses on Ivanov's interpretation of Dante, and in so doing opens up new perspectives on the wider question of Russia's relation to the Western cultural tradition and Catholi- cism. Detailed analyses of Ivanov's pre-revolutionary poetry and of his translations from Dante form the basis of the second part of the study, and extensive use is made of unpublished archival materials from the Soviet Union and Italy.

Dmitri Segal: Aspects of Structuralism in Soviet
PAPERS ON POETICS AND SEMIOTICS 2 DMITRI SEGAL ASPECTS OF STRUCTURALISM IN SOVIET PHILOLOGY (Pre-publication Paper, to be published in: Thomas A. Sebeok, ed., Structuralism Around the World, Mouton 1975)* Department of Poetics and Comparative Literature Tel-Aviv University 1974 © All Rights Reserved by Dmitri Segal and Porter Institute for Poetics and Semiotics Tel Aviv University * This volume has never been published. This is the only version available. Introduction Some five years ago writing a survey of structuralism in the Soviet Union was a much simpler task than today: the number of works written in what may be described as a structural approach was smaller, their interrelation- ship provided a more uniform and atomized picture, and the point of view of an inside observer would probably not have collided with those of other members of the school. However, the structural scene in the USSR as viewed today may be studied in more general and complex terms. One begins to discern conscious attempts at presenting the ideas of semiotics and struc- turalism in extra-linguistic domains within a coherent system [58]. The efforts of various scholars seem to point in one direction. This enables a reviewer to look for certain basic underlying ideas and patterns of ideas even in those works which were written at the very dawn of semiotics in the USSR. Several years have passed since the writing of the Meletinskij-Segal review of Soviet Structuralism and semiotics [37]. That review was intended mainly as a source of bibliographical information for readers who could not follow the original publications.
