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.

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.

INTRODUCTION: POETRY OF THE RUSSIAN SILVER AGE Sibelan Forrester and Martha Kelly oetry is only one of the exciting cultural achievements of the Russian Pfin-de-siècle, which has come to be known as the Silver Age. Along with the Ballets russes, the music of Alexander Scriabin or Igor Stravinsky, the avant- garde painting of Kazimir Malevich or Marc Chagall, and the philosophical writings of Lev Shestov or Nikolai Berdyaev, poetry is one of the era’s most precious treasures. The Silver Age witnessed an unprecedented and fruitful interaction between Russian literature and the other arts, sometimes within the same person: several of the major poets were (or could have been) musi- cians and composers; others were painters, important literary critics, religious thinkers, scholars, or philosophers.

Vladimir Mayakovsky Had Been Writing Poetry For
The door between the two rooms had been taken off its hinges to make more space. Mayakovsky stood leaning against the doorframe. He took a small notebook from the inside pocket of his jacket, glanced in it and stuck it back in his pocket again. For a while he said nothing. Then, his eyes sweeping over the room as if it were an enormous auditorium, he read out the prologue, and asked— not in verse, but in prose, in a low, unforgettable voice: You think malaria makes me delirious? It happened. In Odessa, it happened. (trans. george reavey) We raised our heads and did not take our eyes off this miracle until it was all over. Vladimir Mayakovsky had been writing poetry for sev- A MOST JOYOUS DATE A MOST eral years, but this reading of “A Cloud in Trousers” at the apartment of Lili and Osip Brik in July 1915 marked the beginning of a new stage in both his literary and his private life. “The Briks were entranced by his verses and fell in love with them once and for all,” remem- bered Lili’s younger sister, Elsa, who was present at the reading. For Mayakovsky, the encounter with Lili and Osip Brik was a turning point in his life that he was later to describe as “a most joyous date.” By the summer of 1915, the World War had been raging for a year, and it was obvious to most people that it would be followed by sweeping political and social changes. In the aesthetic sphere— in literature, painting, and music—the revolution was already a fact, and Russia was in the vanguard of this process.
