Carleton University Fall 2012 Department of English ENGL 4115A
Carleton University Fall 2012 Department of English ENGL 4115A: Culture and the Text I Dueling, Russian Style! Time of Class: Tuesdays, 8:35 a.m.-11:25 a.m. Location: Southam Hall 311 Please confirm location on Carleton Central Instructor: Professor D. Dragunoiu Email: [email protected] Office: 1925 Dunton Tower Phone: 613-520-2600, ext. 1556 Office Hours: Thursdays, 12 pm-12:30 pm and 2:40 pm-3:30 pm, or by appointment “No Russian writer of any repute has failed to describe une rencontre, a hostile meeting,” writes Vladimir Nabokov in his memoir Speak, Memory, adding that “a Russian duel was a much more serious affair than the conventional Parisian variety.” Russia’s cultural history still bears the pain of losing two of its greatest poets, Pushkin and Lermontov, to wounds incurred on dueling grounds. This fourth-year seminar will serve as an introduction to Russian literature, history, and culture through the lens of the duel. We will read some of Russian literature’s defining texts alongside theoretical works on the Russian duel and literary criticism on the texts under examination. Special attention will be paid to the social and political circumstances that give Russian literature its unique flavor, such as Russian protocols of address, social organization, and political structures.
