  • Rayonists and Futurists: a Manifesto, 1913
    MIKHAIL LARIONOV AND NATALYA GONCHAROVA Rayonists and Futurists: A Manifesto, 1913 For biographies see pp. 79 and 54. The text of this piece, "Luchisty i budushchniki. Manifest," appeared in the miscel- lany Oslinyi kkvost i mishen [Donkey's Tail and Target] (Moscow, July iQn), pp. 9-48 [bibl. R319; it is reprinted in bibl. R14, pp. 175-78. It has been translated into French in bibl. 132, pp. 29-32, and in part, into English in bibl. 45, pp. 124-26]. The declarations are similar to those advanced in the catalogue of the '^Target'.' exhibition held in Moscow in March IQIT fbibl. R315], and the concluding para- graphs are virtually the same as those of Larionov's "Rayonist Painting.'1 Although the theory of rayonist painting was known already, the "Target" acted as tReTormaL demonstration of its practical "acKieveffllBnty' Becau'S^r^ffie^anous allusions to the Knave of Diamonds. "A Slap in the Face of Public Taste," and David Burliuk, this manifesto acts as a polemical гейроп^ ^Х^ШШУ's rivals^ The use of the Russian neologism ШШ^сТиШ?, and not the European borrowing futuristy, betrays Larionov's current rejection of the West and his orientation toward Russian and East- ern cultural traditions. In addition to Larionov and Goncharova, the signers of the manifesto were Timofei Bogomazov (a sergeant-major and amateur painter whom Larionov had befriended during his military service—no relative of the artist Alek- sandr Bogomazov) and the artists Morits Fabri, Ivan Larionov (brother of Mikhail), Mikhail Le-Dantiyu, Vyacheslav Levkievsky, Vladimir Obolensky, Sergei Romano- vich, Aleksandr Shevchenko, and Kirill Zdanevich (brother of Ilya).

  • Cubo-Futurism
    Notes Cubo-Futurism Slap in theFace of Public Taste 1 . These two paragraphs are a caustic attack on the Symbolist movement in general, a frequent target of the Futurists, and on two of its representatives in particular: Konstantin Bal'mont (1867-1943), a poetwho enjoyed enormouspopu­ larityin Russia during thefirst decade of this century, was subsequentlyforgo tten, and died as an emigrein Paris;Valerii Briusov(18 73-1924), poetand scholar,leader of the Symbolist movement, editor of the Salles and literary editor of Russum Thought, who after the Revolution joined the Communist party and worked at Narkompros. 2. Leonid Andreev (1871-1919), a writer of short stories and a playwright, started in a realistic vein following Chekhov and Gorkii; later he displayed an interest in metaphysicsand a leaning toward Symbolism. He is at his bestin a few stories written in a realistic manner; his Symbolist works are pretentious and unconvincing. The use of the plural here implies that, in the Futurists' eyes, Andreev is just one of the numerousepigones. 3. Several disparate poets and prose writers are randomly assembled here, which stresses the radical positionof the signatories ofthis manifesto, who reject indiscriminately aU the literaturewritt en before them. The useof the plural, as in the previous paragraphs, is demeaning. Maksim Gorkii (pseud. of Aleksei Pesh­ kov, 1�1936), Aleksandr Kuprin (1870-1938), and Ivan Bunin (1870-1953) are writers of realist orientation, although there are substantial differences in their philosophical outlook, realistic style, and literary value. Bunin was the first Rus­ sianwriter to wina NobelPrize, in 1933.AJeksandr Biok (1880-1921)is possiblythe best, and certainlythe most popular, Symbolist poet.

All rights reserved. Dissertation Advisor: Professor Stephanie Sandler Ainsley Elizabeth Morse Detki v kletke: The Childlike Aesthetic in Soviet Children’s Literature and Unofficial Poetry Abstract Since its inception in 1918, Soviet children’s literature was acclaimed as innovative and exciting, often in contrast to other official Soviet literary production. Indeed, avant-garde artists worked in this genre for the entire Soviet period, although they had fallen out of official favor by the 1930s. This dissertation explores the relationship between the childlike aesthetic as expressed in Soviet children’s literature, the early Russian avant-garde and later post-war unofficial poetry.

  • 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.

  • Ukrainian Futurism: Re-Appropriating the Imperial Legacy
    Ukrainian Futurism: Re-Appropriating the Imperial Legacy Oleh S. Ilnytzkyj Abstract: This article surveys the research on Ukrainian Futurism that appeared just before and after Ukrainian independence (1991), and offers critical annotations of these publications. It deals with the literary as well as the visual arts, with works that appeared in Ukraine and in the West. The literature review is preceded by a short outline of Ukrainian Futurism and its fate in scholarship from the 1930s. Much of what has been written on Ukrainian Futurism has appeared in the context of more general ‘avant-garde’ and even ‘modernist’ debates. This paper respects these perspec- tives but foregrounds Futurism. The author shows that one of the central issues of the new research has been the delineation of a ‘Ukrainian’ movement on the basis of cultural capital that is generally still called ‘Russian’. The research discussed here highlights the multi-national character of avant-garde practices in the Russian and Soviet Empires, offers a suggestion on how imperial cultural processes should be conceptualized and questions the appropriateness of current ‘Russian’ terminology. Keywords: Ukrainian Futurism, Cubo-Futurism, Russian Futurism, Avant-garde, Mykhail’ Semenko, David Burliuk, Nova generatsiia, imperial culture, culture and empire, Ukraine, Russia. Don’t mistake them for Russians: Kazimir Malevich, El Lissitsky, Alexander Rodchenko, Alexander Ar- chipenko and Alexandra Exter were actually born, or identifi ed themselves as, Ukrainian.1 Ukrainian Futurism was the last literary avant-garde movement in the Soviet Union to succumb to pressures of the Communist Party, that is, to disband under duress as an organized and distinct group.
