Between Moscow and Baku: National Literatures at the 1934 Congress of Soviet Writers
Between Moscow and Baku: National Literatures at the 1934 Congress of Soviet Writers by Kathryn Douglas Schild A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Slavic Languages and Literatures in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Harsha Ram, Chair Professor Irina Paperno Professor Yuri Slezkine Fall 2010 ABSTRACT Between Moscow and Baku: National Literatures at the 1934 Congress of Soviet Writers by Kathryn Douglas Schild Doctor of Philosophy in Slavic Languages and Literatures University of California, Berkeley Professor Harsha Ram, Chair The breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991 reminded many that “Soviet” and “Russian” were not synonymous, but this distinction continues to be overlooked when discussing Soviet literature. Like the Soviet Union, Soviet literature was a consciously multinational, multiethnic project. This dissertation approaches Soviet literature in its broadest sense – as a cultural field incorporating texts, institutions, theories, and practices such as writing, editing, reading, canonization, education, performance, and translation. It uses archival materials to analyze how Soviet literary institutions combined Russia’s literary heritage, the doctrine of socialist realism, and nationalities policy to conceptualize the national literatures, a term used to define the literatures of the non-Russian peripheries. It then explores how such conceptions functioned in practice in the early 1930s, in both Moscow and Baku, the capital of Soviet Azerbaijan. Although the debates over national literatures started well before the Revolution, this study focuses on 1932-34 as the period when they crystallized under the leadership of the Union of Soviet Writers. -

There were many factors that led up to the start of World War I in Europe: a lot of these factors were rooted in the deep history of the old powers of Europe (including Russia, Germany, France, Italy, Austria, Hungary, and Britain) but the real causes of World War I included politics, secret alliances, imperialism, and nationalistic pride. However, there was one single event, the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand of Austria, which started a chain of events leading to war. -

Dartmouth Model United Nations 2021 Fifteenth Annual Conference ∙ April 9 - 11, 2021 Dartmouth College · Rockefeller Center · Hanover, NH 03755 E-mail: [email protected] Website: https://sites.dartmouth.edu/modelun/ April 9, 2021 Dear Delegates: On behalf of the entire Dartmouth Model United Nations staff, we would like to welcome and thank you for registering for the fifteenth annual Dartmouth Model United Nations conference this April 2021. Even in these unprecedented times, we have been working relentlessly since last April to provide a worthwhile virtual Model UN experience for this spring’s delegates. DartMUN is a unique conference. We pair world-class delegations and dais staff members in smaller, more-interactive environments to facilitate an enriching experience for delegates of all skill levels. We believe DartMUN’s active, small committees ensure delegates feel comfortable immersing themselves in a competitive but supportive environment that encourages trial by error and participation. Furthermore, DartMUN’s well-trained staff is excited to work with your delegates this winter in committee to equip the next generation of college students with the skills to tackle complex global problems. This year’s slate of committees includes a wide variety of interests, from the United Nations Environmental Programme to the Afghan Peace Deals crisis committee. Our goal this year is to create an educational and exciting environment for all delegates regardless of whether it is your first or final conference. If this is your first conference, we encourage you to be brave, voice your thoughts through speeches, and forge alliances with your fellow delegates. If you are an experienced Model UN participant, we encourage you to support your fellow delegates and challenge yourself outside of your comfort zone. -
