    James Rowson Phd Thesis Politics and Putinism a Critical Examination

    Politics and Putinism: A Critical Examination of New Russian Drama James Rowson A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Royal Holloway, University of London Department of Drama, Theatre & Dance September 2017 1 Declaration of Authorship I James Rowson hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: ______________________ Date: ________________________ 2 Abstract This thesis will contextualise and critically explore how New Drama (Novaya Drama) has been shaped by and adapted to the political, social, and cultural landscape under Putinism (from 2000). It draws on close analysis of a variety of plays written by a burgeoning collection of playwrights from across Russia, examining how this provocative and political artistic movement has emerged as one of the most vehement critics of the Putin regime. This study argues that the manifold New Drama repertoire addresses key facets of Putinism by performing suppressed and marginalised voices in public arenas. It contends that New Drama has challenged the established, normative discourses of Putinism presented in the Russian media and by Putin himself, and demonstrates how these productions have situated themselves in the context of the nascent opposition movement in Russia. By doing so, this thesis will offer a fresh perspective on how New Drama’s precarious engagement with Putinism provokes political debate in contemporary Russia, and challenges audience members to consider their own role in Putin’s autocracy. The first chapter surveys the theatrical and political landscape in Russia at the turn of the millennium, focusing on the political and historical contexts of New Drama in Russian theatre and culture.

Rhodes Board of advisors: Lizelle Bisschoff (University of Glasgow) Stephanie Hemelryck Donald (University of Lincoln) Anna Misiak (Falmouth University) Des O’Rawe (Queen’s University Belfast) ReFocus is a series of contemporary methodological and theoretical approaches to the interdisciplinary analyses and interpretations of international film directors, from the celebrated to the ignored, in direct relationship to their respective culture—its myths, values, and historical precepts—and the broader parameters of international film history and theory. The series provides a forum for introducing a broad spectrum of directors, working in and establishing movements, trends, cycles, and genres including those historical, currently popular, or emergent, and in need of critical assessment or reassessment. It ignores no director who created a historical space—either in or outside of the studio system—beginning with the origins of cinema and up to the present. ReFocus brings these film directors to a new audience of scholars and general readers of Film Studies.

    STUDIES IN RUSSIAN AND SOVIET CINEMA https://doi.org/10.1080/17503132.2018.1511260 ARTICLE Revisiting skaz in Ivan Vyrypaev’s cinema and theatre: rhythms and sounds of postdramatic rap Susanna Weygandt Department of Languages, Literatures and Cultures, Saint Louis University, Saint Louis, MO, USA ABSTRACT KEYWORDS Over the last two decades, the stage director and filmmaker Ivan Russian cinema; New Drama; Vyrypaev has developed his own aesthetic practice, which tests the Ivan Vyrypaev; sound theory; energy, reception, and affective appeal of the stage performance to skaz forge a new artistic method that is meaningful to a modern audience. Like the notable avant-garde directors before him, he rejects the tradition of mimetic representation and physical verisimilitude, and has initiated a shift to the field of verbal signification – most notably in his rediscovery of skaz – and to the cognition of aural phenomena, thus situating his work within recent academic discourse on sound. His plays and films distinguish themselves from most visual media by their long, descriptive monologues and by the use of music. Verbal and sonic elements, not physical actions or stage directions, vividly describe changes, mutations, disease, transfer states, and traumas of the characters. This article argues that Vyrypaev’s theatre and cinema engages with a 21st-century audience through its resonance with its affective and emotional registers. Ivan Vyrypaev is one of the leading playwrights of Russian New Drama (Novaia drama), a vibrant movement that has gained visibility through numerous artists’ and writers’ festivals since the late 1990s, including Liubimovka, New Drama and Golden Mask festivals, but also through theatres across Russia, Europe and the U.S.
