Problems of Mimetic Characterization in Dostoevsky and Tolstoy
Illusion and Instrument: Problems of Mimetic Characterization in Dostoevsky and Tolstoy By Chloe Susan Liebmann Kitzinger 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 Irina Paperno, Chair Professor Eric Naiman Professor Dorothy J. Hale Spring 2016 Illusion and Instrument: Problems of Mimetic Characterization in Dostoevsky and Tolstoy © 2016 By Chloe Susan Liebmann Kitzinger Abstract Illusion and Instrument: Problems of Mimetic Characterization in Dostoevsky and Tolstoy by Chloe Susan Liebmann Kitzinger Doctor of Philosophy in Slavic Languages and Literatures University of California, Berkeley Professor Irina Paperno, Chair This dissertation focuses new critical attention on a problem central to the history and theory of the novel, but so far remarkably underexplored: the mimetic illusion that realist characters exist independently from the author’s control, and even from the constraints of form itself. How is this illusion of “life” produced? What conditions maintain it, and at what points does it start to falter? My study investigates the character-systems of three Russian realist novels with widely differing narrative structures — Tolstoy’s War and Peace (1865–1869), and Dostoevsky’s The Adolescent (1875) and The Brothers Karamazov (1879–1880) — that offer rich ground for exploring the sources and limits of mimetic illusion. I suggest, moreover, that Tolstoy and Dostoevsky themselves were preoccupied with this question. Their novels take shape around ambitious projects of characterization that carry them toward the edges of the realist tradition, where the novel begins to give way to other forms of art and thought. -

Queering Anna Karenina: Reimagining Tolstoy for the Twenty-First Century
CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Cardinal Scholar Queering Anna Karenina: Reimagining Tolstoy for the Twenty-First Century An Honors Thesis (HONR 499) by Leah Heim Thesis Advisor Dr. Andrea Wolfe Ball State University Muncie, Indiana May 2019 Expected Date of Graduation May 2019 Abstract "Happy families are all alike. Each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." These famous opening sentences of Leo Tolstoy's masterpiece novel Anna Karenina serve as an axis around which the rest of the novel's plot, characters, and motifs all revolve. The book delves into themes of adultery, society, art, philosophy, and even agriculture, but all these subordinate conversations circle back to the questions posited by the novel's first lines: what are happy families and unhappy families, and how do these families relate to each other? My thesis, part creative project and part analytical project, seeks to speak back against Tolstoy’s idea of the monolithic happy family by offering a queer, postmodern retelling of Anna Karenina where environmental degradation affects families’ fertility and where Anna and Vronsky are two women who must navigate their way through the complex and often painful societal expectations of rural Indiana. Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to thank Dr. Wolfe for helping me complete this long quest. Dr. Wolfe’s Gender and Literature course provided me with frameworks of feminist literary theory—like ecofeminism and Julia Kristeva’s abjection—that I have continued to use throughout my undergraduate career and that I have used in this very thesis. -
Notes Toward Understanding the Hungarian Roots of Polanyi's
Notes Toward Understanding The Hungarian Roots of Polanyi’s Heuristic Philosophy of Religion Richard Gelwick ABSTRACT Key Words: Michael Polanyi, biography, William T. Scott, Martin X. Moleski, Hungary, Georg Polya, heuristics, Reinhold Niebuhr, Pauline scheme of redemption, history and hope. William T. Scott’s and Martin X. Moleski’s biography, Michael Polanyi, Scientist and Philosopher helps to show how Polanyi throughout his life developed toward his theory of knowledge that is a heuristic philosophy and leads to a heuristic philosophy of religion. In my response to the Scott and Moleski biography of Michael Polanyi, I want to limit my remarks to one theme. In 1977 in The Way of Discovery, An Introduction to the Thought of Michael Polanyi, I held and still do that heuristic philosophy is so far the best way of naming the central thread of Michael Polanyi’s philosophical reform and contribution.1 Further it is still the key to understanding why Michael Polanyi is important for intellectuals and public leaders from statespersons, politicians, scientists, economists, ministers of religions, literary and visual artists, educators, social planners to all citizens who seek to solve the problems for the survival of our global society. As our Polanyi Society journal indicates by its title of Tradition and Discovery, Polanyi saw that a pivotal issue for the survival and growth of humane and civilized life is to accept the human responsibility of exploring the totality of human knowledge by learning from the traditions of the human record and continuing to renew and to build a problem solving society. By problem solving, I mean a society that is free and open to inquiry and to change by following the truth as it becomes known to us through investigation, practice, discussion and argument. -
MEMORY of the WORLD REGISTER Leo Tolstoy's Personal
MEMORY OF THE WORLD REGISTER Leo Tolstoy’s Personal Library and Manuscripts, Photo and Film Collection Russian Federation Ref N° 2010-78 PART A – ESSENTIAL INFORMATION 1 SUMMARY Leo Tolstoy’s personal library, which numbers 22,000 volumes in 40 languages, is one of the largest writer's libraries in the world. The library was founded by three generations of the Volkonskys-Tolstoys families: by Tolstoy’s grandfather Prince Nikolai Volkonsky, by his parents Maria and Nikolai Tolstoy, and of course the greater part of the library was collected by Tolstoy himself. When Tolstoy’s wife, Sophia Tolstaya, arrived at Yasnaya Polyana in 1862, after their marriage, she found only 2 bookcases there. Now, as it was in 1910, there are 25 bookcases and one big coffer. So, most of the books came to the library in the last 50 years of Tolstoy’s life. The oldest book in the library was published in 1613, the latest books – published in 1910, the last year of Tolstoy’s life. There are about 600 books of the XVII-early XIX centuries, most of them belonged to Tolstoy’s father, Count Nikolai Tolstoy. Tolstoy’s library is very rich in subjects. The choice of books Tolstoy was buying was defined by his activities as writer, thinker, and religious prophet. Among the books of Tolstoy’s library there are editions of books and magazines, which were used as sources for War and Peace, Khadzhi-Murat, for the unfinished novels from the epoch of Peter the Great and history of Decembrists, for his books of wisdom Circle of Reading, For Every Day, Path of Life. -

Remarkable Russian Women in Pictures, Prose and Poetry N Marcelline Hutton Many Russian women of the late 19th and early 20th centuries tried to find happy marriages, authentic religious life, liberal education, and ful- filling work as artists, doctors, teachers, and political activists. Some very remarkable ones found these things in varying degrees, while oth- ers sought unsuccessfully but no less desperately to transcend the genera- tions-old restrictions imposed by church, state, village, class, and gender. Like a Slavic “Downton Abbey,” this book tells the stories, not just of their outward lives, but of their hearts and minds, their voices and dreams, their amazing accomplishments against overwhelming odds, and their roles as feminists and avant-gardists in shaping modern Russia and, in- deed, the twentieth century in the West. -

Competing Visions of Love and Brotherhood: Rewriting War and Peace for the Soviet Opera Stage
Cambridge Opera Journal, 26, 3, 215–238 © Cambridge University Press, 2014 doi:10.1017/S095458671400007X Competing Visions of Love and Brotherhood: Rewriting War and Peace for the Soviet Opera Stage ANNA A. BERMAN Abstract: When Sergei Prokofiev chose to adapt War and Peace for the Soviet opera stage in the 1940s, he faced both operatic conventions and Soviet ideological demands that ran counter to the philosophy and structure of Tolstoy’s sprawling masterpiece. Prokofiev’s early decision to split his opera into Peace and War, making the first a romantic love story of individuals and the second a collective story of the people’s love for Mother Russia, marked a major divergence from Tolstoy. This article explores how Prokofiev reworked Tolstoy’s philosophy of love and human connection to make his opera acceptable for the Soviet stage. Moving away from Tolstoy’s family ideal in Peace, with its basis on intimate sibling bonds, Prokofiev shifted the family to War, turning it into a national Russian family of Father Kutuzov, Mother Russia and their children – the Russian people. The opera uses choral glorification of these heroic parents to foster on a national scale the type of intimacy Tolstoy had advocated in the home. Sergei Prokofiev’s War and Peace – conceived just before Hitler’s invasion of Russia and still unpremiered at the composer’s death – isalovestory,orpossiblyeventwolove stories. One traces Andrei Bolkonsky’s and Pierre Bezukhov’s love for Natasha Rostova, the other, the Russian people’s devotion to their homeland. The two are united by parallels and symbolism, but the first remains a story of Eros and individuals in a highly Europeanised world, while the second is a collective tale of national love for Mother Russia.
