[8] The Applicant: [9] Applicant joined the Radical Honesty culture in 1999, after reading Dr. Blanton‟s book Radical Honesty: How To Transform Your Life By Telling the Truth. The Radical Honesty culture is founded on 100% transparency and opposes all secrecy, including Anthropocentric Bernaysian Bullshit-the-Public Relations Pretend Transparency Image Management. Radical Honesty believes that a significant psychosocial factor contributing to Patriarchal Anthropocentric cultures reliance on war as a general social psychosocial release function, “for the release and redistribution of undifferentiated tensions”6 and the “dissipation of general boredom”, is a result of its preference for PR image management, 6 “War as a general social release. This is a psychosocial function, serving the same purpose for a society as do the holiday, the celebration, and the orgy for the individual---the release and redistribution of undifferentiated tensions. War provides for the periodic necessary readjustment of standards of social behaviour (the "moral climate") and for the dissipation of general boredom, one of the most consistently undervalued and unrecognized of social phenomena. War fills certain functions essential to the stability of our society; until other ways of filling them are developed, the war system must be maintained -- and improved in effectiveness.” - Report from Iron Mountain: On the Possibility and Desirability for Peace

  • Umestitev Performansa V Prostor in Primer Pussy Riot V Rusiji Magistrsko Delo
    UNIVERZA V LJUBLJANI FAKULTETA ZA DRUŽBENE VEDE Andreja Pahor Umestitev performansa v prostor in primer Pussy Riot v Rusiji Magistrsko delo Ljubljana, 2014 UNIVERZA V LJUBLJANI FAKULTETA ZA DRUŽBENE VEDE Andreja Pahor Mentor: red. prof. dr. Mitja Velikonja Umestitev performansa v prostor in primer Pussy Riot v Rusiji Magistrsko delo Ljubljana, 2014 V prvi vrsti se zahvaljujem red. prof. dr. Mitji Velikonja za strokovne nasvete pri izdelavli magistrskega dela in Jaši Jenull za sodelovanje v intervjuju. Zahvaljujem se še Špeli Pahor za pomoč pri literaturi, Snejani Lachi za pomoč pri prevajanju iz ruščine, Mariani Rodela za pomoč pri prevajanju v angleščino in Vesni Nagoda za lektoriranje magistskega dela. Posebna zahvala gre Danieli Zupan, brez katere moje delo ne bi obstajalo v tiskani obliki. Umestitev performansa v prostor in primer Pussy Riot v Rusiji Performans je subverzivna umetnost, ki odprto kritizira družbeno-politična dogajanja in postavlja pod vprašaj dominantne diskurze – od prevladujočih vrednot in norm do splošno sprejetih definicij, dognanj in praks. V magistrskem delu me je zanimalo, ali je izbira prostora za izvedbo performansa ključna za to, kako bo družbeno kritično sporočilo aktivista razumljeno v širši javnosti ali ne. Da bi odgovorila na raziskovalno vprašanje, sem najprej naredila tekstualno analizo sekundarnih virov, s katero sem dobila splošen okvir za nadaljnje razmišljanje, nato pa sem izvedla študijo primera. Analizirala sem performans skupine Pussy Riot, do katerega je prišlo v moskovski katedrali Kristusa Odrešenika. Z analizo sem želela izvedeti, kako je na umestitev Punk molitve v prostor gledala ruska javnost in kako so nanjo reagirali ljudje po svetu. Ugotovila sem, da sta bili ruska in svetovna javnost enotnega mnenja o neprimernosti sakralnega prostora za izvedbo umetniške akcije, vendar je bilo v Rusiji zaznati večje nerazumevanje motivov, ki so vodili skupino.

  • From Celebrated Novel to Media Outrage: the Public Debate Surrounding the Miniseries Zuleikha Opens Her Eyes
    From Celebrated Novel to Media Outrage: The Public Debate Surrounding the Miniseries Zuleikha Opens Her Eyes Irina Anisimova This chapter discusses Egor Anashkin’s miniseries Zuleikha Opens Her Eyes (Zuleikha otkryvaet glaza), which premiered on one of Russia’s state- run federal tv channels, Russia-1 (Rossia-1), in April 2020. The series is an adaptation of Guzel’ Iakhina’s critically acclaimed novel of the same name published in 2015. In addition to the prime-time tv broad- cast, the series appeared simultaneously on the Russia-1 YouTube chan- nel. The series garnered record-high ratings among Russian tv viewers (Revizor 2020), and it also received high viewing numbers and praise on the Russia-1 YouTube channel. At the same time, the tv drama cre- ated public outrage and controversy in the traditional and new media. Throughout April, Russian newspapers published hundreds of articles, including interviews with the series’ producers, director, leading actress, and the novel’s author. Other articles discussed the film’s reception and reactions of different social groups; similar discussions took place on tv and radio stations. The miniseries became a media event across the ideo- logical spectrum in both pro-government and opposition media organi- zations. At the same time, the series elicited polarized responses among Twitter and Facebook users. The online debates were then summarized and reprinted in the traditional media. Going back to these debates and analyzing the hype surrounding the series, this chapter attempts to an- swer the following questions: Why did an unremarkable tv drama pro- duce such an intense reaction among the Russian audience? Why did the series’ reception differ from the much more favorable reception of the novel? What current social trends do these debates reveal? © irina anisimova · 2020 This is an open access chapter distributed under the terms of the prevailingcc-by licence.

  • Pussy Riot Solidarity Activism and the Danger of Perpetuating North/Western1 Hegemonies
    Vol. 4, no. 2 (2014), 145-165 | URN:NBN:NL:UI:10-1-114515 Lost in Translation? Pussy Riot Solidarity Activism and the Danger of Perpetuating North/Western1 Hegemonies KATHARINA WIEDLACK* AND MASHA NEUFELD Abstract This article critically discusses solidarity actions in support of Pussy Riot within the global North/West, arguing that most solidarity projects within popular culture as well as within the queer-feminist counterculture are based on a lopsided interpretation of Pussy Riot as Russian version of Riot Grrrl feminists. This one- dimensional interpretation of the performance art group as Riot Grrrl-identities further leads to labelling their performance at the Christ the Saviour Cathedral as anti-religious. Within this framework the group’s negotiation of Orthodox religion within their song lyrics, performances as well as statements is ignored, supporting the binary construction of The North/West as progressive – tolerant and secular – and Russia as backward – dogmatic and fundamentalist religious. We attempt to complicate the view on Pussy Riot’s performances and reread them within the Russian context, highlighting several political statements that got lost in North/Western translations. The focus of the analysis concentrates on the ‘Punk Prayerr’, its mimicry of religious language and references to the leadership of the Russian Orthodox Church as well as the local public critical discourses. Keywords Pussy Riot; solidarity; feminist theory; queer theory. 1 The terms/concepts ‘North/West’ and the ‘East’ are problematic, relational and perpetuate unequal power relations. Their usage is however inevitable because ‘they persist in their abundance of historical, cultural, political, geographical, ideological, and other meanings’ (Kulpa, Mizielińska, Stasinska 2012: 137).

    Zhurnal ministerstva narodnogo prosveshcheniya, 2018, 5(2) Copyright © 2018 by Academic Publishing House Researcher s.r.o. Published in the Slovak Republic Zhurnal ministerstva narodnogo prosveshcheniya Has been issued since 2014. E-ISSN: 2413-7294 2018, 5(2): 82-97 DOI: 10.13187/zhmnp.2018.2.82 www.ejournal18.com Russian Cinema: A Very Short Story Alexander Fedorov a , a Rostov State University of Economics, Russian Federation Abstract The article about main lines of russian feature film history: from 1898 to modern times. The history of Russian cinema goes back more than a century, it knew the stages of rise and fall, ideological repression and complete creative freedom. This controversial history was studied by both Russian and foreign scientists. Of course, Soviet and Western scientists studied Soviet cinema from different ideological positions. Soviet filmmakers were generally active in supporting socialist realism in cinema, while Western scholars, on the contrary, rejected this method and paid great attention to the Soviet film avant-garde of the 1920s. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the situation changed: russian and foreign film historians began to study cinema in a similar methodological manner, focusing on both ideological and socio-cultural aspects of the cinematographic process. Keywords: history, film, movie, cinema, USSR, Russia, film historians, film studies. 1. Introduction Birth of the Russian "Great Mute" (1898–1917). It is known that the French brought the movies to Russia. It was at the beginning of 1896. However, many Russian photographers were able to quickly learn a new craft. Already in 1898, documentary plots were shot not only by foreign, but also by Russian operators.

In 2006, Ipsos Flair was created to demonstrate the originality and intellectual curiosity of Ipsos, because « Flair » is about instinct and intuition. It is the ability to capture the mood, to perceive the right direction, to know when to act. It is also another way of looking, one that considers survey results as sociological interactions enabling us to understand the real relationship between people and everything around them: brands, ads, media… By bringing together these diverse and complementary perspectives related to understanding people, markets and society, the Ipsos Flair series helps our clients to formulate and to fine-tune strategic planning approaches with the full picture. We are really happy to edit Flair in Russia: it is a great country, with a long history and that has given birth to world-class scientists, composers, writers and artists. Russia is a country very often present in the headlines of the news, but no one has a clear vision of this country. Very quickly, ideologies and biases take hold and the picture goes sour. It is time to change the way we look at Russia using Ipsos Flair’s fresh inputs and outlooks. Our ambition is straightforward: to help you to better understand a “mysterious” country. Enjoy your reading! Henri Wallard Deputy CEO | 4 #Editorial Russia could also have been called the Middle Empire, positioned between North Asia and Europe, the Pacific and the Arctic.

  • Art and Protest in Putin's Russia
    Art and Protest in Putin’s Russia The Pussy Riot protest and the subsequent heavy-handed treatment of the protes- tors grabbed headlines, but this was not an isolated instance of art being noticeably critical of the regime. As this book, based on extensive original research, shows, there has been gradually emerging over recent decades a signifi cant counter- culture in the art world which satirises and ridicules the regime and the values it represents, at the same time putting forward, through art, alternative values. The book traces the development of art and protest in recent decades, discusses how art of this kind engages in political and social protest, and provides many illustrations as examples of art as protest. The book concludes by discussing how important art has been in facilitating new social values and in prompting political protests.
