Moscow: St Andrew’s Biblical Theological Institute Press, 2017, XIV+617 pp . 221 7 FROM THE EDITORS FROM THE EDITORS It is now exactly fifteen years since the first issue of our parent journal, Antropologicheskij forum, was published . Issue no . 1, which also initiated Forum for Anthropology and Culture, opened with a broad discussion, ‘Cultural Anthropology: The State of the Field’, which asked participants to address questions such as the reasons behind the declining interest in the traditional culture of the Russian countryside . The decade and a half since then has seen a large number of changes, some of them (for instance, the geopolitical situation) definitely for the worse . However, that relatively short period of time has also witnessed the reintegration of Russian scholarship — to a significant if not universal degree — into global discussions of key social and cultural problems . Younger scholars now without hesitation apply theoretical texts and cultural criticism in languages other than Russian to the analysis of contemporary pheno mena, and indeed to the examination of historical reality . The ‘Forum’ with which this issue opens, on technology and the body, is a striking illustration of the shift in approach . A Soviet scholar of the 1980s (indeed a scholar from more or less anywhere) would have found the collision of these two topics, whatever their legitimate separate existence in the academic world, more than a little perplexing . However, Russia is now one of the world’s most e-aware societies, while the huge transformation of physical self- awareness and of bodily existence as ‘image’ and ‘performance’ (exemplified by the large number of businesses offering cosmetic procedures in any and all urban centres) is obvious even FORUM FOR ANTHROPOLOGY AND CULTURE 2019 No 15 8 to the most superficial observer . Here the object, though, is not so much to address the glamour industry that has already had quite a lot of discussion (in a recent multi-handed book edited by Helena Goscilo and Vlad Strukov), as to foster an interdisciplinary dis- cussion of topics such as biotechnology, biopolitics and power, robotics, and the entire boundary between ‘the natural’ and ‘the artificial’ in circumstances of radically altered possibilities for man- made objects and states . The ‘Forum’ is followed by an article cluster examining these themes at greater length and with relation to extended treatments of empirical material . A second topic examined in the issue is the (re)imagination of the past . An article by Stanislav Petriashin examines the relationship between the ideological stereotypes of Socialist Realism familiar from painting, cinema, and literature, and the world of the Soviet museum at the same period . Meanwhile, Dmitriy Timoshkin and Konstantin Grigorichev provide a fascinating exploration of an ‘in between’ site in the historic city of Irkutsk, somewhere that cuts across different layers of city identity and proves unclassifiable in terms of the governing ideological imaginary . The issue concludes with three reviews taken from across the journal’s range of interests . Alexandra Kasatkina’s review of Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing’s celebrated study, The Mushroom at the End of the World, suggests both the reach of anthropological work and the pitfalls of trying to convey cultural analysis across the language divide (a number of significant misunderstandings in the Russian translation are identified) . Sergei Shtyrkov’s respectful, but exacting review of Victor Shnirelman’s enormous survey of Russian eschatology, The Tribe of Dan, continues the discussion of religious practice set out in our previous issue, while also picking up on themes of significance here . Finally, Ivan Kirpichnikov assesses Jan Hennings’s study of Russian diplomacy and its international resonance in the early modern period, a book profoundly absorbed in the language of gesture and bodily enactment, so echoing once more the questions that are intensively discussed in the ‘Forum’ . Once more, we express our thanks to the authors, for their willing- ness to participate in the English number, to the participants in the ‘Forum’, and especially to Sergei Sokolovskiy, whose work as editor of the ‘Forum’ and article cluster was essential to the coordination of this issue and the Russian publications on

Cette étude artistique et technique s’inscrit directement dans une recherche entamée depuis des années, sur la question de la représentation sublimée de la mort, qui se retrouve pleinement transfiguré dans l’emblème de la Vanité et sur la recherche de nouvelles façons d’entretenir un dialogue en rétroaction avec l’œuvre. Sur le point artistique, la recherche analyse le processus de création, qui a mené de la représentation sublimée de la mort en vidéo, à la réalisation et l’expérimentation de Vanité au sein de tableaux virtuels interactifs et immersifs. Cette analyse apporte des réponses aux questionnements envers la signification des intentions liées à la création et l’utilisation de Vanité en 3D dans des installations conversationnelles.

  • Danilo Kiš's Fictionalization of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion
    “The Conspiracy, or The Roots of the Disintegration of European Society.” Danilo Kiš’s Fictionalization of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion Dagmar Burkhart Keywords Danilo Kiš; collective memory; thanatopoetics; conspiracy; Book of Kings and Fools; Protocols of the (Learned) Elders of Zion; pogroms Conspiracies have probably been a part of life ever since societies started to be- come more complex and at a time when those in power developed conflicting in- terests. The basic, literal meaning of the verb conspire (from the Latin conspira- re and its derivative, conspiratio, “agreement, union, unanimity”) is “to breathe together,” whereby breathing together was taken to mean “to agree, to concur to one end,” whether that purpose be good or evil (e.g. Genesis 37,18; “They con- spired against [Joseph] to slay him”). Since the middle of the fourteenth century conspiracy has been used in English to mean, first and foremost, “a plotting of evil, unlawful design; a combination of persons for an evil purpose.” The word conspire has, thus, assumed primarily negative connotations: “to secretly plot or make plans together, often with the intention to bring bad or illegal results.”1 Most conspiracy theories are generated in times of crisis. They occupy the space between political constellations and psychological mechanisms. They have much in common with paranoia: the loss of one’s ability to put things into per- spective, a static perception, the narrowed outlook of an extremely egocentric or 1 See “conspire” in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/con- spire 314 | Burkhart group-driven point of view.2 One of the conspiracy theories that has been most relevant in building an enemy stereotype is based on anti-Semitism, which sup- plied the greatest impetus for the persecution of Jews and legitimated the use of violence against them.

  • Nord Brain Stimulation in Psychiatry
    Cambridge Textbook of Neuroscience for Psychiatrists Chapter title: Brain stimulation in psychiatry Name: Dr Camilla L Nord Affiliation: MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, University of Cambridge Email: [email protected] Phone: 01223767481 Address: MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, 15 Chaucer Road, Cambridge, CB2 7EF 1 Brain stimulation in psychiatry One of the best examples of translation from neuroscience to psychiatric treatment is brain stimulation, an array of techniques aimed at modulating the activity and/or plasticity of particular brain structures. Brain stimulation is not new: as far back as ancient Rome, the physician Scribonius Largus wrote of electrical stimulation to relieve migraine (although he employed a torpedo fish, a species of electric ray). Today, a number of invasive and non- invasive brain stimulation techniques show efficacy in treating psychiatric disorders. What these distinct approaches have in common is their ability to target specific neural regions more directly than traditional pharmacological or psychological approaches (see Figure 1). This capacity to influence the very circuits implicated in neuroscience studies has contributed to some transformative discoveries, but has faced key translational challenges, including response variability and inadequate placebos. 1. Non-invasive brain stimulation There are two chief forms of non-invasive brain stimulation: transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). TMS uses brief, high-current pulses to induce a magnetic field, indirectly activating neurons, and causing an increase or decrease in brain activity in a localised target region1. There is substantial evidence that repetitive high-frequency TMS pulses over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (L-DLPFC) are effective for major depressive disorder2, purportedly by restoring activity in the L-DLPFC, a commonly-described source of aberrant activation in neuroimaging studies in depression (often, but not always, showing hypoactivation)3.

    Chapter 3. The Formation of the Ideology of Antisemitism in Europe 3.1. Theoretical Framework The exact chronology of the rise of modern Antisemitism as ideology and move- ment remains unfathomable. Historians mention various insufficient and debatable factors. Hostility toward Jews links not with their numbers, economic standing, or political substance, because the birthplace of modern Antisemitism saw little of Jewish population or influential. Instead, the areas with the largest and most culturally distinct Jewish communities experienced the anti-Jewish movement at a later stage in the form of a secondary phenomenon, which does not mean they held an unequivocally positive image of the Jew. Hannah Arendt in The Origin of Totalitarianism (1951) associated the rise of Antisemitism with the role played in the seventeenth and the eighteenth centuries by the “Court Jews” and, later, the wealthy bankers who funded monarchs and governments. Although the fig- ures of the Rothschild’s or Baron Hirsch strongly influenced the imagination of the public and the Jews themselves, their actual influence was not significant enough to cause such a strong response in the political life of several European nations.104 Instead, the Jewish tycoons symbolized the audacious “insolence,” with which these few families exceeded their role of pariahs and entered universally accepted positions in the society. In other words, they either drawn opposition against the principle of equal opportunities or demonstrated its absence. As soon as the idea of the inevitability of Jewish emancipation spread, the names of the tycoons lost their importance, even though they did not completely disappear from Antisemitic rhetoric.

It seeks to explain the reasons for the sudden, rapid expansion of Black Hundred organizations in 1905, as well as the causes of their decline, which began just two years after their appearance. It further attempts to elucidate the complex relationship between the Black Hundred and Russian authorities, including the central government and local officials. The problem is approached by offering two distinct perspectives on the Black Hundred. First, a broad overview of the movement is presented. The focus here is on the headquarter branches of Black Hundred organizations in St. Petersburg, but these chapters also look at the activities of many different provincial branches, relating trends in the provinces to events in the center in order to draw conclusions about the nature of the overall movement.

  • The Protocols of the Elders of Zion
    The Protocols of the Elders of Zion The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion (Russian: "Протоколы сионских мудрецов" or "Сионские протоколы") is one of many titles given to an antisemitic text purporting to describe a plan to achieve global domination by the Jewish people. Following its first public publication in 1903 in the Russian Empire, a series of articles printed in The Times in 1921 revealed that much of the material was directly plagiarized from earlier works of political satire unrelated to Jews. [1] Publication history The Protocols appeared in print in the Russian Empire as early as 1903. The anti-Semitic tract was published in Znamya , a Black Hundreds newspaper owned by Pavel Krushevan, as a serialized set of articles. It appeared again in 1905 as a final chapter (Chapter XII) of a second edition of Velikoe v malom i antikhrist (The Great in the Small & Antichrist), a book by Serge Nilus. In 1906 it appeared in pamphlet form edited by G. Butmi. [1] These first three (and subsequently more) Russian language imprints were published and circulated in the Russian Empire during 1903–1906 period as a tool for scapegoating Jews, blamed by the monarchists for the defeat in the Russo-Japanese War and the 1905 Russian Revolution. Common to all three texts is the idea that Jews aim for world domination. Since The Protocols are presented as merely a document, the front matter and back matter are needed to explain its alleged origin. The diverse imprints, however, are mutually inconsistent. The general claim is that the document was stolen from a secret Jewish organization.

  • Holy Russia in Modern Times: an Essay on Orthodoxy and Cultural Change*
    HOLY RUSSIA IN MODERN TIMES: AN ESSAY ON ORTHODOXY AND CULTURAL CHANGE* Alas, ‘love thy neighbor’ offers no response to questions about the com- position of light, the nature of chemical reactions or the law of the conservation of energy. Christianity, . increasingly reduced to moral truisms . which cannot help mankind resolve the great problems of hunger, poverty, toil or the economic system, . occupies only a tiny corner in contemporary civilisation. — Vasilii Rozanov1 Chernyshevski and Pobedonostsev, the great radical and the great reac- tionary, were perhaps the only two men of the [nineteenth] century who really believed in God. Of course, an incalculable number of peasants and old women also believed in God; but they were not the makers of history and culture. Culture was made by a handful of mournful skeptics who thirsted for God simply because they had no God. — Abram Tertz [Andrei Siniavskii]2 What defines the modern age? As science and technology develop, faith in religion declines. This assumption has been shared by those who applaud and those who regret it. On the one side, for example, A. N. Wilson laments the progress of unbelief in the last two hundred years. In God’s Funeral, the title borrowed from Thomas Hardy’s dirge for ‘our myth’s oblivion’, Wilson endorses Thomas Carlyle’s doleful assessment of the threshold event of the new era: ‘What had been poured forth at the French Revolution was something rather more destructive than the vials of the Apocalypse. It was the dawning of the Modern’. As Peter Gay comments in a review, ‘Wilson leaves no doubt that the ‘‘Modern’’ with its impudent challenge to time-honoured faiths, was a disaster from start to finish’.3 On the other side, historians * I would like to thank the following for their useful comments on this essay: Peter Brown, Itsie Hull, Mark Mazower, Stephanie Sandler, Joan Scott, Richard Wortman and Reginald Zelnik.

  • The Protocols of Zion: Revelation of the Method
    wariscrime.com http://wariscrime.com/new/the-protocols-of-zion-revelation-of-the-method/ The Protocols of Zion: Revelation of the Method David Livingstone | Conspiracy School 3,240 views May 19, 2015 An objective look at the world today will clearly reveal that a disproportionate number of people in positions of power in Western countries have Jewish names. For those who are the brunt of the nefarious activities of Western foreign policy, particularly the Middle East, “the Jews” then become the logical scapegoat. Fueling their suspicion is the enduring popularity of the notorious Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, which outline an intricate and centuries-old Judeo-Masonic conspiracy to bring about a New World Order, to be governed by the “King of the Jews.” To the unbiased observer, not intimidated by the cowardly tactics of the media, who dismiss any research into conspiracies as “paranoid,” the Protocols present a remarkable similarity to events as they appear to be unfolding. However, there is a deeper plot afoot than conspiracy researchers believe they discover by reading the Protocols, and that is the devious ruse of deliberately cultivating anti-Semitism in support of the Zionist cause. The Protocols seem to be a product of such an audacious scheme. As outlined in his diaries, Theodor Herzl, the father of Zionism, sought to deliberately inflame anti-Semitism. Following the perception of Jews declared in the Protocols, he wrote, “the wealthy Jews control the world. In their hands lies the fate of the governments and nations. They set governments one against the other, and by their decree governments make peace.

  • Red Press: Radical Print Culture from St. Petersburg to Chicago The
    Red Press: Radical Print Culture from St. Petersburg to Chicago The Russian revolution simmered for decades before finally toppling the imperial government in early 1917 and bringing to power the world’s first Communist government later that same year. Like no other political event the Bolshevik revolution reverberated around the world, carried by political networks via print and visual media. The University of Chicago has a privileged vantage point on the revolution’s “red press,” in large part thanks to Samuel Northrup Harper, son of the University’s founding president, William Rainey Harper. During his extensive sojourns in Russia Samuel Harper collected first-hand documentation of Russian culture and politics from 1904 to the late 1930s, with a particular emphasis on the revolutionary decade between 1905 and 1917. In January 1905 he was on Palace Square in St. Petersburg during the infamous Bloody Sunday encounter. In the summer of 1917 he was back in the imperial capital, now named Petrograd, to witness the tumult between the February and October revolutions. In between he spent half of each year at the University of Chicago teaching courses in Russian, laying the foundations of the University’s programs in Russian studies. Red Press augments Harper’s collection of handbills, pamphlets, and other revolutionary ephemera with material from other holdings in Special Collections that document how Russia’s revolution was described, imagined and disseminated, from the Far East to the streets of Chicago. ANDO CASE Soviet Propaganda Posters The transformation of the former Russian Empire into a socialist state required the mass organization of people, material and minds.
