SUMMARY:Hanukai Lecture - "Anxious Visions: Pushkin’s 'The Bronze Horseman' and the Poetics of Late Romanticism"
DESCRIPTION:Anxious Visions:\nPushkin’s ‘The Bronze Horseman’ and the Poetics of Late Romanticism\n\nBy Dr. Maksim Hanukai\nVisiting Assistant Professor\nUniversity of Wisconsin-Madison\n \n\nFriday\, February 09\, 2018\n03:30pm – 05:00pm\n 348 Kaplan Hall\, UCLA  \n\nFew works have fired up the tragic imagination of Russian readers as much as Pushkin’s narrative poem The Bronze Horseman. The tale of a Petersburg clerk who challenges a monument to Peter the Great after losing his fiancée (and his wits) in a devastating flood\, The Bronze Horseman has haunted the pages of Russian literature for almost two centuries\, inspiring not just a myriad new “Petersburg texts” but also a shift in the cultural mythology of Russia’s northern capital. Critics have long read The Bronze Horseman through the prism of tragic theory\, focusing primarily on Pushkin’s portrayal of conflict. This talk will take a different approach. Setting the poem in the context of Romantic theories of symbol and allegory\, I will focus on the problem of representation\, locating the philosophical and emotional basis for a new tragic vision in the unstable nature of Pushkin’s images. \n\nClick here to download the event flyer

SUMMARY:Mayofis Lecture - "The Topos of Woman's (Self)-Sacrifice in Late 1830s Russian Prose: Melodramatic Narratives in the Age of ‘Official Nation-Building’"
DESCRIPTION:“The Topos of Woman’s (Self)-Sacrifice in Late 1830s Russian Prose:\nMelodramatic Narratives in the Age of ‘Official Nation-Building’”\n\nDr. Maria Mayofis\nDotsent (Assistant Professor)\nSchool of Cultural Studies\nNational Research University\nHigher School of Economics\, Moscow \n \nFriday\, February 16th\, 20183:30pm – 5:00pm348 Kaplan Hall \n\nWhen discussing the plots of Russian “society tales” published in the 1830s and 40s\, we can discern two narrative models that have yet to be studied: the story of a “dead fiancée” and the story of a “self-sacrificing woman.” In the first case\, a fiancée dies either just before a marriage or immediately after it; in the second\, a woman denies herself happiness with her beloved in order to keep her family\, or rejects his love so that another woman can marry her sweetheart. \nShould these narrative models be viewed as a legacy of late romanticism? Do they reflect the standard “formulas” of a “society tale”? Or should we analyze these plots as representations of a deeper meaning that could shed new light on the interrelation between literature\, ideology\, and society in Russia in the 1830s and 40s? \n\nEvent Flyer

SUMMARY:Pilshchikov Lecture - "Decoding the Language of Eugene Onegin:  Diachronic Challenges to Understanding Pushkin’s 'Novel in Verse'”
DESCRIPTION:“Decoding the Language of Eugene Onegin:\nDiachronic Challenges to Understanding Pushkin’s ‘Novel in Verse’”\n\nDr. Igor Pilshchikov\nVisiting Associate Professor\nUCLA \n\nFriday\, February 23\, 2018\n3:30-5pm\n348 Kaplan Hall\, UCLA \n\nThe talk is focused on a particular type of difficulty in reading Eugene Onegin that Anna Zalizniak has described as “the proximal semantic evolution effect.” This is the name she gives to the misreading and misunderstanding of a classical text that arise from the fact that we often interpret words and constructions in their contemporary sense rather than the sense which they carried in Pushkin’s lifetime. Such semantic shifts have taken place over a relatively small span of the history of the Russian language and are sometimes not easily recognizable even in well-known texts. The linguist Alexander Penkovsky wrote that this effect is “something similar to what are conventionally called ‘false friends’ in translation.” The lecture will outline a typology of now-archaic forms and diachronic “false friends” in Onegin that are often misread by Russian-speakers today\, as well as the resultant difficulties of translating Pushkin’s “novel in verse” into English. \n\nEvent Flyer
