Americanization of Russia| A study of the advertising strategies of Coca-Cola and McDonald's in Russian videos.

▼ In this research, I examine selected commercial videos promoting the American corporations Coca-Cola and McDonald's in the Russian market over the period 2007-2010. Proceeding on the assumption that the selected videos are typical TV commercials utilized by these two companies in the Russian market, my major goal is to determine the ways in which the ads attempt to make the given products appealing to Russian consumers. I found that the video ads of these two corporations revealed a strategy aimed at avoiding negative attitudes against the products (and their potential profits) because of their strong identification with America and everything that America might represent to Russian consumers. This challenge is complicated because a segment of the potential market, principally young people, undoubtedly would not mind an association with American values and would generally respond favorably to American and broad cosmopolitan (foreign, non-Russian) interests. Moreover, creating ads with exclusively Russian themes (for example, from folklore) could potentially reach customers in other segments of the population less enamored of American products. The challenge facing both companies was to make a foreign product acceptable and appealing to a Russian market. The strategies they used to do this are worth examining for the sake of obtaining insights into successful advertising campaigns in Russia in particular and in foreign cultures in general. Analyses will yield conclusions that may be useful to psychologists, linguists, cultural historians and members of other disciplines involved in advertising design and business strategies.

▼ This dissertation analyzes an unusual grammatical pattern that I call locative determiner omission, which is found in several languages belonging to the Slavic, Romance, and Albanian families, but which does not appear to have been directly inherited from any individual genetic ancestor of these languages. Locative determiner omission involves the omission of a definite article in the context of a locative prepositional phrase, and stands out as a feature of the Balkan linguistic area for which there are few, if any crosslinguistic parallels. This investigation of the origin and diachronic spread of locative determiner omission serves the particular goal of revealing how the social context of language contact could have resulted in a pattern of grammatical borrowing without lexical borrowing, yielding a present distribution in which locative determiner omission appears in several Balkan languages no longer in direct contact with one another. A detailed structural and historical analysis of locative determiner omission in Albanian, Romanian, Aromanian, and Macedonian is used as a basis for comparison with other Balkan languages. The analysis pays particular attention to the sequence of grammatical changes necessary for the outcome of locative determiner omission in each language, and the specific sociocultural configurations between speaker communities at relevant historical stages that allowed for the spread of locative determiner omission without direct lexical borrowing. This makes it possible to establish that locative determiner omission arose from a period of early contact between proto-Albanian and Late Latin, resulting in the generalization of the structure across all branches of Balkan Romance. During a later period, contact between Aromanian and individual dialects of Albanian and Macedonian resulted in the transfer of this feature, which then spread throughout most, but not all dialects of these latter languages. A methodological contribution of this dissertation is the demonstration that in-depth study of a grammatical feature that is suspected to have developed through language contact can yield important insights into the historical and social dynamics of a linguistic area that cannot be determined through synchronic observation of broad similarities alone. Even in the absence of documentation, careful reconstruction of the structural accommodations required for the adoption of a grammatical innovation can reveal new information about the process of language contact. This is particularly true for features that are not uniformly distributed across a linguistic area, as is the case with locative determiner omission in the Balkans. As a consequence, my proposal argues for an approach to linguistic areas that views them as an outcome of localized, layered clusters of convergence.

▼ This dissertation proposes a structured semantic account of the polysemous Russian verbal prefix <i>po</i>- within the theoretical framework of cognitive linguistics and using corpus linguistic methods. While scholarly consensus identifies five meanings for <i>po</i>- and an additional meaning in conjunction with the suffix -<i>yva</i>-, the relationships among these six meanings have not been fully explored. By means of a corpus-linguistic analysis I determine the semantic structure linking the various meanings of <i>po</i>-: I collect a randomly selected sample of <i>po</i>-prefixed verbs (with accompanying contexts) from the Russian National Corpus, the largest annotated Russian language corpus extant. The collected data is manually tagged for a number of collocational, syntactic, and semantic parameters to create a behavioral profile of <i> po</i>-. The behavioral profile is subjected to a hierarchical agglomerative cluster analysis, resulting in a dendrogram that illustrates varying degrees of connection among meanings. Meanings are grouped into clusters based on degree of similarity, and the intra- and inter-cluster differences are investigated by use of <i>z</i>-scores and <i>t</i>-values. I then apply cognitive linguistic concepts to motivate the semantic structure of <i> po</i>-, showing how this account both echoes and expands previous work on prefixal semantics. I conclude that the meanings of <i>po</i>- can be grouped into two clusters: Cluster one is comprised of the attenuative, delimitative, ingressive, and resultative meanings. Cluster two contains the more peripheral distributive and intermittent-attenuative meanings. The resultative meaning is prototypical and indicates that the subject has traversed the metaphoric path implied by the base verb in its entirety. The remaining meanings are metaphoric and metonymic extensions of that central meaning. This view of the semantics of <i> po</i>- coincides with what is known about the historical development of the prefix. The contributions of this dissertation are twofold: First, I have produced a cognitively-motivated description of the semantic structure of <i> po</i>- based on empirical data. Secondly, this analysis suggests that quantitative methods are useful not only in the study of lexemes and grammatical constructions, but also in prefixal semantics. In addition, I point out large groups of <i>po</i>-prefixed verbs largely untouched by the scholarly literature that deserve further study.

▼ For Andy Warhol (1928-1987), images meant for commercial advertisement, tabloid publication, and entertainment were not merely meaningless reflections of a commodity and media-obsessed world – they were sacred. In 1986, the Pop artist based the last major series of his career on a reproduction of a Renaissance masterpiece, Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper (1495-97/98, figure 1). Given the slick packaging of Warhol's oeuvre and his cool public persona, it would be easy to dismiss these late paintings as a cynical comment on the proliferation of images in American society. Viewing The Last Supper series from the perspectives of biography, psychology, and cultural identity, however, has led to a startling conclusion that refutes decades of postmodern analysis categorizing Warhol as a shallow artist limiting himself to the simulacral surface. The son of Carpatho-Rusyn immigrants and a devout Byzantine Catholic, Warhol's relationship with the visual image was formed by a rich cultural heritage in which icons, or holy pictures, are experienced as sacred doorways that make the unseen world real. Although he convincingly played the role of a scheming hipster defiantly blurring the line between commercial and fine art, Warhol's style and technique expose his lifelong connection to the religious imagery with which he grew up.

Alternative Masculinities in Late Soviet Nonconformist Literature, 1958-1991.

▼ During the late Soviet period, many educators, scientists and journalists believed that traditional gender roles and norms had changed, producing physically or ethically weak men and correspondingly strong women. The following study follows the representations of this shift among Soviet nonconformist poets, writers and playwrights in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. Social scientists have argued that these perceived changes were explained in their time as the result of demographic imbalance of men to women or the deterioration of men's bodies due to problems such as alcoholism. In contrast, this study shows that in nonconformist literature, the late Soviet gender crisis was a reaction to the Stalinist unitary model of the "steeled" man, as expressed in culture and art. Authors articulated alternative models of masculinity as part of a larger critique of Soviet, primarily Stalinist, civilization. This dissertation analyzes the prose works of Venedikt Erofeev and Yuz Aleshkovsky, the poetry of Genrikh Sapgir and Nina Iskrenko, and the prose and plays of Lyudmila Petrushevskaya. How did these authors construct male weakness and female strength - physically, mentally, spiritually, or as a mixture of all three aspects? Did they decry these changes or did they valorize them as alternatives to the Stalinist legacy of "steeled" men? Did the authors place the responsibility for the perceived emasculation of the Soviet man on the state or on the man himself? As this study demonstrates, nonconformist authors emphasize detachment from the Stalinist "steeled man" and Soviet national identity. However, they do not valorize this detachment. They do not call the reader to "turn off," but search imaginatively for alternative masculinities. They turn to the cultural past as a source for models of manhood. Furthermore, the authors problematize disengagement from society. A highly ambivalent alternative model for masculinity is the antithesis of the Soviet "steeled man": the feeble, irresponsible, often alcoholic weakling. While writers such as Erofeev elicit compassion for this archetype, already in Sapgir's early work, it provokes a mixture of ridicule and horror. Petrushevskaya and Iskrenko capitalize on this tendency, unleashing irony and parody at the archetype.

▼ Patronage of malachite by the Russian court and members of the nobility culminated in the 1830s-1850s in creation of superb malachite-veneered objects and entire architectural interiors fitted with malachite. Well documented and available for study, malachite items of this period were at the core of scholarly attention, dubbing the malachite-veneering technique Russian Mosaic. Meanwhile, objects produced in the decades leading to the high point of malachite culture in Russia were never a subject of specialized study, which left unexplored the reasons behind the phenomenon of popularity of this particular mineral. By analyzing malachite objects made in the 1780s-1800s, this paper follows the progression of malachite from a natural wonder to a luxury material and discusses the role of creative exchange between Italian architects and artisans and Russian patrons in ensuring the mineral's initial success as decorative material. This paper contributes to the study of stylistic and technological diffusion in the decorative arts.

Russian Constructivist Theory and Practice in the Visual and Verbal Forms of "Pro Eto".

▼ This dissertation aims in part to redress the shortage of close readings of Vladimir Mayakovsky and Aleksandr Rodchenko's joint project, the book <i> Pro Eto.</i> It explores the relationship between the book's visual and verbal aspects, treating the book and its images as objects that repay attentive looking and careful analysis. By these means this dissertation finds that the images do not simply illustrate the text, but have an intertextual relationship with it: sometimes the images suggest their own, alternative narrative, offering scenes that do not exist in the poem; sometimes they act as literary criticism, suggesting interpretations, supplying biographical information, and highlighting with their own form aspects of the poem's. This analysis reveals <i>Pro Eto</i>'s strong links with distant forms of art and literature. The poem's intricate ties to the book of Genesis and Victor Shklovsky's novel <i>Zoo,</i> written while the former literary critic was in exile in Berlin, evince an ambivalence about the manifestations of socialism in early-1920s Russia that is missing from much of Mayakovsky's work. At the same time Rodchenko's images, with their repeated references to Byzantine icons and Dadaist photomontage, expand the poem's scope and its concerns far beyond NEP-era Moscow. Thus my analysis finds that although <i> Pro Eto</i> is considered to be an emblematic Constructivist work, many of the received ideas about Russian Constructivism—the unswerving zeal of its practitioners, the utility of its production, and in particular the ideology-driven, <i>sui-generis</i> nature of the movement itself—are not supported by the book. <i>Pro Eto</i>'s deep connections with art and literature outside of Bolshevik Russia contradict the idea—first set out by the Constructivists themselves and widely accepted by subsequent scholars—of Constructivism as an autochthonous movement, born of theory, and indebted neither to historical art movements nor to contemporary western ones. My analysis suggests that reading Pro Eto through the lens of Constructivist theory denies the work the richness, ambivalence and humor it gains when that theory is understood as being in conversation with artistic practice, rather than defining it.

▼ This study examines the motion verb system of Bulgarian, focusing both on the structure of the Bulgarian motion verb itself, and on the information typically encoded in the Bulgarian verb of motion. It then compares the Bulgarian motion verb system with the motion verb systems of two other Slavic languages, Russian and Bosnian-Croatian-Serbian (BCS). The theoretical framework is Leonard Talmy's typological categorization of languages as either verb framed/low manner languages or satellite framed/high manner languages. The Slavic language family, like most other Indo-European languages families, is considered satellite framed and high manner: path of motion tends to be expressed by a satellite to the verb (in the form of a preposition and/or a prefix), leaving the verb root free to express manner. The expression of manner in the verb root itself results in a lower cognitive load for the processing of manner of motion, and consequently, speakers of satellite-framed languages tend to develop motion verb vocabulary around the expression of manner of motion.For this research I collected a data set of 500 motion verbs from Bulgarian literature, and then another data set of approximately 500 motion verbs from each from Bulgarian, BCS, and Russian, from novels translated into these languages from two satellite framed/high manner languages (English and German) and two verb framed/low manner languages (Portuguese and Turkish). I also collected oral narratives using the picture book Frog, Where Are You?,/italic>, and compared these data with similar data collected by other researchers for Serbian and Russian. This allowed me to not only to describe the Bulgarian motion verb system and its most common verbs of motion, but also to compare Bulgarian motion verb usage with other Slavic language motion verb usage.This research has discovered a number of ways in which the lexicalization patterning of Bulgarian motion verbs is not typically Slavic. Namely, Bulgarian focuses heavily on path constructions, and new motion verb vocabulary has developed around path constructions in ways not seen in BCS and Russian. Additionally, although Bulgarian verbal prefixation appears to be quite similar to that in Russian and BCS, the system is in fact much more limited; this may be a factor in the increased expression of path of motion in Bulgarian. Finally, this research has shown that Bulgarian lexicalization patterns are more similar to those in Greek, and raises the possibility that the Bulgarian motion verb system might have been influenced by Balkan contact phenomena.

▼ Focusing on the symbolic and ideological meanings of Japan in the Russian cultural imagination from 1890 to 1917, this dissertation seeks to define Russian literary japonisme and to explore the presence of Japanese art and aesthetics in Russian Modernist literature. In this study, modernism is divided into four distinct stages: the 1890s, the period of the rise of japonisme in Russian literature; 1904-05, the cataclysmic years of the Russo-Japanese War; 1906-09, the period in which writers described the war's lingering effects; the 1910s, a decade that not only offered a retrospective account of the war, but that also reclaimed the pre-war Russian fascination with Japanese themes and motifs. While historical events serve as a backdrop to my study and help to shape its direction, this dissertation deals expressly with culture. It points to the images, metaphors and symbolic language that were used to describe Russian and Japanese relations at both the beginning and height of Russian Modernism. Even as this study draws from the rich body of scholarship that explores Russia's relationship to Japan and examines many of the same issues – the war, Russian japonisme, Russia's constantly shifting perception of Japan – its primary emphasis remains the aesthetic collision between the East and West. The chapters are chronologically arranged and provide a glimpse into the role that Japan played in the literature and images produced by the Russian cultural imagination. Chapter One points to the symbolic image of the geisha in both Anton Chekhov's "The Lady with a Little Dog" and Fedor Sologub's The Petty Demon to illustrate Russia's fin-de-siècle aesthetic fascination with Japan. In the second chapter, I offer a "panoramic" view of the phantasmagoric Russo-Japanese War, highlighting the common symbolic language that appeared in various visual and verbal representations of the event. Chapter Three focuses on the war's aftermath and the collective trauma, or "wound," that was articulated in the post-war essays and literature of Aleksandr Blok, Dmitry Merezhkovsky and Zinaida Gippius. The final chapter of this dissertation offers an analysis of Russia's literary return to japonisme in the decade following the Russo-Japanese War. I argue that, as the war faded into the past, writers like Andrei Bely, Konstantin Bal'mont and Mikhail Kuzmin began to reengage with Japanese art, even adopting Japanese aesthetic principles into their writing. In 1905, Bely famously compared Japan to a mask, and the aim of this dissertation is to "unmask" Russia's Japan – that is, to explore the shifting symbolic meanings of the image of Japan in the Russian cultural imagination between 1890 and 1917.

Russophonia: Towards a Transnational Conception of Russian-Language Literature.

▼ This dissertation introduces the concept of Russophonia, which refers to the widespread and variegated uses of the Russian language outside of the customary boundaries of ethnicity and nation. Using the designations of Anglophone, Francophone, and Sinophone literature as a model, I propose Russophone literature as an accurate and necessary classification for works that are too often dismissed as peripheral, or at best, awkwardly shoehorned into the existing Russian canon. I further argue that Russophone Studies, as a potential field of academic inquiry, would provide the space for understanding realities outside of an imperial center, and identities beyond a traditional understanding of nationality. The first chapter provides an introduction to Russophonia, illustrating its major issues through an analysis of works by Chingiz Aitmatov (1928-2008), Bakhytzhan Kanap'ianov (b. 1951), and Eduard Bagirov (b. 1975). The subsequent three chapters trace the development of Russophone literature in the Imperial, Soviet, and post-Soviet periods. Chapter 2 dates the origins of Russophone literature to the Russian Empire's colonial expansion into Central Asia and the Caucasus, as the Russian language, Russian institutions, and contact with Russian intellectuals shaped the development of local literatures in the newly colonized areas. I show how early Russophone writers synthesized local literary forms with elements from Russian and West European literatures. I also discuss the processes of Soviet mythmaking by which Mirza Fatali Akhundov (1812-1878), Abai Kunanbaev(1845-1904), and Chokan Valikhanov (1835-1865) were recast as the foundational figures of national literary traditions in Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan. In chapter 3 I discuss the proliferation of Russophone literature as a product of the Soviet mandate for proletarian national literatures under the postwar ideology of the "friendship of peoples." I focus on the Soviet Thaw period of the late 1950s and early 60s, when postwar decolonization and the beginnings of a postcolonial consciousness in world literature and criticism coincided with Soviet attempts to exert influence over the newly independent states of the so-called Third World. With these issues in mind, I analyze the poetry of the Russophone Kazakh writer Olzhas Suleimenov (b. 1937), who enjoyed the ample privileges of a state-sanctioned writer, but eventually used his position to raise awareness of Soviet oppression and ecological violence. I cast this intersection of Soviet literature and postcolonial awareness as the catalyst for a later wave of nationally charged activism that contributed to the Soviet Union's eventual disintegration.The concluding chapter examines contemporary literature written in Russian in the independent post-Soviet states, as well as in new "locations" online. At the center of my analysis are two schools of Russophone poetry that arose from the print culture of Soviet Central Asia, but today maintain a parallel, equally significant presence online: the Tashkent School and the Fergana…

▼ Ivan Meštrović (1883 – 1962), a sculptor whose works circulated for fifty years in the main halls of the major cities across the globe, has been pushed out of the center of art historical discourse towards the margins. If cultural memory is articulated in art, in literature, in cultural practices, and in institutions (all of which Meštrović was instrumental in establishing, creating, and inaugurating), then my inter-disciplinary approach seeks to combat the crisis of amnesia by occupying an intermediary space, between art and philosophy, between combating histories and the present, between events and their representations in art and literature. The theoretical trajectory that my research proposes is to treat art less as the historical instance of a particular work or style within a closed chronology defined by a discipline, and more as an event that has the potential to break with the repetition of the same, and all determinations of a work, in order to let in something different and unforeseen. In order to examine the premise guiding my thesis, that there is an event astir in the work, I have structured this study around three movements. These movements can briefly be described in Nietzschean terms as (1) the affirmation of carrying the burden of inherited values from the tradition (the camel); (2) the negation and destruction of established values, the re-valuation of meaning (the lion, Zarathustra); and (3) the hetermorphic affirmation of a repetition that selects and repeats differently to release a new event (not just carrying), the joyful affirmation of multiplicity and becoming (Dionysus, the child). Along with the name Ivan Meštrović, several formulations of a fluid conception of kairos will be developed to inform the respective methodological approaches. The point will not be to define kairos as <i> a</i> concept, or to produce <i>the</i> definitive monograph on Ivan Meštrović, but to trace the modes of existence that these names produce, to elaborate on how the proper name functions, and to outline some trajectories and spaces (political, religious, and social) that can be effected by reactivating the event in these names.

▼ This is an interdisciplinary dissertation
that addresses an array of questions relating to Russian opera and,
in particular, the Russian language as it is sung in “classical”
or, to use the Russian term, “academic” music (art song and opera).
The first half of the dissertation examines several matters of
cultural and literary interest, including: the first major
programming of Russian operatic music in the West during Sergei
Diaghilev’s Saisons Russes; the adaptation of Russian literature to
opera; the notion of a Russian “national” vocal timbre; and the
current culture of vocal training, professional opera singing, and
opera production in Russia. Having examined some
historical, textual, and cultural contexts surrounding the art of
singing as practiced in Russia, the second half of the dissertation
studies Russian lyric diction – that is, how the language is
pronounced for communication and expression during performance of
the vocal repertoire. After establishing and contextualizing the
precise definition of “lyric diction,” the dissertation
investigates ways that the pronunciation of Russian changes from
its speech norms in the lyric diction. The centerpiece of the study
is an analysis of the vowel reduction patterns of sung Russian. The
final portion of the dissertation discusses consonants in the lyric
diction, suggesting strategies to assist the Anglophone vocalist in
singing intelligibly and expressively in Russian.
In keeping with its interdisciplinary nature,
the research for this dissertation encompasses a variety of
methods, including literary analysis, in-country ethnographic field
research, acoustical analysis by computer, and – perhaps most
fruitfully – much listening and observing of recordings of Russian
opera and song performance in consultation with native speaker
informants. The results of this research should
be of interest to scholars of Russian culture and music and to
vocalists, vocal coaches, and voice teachers who are involved or
wish to be involved in the performance and presentation of Russian
vocal literature. The discoveries about Russian diction help to
correct frequent misunderstandings and demystify the
subject. They
should prove useful for the future development of much needed
manuals or other instructional materials on Russian lyric diction.
The results may also be of interest to linguistic
studies on topics
in phonetics, inasmuch as classical singing can be considered a
form of maximally emphatic, formal, or stylized speech. Finally,
the sections on cultural and literary aspects of Russian opera
contribute a new point of view to the omnipresent discussion of
Russian musical self-identity versus Western perceptions of Russian
music.

▼ The development of the human trafficking phenomenon in
Poland has repercussions that span throughout the European Union
(EU). Because of Poland’s geographic location as the second largest
country of the EU’s eastern border, the country plays a critical
role in curbing human trafficking throughout the region. As
migration and labor policies supported by the media and political
actors affect trends in trafficking, the ways in which the media
represents trafficking is imperative to society’s understanding of
and reaction to trafficking. By performing a research and content
analysis on articles available through three news publications’
online websites, I argue that the manner in which Polish media
sources report on human trafficking not only affects the public’s
understanding but also how society and the government react to it.
This study addresses how Gazeta Wyborcza, Rzeczpospolita, and
Gazeta Polska Codziennie formulate human trafficking discourse by
the use of agenda setting, framing, bandwagoning, and omission
techniques. The media uses these techniques to present trafficking
in a way that conforms to fit the ideological and political agendas
of agencies and actors, constructing a particular
(mis)representation the phenomenon. The “criminalization” frame is
used by publications in order to convey trafficked persons are
helpless and vulnerable, while the “immigration” poses the
trafficking issue as merely a matter of border control. This
analysis also demonstrates how the issue of human trafficking has
become entrenched within a political battleground for influence and
has become associated with, or “bandwagoned to”, other contested
issues in Poland, in particular, in-vitro fertilization and
immigration, in order to support right-leaning parties’ conceptions
of a true Polish-Catholic identity. The omission of information
mitigates the complex socio-economic conditions such as violent
conflict and poverty that push many trafficked persons to seek a
chance for safety and stability abroad.

▼ This paper examines the past and present of Croatian
language policy and advances expectations for the future of said
policy. I first provide background on the present state of language
policy in Croatia, namely how Croatian language policy has been
formulated with the intention of widening the cultural difference
between Croatia, Serbia and Bosnia. Croatian language policy has
also been in response to perceived Serbian linguistic hegemony
during the Yugoslav years. Despite the nationalist character of the
new Croatian standard language, ethnic minorities in Croatia have
been willing to assimilate linguistically because of the perceived
advantages Croatia has over the other former Yugoslav states.
Croatia has moved more quickly through the European Union accession
process, which is seen as the result of Croatia's economic,
political and cultural advantages as a European rather than Balkan
state. Despite the evidence that Croatia is better off as part of
Europe, the European Union expects Croatia to play a strong role in
helping the rest of the Balkans move forward. Additionally, the
Croatian people heavily support E.U. accession for the rest of the
Balkans. The future qualities of the Croatian language will be
largely influenced by the tensions between the current policy,
rooted in strong nationalism, and expectations of future regional
cooperation.

▼ This study investigates the popular Adventures of
Erast Fandorin series of Boris Akunin, Russia’s best-selling author
of detective fiction. With the aid of Mikhail Bakhtin’s concepts of
the chronotope and the zone of maximal contact, it addresses
questions of genre (in a transnational context), serialization, and
the role of zlobodnevnye voprosy (`current issues’) in historical
fiction. My analysis locates Akunin in the history of international
detective fiction in order to appraise his contribution not only to
the genre but also to modern Russian literature. To account for
Akunin’s influential status in his home country, I hypothesize the
reasons for the extraordinary success of his works and the cult
around the protagonist of the series, as well as the significance
of Fandorin’s values for contemporary Russian
society.

▼ The Sinaiskij Paterik, one of the oldest written
documents in Old Russian literature , was translated from a 7th
century Greek original. Scholars are divided on the topic of the
place and time of translation of this document into Old East
Slavic. The majority of linguists postulate that it was translated
in Bulgaria in the 10th century while others believe that the
Sinaiskij Paterik was translated in the 9th century by Saint
Methodius, and yet others think that the translation took place in
Old Rus' in the 11th century. The original text is known as
¿e¿µ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ 'meadow', and represents a series of didactic stories
about lives of monks. The fact that this is a translation does not
mean an absence of variation in the Old Russian text. Indeed, the
document contains different kinds of variation. One instance of
such variation is the presence in the manuscript of both
uncontracted and contracted imperfect forms. It is a very
interesting phenomenon as the majority of the imperfects used in
Old Russian documents represent a contracted variety, reflecting a
process evident already in Old Church Slavonic. The objective of my
research was to investigate the factors which might have possibly
influenced the use of uncontracted forms in the document and to
determine which factors, if any, had conditioned such use. My
exhaustive analysis of all conceivable factors led me to conclude
that only individual preferences of scribes and the length of words
might have influenced the choice of uncontracted forms, whether in
the translation or the copying process.

▼ Fryderyk Chopin's fame today is too often taken for granted. Chopin lived in a time when Poland did not exist politically, and the history of his reception must take into consideration the role played by Poland's occupying powers. Prior to 1918, and arguably thereafter as well, Poles saw Chopin as central to their "imagined community." They endowed national meaning to Chopin and his music, but the tendency to glorify the composer was in a constant state of negotiation with the political circumstances of the time. This dissertation investigates the history of Chopin's reception by focusing on several events that would prove essential to preserving and propagating his legacy. Chapter 1 outlines the indispensable role some Russians played in memorializing Chopin, epitomized by Milii Balakirev's initiative to erect a monument in Chopin's birthplace Żelazowa Wola in 1894. Despite their political tension, Russia and Poland came together in the common cause of venerating Chopin. Chapter 2 examines two instances of the Russian-Polish cooperation: Chopin centennial celebrations in 1910 and 1949. These celebrations featured speeches and commemorative concerts that later became the norm. Chapter 3 considers the International Chopin Piano Competition, founded in independent Poland in 1927. As one of the earliest international musical contests of its kind and scale, the Chopin Competition effectively turned Chopin from a national into an international figure. Furthermore, the public nature of the competition led to the engagement of the entire society, involving spectators and the press. Besides the three main chapters, two Interludes survey the representations of Chopin and his music in Russian and Polish literature. In addition to literature, this dissertation analyzes works of visual art and music to consider the process of mythmaking and its implications.

▼ The Silver Age has long been considered one of the most vibrant artistic movements in Russian history. Due to sweeping changes that were occurring across Russia, culminating in the 1917 Revolution, the apocalyptic sentiments of the general populace caused many intellectuals and artists to turn towards esotericism and occult thought. With this, there was an increased interest in transcendentalism, and art was becoming much more abstract. The tenets of the Russian Symbolist movement epitomized this trend. Poets and philosophers, such as Vladimir Solovyov, Andrei Bely, and Vyacheslav Ivanov, theorized about the spiritual aspects of words and music. It was music, however, that was singled out as possessing transcendental properties.In recent decades, there has been a surge in scholarly work devoted to the transcendent strain in Russian Symbolism. The end of the Cold War has brought renewed interest in trying to understand such an enigmatic period in Russian culture. While much scholarship has been devoted to Symbolist poetry, there has been surprisingly very little work devoted to understanding how the soundscape of music works within the sphere of Symbolism. The question that arises is: what about music can be understood as transcendental? In the Symbolist journal Novyi Put’, Andrei Bely noted the piano compositions of Nikolai Medtner as being the perfect example of theurgy. Bely’s description of this, however, is extremely vague and our understanding of where theurgy lies in the compositional process is hard to grasp. The same ambiguity exists in making sense of the composer Sergei Rachmaninoff, whose music is reviewed prominently in Symbolist journals. A composer who tried deliberately to embody the spirit of Symbolism and theurgy in his music was Alexander Scriabin, who planned to compose a seven day long piece that was meant to actually summon the apocalypse. Due to his untimely death, this was a work that never came to fruition. Confusion over the musical construction of Scriabin’s late works, by musicians and scholars alike, is generally coupled with a sympathetic yet dismissive view of his own messianic and maniacal ideologies. The opaque sense of meaning surrounding musical transcendentalism in this repertoire has presented a considerable challenge not only for performers, but for scholars as well. Musicologists have spent a considerable amount of time on the formal aspects of this music, but have still been hesitant in deciphering its meaning. Literary scholars have been able to interpret some semblance of meaning in music described by Symbolist poets, but have not shown where this lies within the music. What is necessary in trying to understand the Symbolist concept of musical transcendentalism and theurgy is a study that attempts to take into account all facets of research. In this dissertation, I present a means by which to understand this music without compromising formal structure, cultural context, or performance.

▼ The breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991 reminded many that "Soviet" and "Russian" were not synonymous, but this distinction continues to be overlooked when discussing Soviet literature. Like the Soviet Union, Soviet literature was a consciously multinational, multiethnic project. This dissertation approaches Soviet literature in its broadest sense - as a cultural field incorporating texts, institutions, theories, and practices such as writing, editing, reading, canonization, education, performance, and translation. It uses archival materials to analyze how Soviet literary institutions combined Russia's literary heritage, the doctrine of socialist realism, and nationalities policy to conceptualize the national literatures, a term used to define the literatures of the non-Russian peripheries. It then explores how such conceptions functioned in practice in the early 1930s, in both Moscow and Baku, the capital of Soviet Azerbaijan. Although the debates over national literatures started well before the Revolution, this study focuses on 1932-34 as the period when they crystallized under the leadership of the Union of Soviet Writers. It examines how the vision of the First All-Union Congress of Soviet Writers grew during its planning process, so that the ultimate event in 1934 was a two-week performance celebrating Soviet literature as multinational. It then looks to the Azerbaijani delegation to that Congress as an example of how non-Russian nationalities interpreted and negotiated Moscow's broad policies. Azerbaijan is a useful case study as it incorporates a changing national identity, a multilingual literary heritage, an ethnically diverse urban proletariat, the pan-Turkic movement, and issues of religious versus ethnic identity.

▼ This dissertation aims in part to redress the shortage of close readings of VladimirMayakovsky and Aleksandr Rodchenko's joint project, the book Pro Eto. It explores therelationship between the book's visual and verbal aspects, treating the book and its images asobjects that repay attentive looking and careful analysis. By these means this dissertation findsthat the images do not simply illustrate the text, but have an intertextual relationship with it:sometimes the images suggest their own, alternative narrative, offering scenes that do not exist inthe poem; sometimes they act as literary criticism, suggesting interpretations, supplyingbiographical information, and highlighting with their own form aspects of the poem's.This analysis reveals Pro Eto's strong links with distant forms of art and literature. Thepoem's intricate ties to the book of Genesis and Victor Shklovsky's novel Zoo, written while theformer literary critic was in exile in Berlin, evince an ambivalence about the manifestations ofsocialism in early-1920s Russia that is missing from much of Mayakovsky's work. At the sametime Rodchenko's images, with their repeated references to Byzantine icons and Dadaistphotomontage, expand the poem's scope and its concerns far beyond NEP-era Moscow. Thus myanalysis finds that although Pro Eto is considered to be an emblematic Constructivist work,many of the received ideas about Russian Constructivism – the unswerving zeal of itspractitioners, the utility of its production, and in particular the ideology-driven, sui-generisnature of the movement itself – are not supported by the book. Pro Eto's deep connections withart and literature outside of Bolshevik Russia contradict the idea – first set out by theConstructivists themselves and widely accepted by subsequent scholars – of Constructivism asan autochthonous movement, born of theory, and indebted neither to historical art movementsnor to contemporary western ones. My analysis suggests that reading Pro Eto through the lens ofConstructivist theory denies the work the richness, ambivalence and humor it gains when thattheory is understood as being in conversation with artistic practice, rather than defining it.

How to Build a "Folk" Song: Socialist Bulgarian Song Texts and Folkloric Language in the South Slavic Context.

▼ This dissertation attempts to investigate the notion of folkloric language in Bulgarian and other South Slavic languages by problematizing the position of newly composed “folk” songs in the cultural imagination of socialist Bulgaria. Ostensibly sung by Bulgaria’s new socialist “folk” and published alongside preindustrial texts in volumes of national “folk songs,” these texts were presented as a new part of Bulgaria’s national folklore canon. But although their content describes recent events of World War II and “modern” socialist ways of life, their linguistic structures often seem to have been modeled on those of more traditional texts. It is argued that the nonstandard linguistic features that characterize these socialist-era works were employed in order to lend the texts the air of “authenticity,” which marked them as legitimate representations of Bulgarian folk culture.One finds a number of interesting linguistic features in these songs, including nonstandard orthographic representations of phonology, marked morphological and syntactic patterns, a distinct lexicon, and special poetic structures. Although folkloric texts in Bulgarian are often said to contain “dialectal” language, one finds in these songs relatively few representations of language representative of true regional dialects, that is, linguistic traits of a limited geographic area. Instead, most marked features of the texts seem to be archaic in nature: generally, either from Bulgarian as it was spoken in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, or from older Slavic and even Indo-European poetic traditions. It is supposed that these features are some of the salient markers of folkloric language in Bulgarian.To test this hypothesis, a survey was conducted with native speakers of Bulgarian that asked informants to respond to prompts containing sample lines from folk songs both with and without the linguistic devices in question. Speakers did, in fact, generally find the marked prompts to sound folkloric, which supports the idea that the special linguistic features carry folkloric stylistic marking. When similar features were tested with song lines in Serbian, however, they seemed to have little effect on native speakers’ perceptions of folkloric qualities. This suggests that folkloric language is primarily conceptualized within culturally specific national linguistic traditions.As an additional point of comparison, two more song corpora were examined. One consisted of actual folk songs of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries (“folk” but not socialist), and the other was a 1969 album from a popular Bulgarian singer (socialist but not “folk”). The traits originally identified as folkloric were found in abundance in the former corpus but were mostly absent from the latter, further confirming the theory that these traits are primarily limited to folkloric genres.It is proposed that the specific bundle of nonstandard traits identified in the socialist songs form a linguistic register in Bulgarian that can be used to mark language as folkloric.…

Personal narratives of women's leadership and community activism in Cherkasy Oblast.

▼ Ukraine's women's movement is part of a complex social field characteristic of formerly Soviet countries, but it also emerges from its own specific political history. Post-Soviet period, (neo-) nationalism, feminism and (neo-) socialism are significant forces shaping women's collective behavior. Their activism resonates with the pre-Soviet liberation struggle while it is shaped also by practices from the recent Soviet past. It also is sensitive to external pressures, including the agendas of Western aid and the Ukrainian diaspora. This study accepts the emergence of non-state women's organizations as indicative of an incipient movement and examines this field of social activism in Cherkasy, a largely rural province of central Ukraine. The inquiry proceeds from the heterogeneity of women's responses to Ukraine's post-Soviet transition, and from the premise that their various life experiences bear on their engagement in activism and choice of organizational commitment. The analysis probes issues of differential recruitment, personal presentations of self as <i>activist </i>, and ideological motivation for participation in projects often melding feminist, nationalist, and/or socialist goals. The spectrum of activism mirrors Ukraine's post-Soviet nation building crisis, and includes both conservative and transformational aspects. An optimistic trend is discerned in the practices of self-directed activist groups seeking affiliation with independent national women's federations and working outside of the para-statal structure that is heir to the Soviet women's councils. Personal narratives of activism reflect positions on gender and nation and suggest a Ukrainian feminist standpoint that is simultaneously supportive of both women's parity and post-Soviet national integrity.

▼ Religion
This dissertation examines a series of interchurch consultations that took place between 1999 and 2009 with the participation of the Evangelical Church in Germany, the Roman Catholic German Bishops' Conference and the Serbian Orthodox Church. The Protestant-Catholic-Orthodox ecumenical encounters began in the immediate aftermath of the Kosovo crisis, and aimed to support Serbia's democratization and European integration. At a total of nine meetings, delegates from the participating churches, together with politicians, representatives of non-governmental organizations, and scholars from various fields, discussed the role of churches and religion in the two countries. The meetings provided a forum for exchanging knowledge and addressing the challenges confronting the churches and their social organizations. Through lectures, discussions, and meetings in working groups, the consultations focused on theological, legal, political, and social topics, such as church and state relations in Serbia, the role of churches in secularized society, Serbia's relationship to the rest of Europe, reconciliation, and the healing of memories. Focusing on the content and the outcomes of the consultations, the author places them into the broader ecumenical, social and political context in which they took place. All available texts from the consultations are studied through the lens of critical discourse analysis. In addition, in-depth qualitative interviews are conducted with key initiators, organizers and participants of the consultations from the three primary participating churches. The dissertation also interacts with the existing theoretical framework for ecumenical and interreligious dialogue, theories of secularization and the sociology of religion in Europe, as well as nationalism and memory studies. The Serbian-German consultations represent a unique, hybrid form of interchurch contact. The author argues that existing theories of ecumenical and interreligious dialogue should be reconsidered to include such meetings, which represent a broadened understanding of dialogue focused on both theoretical and practical aspects of life. Furthermore, the consultations may serve as a potential blueprint for similar future encounters in post-conflict societies and in countries undergoing political transition.

▼ The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 has brought
the problem of Russian organized crime to the fore of public
opinion, political discourse and international media
representation. The comparative strength of the Soviet State, with
its official low crime rates and general social order, presents a
puzzle to researchers studying criminality during the transitional
period.Comparatively, the former satellite nations of the Soviet
Union have experienced fewer difficulties with organized crime than
in the Russian Federation. Although organized crime played a
greater role in the administration of black markets in the
satellite nations in comparison to the Soviet Union, one would
expect countries such as Poland to have a much greater propensity
for the expansion of organized crime during the transitional
period.The transition to a market economy was achieved with
differing degrees of success in Russia and Poland; whereas in
Poland, firms have had incentives to join the official economy
through the benefits of state institutions protecting property
rights, in Russia, predatory regulation has forced firms into the
“shadow” economy. Unofficial firms have no recourse to official
institutions such as legal arbitration and dispute resolution, and
the need for protection from thousands of officially recognized
organized gangs has created a demand for protection met by
racketeers.This thesis researches the links between transitional
state power, excessive bureaucratic regulation, and the growth of
organized crime. Its primary focus is the expansion of organized
criminal activity in the Russian Federation, but utilizes
cross-country comparisons to compare and contrast differences and
similarities of organized groups across an international spectrum
of case
studies and cross-country comparisons.Three main case
studies (Russia, Sicily and the United States) will compare the
growth of criminal gangs in national contexts, with one case study
presented as an anomaly (Japan).Although many reasons contribute in
an interrelated manner to the growth of organized crime, this
thesis focuses upon aspects of state regulation and regime
transition as catalysts underlying the growth of criminal
gangs.

▼ The Apocalypse of Abraham, a pseudepigraphon only extant in a fourteenth century Old Church Slavonic manuscript, has not received much attention from scholars of Ancient Judaism, due in part to a lack of readily available information regarding the history and transmission of the Slavonic Pseudepigrapha. This dissertation examines the historical context of these works with the aim of assessing the probability that they contain ancient Jewish material. The rest of the dissertation is focused on the Apocalypse of Abraham specifically, discussing its date and provenance, original language, probability that it comes from Essene circles, textual unity, and Christian interpolations. This includes treatments of the issue of free will, determinism, and predestination in the Apocalypse of Abraham as well as the methodological complexities in trying to distinguish between early Jewish and Christian works. It also provides an in-depth comparison of the Apocalypse of Abraham with 4 Ezra and 2 Baruch and takes up the question of the social setting for these texts based on relevant precedents set by recent scholars of midrash who seek to probe the “socio-cultural and historical situatedness” of midrashic texts. This discussion includes a survey of parallels between the content of the Apocalypse of Abraham and rabbinic literature to support the argument that a sharp distinction between apocalyptic ideas and what later became rabbinic tradition did not exist in the time between 70 and 135 C.E. Overall, this dissertation argues that the Apocalypse of Abraham is an early Jewish document written during the decades following the destruction of the Second Temple. While seeking to warn its readers of the dangers of idolatry in light of the apocalyptic judgment still to come, it also provides sustained exegesis of Genesis 15, which gives cohesion to the entire document.

▼ This dissertation aims to illuminate the late works of Varlam Shalamov, a Russian writer most famous for his six prose cycles of Kolyma Tales based on his experiences in the Gulag. While previous scholarship has focused mainly on the earlier cycles, I explore the aesthetic and ethical shift that takes place in his later texts. Drawing on theories of late style in art by Theodor Adorno, Edward Said, and Joseph Straus, I detect the breaking point in Shalamov’s trajectory as a writer in his 1965 literary manifesto “On Prose” and argue for a distinct difference in the works he wrote after it. I attribute this difference to his struggle with, and often against, the moral and formal demands of Russian literature and the constraints of Soviet censorship, as well as to his personal circumstances (internal) exile and disability (deafness). My analysis of Shalamov’s late style centers on the tension between the imperative for a Gulag survivor to bear witness and the need for a professional writer to claim authenticity and maintain creativity. The dissertation offers new insights into Shalamov’s sense of what it meant to be a writer in his contemporary context and explores the problematic encounter staged in his works between Russian literary tradition and the complexities of narrating the Gulag experience.Chapter I deals with Shalamov’s literary manifesto, which articulates his writing as a ‘new prose’ for Russian literature. I treat “On Prose” as a manifesto and examine Shalamov’s motives for writing it. Although rooted in a legitimization project, this manifesto serves not so much as the making of a literary theory as it is the unraveling of a literary practice from within. As one of its consequences, I formulate the notion of a transitory hero encompassing both the first person narrator of a text and the historical person ‘Varlam Tikhonovich Shalamov’ and detect within this concept a collision between the writer and the witness.Chapter II analyzes The Revival of the Larch, the fifth cycle of Kolyma Tales. I argue that this cycle, which is usually considered an aesthetic masterpiece, already contains a foretaste of the difficult and ultimately unreconciled late style that haunts Shalamov’s later prose. Several of the short stories become closer in form to testimony by imitating authenticity – I focus on “The Life of Engineer Kipreev” and “The Golden Medal” – yet the voice that emerges in them is no longer solely that of a witness – but also of a writer.Chapter III investigates Shalamov’s longer autobiographical works The Fourth Vologda (about his childhood) and the antinovel Vishera (about his first incarceration in the Northern Urals). Both works appear shaped by literary conventions, as narratives of childhood and youth. However, they are permeated by an omnipresent challenge to traditional notions of form and content. Although set in the past, they are products of a period of literary experimentation in search of a new mode of expression – subjective, intimate, and emotional – the essential task of Shalamov’s late…

▼ Interdisciplinary war trauma research suggests wars involving ethnic cleansing have debilitating and serious impacts on the physical and mental health of survivors. There has been a lack of focus on female-specific victimization, although female-driven cultural practices are altered as a result of traumatization. The South Slavic female survivors of the Balkan War partake in extensive cultural practices that have been shaped by their experiences of trauma. The current study used a qualitative approach to understand how women's traumatic experiences are manifested in and ameliorated by their oral memory traditions, or the cultural practice of sharing transgenerational information. Specifically, data from psychosomatic clinical sessions spanning a ten-year period were analyzed to identify how the somatic practice of the Kolo, or the round dance or sharing of information in a circle, has provided the women an outlet for their cultural expression and healing. Results are discussed in terms of psychosomatic themes that help us understand the effects of trauma.

▼ The study analyzes how the socialist bloc film industry integrated Cuba in socialist internationalism, and how Cuba benefited from and resisted that integration. I argue that negotiating two competing narratives – socialist internationalism (solidarity) and the Cuban anti-neocolonialism (sovereignty) – affected this cultural exchange. Cubans enjoyed the material benefits of socialist solidarity, but strongly resisted when it threatened their decision-making. As a result of this, Cuba downplayed the importance of the socialist bloc aid for its film industry, even though the socialist bloc contributed significantly to its development.The socialist bloc also played a role in the formation of the cinematic narrative of the Cuban Revolution through films that represented the “new” Cuba. Filmmakers attempted to integrate Cuba in the narrative of socialist internationalism, capitalizing on shared enemies like imperialism and the bourgeoisie, although these enemies and conflicts did not have the same significance for all parties.The study reconstructs a cultural history of collaboration between Cuba, Czechoslovakia, the GDR, and the USSR in the 1960s, using three co-productions as case studies: the Soviet Soy Cuba (Kalatozov, 1964), the Czechoslovak Para qui�n baila La Habana (Čech, 1962) and the East German Preludio 11 (Maetzig, 1964). I explore understudied and unpublished primary sources from archives in the Czech Republic and Germany, regarding the films’ conception, production, and reception. I also study film press reviews to assess the films’ historical value and add oral histories to cover the gaps in archival documentation.I conclude that distinct visions of socialist internationalism informed the three countries’ relationships with Cuba. While all three countries contributed material support and training, and their documentaries were praised in Cuba for reflecting the ideals that Cuban leaders wanted to broadcast, the three co-productions were rejected for not fulfilling the Cuban people’s expectations. Cubans were wary of the political ambiguities the films had introduced, worried that they might destabilize the official narrative of the Cuban Revolution. My dissertation reveals that although the films were dismissed for their Eurocentric gaze and lack of authenticity, they demonstrate the filmmakers’ capacity to understand the Cuban Revolution and connections it had with their own socialist reality.

▼ This dissertation’s objective was to examine architectural and urban planning theories and practices of post World War II Warsaw within the context of larger twentieth century history, and in so doing, oppose those established interpretations, which have labeled the commencement of the post war, Communist directed rebuilding process as a profound break in Warsaw’s architectural and urban planning history. Warsaw’s 1945 devastated condition, and soon to follow radical politicoeconomic system, had leant itself to a reading of the city’s twentieth century history in terms of discontinuity. In contrast, I broadened the scope of inquiry to encompass the periods between the two world wars, as well as the years of the Second World War, in effort to explore historical continuities within the fields of architecture and urbanism and revisit the post World War II rebuilding campaign’s efforts at reaffirming Warsaw’s function as capital, a notion at the core of local architectural and urban planning activities since Poland achieved the status of independent nation-state in 1918. I treated the rebuilding campaign of the late 1940s and early 1950s as an effort to not only combat the devastation caused by the recent war, but also to further undo the perceived damage wrought by the laissez faire development dated to the prolonged era of partition by neighboring states, a preoccupation of the interwar urban planners. By organizing the content into three diachronic chapters, I strove to demonstrate the creative ideas and political pressures brought to bear on the projection and realization of Warsaw as capital city through its master plan proposals, and architectural and urban projects. The historic bookends of 1916 and 1956, correspond to two master plans, both significant milestones in Warsaw’s growth. For the years between, this project traces various additional master plans proposed for Warsaw, to be considered as units within a single continuous planning process. Architectural production is discussed in terms of preservation, reconstruction, and new construction through which Warsaw-based practitioners addressed local issues while responding to international developments within their respective fields.
