Learning outcomes

This course is a natural prosecution to the course of Russian literature hold in the first year because it focuses on those topics connected with history, culture and arts in the contemporary Russia (XIX and XX centuries).

On successful completion of the module, students must be able to:

1) know the main events of Russian history and to understand the essential elements of modern Russian culture, focusing on 20th century;
2) apply the acquired knowledge in analysing the texts studied during the course, using the given references;
3) develop a personal opinion concerning the main topics covered in the course and to express them in a coherent and proper form.

Program

“«The Lady and the Hooligan»: the figure of the criminal in the XIX century soviet literature”

Russian culture, especially in the 20th Century, has granted a very particular status to the character of the “outsider”, especially the so-called “Hooligan”. Russian literature, cinema and music has widely exploited this topic, creating meaningful “blatnoy” characters and patterns which are still really popular. The course will focus on the typological and historical-conceptual analysis of some of these “hooligans”: the outcast in the works of S. Esenin and V. Mayakovsky, the jewish smugglers in Babel’s, Il’f & Petrov’s and L. Utyosov’s Odessa, the blatnye heroes in V. Vysocky and V. Shukshin. We shall trace their prototypes back in F. Dostoevsky’s and N. Leskov’s works. During the course, the complex relation between volija and svoboda in Russian culture will be explored and examine.

The first language of the course will be the Italian language, we shall use texts in Russian as well, reading and translating them in class. Only a small part of the provided materials will be in Italian or in English.
