Learning outcomes

This course is a natural prosecution to the course of Russian culture and literature 1 hold in the first year, as it focuses on those topics connected with history, culture and arts in contemporary Russia (XIX and XX centuries). The aim is to provide the students with those basic cultural coordinates that will allow them to know, understand and interpret contemporary Russia, its history and society. At the end of the course, students must be able to identify the fundamental mechanisms of the Russian history and culture of the last two centuries, they will be able to compare them to other cultural situations, and to evaluate historical, artistic and cultural circumstances by their own judgement.

Program

«BETWEEN THAWS AND STAGNATIONS – THE ALTERNATIVE CULTURE AND LITERATURE IN RUSSIA FROM THE FIFTIES UNTIL NOW»

The course concerns the period from the death of Stalin (1953) up to nowadays Russia, getting through the historical phases called thaw, stagnation, perestroika in the USSR and the recent ones in Russia (the birth the Russian Federation, the post-soviet Yeltsin reforms, Putin’s rise to power, the rehash of national values and the new structure of the country). The course focuses the attention on those cultural phenomena and those forms of artistic expression (i.e. literature, music, film) that were alternative and critical towards the Soviet, and then Russian, power and society.
Among the main topics we have: the 1917 revolution and the Soviet Union as an original model for an alternative political, economical and cultural system; literature and film during the Khrushchev thaw; the bard song in the Sixties and Seventies; the soviet rock in the Eighties; dissidents and other critical positions about politics; the "Sots-art"; the post-modernism and the post-soviet crisis; heroes and anti-heroes of the contemporary Russian culture.
