Program

«Oltre la violenza e la privazione di libertà: percorsi nella letteratura russa del Novecento»
Il corso prende le mosse da un approfondimento storico, che ha lo scopo di fornire le categorie necessarie all’interpretazione delle complesse dinamiche socio-culturali che caratterizzano il Novecento russo. Secolo che ha visto devastanti esplosioni di violenza e l’affermazione di poteri totalitari, il Novecento ha disorientato, ispirato, deluso e spesso condannato al silenzio scrittori che, pur vivendone le derive, hanno continuato a creare pagine straordinarie della letteratura russa. Verranno presi in esame alcuni percorsi biografici ed artistici.

V. ROZANOV, Scelta di frammenti da Foglie cadute (Опавшие листья) e L’apocalisse del nostro tempo (Апокалипсис нашего времени)
