Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The aim of the course is to provide information about the phenomenon of avant-gardism in Eastern Europe (both in Russia and Ukraine – i.e. from 1920 in the Soviet Union). It is intended to provide an insight into the national concerns of the Eastern European avant-garde-movements and their peculiar forms, which were caused by specific historical and political contexts and for the students to achieve competence in this area. The differences and opposite-effects, as well as the mutual influences of the Russian and Ukrainian the avant-garde art, are to be analyzed. Much attention will be paid to the contacts with avant-garde movements and groups in Western Europe. Also, the deficits of the corresponding definitions for the peculiar cultural phenomena that arose in a political space (that of the Tsar monarchy, later the Soviet Union) are to be covered in the course of the seminar. The focus is on comparative approaches: such disciplines as Comparative Literature, Theatre Studies, Cultural Studies, and History. The interaction between avant-garde poetry, painting, stage art and film from the period 1910-1937 will be discussed. Linguistic and semiotic questions of the avant-garde culture (Roman Jakobson and Yuri Lotman) and the application of some philosophical approaches (Derrida's deconstruction) will also be reflected. The concept of Cultural Transfer by Michel Espagne and the approaches of Translational Turn (translation from and between cultures) are relevant for the course. The selected texts will be analyzed in German translations from Russian and Ukrainian.
