Borrowings from the Old Slavic Digenis Akritis in the Muscovite Buovo d’Antona (Bova Korolevich)
The Byzantine Greek “romantic epic” Digenis Akritis and the Venetian romance Buovo d’Antona , translated into different Slavic languages under different circumstances and traversing Slavic space by different routes, reached Muscovy in the sixteenth century – each undergoing significant editing there and ultimately becoming textually entangled. It has not been noticed before that the editor of a Muscovite redaction of Buovo borrowed a number of pa…
Intellectual Silence” and Intellectual Endeavor in Medieval Slavia Orthodoxa
This survey of intellectual endeavor in medieval Slavia orthodoxa proposes a different way to think through the problem of the “intellectual silence of Old Rus′,” first set forth by Georges Florovsky and explored by George Fedotov, Francis Thomson, Simon Franklin, and now Donald Ostrowski. It examines the resources and opportunities for secondary schooling and their apparent outcomes in Kyivan Rus′ from the eleventh through the thirteenth century…

Harkusha the Noble Bandit and the "Minority" of Little Russian Literature
From the 1820s to the 1840s, there appeared a number of texts by such writers as Vasilii Narezhnyi, Orest Somov, and Hryhorii Kvitka-Osnov'ianenko that tell tales of Semen Harkusha, a figure straight out of Eric Hobsbawm's Bandits who terrorized the rich and powerful in eighteenth-century Ukraine. Written in Russian, Ukrainian, or in an idiom that oscillates between the two, this corpus of texts articulates the obverse, darker side of what the au…
Confronting Ukrainian Modernism
Back to “Gogol'’s Retreat from Love”
Gogol'’s “Viĭ” offers readers a “clinic” on Lacanian perversion, taking them through key psychoanalytic agencies—letter, mother, father, phallus, voice, and gaze—in their perverse modalities. Rather than seeking a definitive “identity” for “Viĭ” (as have earlier analyses), this study proposes that “Viĭ” is a condensed bundle of manifest and latent signifiers—that is, what psychoanalysis calls the symptom. Indeed, the best “etymology” of “Viĭ,” fa…
Byzantine Hermeneutics and Pedagogy in the Russian North
The first micro-historical 'ethnology of reading' in the Early Slavic field, Byzantine Hermeneutics and Pedagogy in the Russian North will prove fascinating to western medievalists, Byzantinists, Slavists, and book historians.

Ukraine in Blackface
In this article, Roman Koropeckyj and Robert Romanchuk present a Lacanian reading of the preface and "The Fair at Sorochintsy" from Nikolai Gogol'sEvenings on a Farm near Dikan'ka, vol. 1 (1831), viewed through the prism of American blackface minstrelsy. They trace representations of ethnicity and class in Gogol''s "performance" of Ukraine. Their analysis of the preface demonstrates how Pan'ko's Ukraine reaches a Russian lowerclass audience throu…
