  • Community and Its Plastic Embodiments

    Open AccessHelen Petrovsky, Helen V PetrovskyARTICLEActual Problems of Theory and…2022

    Каким образом практика современного искусства заставляет нас пересмотреть установки и принципы классической эстетики? Этот вопрос разбирается в статье на конкретном материале: в качестве примера берётся скульптура Вадима Сидура, самобытного советского художника. На основании проведённого анализа формулируется представление о социальном знаке, или знаке-иероглифе, который вытекает из самих художественных практик, давая понять, в какую сторону може…

  • The photogeny of revolution

    Open AccessHelen PetrovskyARTICLEFilosofskii Zhurnal2021

    Drawing on the works of three authors, namely, Jean Epstein, Auguste Villiers de l’Isle-Adam and P.A. Kropotkin, the article attempts to lay the grounds for what might be called a semiotics of forces. Jean Epstein, a filmmaker and theorist of the new art form, is the au­thor of an original concept of photogénie where cinema is presented as an instru­ment re­vealing the transformations of matter itself. Erupting Etna stands for the trans­formation…

  • Revolution without Revolution (On the Events in France)

    Helen PetrovskyARTICLESouth Atlantic Quarterly2020Cited by: 1References: 1

    Petrovsky's article examines the famous events of May '68 in France from a specific angle offered by Michel de Certeau, namely, the "taking of speech" (la prise de parole). For de Certeau the taking of speech is no less important than the taking of the Bastille-it asserts the individual's right to resistance and is a necessary precondition of all the other human rights. However, where de Certeau speaks against the anonymizing forces at work in co…

    Helen PetrovskyARTICLEPhilosophy of Photography2013

    In turning to photography the paper explores ways of conveying historical truth. It seems that contemporary art places itself at the very limit of representation in an attempt to remain faithful to historical eventuality. In fact, one is reminded of the type of historical occurrence which can be grasped only through 'as-if presentations', to remember the Kantian term. 'Fiction', therefore, is no longer opposed to 'truth', but becomes its conducto…

  • The Anonymous Community

    Open AccessHelen PetrovskyARTICLEDiogenes2009References: 1

    The paper explores the non-institutional potential of the concept of community as it has been formulated in contemporary French philosophy. Special attention is given to historical experience, particularly in a globalizing world. Fantasies of the historical which attest to such experience are treated as constitutive of an anonymous community defined neither by a fixed identity nor by a given substance. Despite its anonymity, community calls for a…

  • The Path to Gertrude Stein in Contemporary Post-Soviet Culture

    Helen PetrovskyARTICLENew Literary History1996

    The Path to Gertrude Stein in Contemporary Post-Soviet Culture Helen Petrovsky (bio) I There are at least two paths leading to Gertrude Stein. One is the physical passage from the apartment to the building where her books are stored and brought to you at your request. The daily route to the library. Should it at all be mentioned? I think it should. Because the route itself has turned into a text, if you like, into a kind of introduction. Without …
