Lenin as an Object of Formalist Discourse: The Limits of the Literary and the Boundaries of Discipline
The analysis of Lenin’s language and rhetoric undertaken by the leading representatives of Russian Formalism in the pages of the journal LEF in early 1924 represents more than a tactical attempt to align Formalism with the mainstream of Bolshevik culture‐building in the context of the Soviet 1920s. The contributions of Viktor Shklovsky, Boris Eikhenbaum, and Iurii Tynianov, in particular, to the volume are not only consistent with the evolution o…
Lenin and Utopia
The demise of the Soviet Union has for the past twenty-five years stood as effective "proof" of the error of utopia. This article returns to an ambivalent source of Soviet utopianism, Lenin's State and Revolution (1917), in order to show how the contradictions inherent in the theory of the state developed there programs no less than the dialectical transformation of Lenin's principled anti-utopianism into a particular form of utopia. This prepare…
The Dialectics of Parody
Iurii Tynianov's characterization of the relationship between Fyodor Dostoevsky and Nikolai Gogol as parodic, which he later develops into a broader concern with the mechanics of literary evolution, also provokes a concern with the specifically dialectical nature of the change of historical forms. Rather than viewing this interest in dialectics as a tactically convenient phase in the accommodation of Formalism to the ideological requirements of t…
Towards a refined chronology for the Bronze Age of the southern Urals, Russia
Cultural interactions in central Russia are famously complex, but of very wide significance. Within the social changes they imply are contained key matters for Europe and Asia: the introduction of Indo-Europeans and other languages, the horse and the chariot, and the transition towards nomadism. Of crucial importance to future research is a sturdy chronological framework and in this contribution the authors offer 40 new radiocarbon dates spanning…
