The Tékhnē of Surgical Body Transformations and Fedorov’s Futurity in Aleksandr Beliaev’s Science Fiction, 1920s
The first two decades of the twentieth century saw an unprecedented surge in scientific and technological experiments directed at the physical transformation of the human body. In Bolshevik Russia of the 1920s, science fiction and scientific and technological experiments created a nexus. The science fiction of Aleksandr Beliaev (1884–1942) turned experiments into adventure plots. Beliaev’s views on scientific experiments were informed not only by…
Forum 62
Studies of more-than-human sociality in general, and multispecies ethnography in particular, are becoming an increasingly popular trend in global (social, human, and transdisciplinary) scholarship. In the current forum, researchers from various disciplines discuss the advantages, limitations, and challenges of this trend. They also share their thoughts on why multispecies research has (or has not) an appeal in Russian academia and what the future…
Physical and Metaphysical Visualities
In Russian modernism, the work of writer Vasily Rozanov (1856–1919) presents an understudied case of constructing a worldview based on the study of the parallel history of human physicality and artefacts, which he articulated within the framework of the physical and metaphysical. I argue that Rozanov widened the domain of what was viewed as “compelling visuality” at his time, in line with the subjective synthesising principles of his worldview. H…
An Appeal for a Creaturely Attitude to Animals in Vasily Rozanov’s Writing
The work of Vasily Rozanov offers a relevant case study of our changing relation to natural-cultural contact zones with animals. Rozanov used a comparative approach to human-animal connections to change the societal attitude to the physical body and erase boundaries between human and animal corporeality. I focus on his narratives that promote a creaturely attitude to animals in the context of societal problems. The issues he addresses have specia…
Synthesizing Religions
Vasily Rozanov was one of the first Russian writers of the fin de siècle to create a nexus between the study of the history of world religions and the history of sexuality. He viewed Christianity's asceticism as a source of the disintegration of the contemporary family. This article examines Rozanov's strategy to synthesize religions and to use pre-Christian religions of the Middle East as proof of common physical and metaphysical essence in cele…

We are all souls”
Examining the notion of “dog-men” in Coetzee’s Disgrace and Tyulkin’s documentary Not about Dogs, I argue that when the main characters become dog-men and dog-women they share with dogs the status of subaltern border-creatures. I view the spaces in the Eastern Cape and eastern Kazakhstan as borderlands which parallel the mythic lands of Dog-men from White’s anthropological study Myths of the Dog-man. These spaces of human-dog interactions, in tur…

Smell and memory as Jewish archives
The paper analyses the complex dynamics of the rejection of ‘Jewish smells’ as markers of Jewish corporeality in the context of stereotypes constructed by Russian culture. It addresses the conflicting desire to cherish and yet reject the smells of childhood as an important repository of memory in autobiographical prose by Russian Jewish writers. It theorizes the notion of smell as a Jewish archive in the context of inter-generational knowledge, d…
Fantasy Places and Fantasy Bodies
We are willing to accept a Spaniard with the name Jaime [pronounced Haim in Russian], but grimace when pronouncing the word Haim. V. Ze'ev Jabotinsky, 1903 In his definition of Orientalism Edward Said explains how 'textual attitudes' informed and influenced European travel narratives, specifically those descriptions of the sexed body of the ethnic Other. This essay demonstrates how such 'textual attitudes' borrowed from the dominant culture infor…

Bakhtin's “carnivalesque” and Bosman's Cold Stone Jug
This paper applies Bakhtin's views on the carnival world‐view as a problem of the poetics of genre to Bosman's Cold Stone Jug. The book's combination of the serious and the comic testifies not to the author's “idiosyncrasy”, but to his adherence to a well established European cultural tradition
