From Top-Down Control to Self-Organisation
The period from the late 1950s to the mid-1960s in the Soviet Union was known as the “Thaw,” a political era that fostered hopes of restoring the rule of law and democracy to the country. In that period cybernetics came to symbolize both scientific progress and social change. The Soviet intelligentsia had survived the hardship of Stalinist repression and now regarded the new discipline, which brought together the natural sciences and the human sc…
Possessed With Dance
In 1910 in Russia, two ideas were simultaneously conceived and developed: one of the «Rite of Spring» and the other, less known, of the ballet, «Alaley and Leyla». The former was staged in Sergey Diaghilev’s enterprise in Paris, 1913, whereas the idea for the latter came from the theatre director, Vsevolod Meyerhold, supported by the director of the Imperial theatres in Petersburg and a wealthy patron, Mikhail Tereshchenko. The scripts for both b…
Movement Culture as an Epistemic Object
Costume as Truth and as a New Mythology
Clothes can cover, hide and clothe, but they can also denude, unveil and demonstrate. This is especially true of clothes created in protest, in negation of something—that is, of alternative fashion. A nearly global phenomenon, alternative fashion is closely connected with radical social groups and practices, including artistic ones. By opposing the establishment and declaring its conventions and rules false, alternative fashion has an ambition to…
Desire vs Biopower
The article deals with the dance revolution of the twentieth century - the emergence of "new dance” in which desire is produced, and not simply represented. Contemporary dance places the emphasis on spontaneity, the autonomous functioning of the body, and improvisation. There are at least two basic conceptions of desire in philosophy: the first is mimetic desire of the other (longing for a recognition from the other) and bodily desire (which corr…
National Models of Physical Education and the Sokol Gymnastics in Russia
The article examines the issue of national models in physical education, which stands in an apparent opposition to the globalizing tendency in sport. It also describes the place of pre-Revolutionary Russia on the world map of physical education. The emergence of nation-states in Europe in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries was marked by the creation of national models of paramilitary and/or physical training, including the German Turnen, the…
Futurist in Physiology
The paper is dedicated to the 120th birthday of Nikolai Aleksandrovich Bernstein (1896—1966), a prominent Russian physiologist who contributed also to other fields of knowledge, for instance, cognitive sciences and modeling of biological systems. This study is based on the analysis of various publications and archive materials, including interviews with Bernstein’s disciples conducted by the author in the late 1980s. The paper outlines the ideas …
Dance- plyaska in Russia of the Silver Age
The present paper focuses on the semantic and cultural meaning of plyaska as a distinct and influential phenomenon of the Silver Age. In particular, the cult of dance-plyaska was responsible for both the welcome accorded to Isadora Duncan in Russia and the proliferation of groups, studios and theatres of free dance in Russia in the first decades of the twentieth century. The article will trace the rise and fall of the utopia of plyaska into the e…
The Ubiquitous Reflex and Its Critics in Post‐Revolutionary Russia
Der allgegenwärtige Reflex und seine Kritiker im Post‐Revolutionären Russland. Im letzten Jahrhundert war der Reflex mehr als ein wissenschaftlicher Begriff: er war ein kulturelles Idiom, das mit verschiedenen Zielsetzungen genutzt werden konnte – politisch, wissenschaftlich und künstlerisch. In dem Aufsatz entwickle ich die These, dass der Reflex im Russland der 1920er Jahre zu einer allgegenwärtigen Idee und einem geläufigen Wort wurde, zu eine…
Diagnosing Literary Genius
Contents: Preface On Transliteration and Spelling Introduction 1 Gogol, Moralists, and Nineteenth-Century Psychiatry 2 Dostoevsky: From Epilepsy to Progeneration 3 Tolstoy and the Beginning of Psychotherapy in Russia 4 Decadents, Revolutionaries, and the Nation's Mental Health 5 The Institute of Genius: Psychiatry in the Early Soviet Years Notes Bibliography Index
A family discussion
The article deals with the argument about free will and determinism between A. I. Herzen (1812—70) and his son, the physiologist A. A. Herzen (1839—1906). The topic, sufficiently familiar to Herzen scholars, interests me above all for its relevance to the history of science. The polemics between father and son touched upon such burning questions of the day as materialism in understanding human beings, positivism as scientific methodology, and the…
