Superape Principle: Modification of Temporal and Anthropological Foundations
Juxtaposition of fictional images in Edgar Burroughs’ Tarzan of the Apes and William Burroughs’ The Naked Lunch opens a way to articulate the “superape principle,” some kind of a structural antipode to Friedrich Nietzsche’s “superhuman.” The following analysis of The Naked Lunch demonstrates how this principle affects modern society, modifying implicitly its temporal and anthropological foundations. The exploration of this problem includes the an…

The Isaianic Denkschrift and a Socio-Cultural Crisis in Yehud: A Rereading of Isaiah 6:1-9:6[7]
The foundational question that provided an entry point for the present work was whether Isaiah 6:1-9:6 is, minor exceptions notwithstanding, an inherently integral, single-layer text. Some influential exegetes of the early twentieth century maintained that such indeed was the case, while their later colleagues generally discarded that view. Based on a fresh reading of the material, the present author asserts that the continuity within it extends …

Designing a Russian Fairy Tales Course
By 1996 the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures at the University of Pittsburgh, like many other Slavic departments in the country, had experienced a significant decline in both the number of Russian language majors and overall enrollments in our language classes. On the other hand, in addition to Russian and other Slavic languages, our Department had a long history of teaching Russian literature and Russian culture in English, and the…
Revisioning Aleksandrov's Circus: Seventy Years of the Great Family
This introduction provides both a cultural context and a conceptual framework for the following articles on Grigorii Aleksandrov's Circus (Tsirk 1936) by Beth Holmgren and Rimgaila Salys.While delineating some basic background, the introduction will occasionally confront several polemical questions related to the place of Stalinist film in international cinema as well as in the Stalinist myth-making industry.The authors chose for their discussion…

Cinema of Attractions versus Narrative Cinema: Leonid Gaidai's Comedies and El'dar Riazanov's Satires of the 1960s
Leonid Gaidai's comedies of the 1960s owed their phenomenal success to Gaidai's visual style of humor, which starkly contrasted to verbal instantiations of official Soviet ideology within narrative-driven Soviet cinema. An attentive comparison between Gaidai's comedies and the satirical films of El'dar Riazanov accounts for the outstanding popularity of the former and the more modest success of the latter. What makes Gaidai unique is his interest…
