New Russian Modernist Studies
New Russian Modernist Studies Edward Waysband Leonid Livak, In Search of Russian Modernism. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 2018. ix + 375 pp. Irina Shevelenko, ed. Reframing Russian Modernism. Madison: The University of Wisconsin Press, 2018. xii + 259 pp. Leonid Livak’s and Irina Shevelenko’s books reflect a growing interest in, and need for, new theoretical reassessments of Russian modernism and its post-Soviet theorizations made po…
The Poetics of Shock
With its central image of the old masturbator in the Berlin "underground" restroom, Khodasevich's poem "Under the Ground" (1923) both shocked and fascinated its readers. Khodasevich's intervention into two taboo themes in turn-of-the-century European culture-masturbation and public restrooms-is primarily self-reflexive, indicating his anxieties about the ambiguous place and status of a modernist poet and exploring the norms of poetic representati…
L’époque est prophétique
L’époque est prophétique : la Bible dans la poésie de la Révolution. Les images de la mythologie gréco-latine sont les éléments traditionnels de la littérature moderniste russe.

Le processus d’archaïsation instantanée est co…

Edward Waysband, BETWEEN ESSENTIALISM AND CONSTRUCTIVISM: MAKSIM GOR'KII AND VLADISLAV KHODASEVICH ON RUSSIAN NEO-PEASANT POETRY, The Slavic and East European Journal, Vol. 62, No. 4 (WINTER 2018), pp. 663-684
Vladislav Khodasevich's "on Your New, Joyous Path" (1914–1915)
This paper contextualizes Khodasevich’s unfinished poem “On Your New, Joyous Path” (1914–1915) as his poetic response to his precarious Russian-Polish-Jewish self-awareness as well as to contemporary Polish-Jewish tensions. I argue that for both predicaments, Khodasevich proposes an identical solution: the redemptive assimilation into Russian imperial, supranational culture. This vision crystallized during World War I. At that time, the key dicho…
