Russian stream at the ACLA

[Anne Lounsbery]

Seminar Organizer: Ilya Kliger, NYU; Michael Kunichika, NYU

Hybridity, creolization, polyphony, heteroglossia, double-voicedness: these
terms were an affiliated vocabulary once proposed by MM Bakhtin to
characterize novelistic discourse in its relation to modernity. Originally
conceived in relation to genre, these terms have been extended in their
application to a wider array of cultural and geopolitical formations, quite
frequently in relation to the Russian imperial period and the Soviet Union.
Taking inspiration from these initial suggestions, our stream will explore
the phenomena of temporal hybridization; the constitution of imperial
temporality; ontologies and epistemologies of heterochrony, syncretism, and
nonsynchronicity (Ungleichzeitigkeit); genre theory; cultural borrowing;
literary evolution; the Russophone; and symbolic geography.
