Learning outcomes
|
The study of Russian culture, Russian history and ethnic minorities in the Russian Federation (or the Soviet Union or the Russian Empire) from both Western and Eastern European perspectives very often bears colonial traces. This can be seen, for example, in the interpretation and appropriation of the achievements of artists, writers or composers who, although active in Russia, were themselves from the 'periphery' or from other ethnic groups. The aim of this course is to show different approaches to decolonization processes that can be applied particularly to the history of Russian culture in the 20th and 21st century. The seminar will show approaches and examples from the UK, France, but also Poland, Ukraine and especially Russia. The course is suitable for students of Russian studies as well as for students of other disciplines (history, political science, etc.). The course will be taught in English.
Basic knowledge of the topic, key concepts of decolonization, post-imperial discourse, authors and their works, and relevant themes, expanding the factual background.
