CMLT 294 - A Culture of Dissent: Russian Radicalism in Historical Perspective

Type of Course: Seminar
Explores Russia’s rich tradition of political and social dissent, focusing not only on the causes and consequences of radical behavior but on the cultural implications of radical ideas and their impact on Russian fiction and philosophy. Considers the ways in which Russian radicalism informed the development of anti-government conspiracies, political movements and ideologies, inspired changes in the understanding of human relationships, transformed conventional modes of personal behavior, and shaped the development of artistic expression.
