Description:

I. Helfant, Staff This seminar examines the works of one or more Russian writers or filmmakers, or areas of popular culture, with attention paid both to textual analysis and to the larger socio-historical context. A background in Russian literature and history is assumed. The course focuses upon reading, writing, and discussion in order to further develop students' abilities to express themselves at an advanced and abstract level in Russian and their appreciation of stylistic variation in the Russian language. The course also covers the theory and practice of translating from Russian to English, as well as conducting research using Russian sources. The seminar culminates in a final project in which each student translates, contextualizes, and presents to the class a previously untranslated document of his or her choice. Prerequisite: offered to senior majors and minors in Russian and to other qualified students with permission of instructor.
