HIST 124 - St Petersburg:Russ Cult

Institution:

Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

Since its founding in 1703 as Russia's "window on Europe," St. Petersburg has been a lightning rod for the defining issues in Russian culture. For some, the "Venice of the North," with its stately columned buildings overlooking canals and waterways, symbolized utopian progress; for others, it stood for tyranny, domination and subjugation. Our exploration of St. Petersburg will lead us through these questions and others, including male-female relations, the socialist experiment, and the relationship of architecture to ideology. Lecture-discussion format; assignments will be drawn from literature, history, essays, and film. 1.00 units, Lecture
