Russian and Eurasian Studies 212s: Russia
4.00 Credits
Mount Holyoke College
(Taught in English; Same as History 212s) This course examines pivotal archetypes of Russian civilization that reflect Russia's past, demarcate its present, and constrict its future. We will focus on the canonic historical monuments of Russia, such as the kremlin of Moscow and the downtown of St. Petersburg. Starting with the representation of these landmarks in the media, we will explore them in depth by reading conflicting historical narratives and cultural histories and eventually deconstruct their cultural message and value. By the end of the course, students will be familiar with the Eastern Orthodox Christianity rites and able to identify and discuss the most common artifacts of Russian civilization.

Russian and Eurasian Studies 213s: Tolstoy'sWar and Peace
4.00 Credits
Mount Holyoke College
(Taught in English) To explain the fundamental conflict in Tolstoy's art, Sir Isaiah Berlin advanced the now famous formula that Tolstoy was a fox (pluralist) struggling to be a hedgehog (monist). Indeed, throughout his life and in his art, Tolstoy sought to shape experience into a single and all-embracing philosophical principle, but he was never able to suppress his extravagant intuition that existence, being contradictory, fragmentary, and ultimately subject to forces beyond human control, defeated attempts at codification. We will readWar and Peace in an attempt to understand how that irresolvable conflict fuels Tolstoy's intellectual pursuits and informs his theories on art. Meets Humanities I-A requirement E.
