This course is an interdisciplinary survey course that does not require any knowledge of Russian. Students will learn about Russian culture, make comparisons between this culture and their own, and establish connections with other disciplines such as history, sociology, film studies, and literature. We will study both products and practices of Russian culture, participating in groupactivities to analyze a broad range of texts including those representative of high culture (e.g., literature and film) and low culture (e.g., television commercials or expectations of riding in the subway in Moscow). Ultimately, students will gain a nuanced understanding of the social practices and expectations of Russians in their own native speech community and will develop and practice critical thinking skills in analyzing stereotypical ideas of Russia, Russians, and Russian culture. Students will demonstrate a sophisticated understanding of Russia as a complex society with a turbulent history and a future fraught with both potential and challenge. Students with Russian-language expertise may opt to take the course for LAC credit with readings and papers in Russian.
