In 1890, Leo Tolstoy posed the question: “Why do people wish to stupefy themselves?” In this class, we will examine three of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries’ favorite methods of stupefaction – sex, drugs, and rock music – and their function in modern Russian culture. We will look at works by authors such as Tolstoy, Vladimir Mayakovsky, Evgeny Zamyatin, and the rock group Kino, including poetry, prose, film, and music. Enrollment Limit: 25. Instructor: S. Stefani
