RUSS 446 - Senior Seminar. Contemporary Russophone Poetry: Art and Activism

FC ARHU CD WADV
4 credits
This course will focus on contemporary poets from Russia, Ukraine, and beyond who write in Russian and work at the intersections of art and activism. We will listen to them reading and talking about their poems, and we will grapple with the questions they grapple with: What is poetry? What can poetry offer us right now? How and when is poetry political, and what does it mean to write poetry that is political?  No prior knowledge of or interest in poetry is required or assumed! Opportunities to co-create the syllabus. In Russian.
Prerequisites & Notes: RUSS 306 or 411, concurrent enrollment in 306, or consent of the instructor. Note: May be repeated for credit.
