Международная конференция

«Голос и литературное воображение»

 25 сентября 2015 года

1-й Гуманитарный корпус МГУ (Воробьевы горы)

13-00, ауд. 1060

В своей книге «A più voci: filosofia dell’espressione vocale» (2003) Адриана Кавареро пишет: «Есть речевая сфера, в которой суверенность языка уступает место суверенности голоса. Разумеется, речь идет о поэзии». Голос служит тем пунктом, в котором сходятся семантические и формально-звуковые (ритм, интонация, темп и т.д.) компоненты текста, из единства которых и возникает собственно художественный эффект. Он обеспечивает, по выражению Ю. Н. Тынянова, «динамическую группировку [текстового] материала», играет роль интегративного начала, порождающего сразу несколько единств: единство автора; супрасегментное единство фраз, ритмических рисунков и инотаций; полифоническое единство действующих лиц; перформативное единство чтения / исполнения. 

Голос увязывает молчаливый «идеальный текст» художественного произведения с его конкретными реализациями, а значит – работает в поле литературного воображения, достраивающего текстовый «остов» до полноты звучания, налаживая перекличку между голосом автора и голосом читателя.

В круг проблематик, которые предлагаются к обсуждению в докладах, входят вопросы использования голоса как литературоведческого и философского инструмента, специфики голоса как феномена, роли звуковых эффектов в восприятии художественного текста, репрезентации голоса в художественной литературе и аудиального воображения.

26 сентября в 14-00 в зале им. Мясковского Московской государственной консерватории в рамках конференции состоялся концерт с исполнением произведений американского академического авангарда (Дж. Крам, Дж. Риз, Дж. Примош). Впервые в России будет исполнено произведение Джорджа Крама “Потусторонние миры» для двух фортепиано с усилением.

XVIII Fulbright International Summer School in the Humanities: Feedback

Michael Holquist 

Professor emeritus, Comparative and Slavic Literature

Yale University

Society of Senior Scholars

Columbia University

Jointly sponsored by the Fulbright Foundation and Moscow State University, a five day Summer School was held in Moscow from June 23rd to June 27th.  I was fortunate enough to be able to participate in the Summer School, organized around the question of how national canons (“classics,” “Great Books”) might be modified into a more international canon, shared by many nations, in a new age of global contact and awareness.  

The work of the school can be summed up in two words:  joyful learning.  The daily experience of the participants in their exchanges with each other dramatized the intellectual issues and the human rewards of international co-mingling of ideas—and persons.   Over the years, I have participated in a number of international undertakings in Asia, Europe, and the Americas.  On that basis, this year’s Fulbright experience in Moscow was the most successful of all such events in my long experience.  The organization of our sessions was superb, yet invisible, permitting us to actively engage intellectually and personally with each other. 

At a time when there is some political dissonance between Russia and the United States, it was heart-warming to experience such warmth and curiosity in a community of Russian and American intellectuals.  We Americans were reminded again of why our word ‘intelligentsia’ is of Russian origin.  The participants from such distinguished American campuses as Harvard, Yale, Washington University, and the University of Pennsylvania, were all impressed by the energy, imagination, and hospitable warmth of their Russian counterparts.  We all learned a lot from each other.

The Moscow summer school was the kind of event that the Fulbright grants were designed to foster—it was the Platonic idea of creative international scholarship.  Such successful events do not just happen, and the enabling role of Professor Venediktova and her staff deserve a special mention for making it all come together.

Two general impressions:

First, I was deeply impressed by the high level of intellectual engagement and commitment shown by your workshop participants. Their questions and observations reinforced the hopes I have that teachers of literature, history, and other areas of the humanities in Russia can continue to play a role in supporting efforts at Russian-US understanding.  At this difficult time in US-Russia relationships, it is particularly important that major purveyors of our national histories and culture go about their work in a professional and reflective way.  In some respects, we are all still stuck with Plato’s vision of how to harness rational thought to rein in the passions, but this takes on new guises in every age, and we have particular challenges now.  In such a context, your workshop sponsored by MGU and Fulbright is an important contribution.

Second, I was delighted to meet several of  your colleagues and students, especially from the younger generation.  I will do my part to help them build bridges with people in the US in the hopes that long term professional t ties between Russian and American scholars can thrive in the decades ahead.

The focus on world literature was inspired. I am not sure I am any more convinced now than I was before doing the readings and participating in the workshop that the category of world literature makes a lot of sense, but the efforts you so brilliantly led to get people from so many backgrounds to work through this idea and see how it affects our various professional activities was inspired.  As I outlined in my presentation, I see evidence that we are all deeply embedded in unconscious habits of thinking and emotion that are major barriers to thinking and working across national boundaries, but we can indeed become much more reflective on these barriers and manage our differences in world views much more effectively than we often do.  This is a very challenging task, and it is one that will require harnessing the best ideas from a range of disciplines that extend well beyond traditional humanities, but it is doable, and efforts such as yours are crucial in this respect.  I continue to see national schematic narrative templates as shaping a great deal of our international dialogues, but by appreciating the depth of unconscious mental life that lies behind our positions, we can start thinking about how best to manage them.  I keep using the term “manage” quite consciously because I think it is a matter of managing differences rather than overcoming or erasing them somehow.

I think that the Fulbright Summer School 2015 has been instructive in many aspects for me both as a teaching assistant in European and American literature of the XIX century and as a scholar at the outset of my academic career. It was a contribution to my general knowledge with Professor Holquist talking about the philosophical evolution behind the comparative language/literature studies and the challenge posed by digital humanities. It was also a reflection upon the institutions and practices of canon formation, as well as an exchange of the experience in reading, teaching and translating ‘great books’ in contemporary Russia, United States and Germany.

What matters much is that a range of contradictions was revealed and actually played out during the sessions – namely, the tensions between close reading, potentially global appeal across times/cultures and reconstructing the historical context.  Is ‘close reading’ the only way to approach the aesthetics of a classical text? Is it a practice peculiar to literary studies (or ‘philology’, using a word more familiar in Russian and German context) and what is at stake if we adapt it to a less specific audience? How can we turn the historical distance separating us from the classical text into a resource that may help us to reflect back upon our own cultural experience?

The practical emphasis and the multiple opportunities for debate were the strongest points of the program. The School had a rich potential, and in order to develop it further I may suggest that there could have been some workshops/seminars as it was during the Summer Schools in transnational humanities (2012) and academic writing (2013). It could have been a workshop in course-building (drafting together a curriculum for an imaginary course in world literature) and/or a seminar that would test different interpretations of a cross-cultural selection of short texts (a brief but illustrative example was suggested by Professor Damrosch).

Фотография в художественном тексте: аналитический практикум

Ведущая – проф. Е.А. Калинина

Внимание писателей привлечено к фотографии уже с момента ее возникновения. Для литературы этот тип медиа связан с многочисленными загадками: фотографический образ никогда не теряет своей “восхитительной странности”. В одно и то же время это –  знак присутствия и отсутствия, реальности и призрачности, смерти и бессмертия. Фотографический снимок – проводник в пространство памяти и источник “метафизических вопросов” (Ролан Барт). 

В рамках спецсеминара мы поговорим о писателе-фотографе и о фотографии, «проникающей» в художественный текст, в его структуру, язык, систему образов. Мы проанализируем отсылки к фотографии в прозаических произведениях ХХ-ХХI вв,  посмотрим, как влияет фотография на структуру, язык и систему образов художественного произведения.

Организационное собрание состоится у Кафедры общей теории словесности 16 сентября (пятница) в 12:20

Литературное восприятие: ракурсы и практики анализа

Ведущая – проф. Татьяна Дмитриевна Венедиктова

Вопросы, разрабатываемые в семинаре:

•  что представляет собой опыт литературного чтения и как он может быть описан? имеет ли он историю и культурную специфику? как взаимосвязаны в нем индивидуальное и социальное?
• какие техники работы с текстом были предложены в конце ХХ века рецептивной эстетикой, критикой читательского отклика и какое дальнейшее развитие получили потом?
• какие возможности понимания художественного текста открывает работа на стыке литературоведения, лингвистической прагматики, истории и социологии культуры? каким образом через «работу» литературных форм открывается пониманию человек как субъект культуры? 

 

Поэзия как коммуникация

Ведущая – проф. Татьяна Дмитриевна Венедиктова

In this course we explore the formation of the modern lyric as a verbal communication of complex experience. With readings that span Romanticism and Modernism we will observe how poetry gradually parts ways with traditional rhetoric to experiment with various new strategies that engage the reader through verbal indirection. Class sessions will include close reading and discussion of representative works as an “exploratory sally into the very core of verbal communication” (Roman Jakobson).
