In this seminar, we will attempt to develop a more "glocal" understanding of the work by situating it in relation to ideas like Alexander Bogdanov's tectonic systems theory, Mikhail Bakhtin's aesthetics of answerability, Leon Trotsky's perpetual revolution, and Aleksei Gastev's scientific organization of labor, as well as familiar modernist aesthetic models, such as the avant-garde, medium-specific formalism, and the Gesamtkunstwerk.
