Yet the place that would be occupied by Russia in modern politics, culture, and society had yet to be determined, not least because the modern world was itself rapidly evolving. Tracing this history forward over two hundred years, this reading course will examine major problems in Imperial Russian cultural history, 1650-1850. Drawing on theories of empire, communication, and performance, we will analyze historical scholarship as well as classical Russian literature and art to understand how the space claimed by Russian empire became the place called modern Russia. Coursework will include seminar presentations, short reaction papers, and a longer research project, based on either secondary or primary sources.
