Topic: War and Resistance in Contemporary Eastern Europe This course examines works of a range of contemporary Eastern European writers with a focus on themes of war, resistance and identity after the collapse of the USSR. The topics include the aftermath of communism in Eastern Europe, the Balkan wars, Russia’s wars in Chechnya and Georgia as well as the ongoing Russia’s war against Ukraine. The course readings include works by Svetlana Alexievich (Belarus), Slavenka Drakulić and Dubravka Ugrešić (Croatia), Semezdin Mehmedinović (Bosnia), Anna Politkovskaya (Russia), Oksana Lutsyshyna and Stanislav Aseyev (Ukraine) among others. The course explores how literature reflects on the trauma of communism, on the experience of war and mass destruction in the region and focuses the on the role that literature plays in shaping national identities in the complex tapestry of the post-Soviet landscape as well as gender identity, resisting not only political regimes but also gender-based oppression. Through close reading, writing and class discussion, students will gain a general understanding of culture, politics, and gender roles in post-communist Eastern Europe in the context of recent events in the region.
