Description

The course provides exposure to Russian culture through close reading of Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment in broad historical context. We will be discussing key components of Russian national identity and investigate major Russian contributions to literature, painting, music, and architecture. The approach will be interdisciplinary. Topics include reform and stagnation, violence and repentance, utopia and modernity. All readings are in English translation. No prior knowledge of Russian literature, culture, or language is necessary.

Class Format:

The lectures for this course will be delivered in-person. Testing for this course will be asynchronous and will consist of two argumentative papers that will be submitted via Canvas during a designated time frame. This course will use Canvas for all asynchronous online components.
