Cultural Memory in Acmeist Poetry
Author: Jonathan Walter Voss
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Akhmatova, Anna Andreevna
Languages : en
Pages : 750
Book Description
"This study examines the role of memory in the poetry of the Russian Acmeists: Nikolai Gumilev, Osip Mandelstam, and Anna Akhmatova. These poets sought to preserve the cultural continuity that seemed to have been lost amid the great social upheavals that swept through Russia at the turn of the century. The Acmeists portray memory as the tangible evidence of spiritual inspiration in human thought. This relationship is elucidated by comparing the poetry to philosophical systems that demonstrate similar approaches. Gumilev emphasizes the distinction between instinct and intelligence in the same manner as Henri Bergson. Gumilev presents a spiritual 'biography' in the poem 'Pami︠a︡tʹ' in which memory integrates body and soul. Each of the five personalities in this poem displays a combination of intelligent and instinctive action in its effort to expand human spirituality through individual action. Mandelstam explores Bergson's understanding of memory and perception, and extends that notion to the sciences of biology and physics. Mandelstam's treatment of memory in relation to physical existence has much in common with systems theory as it has developed in the wake of Albert Einstein's theory of relativity, and with the biological theories of Jean Baptiste Lamarck. Mandelstam uses these ideas to prove that the continuation of culture is vitally dependent on the creative freedom of the individual. Akhmatova's depiction of memory as it relates to human relationships parallels the model of psychological experience proposed by Carl Gustav Jung. Many of the figures that appear in her works share characteristics of Jung's archetypes: the Shadow, Animus, and Self. In Akhmatova's poetry, memory mediates the appearance of collective contents in personal consciousness, and informs the notions of guilt, retribution and redemption as they are experienced in the history of her culture"--Abstract.

Pages : 262
Book Description
Convinced that all aspects of modern culture have been affected by avant-garde art, Renato Poggioli explores the relationship between the avant-garde and civilization. Historical parallels and modern examples from all the arts are used to show how the avant-garde is both symptom and cause of many major extra-aesthetic trends of our time, and that the contemporary avant-garde is the sole and authentic one.

Barbarian: Explorations of a Western Concept in Theory, Literature, and the Arts
Author: Markus Winkler
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3476046117
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 501
Book Description
Since Greek antiquity, the ‘barbarian’ captivates the Western imaginary and operates as the antipode against which self-proclaimed civilized groups define themselves. Therefore, the study of the cultural history of barbarism is a simultaneous exploration of the shifting contours of European identity. This two-volume co-authored study explores the history of the concept ‘barbarism’ from the 18th century to the present and illuminates its foundational role in modern European and Western identity. It constitutes an original comparative, interdisciplinary exploration of the concept’s modern European and Western history, with emphasis on the role of literature in the concept’s shifting functions. Critically responding to the contemporary popularity of the term ‘barbarian' in political rhetoric and the media, and its violent, exclusionary workings, the study contributes to a historically grounded understanding of this figure’s past and contemporary uses. It combines overviews with detailed analyses of representative works of literature, art, film, philosophy, political and cultural theory, in which “barbarism” figures prominently.
