Dissent in Twentieth-Century Ukraine

3 Hours

Survey Ukrainian authors from the 1920s to the present, examining writings from "Executed Renaissance," underground literature, and postmodernism. Focus specifically on works that challenge the paradigm of socialist realism by discussing forbidden subjects (famine, religion, Gulag) or accentuating themes that are not considered "major" (personal life). Only one of the following may be counted: Comparative Literature 305C, European Studies 307 (Topic 10), 307D, Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies 302F. Three lecture hours a week for one semester.
