Ep. #072 - Alexei Yurchak
No full textThis recording and transcript form part of a collection of podcasts conducted by the Cultures of Energy at Rice University. Cultures of Energy brings writers, artists and scholars together to talk, think and feel their way into the Anthropocene. We cover serious issues like climate change, species extinction and energy transition. But we also try to confront seemingly huge and insurmountable problems with insight, creativity and laughter.To help us sort through a week dominated by spiraling Russo-American political intrigue, we welcome (13:01) to the podcast Berkeley anthropologist, Alexei Yurchak, analyst extraordinaire of all things late Soviet and post Soviet, and author of the award-winning Everything was Forever Until It Was No More: The Last Soviet Generation (Princeton, 2005). We trace the connections between that project’s exploration of culture and politics at the end of state socialism and Alexei’s current research on the scientists who have been working to preserve Lenin’s body since 1924. We talk about the fascinating intersection of biopolitics and necropolitics involved in the effort to maintain Lenin’s body in a lifelike state for almost a century, how discursive hegemony of form in the late Soviet period also informed corporeal hegemony of form, the results of this science that you can find in your own pharmacy, and the network of political leaders’ bodies across the world that Soviet and now Russian scientists have worked to preserve. Alexei dispels the idea that cloning was ever on the table in this project; but explains that his interlocutors do believe that they can now keep Lenin’s body in a near-life state in perpetuity. We return from there to the contemporary political chaos and what Alexei makes of the Trump-Putin entanglement stories currently dominating the headlines. Alexei shares his concerns about the powerful return of Russophobia to the United States, about what popular characterizations of Russia get wrong, and about how anti-Russian sentiment may provide a convenient excuse to defer a serious examination of the root causes of Trumpism.

Alexei Miller, The Romanov Empire and Nationalism
No full textA new imperial history of the Russian Empire hardly breaks new ground — reprints of older publications show that this paradigm shift is well established by now. However, Alexei Miller’s anthology demonstrates that this approach can still pose stimulating questions and provide complex and unexpected answers. The book presents more than a welcomed English collection of Miller’s main publications: some of the contributions are new, some have undergone “significant changes,” as the author puts it..

Proiecţii asupra spaţiului concentraţionar în "Eu şi lumea" de Alexei Marinat
No full textThis article approaches the theme of concentrationary space, a less discussed topic in the detention memoirs, a genre dominated by the uncertainty of the dissident-protagonist and by the Communist imprisonment regime. The main coordinates of the concentrationary communist universe Alexei Marinat’sMe and the Worldare highlighted by trying to recreate the Bessarabian Gulag memory and the oppression of the Communist regime characterizing that period. The artistic devices point at the coordinates of the concentrationary space and at the documentary and survival purpose, primarily pursued by the author. The article also seeks to analyse the stylistic register used by Alexei Marinat, which is a way of highlighting the concentrationary reality.Melnic, Svetlana.

Putin persistently murders Alexei Navalny
No full textTekst traktuje o aresztowaniu w Rosji przez Putina głównego rosyjskiego opozycjonisty Aleksieja Nawalnego. Mowa jest o torturach wobec więźnia, które doprowadziły do utraty jego zdrowia. Autor podejmuje także kwestię wcześniejszego trucia Nawalnego "nowiczokiem" - także dokonywanego z inicjatywy Putina.The text deals with Putin's arrest in Russia of the leading Russian oppositionist Alexei Navalny. There is talk of the torture of a prisoner, which led to the loss of his health. The author also addresses the issue of Navalny's earlier poisoning with "novichok" - at the initiative of Putin.В тексте речь идет об аресте Путиным в России главного российского оппозиционера Алексея Навального.

The search of the total human experience in Alexei Bueno's poetry
No full textThe research reflects on the inclusion of Alexei Bueno in contemporary Brazilian literature and the objective is to demonstrate through poems analysis and some criticism of the author that the lyric self of Alexei Bueno seeks a total human experience, subjective and simultaneously objectified in history. The main strategy to enter the poetry of Alexei Bueno is to shift the notion of anachronism that still remains in vogue in much of the critical mentality tradition today, which is to obsolescence and uselessness to the present. The other strategy is agambeniana: from the text O que é o Contemporâneo?, you can understand that the anachronism is not a negative temporality, but central to all contemporary. For Agamben, this (mixture of closeness and distance) has its foundation in source (arké) that it deeply pulses. These directions indicate a displacement of the notion of anachronism and allow entering the Alexei Bueno's poetic in order to get the man in his historical character (contingent) and in his essential character, that is, seek man in his integral aspectA pesquisa reflete sobre a inserção de Alexei Bueno na literatura contemporânea brasileira e o objetivo é demonstrar, através de análises de poemas e de algumas passagens críticas do autor, que o eu poético de Alexei Bueno busca uma experiência expandida, total do humano: subjetiva e simultaneamente objetivada na História. A estratégia principal para adentrar a poesia de Alexei Bueno é deslocar a noção de anacronismo que ainda permanece em voga em boa parte da tradição da mentalidade crítica na atualidade, que é a de passadismo, de obsolescência e de inutilidade para o presente. A outra estratégia é agambeniana: a partir do texto O que é o Contemporâneo?, é possível compreender que o anacronismo não é uma temporalidade negativa, mas fundamental para toda contemporaneidade. Para Agamben, o presente (misto de proximidade e distância) tem seu fundamento na origem (arké) que nele profundamente pulsa. Tais direções apontam para um deslocamento da noção de anacronismo e permitem adentrar a poética de Alexei Bueno com o intuito de buscar o homem em seu caráter histórico (contingente) e essencial, isto é, buscar o homem em seu aspecto integra
