This course is designed to continue refining students’ practice
of speaking, listening, reading, and writing in Russian. The focus is on the
continuing acquisition of advanced grammar and pertinent vocabulary as well
as reading and conversational skills enabling students to communicate
effectively within the topics of everyday importance. Accuracy in using basic
grammar constructions in speaking and writing in Russian is pursued and
encouraged. Advanced grammar constructions are introduced through a wide
variety of adapted texts and contexts. In addition to textbook material,
students will be assigned readings of authentic and adapted Russian literary
and journalistic texts: pertinent discussions, assignments as well as written
and oral responses will entail elements of literary analysis and critique. |

Anton Pavlovich Chekhov began writing simply to earn much
needed money while studying to become a doctor at Moscow University. His connection to the medical profession,
and the natural sciences, is not mere biographical fact. As Chekhov himself later admitted,
"there is no doubt that my study of medicine strongly affected my work
in literature." Moreover, he claimed that "the writer must be as
objective as the chemist." This
course will give students the opportunity to analyse how Dr. Chekhov's
"general theory of objectivity" impacted his writing and how his
"treatment" of human nature and social issues, of love and family,
all the big and “little things in life,” has brought an entirely new
dimension to Russian literature and culture.
Readings include Chekhov's prose, plays, and letters. Also, attention will be given to
contemporary interpretations of his work, new biographical research, and
productions of his plays on stage and screen. Conducted in English. |
