Discovering Sexuality In Dostoevsky (Paperback), Susanne Fusso Jan 2008

Discovering Sexuality In Dostoevsky (Paperback), Susanne Fusso

Susanne Fusso

Most discussions of sexuality in the work of Dostoevsky have been framed in Freudian terms. But Dostoevsky himself wrote about sexuality from a decidedly pre-Freudian perspective. By looking at the views of human sexual development that were available in Dostoevsky's time and that he, an avid reader and observer of his own social context, absorbed and reacted to, Susanne Fusso gives us a new way of understanding a critical element in the writing of one of Russia's literary masters. Beyond discovering Dostoevsky's own views and representations of sexuality as a reflection of his culture and his time, Fusso also explores …

Focusing on the intersection of architects, housing design, and the state apparatus between 1945 and …


Forgotten Serbian Thinkers—Current Relevance: Preface To The Special Issue, Jelena Bogdanović Jan 2008

Forgotten Serbian Thinkers—Current Relevance: Preface To The Special Issue, Jelena Bogdanović

Jelena Bogdanović

The 2009 national convention of the Association for Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies featured a panel on Forgotten Serbian Thinkers. Scholars who are working in the United States and abroad presented their research on the contributions of individuals representing various disciplines. The articles in this special issue of the Serbian Studies expand on these topics and bring forward contributions about forgotten Serbian intellectuals who have marked their respective professions in architecture, astronomy, literature, and philosophy, but who have been “forgotten” either in Serbia or outside Serbia. Paradoxically, most of these thinkers were forgotten exactly because they were living and …
