Visual Arts as Example and Model

Likovne umjetnosti kao primjer i uzor književnosti

Author(s): Miroslav Beker / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 3/1987

Having considered a number of cases the author comes to the conclusion that writers/critics use examples from visual arts in order to supply persuasive illustrations of their own claims, to establish the border lines between various media and, finally, to draw attention to painters that have been more successful than the writers of the same period.

Comparing Violence: Organ Theft Rumors in Chechnya and Latic America

Comparing Violence: Organ Theft Rumors in Chechnya and Latic America

Author(s): Amandine Regamey / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2012

Keywords: War; Violence; Rumors; Organ Theft; Chechnya; Latin America

In 2001 a rumor started to spread in Chechnya, according to which Russian forces arrested and murdered young Chechen men in order to sell their organs. These rumors of organ trafficking are reminiscent of those that have surfaced in other contexts of extreme violence, particularly in Latin America. A comparison with research on Latin America allows us to show how organ theft rumors gradually spread and crystallize as structured stories and permits us to examine how these stories enter international discourses about the mistreatment and commodification of human bodies under conditions of violence and conflict. This article argues that organ theft rumors are a collective way of expressing fears, putting a traumatic experience into words, and talking about what war has done to Chechen society. In English, extended summary in Russian.

The Erotic Biopower of Putinism: From Glamour to Pornography

The Erotic Biopower of Putinism: From Glamour to Pornography

Author(s): Francisco Martinez / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2012

Keywords: Putinism; Queer Practices; Glamour; Pornography; Russian Conservatism

In the present essay I explain how the exaltation of glamour in Russia and the persecution of queer sexual practices belong to the same normalizing strategy, which aims to freeze ideological discourse and empower conservative nodal points of Vladimir Putin's political regime. By analyzing tje genealogy of "glamour" and the emergence of the term in the post-Soviet context, I explore how the glorification of certain sexual practices to the exclusion of others limits the possibilities for symbolic alternatives within Russian society. The study of certain erotic phenomena intimately related with the process of subjectification illuminates how hegemony is articulated in post-Soviet Russia.

Legal Wounds: The Meaning of Human Rights for Lesbians anf Gay Men in Russia

Правовые раны: значение прав человека для геев и лесбиянок в России

Author(s): Alexander Kondakov / Language(s): Russian / Issue: 3/2012

Keywords: Human Rights; Lesbians and Gay Men; Legal Wound

This article discusses the production of lesbians and gay men as subjects of human rights discourse in Russia. Conclusions are drawn from discourse analysis of group discussions and life history interviews with St. Petersburg lesbians and gay men. I base my analysis on the methodological concept of the "legal wound" which makes it possible to show the legal situation of the subjects that personify human rights discourse in contemporary Russia. In Russian, extended summary in English.
