UNDOING EROS: Love and Sexuality in Russian Culture
A Graduate Student Conference
October 22-23
Chancellor Greene Rotunda
Room 105
The graduate student conference, Undoing Eros: Love and Sexuality in
Russian Culture will examine the different ways Russian writers,
artists, and intellectuals have problematized, disassembled, and
reinvented the terms of love and sexuality. Ranging from societal trends
to the intimate experiences of the individual, the topics of discussion
will include: the role of love and sex in state ideology, taboos,
familial relationships, gender roles (and their subversion), and the
body.
