Course content
The aim of the discipline is to shape and systematize students' knowledge in the problematic field of the imperial discourse in Russian literature, its key principles, and characteristics. It seeks to develop contemporary theoretical and methodological vectors for analyzing the colonial paradigm in Russian literature, taking into account the latest scholarly developments and methodologies in Ukrainian and world literary studies. The course aims to acquaint students with the main literary movements, trends, schools, the system of genres, individual-authorial stylistic systems, and poetics features of specific works. The course is dedicated to studying the colonial discourse in Russian literature from the 18th to the 20th centuries, requiring new approaches and methodologies for analyzing the so-called ""classical"" texts of Russian literature. With consideration for recent scholarly concepts, the history of Russian literature from the 18th to the 20th centuries, its genesis, typology, genre-stylistic dynamics, and individual authorial strategies are critically reexamined. The course's methodological foundation includes works from colonial studies, historical poetics, comparative-historical literary studies, intertextual and motivational analysis, receptive aesthetics, narratology, and the analysis of the conceptual sphere of literary works.
