Description: |
In the decade preceding the collapse of the USSR, rock music became a galvanizing force for change and an enduring commodity for the last Soviet generation. The traditionally western musical genre, often maligned by the establishment for its alleged propaganda of anti-socialist ideology, quickly infiltrated everyday life in the USSR and, subsequently, other art forms; most notably, the highly regimented Soviet film industry. This course will examine the representation of rock music in Soviet, post-Soviet and contemporary Russian cinema and will raise questions about he ways in which film popular music engages with sociopolitical events and acts as a destabilizing agent for totalitarianism. Taught in English. |
