DESCRIPTION:How could literature\, a generally intangible art form\, be "ma
 terialist"? After the Russian Revolution\, writers in the 1920s harnessed 
 literary form to reflect upon the volatile changes in Russia's world of ob
 jects\, in an early Soviet society that defined its political project as o
 vercoming the commodity form on one hand while anxiously courting private 
 business to revive a war-ravaged economy on the other. This talk will inve
 stigate two such literary reactions\, seemingly opposed\, by the Futurist 
 poet Vladimir Mayakovsky and the proto-socialist-realist novelist Fyodor G
 ladkov.\n\nGuest Speaker: Dominick Lawton\nDominick Lawton is Assistant Pr
 ofessor in the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures at Stanford 
 University. His work and teaching are dedicated to Russian and South Slavi
 c/Yugoslav literature and culture.
