 [Julia Vaingurt](http://lcsl.uic.edu/slavic-baltic/people/faculty/julia-vaingurt), Associate Professor at University of Illinois at Chicago, received her doctorate from the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures at Harvard University in 2005.

 This talk will analyze the ethics and aesthetics of weakness, with alcohol as the mechanism of its attainment, in Erofeev’s famous poem in prose. Attempting to establish a subject position along the parameters of weakness and doubt rather than power and knowledge, Erofeev’s work remains ultimately ambivalent about his chosen solution to the problem of subjectivity.
