SUMMARY:GSAS Lecture: Julia Vaingurt, "Low Spirits and Immoderate Meditations in Venedikt Erofeev's 'Moskva-Petushki'"  
DESCRIPTION:<p>	<a data-url="http://lcsl.uic.edu/slavic-baltic/people/faculty/julia-vaingurt" href="http://lcsl.uic.edu/slavic-baltic/people/faculty/julia-vaingurt">Julia Vaingurt</a>, Associate Professor at University of Illinois at Chicago, received her doctorate from the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures at Harvard University in 2005.</p><p>	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.  </p>
