RUSS 026. Russian and East European Science Fiction (Cross-listed as LITR 026R ) Science fiction enjoyed surprisingly high status in Russia and Eastern Europe, attracting such prominent mainstream writers as Karel Čapek, Mikhail Bulgakov, and Evgenii Zamiatin. In the post-Stalinist years of stagnation, science fiction provided a refuge from stultifying official Socialist Realism for authors like Stanisław Lem and the Strugatsky brothers. This course will concentrate on 20th-century science fiction (translated from Czech, Polish, Russian and Serbian) with a glance at earlier influences and attention to more recent works, as well as to Western parallels and contrasts. Humanities. 1 credit. Eligible for CPLT, GLBL-Paired Spring 2024. Forrester. Catalog chapter: Modern Languages and Literatures: Russian Department website: http://www.swarthmore.edu/russian
