摘要

The present study examines representations of the body in Soviet-era Russian literature. It argues that two diametrically opposed approaches to the body are characteristic both of modern Russian culture in general and of Soviet literature in particular. On the one hand, the sacrificial approach to the body, which originates in the traditions of Orthodox Christianity, uses the suffering or dying body symbolically to give reality to a specific belief system in a manner such as has been described by Elaine Scarry. On the other hand, the Enlightenment attitude to human corporeality, which entered Russian culture in the eighteenth century as a part of the process of Westernization and modernization of Russia, proclaims the establishment of perfect bodily health in all citizens and the complete elimination of human bodily suffering to be one of the primary ethical goals of an ideally ordered human society, as well as being crucial, in a practical sense, to the optimal functioning of the state. Paradoxical though this is, both the symbolic use of bodily sacrificialism and an insistence on bodily health as a vital social goal are typical of official Soviet culture. As a result of the simultaneous presence of bodily sacrificialism and the ideal of bodily health in Soviet culture, both writers who support Soviet ideology and system and those who oppose it may engage with either of these approaches to the body. This dissertation deals with both official and unofficial writers, both those who extol bodily suffering and death, and those who denounce it. Each chapter addresses both the political and the ethical implications of the interaction between the body and ideology in a given set of literary texts. The study as a whole seeks to contribute to our understanding of the intersection between art, politics and ethics in Soviet culture, as well as illuminate a hitherto unexplored aspect of continuity between pre-revolutionary Russian culture and the literature of the Soviet era.
