  Bookstove — Authority: 120
  Cover via Amazon In Hope Against Hope Nadezhda Mandelstam bears witness to how the Terror destroyed her love, her life, and her generation.  Hers is a story of how an entire people—people she knew—became the creators, the collaborators, the executioners, and ultimately the victims of what we call ...

• Gumilev on poetry

  
  HG Poetics — Authority: 123
  Strange how some Petersburgians seem to affect me, recurrently, over stretches of time, creating these turning points. That is, I think about Mandelstam & his work all the time, but then there are these more pivotal occasions... now, reading some of Gumilevs critical writings (in an old Ardis Press bk I had ...

• Justin Doherty on Acmeism

  
  HG Poetics — Authority: 123
  "... there is an unchasteness of attitude in both the doctrine of "Art for life," and that of "Art for art." In the first case, art... has value only to the extent that it serves goals extraneous to it.... In the second case, art becomes effete, grows agonizingly moonlike ..." - Nikolai Gumilev, "The Life of Verse" ...

• Poetry, religion, humanism

  
  HG Poetics — Authority: 123
  My life may manifest a spiritual dimension. It may involve a spiritual search. I may indeed be, off & on, a sort of hermit cum rabbinical student, mulling over obscure passages of ancient texts for secret, personal or contemporary meanings. I may make a confession of faith; in fact, I believe I am a Christian ...

  [posted also at Plumbline School ] 1 In an appendix to his book Poetic Affairs (on Paul Celan, Durs Grunbein, Joseph Brodsky, and the kinship each poet shares with Osip Mandelstam) Michael Eskin deftly draws together some logical threads of Mandelstams "Acmeist" poetics : 1. aesthetic : "Mandelstams notion ...

• Listening to the Voice of Anna Akhmatova

  
  a blind flaneur — Authority: 122
  After imagining the voice of Osip Mandelstam in Paul Celan’s anguished ferocity , I searched YouTube to find what else might be out there in the documentary record. I’ve never heard of the existence of any recording of Mandelstam’s voice. Its absence is a testament to his times. Sound recording technology had ...

• Café Mouffe: Paul Celan’s Todesfuge

  
  a blind flaneur — Authority: 122
  After a week of  searching for the renewal of thought in inner speech, let there be its full expression in external; speech, through poetry. Had Osip Mandelstam survived Stalin’s labor camps, I imagine him bearing witness with the fierce urgency of  Paul Celan , who wrote Todesfuge in the aftermath of the ...

• A Word is the Search for It, part 5: The Renewal of Motive

  
  a blind flaneur — Authority: 122
  Early in my study of Lev Vygotsky’s work I asked an experimental psychologist, an eminent authority on the evolution of the mammalian brain, what he knew about Vygotsky. He was working on sabbatical in London at the time, so our email conversation had the abbreviated quality of inner speech. He explained that he had ...

  a blind flaneur — Authority: 122
  The abridged translation of Thought and Language also omitted passages which the translators considered obscure, overly philosophical, and extraneous to the book’s scientific arguments. In the unabridged translation Kozulin noted, without elaboration, that some of Vygotsky’s conclusions were influenced by ...

• A Word is the Search for It, part 3: Subtext and Secret Writing

  
  a blind flaneur — Authority: 122
  As Vygotsky probed deeper into the inner processes of thought and language, he reached motive. “Thought is not begotten by thought,” he wrote. “It is engendered by motivation, … by our desires and needs, our interests and emotions. Behind every thought there is an affective-volitional tendency” (252). ...

• A Word is the Search for It, part 2: The Work of Inner Speech

  
  a blind flaneur — Authority: 122
  In Russian the title of Vygotsky’s book is Myshlenie i Rech . This can be translated literally as “Thought and Speech,” but the word rech also connotes “language” and “discourse.” Similarly, the title of Vygotsky’s final chapter is “ Myshlenie i Slovo .” One of the most profound words in the ...
