Spatial Studies in Russian Media

Question

Russia has an immense and diverse geography that has fundamentally shaped its culture and

history. Over the second half of the semester we have added imperialism, exile and

imprisonment, the construction of the Soviet state (in both film and literature), creating

art/constructing the self during war (in literature and film), space and gender, and now the

immigrant experience to our list of spatial themes in Russian literature and film. This is in

addition to our already robust set of earlier topics: the home, nature, the city/country contrast,

nature (forests, rivers, open plains, mountains). For your final paper I would like you to continue

thinking spatially about Russian culture, but now also consider the media or genre in which a

work is written. Choose one work from any part in the semester – poetry, a short story, a novel, a

film, an documentary or memoiristic work – and consider, primarily, the role space plays in the

work. Feel free to choose one of the spatial themes listed above or create your spatial theme. But

as you think about space in your essay, do not forget to consider the work’s form, the specificity

of its medium. Although how you create your thesis is up to you, you might attempt to answer

the following question: how does the work utilize the particularities of its medium to address a

problem or opportunity the unique space of Russia/the Soviet Union presents?

The paper must focus on at least one work of artistic writing or film from our reading list. It must

also cite two of our theoretical readings: one theoretical reading about space and one about

media. The citations from the theoretical works should help you develop your thesis and frame

your readings of the literary work or film. For this paper, please also research your topic,

providing at least on source of secondary criticism. Page limit is 5-7 pages.

Writing Guidelines

form and structure of your argument are valuable tools that will help you present your idea. In

that light, your paper must

Abstract
Russia is a country with immense and diverse geography which is responsible for the
historical and cultural changes witnessed over the past years. Space has therefore played a
significant role in defining the wellbeing of city development in Russia, providing a place for
agenda on new urban development, finding solutions to problems and creating more
opportunities. For the purpose of this paper, the focus will be on the theme of the city/country
contrast to ascertain the impact of space on the specificity, form and the works in this theme as
well as its medium. Therefore, I will rely on the memoir work to identify the various instances
where space has been a major contributor to the changes realized in the Russian cultural context.
In this paper, I argue that there is great convergence between media and space and how the
combination creates a cultural shift due to spatial changes as evidenced by the artistic
writing on country city contrast. I also argue that spatial differentiation has influenced the
Russian planning in to shift from crisis into an effective and pluralistic social institution.
Currently, urbanization and spatial planning depend on geography to create a
diversification of planning systems in the country.

medium to address the opportunity of urbanization and well as the inherent problem of
hierarchical societal class which is presented in the unique space of Russia. Space defines the
economic endowment, natural resources, physical properties, and infrastructural development in
Russia which orients Russia periphery to different directions. It, therefore, consolidate power to
gain control of its periphery and solve peripheral governance problems.
Russian culture has been widely influenced by space and time. The Country city contrast
is an illustration of how the urban culture in Russia was largely influenced by space. Within the
Russian context, space has taken a methodological turn as years goes by, creating more dynamic
changes and improvements in the ways of life, values, opinions, and general cultural activities.
The return of space as a driver of many cultural practices and values in Russia is a factor of
many peripheries, maps, centers, and space by reviewing the various the theme of country city
contrasts.
How Country/City Memoir Utilize the Particularities of its Medium to Address the
Regional Differentiation of Urban Settlement the Unique Space of Russia/the Soviet Union
The memoir work on the theme of country city contrast bears a fundamental spatial
