- W2197177613 abstract "Author(s): Schick, Christine Suzanne | Advisor(s): Clark, Timothy J. | Abstract: This dissertation aims in part to redress the shortage of close readings of VladimirMayakovsky and Aleksandr Rodchenko's joint project, the book Pro Eto. It explores therelationship between the book's visual and verbal aspects, treating the book and its images asobjects that repay attentive looking and careful analysis. By these means this dissertation findsthat the images do not simply illustrate the text, but have an intertextual relationship with it:sometimes the images suggest their own, alternative narrative, offering scenes that do not exist inthe poem; sometimes they act as literary criticism, suggesting interpretations, supplyingbiographical information, and highlighting with their own form aspects of the poem's.This analysis reveals Pro Eto's strong links with distant forms of art and literature. Thepoem's intricate ties to the book of Genesis and Victor Shklovsky's novel Zoo, written while theformer literary critic was in exile in Berlin, evince an ambivalence about the manifestations ofsocialism in early-1920s Russia that is missing from much of Mayakovsky's work. At the sametime Rodchenko's images, with their repeated references to Byzantine icons and Dadaistphotomontage, expand the poem's scope and its concerns far beyond NEP-era Moscow. Thus myanalysis finds that although Pro Eto is considered to be an emblematic Constructivist work,many of the received ideas about Russian Constructivism--the unswerving zeal of itspractitioners, the utility of its production, and in particular the ideology-driven, sui-generisnature of the movement itself--are not supported by the book. Pro Eto's deep connections withart and literature outside of Bolshevik Russia contradict the idea--first set out by theConstructivists themselves and widely accepted by subsequent scholars--of Constructivism asan autochthonous movement, born of theory, and indebted neither to historical art movementsnor to contemporary western ones. My analysis suggests that reading Pro Eto through the lens ofConstructivist theory denies the work the richness, ambivalence and humor it gains when thattheory is understood as being in conversation with artistic practice, rather than defining it." @default.
