| Abstract | This dissertation aims to show that parodic male societies in Russian culture have shared a set of themes and behaviors across history and argues that this phenomenon extends back to the late medieval period of Russian culture. The study begins with Peter the Great’s All-Drunken Synod (1689-1725) and includes Arzamas (1820s), Koz’ma Prutkov (1850s), the Serapion Brotherhood (1920s) and Sergei Dovlatov’s circle of the late 1960s and 1970s. These seemingly Westernizing societies engage in a return to “Russian” values by incorporating into their works elements of late medieval Russian satire, especially theatrical interludes, as a means of protesting the literary cultures and social realities of their times. Ultimately, this study examines an important aspect of Russian counterculture by showing that the ostensibly occasional and peripheral phenomenon of marginalized writers parodying aspects of the larger culture and especially the dominant institutions of literature was, in fact, a recurring and even a productive part of Russian literary culture. |
