Projects
Russian Animation (Birgit Beumers)
The research project ‘Animated Russia’ will adopt a chronological approach: it begins with an analysis of the experiments in animation of the 1920s, when animation emerged as an independent art form: its potential to appeal to children because of the simplicity of form led to the formation of Soyuzdetmultfilm (United Children Animation Studios, later Soyuzmultfilm).
The post-war period will be analysed, with its numerous fairy-tale cartoons which present magic not as a means of reaching a Stalinist utopia (‘making the fairy tale come true’), but as a way of redeeming good behaviour in children. Magic is de-ideologized and takes on a universal educational function. Furthermore, the reward system in the magic realm (the hero receives magic help as a reward for a good deed) offers a recompense for the absence of such a system in socialist society. Fairy tales were adapted by well-known writers, such as Vladimir Mass and Nikolai Erdman (working in the satirical genre in the 1920s) who often contributed to poignant characterisations bordering on subversion. While the cartoon promoted a moral value system where the State/Party offered empty ideological phrases, in aesthetical terms cartoons were conservative, harking back at folk traditions and following the decorative designs of Ivan Bilibin (1876-1942) and Viktor Vasnetsov (1848-1926).
Cartoons with contemporary settings show the process of the child’s maturation, rewarded by the integration of the little citizen into the great Soviet society. If the period of the Thaw (1956-64) emphasized the individual’s contribution to the building of Soviet history, the Stagnation (1960s-1970s) shows the individual’s increasing isolation from a society where the collective has collapsed. In cartoons of this period the child’s loneliness becomes a focal point: children are seen as misunderstood both by peers and parents, but comforted by magic creatures, pet-animals, and toys. Toys appear as cartoon characters and animals acquire toy-like features in their movement, bringing puppets back into animation.
Finally, in the post-Soviet period I will explore the demise of Russian cartoon production for children, which was rebuilt only in the new millennium with feature-length cartoons based on Russian epics about the legendary heroes Alesha Popovich, Ilya Muromets and Dobrynya Nikitich, appealing with their New-Russian jargon to a different generation of children.
This project is funded by a Leverhulme Award for 2008-9.
Fizkultura (Mike O'Mahony)
In Russia and the Soviet Union a fascination with the body, physical exercise and movement has consistently played a central role in a whole host of cultural activities, from literature and music to the visual arts. Both the late-Tsarist and early Soviet regimes sought to renegotiate the widely held, stereotypical view of the Russian as a lumbering bear, replacing this notional body-type with that of the fit, elegant and youthful sporting body. Here, visual culture has always played a vital part. From the international touring activities of Sergei Diaghilev’s Ballet Russes to the victories of Soviet sports teams in international competitions during the early Cold War era, the animated body has proved to be a remarkably versatile signifier of the ever-changing social, political and ideological concerns of twentieth-century Russia.
This project aims to place the animated body at the centre of its research concerns. It will examine the performative aspects of the body in movement within such activities as sport, dance, circus and theatrical performance, as well as examining in detail the representation of these activities in a host of media including painting, sculpture, photography, film and the decorative arts. O’Mahony’s monograph (Sport in the USSR: Physical Culture – Visual Culture, London: Reaktion Books, 2006) has highlighted the vital significance of the relationship between physical culture and visual culture throughout the modern period. More importantly, it has opened the field for further investigation and suggested the breadth of further research possibilities that such a theme might engender.
