Dostoevsky’s Pilgrimage: Aesthetics and Ascesis in “The Brothers Karamazov”

Social Sciences, Room 122 1126 E 59th St. Chicago, IL 60637, Hyde Park, IL

Co-sponsored by the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures Dostoevsky’s final novel, set partly in a monastery, continues to shape contemporary images of Orthodox Christian monasticism and ascetic practice. Bird will examine how well Dostoevsky actually knew this milieu and this tradition, and how profoundly his knowledge affected his writing of The Brothers Karamazov. This will serve as a case study for the broader question of the influence of the Orthodox Christian ascetic tradition on modern Russian aesthetics.
