The virtual platform HPS.CESEE and CHORUS: Colloquium for the History of Russian Science are proud to present the global book talk "History of Soviet Psychiatry". Benjamin Zajicek (Towson University) and Fanny Le Bonhomme (University of Poitiers) will join with Grégory Dufaud (Sciences Po Lyon), to discuss his recently published book Une histoire de la psychiatrie soviétique (History of Soviet Psychiatry) [1], in a discussion moderated by Alexei Kojevnikov (University of British Columbia). It is part of a series of open zoom events aiming to foster the discussion of new books and approaches within the history of science and scholarship (broadly understood) in Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe.

"Soviet psychiatry is known today as a medical specialty that serves to support political opponents. Whille it is not wrong, this image is very reductive. Grégory Dufaud propose in this essay anther perspective. He shows how the treatment of psychiatric diseased was be a space of initiatives and innovations, animated by the psychiatric societies who were attentive to the mental health of the population and tried not to divide their work from the medical practice.

Exploring the variety of meanings and uses of psychiatry in the Soviet Union, the book explores complex issues that linked political power and visions of scientific and social progress. This study offers thus a history of medicine and the practice of medicine and at the same time of social and political domination and authoritarian rule."

Thursday, May 5, 17:00-19:00 Central European Time (CET) / 18:00-20:00 Kyiv / 11:00-14:00 New York

[English below]

Publikacja powstała z inspiracji dr. hab. prof. UW Tomasza Ochinowskiego i dr hab. prof. UW Izabelli Łęckiej z Wydziału Zarządzania przy współudziale imponującego zespołu młodych badaczy rekrutujących się z grona studentów z różnych kierunków stołecznej uczelni. Studenci nie tylko przeprowadzili wywiady z bohaterami stanu wojennego. Podjęli się również opracowania merytorycznego dokumentacji.

Na omawiany tom składają się wspomnienia: Maryli Kiersnowskiej, Andrzeja Kaczanowskiego, Jerzego Kwaśniewskiego, Barbary Malak-Minkiewicz, Lecha Mankiewicza, Anny Owczarek, Anny Radziejowskiej-Hilchen, Joanny Papis, Jana Rempały, Juliana Srebrnego, Jerzego Siedleckiego, Jerzego Szatyłowicza, Zuzanny Toeplitz, Ryszarda Zielińskiego i Mariusza Ziółkowskiego. Z powyższego wykazu nazwisk wynika, że młodym badaczom i ich opiekunom nie przyświecała bynajmniej idea dotarcia do postaci z pierwszych stron gazet w kontekście dramatycznych wydarzeń, które w wyniku decyzji gen. Wojciecha Jaruzelskiego i jego komunistycznych współpracowników rozpoczęły się 13 grudnia 1981 roku.

Reminiscences of the Martial Law at the University of Warsaw

The publication, spearheaded by Prof. Tomasz Ochinowski and Prof. Izabella Łęcka of the Faculty of Management, was prepared by an impressive team of young researchers, students hailing from a range of the University’s programmes, who not only carried out interviews with heroes of the Martial Law but also undertook to transcribe and annotate the material.

The volume features accounts from: Maryla Kiersnowska, Andrzej Kaczanowski, Jerzy Kwaśniewski, Barbara Malak-Minkiewicz, Lech Mankiewicz, Anna Owczarek, Anna Radziejowska-Hilchen, Joanna Papis, Jan Rempała, Julian Srebrny, Jerzy Siedlecki, Jerzy Szatyłowicz, Zuzanna Toeplitz, Ryszard Zieliński and Mariusz Ziółkowski. The very list of names shows that the young researchers and their mentors aimed to go beyond the most notable participants of the dramatic events unleashed on 13 December 1981 by General Wojciech Jaruzelski and his communist associates.

Keywords: Martial Law, witnesses to Martial Law, Solidarity, oral history.

International Online Conference, “100th Anniversary of Ukrainian Formalism”, 28-30 April 2022

 

In the 1920s, the “technique of the craft of writing” became one of the main tools for the modernization of Ukrainian national art and literature. This partly explains the tremendous interest of Ukrainian critics, literary historians, and theorists in Formal theory. The “Formal method,” along with the “Marxist method,” were the two main competing approaches to literary analysis in the 1920s. In 1922, the Ukrainian critic Volodymyr Koryak published the article titled “Form and Content” which provoked a subsequent polemics around the problem of the dialectics of “form” and “content.” This was the first significant discussion in Ukrainian literary criticism in the 1920s, and it marked the starting point of the phenomenon which is often called the “Ukrainian formalism.”

The aim of our conference is to examine Ukrainian formalism and to address its legacy in contemporary Ukrainian literary studies. At the same time, the problem of “Ukrainian formalism” also ought to be considered in the wider framework of the development of Formal theory in other East European countries between World War I and World War II (the Polish and Czechoslovak cases). This could help us distinguish the specific national features in the theoretical perspectives and in ways of cultural thinking.
