Despite these niggles, it’s no surprise that Dragunoiu’s text has won the International Vladimir Nabokov Society’s 2022 Brian Boyd Prize for Best Second Book on Nabokov. Her monograph’s meta-argument that Nabokov’s texts are arenas where heteronomous feelings duel with autonomous thinking not only breathes new life into Nabokov’s championing of the values of curiosity, tenderness, kindness and ecstasy but, echoing Richard Rorty’s wonderful analysis in Contingency, Irony, Solidarity (Cambridge, 1989), demonstrates just how fertile philosophical interpretation of Nabokov’s oeuvre can be.

in fact the staggering examples of representations of deaths in movies make them funeral instruments’ (p. 222). Leaving aside the oddity of opposing death to reality, realistic ‘ontologies’ like André Bazin’s (Pop’s apparent target here) were nothing if not death-haunted. Adding to the general untidiness, the use of terms like ‘philosophy’ and ‘thinking’ oscillates between the specialized and the colloquial senses. What has initially presented itself as a rigorous intervention in the filmphilosophy debates ends up with proclamations like this: ‘Whenever we feel like screaming at the screen [exasperated by Cristi Puiu’s endlessly bickering characters from Sieranevada], philosophical intuitions are never far behind’ (p. 221). For someone who had earlier sneered (p. 7) at the existence of a book called The Philosophy of Clint Eastwood (The University Press of Kentucky, 2014), Pop’s sense of the philosophical can sometimes feel rather loose, if not all-accommodating.
事实上,电影中对死亡的惊人表现使它们成为葬礼的工具”(第222页)。撇开将死亡与现实对立的古怪观点不谈,现实主义的“本体论”,比如安德烈·巴赞(andr Bazin)(波普在这里的明显目标),如果不是被死亡所困扰的话,就什么也不是。“哲学”和“思考”等术语的使用在专业化和口语化之间摇摆不定,这使总体上的混乱雪上加霜。最初表现为对电影哲学辩论的严格干预,最终以这样的宣言结束:“每当我们想对着屏幕尖叫(被克里斯蒂·普尤在《西拉内瓦达》中无休止争吵的角色激怒时),哲学直觉从来没有落后过”(第221页)。有人曾嘲笑过《克林特·伊斯特伍德的哲学》(the Philosophy of Clint Eastwood,肯塔基大学出版社,2014年)这本书的存在(第7页),波普的哲学感有时会让人觉得相当松散,如果不是完全包容的话。

Sarajevo’s ‘Balkan manners’, and overcome a constant sense of ‘secondariness’ in Yugoslav identity vis-à-vis the capitalist West. In addition, Jovanovic interprets the Olympic boom in Sarajevo in the context of the contemporary paradigm change in the history of Socialist Eastern Europe, which saw the West through the lens of its consumer culture, rather than through the opposition between liberal democracy and socialism. Participation in popular consumer culture therefore took priority over any political needs. The book’s key argument is that Sarajevo’s success is an example of integration set against the dominant perception of fragmentation in 1980s Yugoslavia. Contrary to this deterministic outlook, Jovanovic shows how Yugoslav identity was celebrated (Slovene skiers were Yugoslavized, for example), new technologies, tourism and advertising were championed, and the benefits were real, not just a show. Sarajevo stood at the core of ‘New Yugoslavism’, a modern, futuristic, non-national identity. This compelling study of Sarajevo’s place in Yugoslavia during the 1980s sets the prevailing view of its history, characterized by the rise of ethnonationalism across the country, against an opposing trend that emerged in major Yugoslav cities and amongst the youth. The effect of Jovanovic’s book, therefore, is to overturn all the easily-drawn links between the two (or three) events that made Sarajevo globally famous (or notorious), to expose them as tenuous, or even tendentious.

family itself, and in particular on the contrasting treatment of brotherhood in the English and Russian novel. Part Two turns to ‘the historical factors that shaped the marriage plot’ (p. 21), with three chapters devoted to ideas about gender roles, the nature of courtship, and a particular Russian interest in the shortcomings of marriage as an institution. The two chapters constituting Part Three set aside conventional understandings of the family to address alternative models of kinship that go beyond blood and marriage, embracing instead ‘new kinds of family configurations’ (p. 23). If Berman’s overarching methodological claims lend her work its heuristic clarity, then her individual readings evince greater complexity and nuance. Alongside adroit and thoughtful readings of canonical family novels by Austen, Dickens and Trollope on the English side, and Tolstoi, Dostoevskii and Turgenev on the Russian, there are discussions of less familiar authors, particularly women. If female novelists have long been central to the English novel and its reputation, then Berman — generously building on the work of earlier generations of pioneering feminist critics — continues the important task of restoring writers such as Khvoshchinskaia and Tur to the canon. Some of the most productive readings proposed by Berman are those in which she draws on queer theory in order to arrive at a more complex and reflective understanding of relationship within and beyond the nuclear family. As she writes in her conclusion, ‘the nineteenth-century family novel can be a conservative story of marriage and reproductive fertility, but it can also be a story of breaking with the past and embracing the messy and unfinalizable present’ (p. 233). It is, perhaps, this gently disruptive spirit that best characterizes The Family Novel in Russia and England, 1800–1800. At a time when ‘traditional values’ are vigorously promoted by politicians around the globe and the nuclear family is vaunted as the essential building block of stable societies, Berman’s study reminds us of the messy contingency of human relations and the power of fiction to allow us to imagine alternative ways of understanding what really constitutes fellow feeling.

Abstract:Shooting societies organized by town citizens (burghers) were considered the traditional guardians of many autonomous settlements in Central Europe from the Middle Ages up to the late nineteenth century. In seeking to identify the causes of their decline in late Habsburg Hungary, this article draws attention to a variety of modernizing drives that undermined the stability of burgher marksmanship. One was the emerging Hungarian nation-state, which hindered the development of paramilitary citizen groups by limiting local self-governance and freedom of association. Another was the modern appeal to ethnic homogenization in the form of Magyarization. It aroused hostility towards the burgher riflemen because of their frequent use of the German language and loyalty to the Habsburgs, and not to the Magyar nation. Although the surviving burgher shooting societies had espoused Magyar nationalism by the early 1900s, they nonetheless maintained their elitism, excluding the growing urban populations from membership. At the same time, the burgher riflemen failed to engage sufficiently actively in rifle training to secure the support of the Defence Ministry and the radical Magyar nationalists. Instead, they remained traditional venues for socializing and networking for the increasingly isolated ennobled petty bourgeoisie. This created a situation where the burgher marksmen became marginal players not only in urban political life but also in Hungary's rapidly developing paramilitary culture. The story of the decline of the burgher shooting societies sheds new light on the ambiguities of modernization, but also demonstrates the weakness of societal militarization in pre-1914 Central Europe.

Abstract:In June 1912, Fedor Sergeev, a Russian Revolutionary who had made his way from Siberian exile to Australia, launched a weekly newspaper in Brisbane. Entitled Ekho Avstralii, it would cater to a community of Russian immigrants then said to number approximately 11,000. Sergeev sought by this means to give the immigrants a sense of communal identity and common purpose, and 'uphold the interests of the Russian-speaking worker in Australia'. This article reviews the newspaper's contents and draws attention to some of its journalists and contributors, including the poet Nikolai Il´in and Petr Simonov (later to be Consul), in the Australian context of the time.
