The Image Responds: Photographic Aura in Aleksandr Ivanov’s “Stereoscope”
Journal of Modern Literature. 2022. Vol. 45. No. 3. P. 53–71.
The narrator-protagonist of Aleksandr Ivanov’s novella “Stereoscope. A Twilight Story” (1909) stumbles upon a portal into a three-dimensional photographic world—the uncanny “ bygone spaces” that cause him to veer between “ fear” and nostalgic “rapture.” These emotions are contradictory but also inseparable, which becomes clear when the narrator’s experiences are read through the lens of Walter Benjamin’s concept of aura. The story as a whole prefigures Benjamin’s “definition of the aura as the aura of distance opened up with the look that awakens in an object perceived”: the photograph in “Stereoscope” is endowed with a gaze, at once threatening and beguiling, that saps the protagonist’s agency. Because Ivanov’s text seeks to enact the protagonist’s adventures for the reader, the“Twilight Story” not only testifies to the enduring power of the photographic image, but also showcases the auratic possibilities of language.

This article addresses the epistemological transformations of knowledge about the Other under platform culture. It examines the shift from the communicative experience of presence to a data regime in which otherness is constituted through predictive classification and interface routing. The platform is conceptualized as a system that presents the subject with an already-categorized Other, thereby ...

This book is a metaphysical inquiry into the nature and origin of the manifold. Taking Schelling’s Erlangen lectures of 1820–1821 as its point of departure and hermeneutic horizon, it develops an interpretation of Nomos that transcends its political, juridical, and social determinations. Nomos thereby emerges as the ontological principle of an infinite, variegated multiplicity of ...

Новая книга Д. Файзова пронизана голосами других поэтов. Речь не о расхожей постмодернистской центонности. Это микроинтертекстуальность на уровне конкретных слов и приемов, коллаж осколков чужих голосов, однако таких осколков, которые сохраняют способность отсылать к целому и к тому же вписаны — вклеены на манер аппликации — в узнаваемую интонацию самого поэта.

В обзоре интеллектуальное наследие В.И. Вернадского (1863-1945) рассматривается в контексте зарубежных инвайронментальных исследований (преимущественно на материале англоязычных публикаций двух последних десятилетий). Реконструируются ключевые идейные истоки мировоззрения Вернадского: влияние В.В. Докучаева, русского космизма и концепции ноосферы П. Тейяра де Шардена. Анализируются понятия научной системы Вернадского - «живое вещество», «биосфера» и «ноосфера»; прослеживается их рецепция в современных ...

In his essay "On Photography," the prominent German media theorist Vilém Flusser (1920-1991) asks whether human freedom is possible in the information society, in a world dominated by cameras, where our thoughts, feelings, desires, and actions are robotized. The photographer's intentions are inscribed within the strictly limited corridor of the camera's program—a black box simulating ...

Since the concept of charisma entered into the language of social sciences and political practice, there have been significant evolutions and variations in its functioning. Max Weber himself distinguished «true» and routinized charisma, not arguing, however, that the routinization of charisma could lead to its complete disappearance as a type of domination. Nevertheless, by the ...

The article critically addresses Boris Groys’ interpretation of the photographs by Alexandre Kojève. In 2012, Groys organized the exhibition After History: Alexandre Kojève as a Photographer, which intended to demonstrate the “posthistorical” dimension in Kojève’s artistic output. The article questions the adequacy of that perspective, given the somewhat tendentious curatorial presentation of the photos as showing ...
