Everyday Cultre:Russian People

Everyday Culture of the Russian People

Despite the gradual disappearance of a more rural style of life, urbanization, and globalization, traditional folk values and ethno-cultural idiosyncrasies continue to affect the lives of modern Russians. This course will focus on the ethics and aesthetics of the Russian people as they are manifested in everyday life and holidays.

The course will consist of five thematic parts: (1) labor and economics of the Russian village;
(2) the typology and semantics of the traditional home; (3) family and marriage among Russians; (4) Russian views on beauty; and (5) Russian artistic crafts and folklore.
