Ballet as a Form of Protest: The Protest Content of the (Post-)Folkloric Motif

The protest semantics of humorous expressions persist over time, regardless of genre or historical context. During the lecture Sergei Troitskiy (Estonian Literary Museum, Tartu) will focus on a specific set of motifs related to ballet, their transformations, and mutual influences. The Soviet ideological myth of the USSR's supremacy in ballet and the active promotion of ballet among the Soviet public led to Swan Lake being broadcasted on television during critical moments of late Soviet history, which resulted in its association with the death of communist leaders. This semantic connection became the basis of late Soviet jokes and could have remained there. This meaning was evident and has been repeatedly mentioned in the interpretation of specific humorous folkloric works. However, this motif gained popularity in the late 2000s and became particularly relevant in the 2010s and early 2020s as an allegorical expression of the desire for change (the death of a dictator). The full-scale invasion and the resistance of Russians to Putin and the war in Ukraine have turned this motif into an element of protest pop culture. In turn, protest pop culture has stimulated the development of new forms of this folkloric motif. All of them thematize ballet in the context of protest expression, making it a tool of resistance.
On Books Giving Day, we invite our academic friends and colleagues to our Books’n’Chill evening!

We look forward to a thoughtful and enjoyable evening with tea, wine, and a presentation about our projects and plans, as well as a discussion of our shared aspirations.

In the spirit of Books Giving Day, we would be grateful for any book donations to help build our small academic library. Above all, we’re eager to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere and connect with fellow social scientists and humanitarians at YCIE!
On Books Giving Day, YCIE hosted its first Books'n'Chill evening. Colleagues and friends, specialists in the social sciences and humanities from various research centers, projects, and universities across Yerevan, gathered to share insights into their research and future plans. It was fun!

As a reminder, Now in Russian is a podcast series where scholars speak in Russian about their research, which they usually present in other languages. It’s also about their big dreams and small joys.
Enjoy!
