Escaping the Discipline: Mind, Body, and Behavior in Early Soviet Biomedical and Psychological Discourses
Sun, November 24, 8:00 to 9:45am EST (8:00 to 9:45am EST), Boston Marriott Copley Place, Floor: 1st Floor, Columbus 2Session Submission Type: Panel
Brief Description
This panel examines a variety of early Soviet biomedical and psychological discourses as reflected in film and theatrical theory from the period. Our investigations take us through documentary health enlightenment films, popular-science genre films, and essays on theater by Soviet psychologists. We trace an ideological shift from the 1920s to Stalinist culture as the background on which these discourses unfold. We also reflect on the media of film and theater as conveyers of psychological and biomedical discourse.
