A singular mix of Russian and American academia presents this
cultural cabaret in Richard Stites's memory. Topics include:
theater, linguistics, soccer, jokes, cartoons, film, cars, tattoos,
and Reality TV. Richard Stites devoted his remarkable talents,
energy, and discipline to studying and writing about Russian
culture, both highbrow and popular, and his pioneering efforts
affected the intellectual landscape in both American and
post-Soviet space. And so a singular mix of Russian and American
academia presents this cultural cabaret in Richard's memory and
honor: a pioneering feminist male writer; Eurasianism's influence
on the development of linguistics; pre-World War II Moscow soccer
and its fans; the contextual dynamics of a mid-1930's anti-Stalin
joke; the conflicted, 108-year life of a legendary Soviet
cartoonist; the imagined story behind the banning of a realistic,
female-directed film; an exposition and explanation of Richard's
own impact; the paradox of late Soviet private automobile
consumption; the counter-cultural semiotics of criminal tattoos;
the banal, profitable world of 21st-century Reality TV; and an
eloquent closing tribute.
