For Class on Thursday

In our F2F meeting on Thursday we will continue to move in to our networked course, talk about Realism in Russian art and literature, and consider what we mean by “culture.” In addition to setting up your blog, please read Raymond Williams’ KEYWORD definition of culture, and have a look at the intro “Icons and Archetypes” in the Russian Reader and the selections on “Bathing the Russian Way” (pp. 40-53), “A Cosmopolitan Project” (pp. 40-53), and “Classic Russian Cooking” (pp. 128-133).  If you have time to start reading the Fitzpatrick book (pp. 1-39), that would be great as well.
