General information: The main task of the department of literary and artistic criticism is to train highly qualified specialists to create a literary basis in various types of literary and artistic creativity: literary and artistic criticism, prose, poetry. The qualifications of future specialists will allow them to work in the literary and journalistic fields of creative activity.

"Modern media strategies in the representation of culture and art."

The subject of scientific research of the Department of Literary and Artistic Criticism (the first head was Associate Professor L.P. Saenkova) is literary and artistic criticism, cultural issues in the media. The department has created creative workshops for future cultural observers, film critics, theater and literary critics, and fine art critics. Authoritative specialists, famous critics in the field of various types of art work here: literature, theater, painting, cinema - L. P. Saenkova-Melnitskaya, P. V. Vasyuchenko, G. B. Bogdanova. Among the teachers of the department are not only well-known theorists, but also practitioners - editors of specialized publications, cultural observers.
The center of creative unity of students who showed interest in art was the “Krytyk” circle, which later became a student research laboratory. For many years, its members produced specialized educational newspapers, on the pages of which student materials about art appeared in a variety of genres. For many years now, the Department of Literary and Artistic Criticism has been publishing a unique publication - the annual almanac of student literary and artistic creativity “Autograph” (more than 20 issues have already been published, most of which were prepared under the leadership of Professor E. L. Bondareva). The names of many students who first appeared on the pages of this publication are today the pride of Belarusian culture: Ivan Chigrinov, Ivan Ptashnikov, Boris Sachenko, Anatol Vertinsky, Igor Dobrolyubov and others.

Student participants in the laboratory (under the guidance of Associate Professor V.A. Kaptsev) are also preparing issues of the literary and artistic newspaper “Perya”. Master classes of famous Belarusian writers and creative meetings were timed to coincide with the release of some issues. The department provides teaching of disciplines of humanitarian and cultural profile: “Literary and artistic criticism”, “Cultural studies”, “Art history”, “Belarusian literature”, “Russian literature”, courses on the profile - “Theater critic”, “Film critic”, “Literary critic”, “Fine art critic”.

There are only one purely literary institute in our country. As, indeed, throughout the entire globe. There are many pedagogical institutes where Russian language and literature are taught in the process of training school teachers. There are also many universities that have a journalism department. But a writer and a journalist are two completely different “birds”. Writers study at only one university in the country, and this is the Gorky Literary Institute.

Predecessor

It existed for a short time and for a long time. The so-called Bryusov Institute is a specialized university that opened in Moscow in 1921 on the initiative of V. Ya. Bryusov. Poets, writers, fiction writers, critics, playwrights and translators trained there. Everything was the same as in Gorky, only the studies lasted not five, but three years.

Higher Literary and Art Institute named after V.Ya. Bryusov included the studio of Lito Narkompros, also organized by Valery Yakovlevich, literary courses at the Palace of Arts and most of the State Institute of Words. A year later, the Vocational and Technical School of Poetry also joined there, where almost all the VLHI teachers worked, including Bryusov himself. In 1924, the institute finally received his name - in connection with the widely celebrated anniversary of the poet.

In January 1925, the Moscow Housing Commission decided to transfer a number of universities to Leningrad due to unbearable overcrowding. VLHI was unable to move because all forty teachers, except two, sabotaged the change of residence. Thus the institute was liquidated. Students completed their studies at other universities. The Gorky Literary Institute was created taking into account the sad experience of its predecessor. And, I must admit, the mistakes were not repeated.

IZHT

The Institute of Journalism and Literary Creativity cannot in any way be called a literary institute. This educational institution is not state-owned, although it has state accreditation and a license, and graduates are awarded state-issued diplomas. The Institute of Journalism and Literary Creativity has only one area of study - journalism. There are also preparatory courses. There is no budgetary basis for training. Students choose part-time, part-time and full-time forms of study.

Literary Institute named after A. M. Gorky

This university has always belonged entirely to the Ministry of Culture, and since 1992 it has been under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation. There are two faculties here - correspondence and full-time. Full-time students master a five-year specialty program: “Literary Creativity” and “Translation of Fiction.”

Specialists are trained in absentia for six years and in one specialty - “Literary Creativity”. The literary translation department trains future translators from English, German, French, Spanish, Italian and Korean. There are also postgraduate and doctoral studies in the following specialties: “Russian Language”, “Theory of Literature” and “Russian Literature”.

How it all began

The initiator of the creation of the Literary Institute was Maxim Gorky. At first the university was the Evening Workers' Literary University, but only in 1933 it received its name, which it retains to this day.

During the war, in 1942, the institute began training full-time and part-time students. In 1953, full-time two-year Higher Literary Courses were opened for established writers who needed to expand their humanitarian knowledge and broaden their horizons. In 1983, the Literary Institute was awarded the high Order of Friendship of Peoples.

Location

Literary institutes with a pedagogical profile are located in different areas of Moscow, some in historical ones, but it is simply impossible to find a more iconic place for the location of the Gorky Literary Institute. This is an architectural monument of the eighteenth century, a city estate on Tverskoy Boulevard, where A. I. Herzen was born in 1812. And in the forties of the nineteenth here, in the literary salon, Gogol, Belinsky, Aksakovs, Chaadaev, Baratynsky, Khomyakov, Shchepkin and many other legendary personalities were regulars.

Just before the beginning of the twentieth century, a publishing house was located here, and in the twenties - numerous writers' organizations. Literary evenings were held with the participation of Mayakovsky, Blok, Yesenin. This building is described in detail by Herzen, Bulgakov, Mandelstam. Here, right in this building, Vyacheslav Ivanov, Daniil Andreev, Osip Mandelstam, Andrei Platonov lived, as reported by memorial plaques on the building. There is a monument to Herzen in the courtyard.

Teachers

The teachers at the Literary Institute have always been and remain stellar; no other literary institute could simply bring together renowned masters in such numbers. Alexander Zinoviev, Konstantin Paustovsky, Mikhail Svetlov, Lev Oshanin, Lev Ozerov, Yuri Kuznetsov, Yuri Mineralov and many other equally famous writers, poets, playwrights taught here. Lectures were given by famous scientists: I. Tolstoy, V. Asmus, A. Reformatsky, G. Vinokur, A. Taho-Godi, S. Radzig, S. Bondi, B. Tomashevsky, V. Kozhinov and no less worthy others.

And now creative seminars are conducted by the most famous and beloved writers: Sergei Nikolaevich Esin - head of the department of literary excellence, Samid Sakhibovich Agaev, Yuri Sergeevich Apenchenko, Sergei Sergeevich Arutyunov, Andrei Venediktovich Vorontsov, Andrei Vitalievich Vasilevsky, Alexey Nikolaevich Varlamov - acting rector of the Literary Institute, Anatoly Vasilyevich Korolev, Ruslan Timofeevich Kireev, Vladimir Andreevich Kostrov, Stanislav Yurievich Kunyaev, Gennady Nikolaevich Krasnikov, Vladimir Yurievich Malyagin, Alexander Alexandrovich Mikhailov, Olesya Alexandrovna Nikolaeva, Oleg Olegovich Pavlov, Alexander Evseevich Rekemchuk, Evgeniy Borisovich Rein, Inna Ivanovna Rostovtsev a, Galina Ivanovna Sedykh, Evgeny Yuryevich Sidorov, Alexander Yuryevich Segen, Sergey Petrovich Tolkachev, Alexander Petrovich Toroptsev, Marietta Omarovna Chudakova. Never before have literary institutes had such a constellation of masters.

For applicants - creative competition

Only those who have passed a creative competition and passed the entrance exams can enter the Literary Institute. People enter the pedagogical literary institutes of Moscow using the Unified State Exam, and they also enter universities for journalism. Here the competition takes place in three stages. First, applicants send their creative works in the chosen direction: twenty (at least) pages of prose text, or two hundred lines of poetry, or twenty pages in literary criticism, drama, essays and journalism, as well as in literary translation. This test is carried out without the participation of the applicant; moreover, he submits untitled work, so there can be no preconceived opinion. The Literary Pedagogical Institute does not pose such complex but interesting creative tasks to the applicant.

And only after this can you get the opportunity to pass the remaining subjects on the Unified State Exam (written or oral). This is traditionally Russian literature, Russian language, Russian history. If the commission is satisfied with the creative work and passing the exams, the future student is invited to the second stage of the creative competition - this is a written sketch. Next comes the interview, the most important moment for those who have passed the first two stages. Neither universities nor pedagogical literary institutes in Russia conduct such a thorough selection of applicants. Creative competitions exist, in addition to the Literary Institute, only for applicants who have chosen a profession in the field of theater, cinema, or in universities of architectural and artistic fields.

Seminars

Students are trained in two directions in parallel. This is a general humanities course - with an emphasis on literary studies and the Russian language, as well as a creative one. The development of creativity occurs during workshops. Other literary institutions, if they existed, would probably work the same way - the form is the most optimal.

Seminars are always held on Tuesdays - traditionally. On this day, no other classes are planned for the student - only a seminar, the leader of which is necessarily a Master.

This is always a day of great excitement and nerves, often tears, sometimes quarrels. However, the opposite also happens. The only pity is that there is no opportunity to attend other people’s seminars, because everything is at the same time. You can’t miss yours, it’s the best anyway. Seminars at the Literary Institute were always led by major Soviet writers. Now the largest writers in Russia. The same seminars are held for students of the Higher Literary Courses, which the author of this article was lucky enough to graduate from. Students of the Higher School of Literary Translation also study on Tuesdays. It should be noted that the Literary Institute has courses for editors and proofreaders.

International activity

The cooperation of this university with foreign colleagues is developing systematically, in accordance with the country’s policy in terms of strengthening the authority of our higher school in the international arena. Both scientific and academic connections are expanding significantly, the university is striving to enter the educational space of Europe in order to integrate graduates and students into the global literary process.

The best achievements of Russian literature are promoted in foreign countries and the CIS countries. There are connections with such universities as Trinity College in Ireland, the University of Cologne in Germany, the University of Bergamo in Italy, Joseon and Konkuk Universities in the Republic of Korea, Paris 8 University in France, and Suzhou University in China. Also, the Russia-Korea cultural center has been operating at the Literary Institute for a long time. Every year, foreign students graduate from this creative university among the students of the Russian Federation - both from the CIS countries and from abroad.

Departments

The Literary Institute occupies the top level of the ranking of Russian universities in terms of the ratio of professors to students: for every two students there is one teacher with an academic degree. What literary institutions can boast of such a ratio?

Most of the teachers here are world famous. The teachers of the Department of Literary Excellence are listed above, the names are so significant that it is hardly possible to add any delights that have not yet been voiced, everything has already happened.

Two departments of literature

An absolutely magical department with the magnificent professor Boris Nikolaevich Tarasov at the head, with the associate professor - the eloquent Tatyana Borisovna Gvozdeva, with the charming professor Stanislav Bemovich Dzhimbinov, with the wonderful Anita Borisovna Mozhaeva, associate professor... During their lectures, the bewitched students' pens fall out of their hands. What other literary institutes might be needed if this one exists?

The department of Russian classical literature and Slavic studies, headed by Professor Mikhail Yuryevich Stoyanovsky, is in no way inferior. All the teachers there are wonderful, but who can compare with Professor Anatoly Sergeevich Demin? All other literary institutes in Moscow do not have creative educational directions, and the teachers at the Literary Institute are also special.

Department of Social Sciences

Here, under the leadership of Professor Lyudmila Mikhailovna Tsareva, all sorts of miracles also happen: even students overflowing with poetry begin to adore economics and political science if lectures are given by Associate Professor Natalya Nikolaevna Kutafina, and understand historical events if they communicate with Alexander Sergeevich Orlov, the author of excellent textbooks and director of the Museum of History Lomonosov Moscow State University. What a pleasure it is to communicate with Olga Vyacheslavovna Zaitseva on topics of philosophy and aesthetics after class! Almost the same as listening to her lectures - mesmerizing!

In this department (and probably in others too) there are simply no unforgettable teachers. Literary institutes in Russia, aimed at studying pedagogy or journalism, may also have good teachers of social sciences. But the teachers here are also highly creative.

Department of Contemporary Russian Literature

The most artistic of the institute’s teachers, Professor Vladimir Pavlovich Smirnov, is in charge here; students will probably remember his lectures all their lives. Excellent lectures are given by Professor Boris Andreevich Leonov (also, according to students, one of their favorite lecturers), associate professors Igor Ivanovich Bolychev and Fedyakin. In the field of “current” literature, there are simply no specialists more authoritative than the employees of this department - neither in Russia nor in the world. Moscow literary institutes with a pedagogical rather than a creative orientation are unlikely to be able to unite so many highly professional teachers under their roof.

Department of Literary Theory and Literary Criticism

There are only three people here, but what kind! Applicants need to fight with all their might against the high (very high!) competition when entering the Literary Institute, if only for the sake of walking along the same corridors. The department is headed by Professor Vladimir Ivanovich Gusev. He is an outstanding literary scholar and literary critic. Chairman of the Board of the Moscow city organization of the Union of Writers of Russia. He is a member of the secretariat of the executive committee of the International Society of Writers' Unions and is the editor-in-chief of the Moskovsky Vestnik magazine. An excellent lecturer, the smartest person.

Associate professors Sergei Mikhailovich Kaznacheev and Alexey Konstantinovich Antonov are each interesting in their own way. Their deep knowledge of the material allows them to lecture with such inspiration that students cannot take notes because they only want to watch and listen. S. M. Kaznacheev held several scientific and practical conferences called “New Realism”. A.K. Antonov has fundamental knowledge of the theory of criticism and literary criticism and has enormous talent as a lecturer. He reads not only to students, but also to graduate students and students of Higher Literary Courses. Wrote a number of textbooks on literary theory.

In addition to the above, the Literary Institute has three more departments: Russian language and stylistics, foreign languages, literary translation. And the teachers at each of them are exceptional.

The department is confident that its scientific interests are the latest Russian literature of the 20th and 21st centuries, theoretical aspects of literature, problems of historical and theoretical poetics, principles of typological analysis of literary texts, problems of studying the literatures of the peoples of Russia- a worthy and high object of study, the relevance of which will only increase.

Through its activities, the department contributes to the preservation of the best traditions of fundamental university education, one of which remains the priority of the theoretical approach in teaching the latest literature.

In 2011, the department opened a bachelor’s training profile “Applied Philology” (Russian language).
This profile provides for the preparation of bachelors for work in the field of communication, publishing, cultural institutions and management. The profile ensures the acquisition of professional skills in multidimensional work with various types of texts (creation, interpretation, examination, transformation, distribution of artistic, journalistic, official business, scientific, etc. texts) and the implementation of linguistic, interpersonal and interethnic written and oral communication.

YEAR OF LITERATURE: RESULTS OF THE DEPARTMENT’S WORK

This year has become significant for the department of Russian literature of the twentieth century and literary theory, for which participation in educational, educational and educational projects of the university, city and republic is a tradition. These are International on-line readings “Chekhov is alive” (ass. Zhirkov D.D.), organization of the contact session “Vivat, student”, university intellectual quiz “Vivat, teacher”, public lectures. Also, anyone can become a full participant in the Internet forum “Dialogues about Literature” on the website of the Faculty of Philology. Students work in the scientific circles “Audiovisual aspects of Russian literature of the twentieth century” and “Autograph”, and participate in theatrical seminars on the works of classical writers.

As part of the project “Anniversaries of Russian Literature,” a university competition of literary video projects “February. Get Ink" and the literary evening "Pasternak. Second Birth", dedicated to the 120th anniversary of the birth of Boris Pasternak. Also for the anniversary of I.A. Brodsky applied science students made a popular science film “Brodsky in Yakutia” and developed a literary website about the poet’s work.

The author’s project “Literary Yakutsk” by S.F. Zhelobtsova was successful, which opened the literary biography of the capital. On bus excursions, schoolchildren, students, guests of the university and the republic get acquainted with the work of great poets of the 20th century - Joseph Brodsky, Sergei Mikhalkov, Evgeny Yevtushenko, Andrey Voznesensky, Valentin Rasputin. The literary route included the realities of toponymic symbols in the novel “Cold” by the creative Russian writer Andrei Gelasimov, dedicated to his “small” homeland.

At the City Classical Gymnasium of Yakutsk, as part of the Year of Literature and the anniversary of the faculty, a lecture was held by the professor of the department, Khazankovich Yu. The stated topic is “Do we know literature?” turned out to be resonant and aroused genuine interest among both the children and literature teachers. As part of the public lecture, a virtual tour of the works of Arctic writers and literary places in the city of Yakutsk took place, and career guidance work was also carried out with high school students.

On November 9, participants of the All-Russian conference “Issues of teaching Russian as a non-native language in a multi-ethnic educational environment” visited the tourist complex “The Kingdom of Permafrost”. Associate Professor Zhelobtsova S.F. showed guests of the Faculty of Philology from Moscow, St. Petersburg, Altai, Khanty-Mansiysk, Kemerovo, Vladivostok and others the realities of the environs of Yakutsk, which became toponymic signs of the North in Andrei Gelasimov’s novel “Cold,” dedicated to his “small homeland.”

The discussion club “Vivat, student” regularly organizes meetings of students and faculty members with literary critics, poets, and famous public figures. So, on April 4 this year, a meeting was held with the prose writer A. Gelasimov.

The department’s website contains a blog “Dialogues about Literature”, opened by a forum for discussing F. Bondarchuk’s film “Stalingrad”. Associate Professor S.F. Zhelobtsova, starting from the original film source of V. Grossman’s novel “Life and Fate,” proposed a number of questions. The answers, remarks, summaries of site visitors are distinguished by a fresh look at history, a polemical assessment of a feature film, and the civic and patriotic feelings of our contemporaries.

In the city library. V.G. Belinsky, 02/26/2015, a presentation of the lecture project “New Prose of Russia” took place.

On February 12, 2015, at the IMI NEFU, an assembly lecture was held on current problems of modern literature.

As part of the All-Russian Scientific Conference dedicated to the 80th anniversary of philological education in the Republic of Sakha (Ya), the work of the section “Theoretical aspects of the literature of the twentieth century: on the 120th anniversary of the birth of M.M. Bakhtin” was organized. During the section, presentations of scientific research on the poetics of the author’s word in the novel, on the problems of the artistic mode, “private” literary issues within the framework of the study of the fundamental works of M.M.

Teaching literature and research work in the field of literary criticism have been carried out at Kuban State University since its founding. For many years, the educational and scientific division of literary critics and teachers was called the department of literature. In the 1960s it was divided into three: the department of Russian literature, the department of Soviet literature, and the department of foreign literature. From 1982 to 1993, there was a general department of Russian and Soviet literature, and in 1993, the department of modern Russian literature and criticism was separated from it. In 2011, on the basis of existing departments, the Department of History of Russian Literature, Literary Theory and Criticism was created.

Head of the department - Evgenia Alekseevna Zhirkova, Doctor of Philology, Professor.
