Ryan’s paper combined nineteenth-century Russian literature and philosophy, using concepts originally introduced by Hegel and further elucidated in Kierkegaard\u2019s On the Concept of Irony<\/em> to explore the opposition between Western and “Eastern” (or Russian) values in Fyodor Dostoevsky’s early work White Nights. <\/em><\/p>

The departments of Russian Studies and Asian Languages and Cultures at Macalaster worked together to create an amazing undergraduate conference. Students from Macalester as well as Carleton, Claremont McKenna, Grinnell, Gustavus Adolphus, and St. Olaf shared their intellectual discoveries with one <\/div><\/div>another.\n\n\n\n

Everyone enjoyed the thought-provoking scholarly panels, a stimulating keynote talk titled \u201cFinding the Universal: Modernism and Cultural Encounters\u201d by Dr. Jinyi Chu of Yale University, and a beautiful musical performance featuring Miles Rakov on violin and Wendy Zheng on yangqin. After the panels, participants gathered at the Chinese House for tea and pastries from Kramarczuk\u2019s East European deli.<\/div><\/div><\/p>\n\n\n\n
