Andrey

Platonov’sMelancholia and the

Philosophy of the Subject

Professor Artemy Magun, European University of Saint Petersburg

The work of Andrey Platonov, the greatest Russian prose writer of

the 20th century, is famously paradoxical.

Being an enthusiast of revolution, Platonov praises it in the gloomy, melancholic, and almost apocalyptic stories. But, in the global context, this is not so surprising: melancholia has always accompanied revolutions because one of their projects has been the retro-active constitution of subjectivity.

The talk explores the revolutionary subjectivity in drawing on the studies of Platonov’s aesthetics (in particular, O. Meerson’s famous study of «non-estrangement»), and on psychoanalytic theory. It concludes with the attempt at a systematic theory of negative aesthetics.
