She is the author of The Imposition of Form: Studies in Narrative Representation and Knowledge (1987), Lines of Thought: Discourse, Architectonics, and the Origin of Modern Philosophy (1996), and several articles on German, French, and English literature and philosophy from the Enlightenment through the present.

Lines of Thought: Discourse, Architectonics, and the Origin of Modern Philosophy (Paperback)
by Claudia Brodsky Lacour (Author)

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
It is considerably easier to say that modern philosophy began with Descartes than it is to define the modernity and philosophy to which Descartes gave rise. In Lines of Thought, Claudia Brodsky Lacour describes the double origin of modern philosophy in Descartes’s Discours de la méthode and Géométrie, works whose interrelation, she argues, reveals the specific nature of the modern in his thought. Her study examines the roles of discourse and writing in Cartesian method and intuition, and the significance of graphic architectonic form in the genealogy of modern philosophy.
While Cartesianism has long served as a synonym for rationalism, the contents of Descartes’s method and cogito have remained infamously resistant to rational analysis. Similarly, although modern phenomenological analyses descend from Descartes’s notion of intuition, the “things” Cartesian intuitions represent bear no resemblance to phenomena. By returning to what Descartes calls the construction of his “foundation” in the Discours, Brodsky Lacour identifies the conceptual problems at the root of Descartes’s literary and aesthetic theory as well as epistemology. If, for Descartes, linear extension and “I” are the only “things” we can know exist, the Cartesian subject of thought, she shows, derives first from the intersection of discourse and drawing, representation and matter. The crux of that intersection, Brodsky Lacour concludes, is and must be the cogito, Descartes’s theoretical extension of thinking into material being. Describable in accordance with the Géométrie as a freely constructed line of thought, the cogito, she argues, extends historically to link philosophy with theories of discursive representation and graphic delineation after Descartes. In conclusion, Brodsky Lacour analyzes such a link in the writings of Claude Perrault, the architectural theorist whose reflections on beauty helped shape the seventeenth-century dispute between “the ancients and the moderns.”
Part of a growing body of literary and interdisciplinary considerations of philosophical texts, Lines of Thought will appeal to theorists and historians of literature, architecture, art, and philosophy, and those concerned with the origin and identity of the modern.

From the Back Cover

“An engaging and original piece of work—a very good book. Lines of Thought will take a respected place amongst interdisciplinary studies of philosophy.”—Jonathan Ree, Middlesex University

“An excellent, highly disciplined reading; a truly interdisciplinary achievement. One of the most striking qualities of this book is the way in which Brodsky Lacour opens up broader historical, philosophical, and literary perspectives, pertaining particularly to present discussions of Modernity and deconstruction, by strictly pursuing her rigorous reading of Descartes’s and Perrault’s texts. The basis for such a mediation is the author’s excellent literary analyses and her impressive understanding of philosophical and mathematical issues. In thinking through the figures of line and architecture in and as thought and discourse, she unfolds a certain construction of modern subjectivity and contemporary theoretical problems in a highly illuminating way.”—Rainer Nagele, The Johns Hopkins University

First Proclamation of Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity, page 17

Much of the world’s most valuable
heritage takes the form of artistic
performances that are continually recreated
and adapted to changing conditions.
Often these art forms themselves play
important roles in shaping contemporary
ways of life.

The Cultural Space and Oral Culture of the Semeiskie

RUSSIAN FEDERATION

The Semeiskie, a community of Old Believers, live today in a
remote area of the Transbaikal region. They are a confessional
community inside Russia and possess their own specific elements
of culture and their own group consciousness. The Semeiskie,
“those who live as a family”, are Old Believers, loyal to the
pre-seventeenth century orthodox cult. The history of the
Semeiskie is marked by repression, persecution and exile, first of
all at the Instigation of the orthodox Church after the schism in
the seventeenth century, and then under the Soviet regime.
After settling in the isolation of Siberia in the reign of Catherine
the Great, they managed to preserve the culture of their respective
geographical origins and the Russian way of life of those
times. The Semeiskie speak a south Russian dialect borrowed
from Belorussian, Ukrainian and Buryat and have a life style
that is characterized by the cult of the family, strong moral
principles, traditional dress, and a traditional and particular
style of building and decoration. The choirs, who perform traditional
songs at family celebrations and popular festivals, have
their roots in the Russian liturgical music of the Middle Ages.
These are a unique example of polyphonic singing, known as
“drawl” singing.
Because of economic and social factors and the pressure from
new technologies, several elements of this culture are tending to
become standardized and even to disappear altogether. The
number of Old Believers, and therefore of experts in the knowledge
and traditions, IS in constant decline. While there is a real
will to protect this heritage (as is shown by the creation of the
“Semeiskie Cultural Centre” in the village of Tarbagatay), the
weakness of budgetary resources places a severe limitation on
the effectiveness of any action. The plan makes provision for
effective support for the activities of associations such as the
“Semerskie Cultural Centre” as well as a series of legal and practical
measures aimed at preserving, supporting and promoting
the heritage of the Semeiskie. This plan therefore focuses on
scientific research (study programmes, conferences), the continuity
of popular traditions (the creation of museums of history
and ethnography, the awarding of scholarships and the introduction
of elements of Semeiskie culture in the school syllabus),
promotional activities (the celebration of festivals in the
Semeiskie calendar) and a publications programme (publication
of academic studies and history textbooks).

The current documentary ‘The Republic of Buryatia’ has been released to go on with the series ‘The Geographical Video Encyclopedia’
The film excitingly tells us about the history, modern ethnography, nature and economy of the region. This territory accommodates Lake Baikal neighbouring the ranges of the Sayan Mountains and quite different cultures peacefully co-existing side by side. The authors of the film will take you to Buddistic holidays celebrated at the principal datsan (lamasery monastery) of Russia, you will get acquainted with the Buryats’ customs and cuisine, and you will attend the real shamanistic actions. In Russian villages you are expected to meet Russian Old Believers exiled to Transbaikal territories by Katherine the Great, they have still preserved that life style since then, in the taiga you are also expected to meet Tungus people who are traditional reindeer-breeders and hunters for fur animals. You will also visit the town of Kakhta, you will see Lake Baikal and learn about the basic economic enterprises of the region. The film will be interesting to all who want to enjoy a closer acquaintance with this unique region of Russia.

Russian region to host international Old Believer festival

Ulan-Ude, January 25, Interfax - The Russian republic of Buryatia will play host on May 30 - June 3, 2007, to a planned international festival of Old Believers, followers of an Orthodox Christian movement that has rejected 17th-century reforms in the Russian Orthodox Church.
The reforms rejected by the Old Believers were ritual and textual innovations aimed at achieving uniformity between Russian and Greek Orthodox practices. They were introduced in 1652 by the then head of the Russian Church, Patriarch Nikon.
The festival, to be styled "Meeting of Old Believers of the World," would comprise events in the Buryat capital Ulan-Ude and other parts of the republic designed to maintain and promote all the religious and cultural traditions of the Old Believers, the Buryat government said.
The festival's program includes the fifth international conference entitled "Old Believer Movement: Its History and Present, Its Local Traditions, and Its Russian and Foreign Contacts," a children's festival of Old Believer songs, traditional competition games, exhibitions, and presentations of tourist itineraries.
The foundation stone will be laid during the festival for a church and memorial signs will be put up along a route traversed in the trans-Baikal area by Archpriest Avvakum, a famous 17th-century Old Believer leader.
Preparations for the festival are to include the publication of an album on Old Believer history and culture and a video film.
"This event should become an important consolidating factor in the cultural development of the Old Believers and a celebration for the entire population of Buryatia," the Buryat government said.

ВСТРЕЧА СТАРООБРЯДЦЕВ МИРА «ПУТЬ АВВАКУМА» ПРОЙДЕТ В БУРЯТИИ
Улан-Удэ, 6 марта 2007 г.

Встреча старообрядцев мира «Путь Аввакума» пройдет в Бурятии с 30 мая по 3 июня под эгидой ЮНЕСКО. В рамках этого мероприятия планируется проведение пятой международной научно-практической конференции «Старообрядчество: история и современность. Российские и зарубежные связи». Как отметил на расширенном заседании оргкомитета заместитель председателя правительства по развитию социальной сферы Степан Ефимов, для проведения встречи на достойном уровне необходимо выделить из республиканского бюджета еще 6,7 млн. рублей, сообщает сайт «Восток-Телеинформ»
По его словам, на приглашение принять участие во встрече старообрядцев уже прислали положительные ответы представители республик Коми и Алтай, Читинской области, также ожидается приезд участников из США, Австралии, Румынии, Чехии, Польши, Японии, Латвии, Украины и Казахстана.
«Уже разработана культурная часть мероприятия, ответственным за это выбран республиканский центр народного творчества. Мы проведем гала-концерт фольклорного фестиваля «Раздайся, корогод!». Во встрече примут участие все районы Бурятии. В Посольске и Тарбагатае будут заложены камни - в начале пути протопопа Аввакума по Забайкалью, также в Улан-Удэ будет заложен камень на месте возведения храма Рождества»,- отметил Степан Ефимов.
Кроме того, ко времени проведения встречи будут выпущены фотоальбом «Старообрядцы Забайкалья» и вторая часть хрестоматии по истории семейских в Забайкалье. Разрабатывается туристический маршрут «Тропа Аввакума».
На проведение встречи в республиканском бюджете заложено 7 млн. 335 тыс. рублей. Но как пояснил Ефимов, этой суммы не хватит «для проведения мероприятия на уровне прошлогодней «Алтарганы», которую все очень высоко оценили».
«Надо увеличить сумму на 6, 7 млн. рублей - на проживание и питание, помощь местным администрациям и покупку призов», - подчеркнул Степан Ефимов.
Как отметил президент Бурятии Леонид Потапов, встреча старообрядцев мира - одно из крупных событий и провести его необходимо на очень высоком уровне.
«По финансам, я думаю, Народный Хурал нас поддержит. И надо выходить на спонсоров. Я готов сам подписать письма к ним - думаю, никто не откажет», - подчеркнул президент.

The beloved American soprano Renee Fleming joins with Russian baritone Dmitri Hvorostovsky for this broadcast of Tchaikovsky’s lyrical Eugene Onegin. The sweeping dramatic arc of this opera – youthful longing, rejection, regret, a desperate plea that comes too late – is perfectly mirrored in Tchaikovsky’s achingly beautiful music and in the gorgeous lighting of this strikingly minimal production.

Screenparty: You’re Invited!

Postcard: ScreenParty, Hosted by Cameron Bailey

I was pretty excited to read an invitation from Vladimir Milman to the “Screenparty," a cast and crew screening hosted by Cameron Bailey. It will be this Sunday, March 18th 2007.

“If you look closely you might recognize somebody in the first picture... Yes, true, that's me,”- wrote Vladimir.

Our congratulations to him for another big achievement. We have a proverb in Russia that says: a talented person is talented in everything. I believe it is about Vladimir.
It will be superb to go and get a sneak view of this event just in between the Russian Poetry Club’s and the Toronto Oblomov Society’s meetings.

Four short films will screen: Rock Garden: A Love Story, Last Year at Killaloe, Tell Us the Truth About Josephine, and Babysitting Andy. 7:36pm, free admission.

Location: Innis Town Hall, Innis College
Address: 2 Sussex Avenue, Toronto ON, M5S 1J5
Innis Townhall is located within Innis College on the University of Toronto's downtown campus, at the NW corner of St. George Street and Sussex Avenue, just south of Bloor Street. It is a five minute walk from the nearest subway stop, St. George Station.

It is the same place where was a screening of "Our Motherland" by with Vitaly Mansky and a discussion with him after the film.

Rock Garden: A Love Story (2006)

Description: A fable about a man, his rocks, the neighbour who covets them, and the flower than transformed them all.
