Notes for Igor Moiseyev Ballet
[edit]- Background: Igor Moiseyev was born in 1906 in Kiev to a Russian lawyer and a French seamstress. Until age eight, he lived in Paris. He first studied ballet privately in Moscow; he entered the Bolshoi Ballet School in 1921. From 1924 to 1939, he was a member of the Bolshoi Ballet; his early ballets were noted for their experimentation.(cite https://web.archive.org/web/20181219230521/https://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/03/arts/dance/03moiseyev.html) Moiseyev was taught by Alexander Alexeyevich Gorsky; he was inspired by the avant-garde balletmasters [[Michel Fokine and Kasyan Goleizovsky, (cite terentyev) he was considered too avante-garde, so he was made to leave https://www.svoboda.org/a/419465.html -->

- alternatively, Anna Kisselgoff wrote that "If the Moiseyev dances have survived, it is because their artistic quality lifted them above any possible propaganda level."(cite https://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/21/arts/dance/a-visionary-of-balletic-folk-dance-turns-100.html)

Things to add to Madonna in a Fur Coat
[edit]Reception
[edit]The book was widely read in the East Bloc during the Cold War, and was for some time on the syllabus of reading for high school students in Bulgaria.[1] It was mostly forgotten in Turkey until (when? beginning of 21st century? explain when). The book has been considered a symbol of resistance (freelyinterview).
Nazan Maksudyan wrote "Sabahattin Ali’s genius in constructing an exceptional love story and in penetrating deep into the inner lives of his protagonists is singular."[2]
Things to add to Dorian Gray
[edit]Some scholars hold the view that each character represents a different artistic movement or is an allusion to different figures in British history. Thus, Basil Woodward is an allusion to Dante Gabriel Rossetti and John Ruskin, Lord Henry is a parody of Walter Pater, Dorian represents the Decadent movement; Sibyl Vane is an allusion to the heroines of Shakespeare and the early poetry of Lord Tennyson; Jim Vane and his mother are Victorian melodrama, and Sibyl Vane's Jewish manager is an inversion of George Eliot's Daniel Deronda.[3]
José León Sánchez
[edit]He was awarded with the Magón National Prize for Culture in 2018.
Sánchez suffered from a cardiac illness that ultimately took his life.[4]
Things to add to Emil Dimitrov
[edit]mother called Madame Sizi. He had a brother Yulian, who also became an illusionist (https://impressio.dir.bg/litsa/snahata-na-emil-dimitrov-pepa-miti-stana-na-70, https://blitz.bg/obshtestvo/nad-55/prez-1939-g-fakira-miti-bashchata-na-emil-dimitrov-grabva-zlatniyat-klyuch-v-parizh_news543017.html) His musical talent was noticed from a young age- father bought him an accordion and found him a musical teacher.
Write about his career idk
He was married twice, first to Greta Gancheva (bg link, maybe this source), then to Marieta (dates here). His son Emil was born in 1970 from the second marriage. According to Dimitrov's son and sister-in-law, Dimitrov was bisexual.(https://www.standartnews.com/lifestyle-lyubopitno/emil-dimitrov-sin-tatko-beshe-biseksualen-447133.html#)(https://blitz.bg/article/1538)
Things to add to "Demon" by Lermontov
[edit]Lermontov worked on the poem for 10 years, beginning at age 15, and dedicated the poem to Varvara Bakhmeteva. (https://www.jstor.org/stable/4204745) At least 7 drafts of the poem are known, (https://www.jstor.org/stable/43195227) but the poem itself was not published in Russia until 1859, 18 years after Lermontov's death. Lermontov was possibly inspired by Thomas Moore's Love of the Angels(https://www.jstor.org/stable/4204745), Byron's Heaven and Earth, and Alfred de Vigny's Éloa, ou La sœur des anges. In particular, Vigny's Éloa shares a similar theme to Lermontov's Demon, as it also concerns an innocent woman seduced by a demon who has fallen in love with her - but, whereas Tamara dies but is taken to heaven, Éloa is dragged to hell by Satan.
Critics have often considered the Demon to represent Lermontov himself. (and then add elaboration here, probably.) (https://www.jstor.org/stable/4208492 )(https://www.jstor.org/stable/4204906) And yet, Lermontov does not justify the Demon's actions - the Demon, cutting himself off from all that is good in order to pursue a truly free life, causes his own suffering and loneliness. The Demon is offered the chance to redeem himself through love, but, in his seduction of Tamara, he commits a selfish act and causes the death of both Tamara and his hope for love. (https://cyberleninka.ru/article/n/problematika-poemy-m-yu-lermontova-demon)(https://cyberleninka.ru/article/n/kavkaz-v-poeme-lermontova-demon) (Rewrite this bit later it's garbage) The name Tamara is originally from Hebrew and means "fig tree". There are a number of Biblical associations with the palm tree: the fig tree is used to symbolize Israel, or the Church; the fig tree is also mentioned in Revelations when speaking of the end of times. something something about Tamara symbolism https://cyberleninka.ru/article/n/apokalipticheskie-motivy-v-poeme-m-yu-lermontova-demon
Reception and Influence or something
Something about reception something about publication was banned until 1862 bla bla bla Vladimir Solovyov accused Lermontov of the "romanticization" of demons because (write later) Vladimir Solovyov (philosopher) (https://cyberleninka.ru/article/n/vokrug-ekrannyh-demonov-lermontov-i-bayron) and it influenced Dostoevsky (https://cyberleninka.ru/article/n/syuzhet-poemy-m-yu-lermontova-demon-v-strukture-romana-f-m-dostoevskogo-idiot)
Reception
[edit]The novel was noted for its complexity. Emir Rodriguez Monegal named the novel "one of the most complex works of fiction ever produced in Latin America” and Rosa "beyond dispute Latin America’s greatest novelist”. [5]
Rosa was unanimously elected to the Academia Brasileira de Letras for the novel.[5]
Themes
[edit](i might delete this i'm not too happy with it) Certain critics have analyzed the queer themes of the novel, pointing out Riobaldo's attraction to Diadorim, even before he learns that Diadorim is not a man. When describing his attraction to Diadorim, Riobaldo emphasizes Diadorim's masculine traits, and describes his love for the male Diadorim as "impossible". Riobaldo continues to refer to Diadorim as a man even after Diadorim's death, and cannot come to terms with the death of his love. Ashely Brock argues that the whole retelling of the story is motivated by Riobaldo's desire to keep Diadorim "alive", and to live in a past where he may have acted on his love for Diadorim.[6]
