‘Sensing the Great “Yellow Space” of Soviet Central Asia: Depictions of the Kara-Kum Desert in the Early 1930s'

Description

This invited talk was delivered at the University of Cambridge as part of their Department of Slavonic Studies' biennial public lecture series for 2015-16. The lecture series, entitled ‘A Sense of Place’, explored the lived environment of East Europe, Russia and Eurasia through the lens of sensory awareness and human emotion. It examined the sounds and textures, scents and sights that produce a 'sense of place' -- that is, the practices, perceptions and emotions that shape the deeply felt character of a site.
