| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study I have tried to draw attention to the theme of the human face in the late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Russia and define its significance in cultural history. This theme was explored both in relation to the specific novels (including Dostoevsky's The Idiot and The Demons) and from some theoretical perspectives (for example, the unrepresentability of God in Christian theology and psychoanalytic notion of traumatic vision). By analyzing Dostoevsky's novels and theoretical writings of Malevich and Eisenstein, I have arrived at a clear picture of how the representations of the face in this periods reflect the historical shift in the physiognomic imagination under the impact of the birth and development of photography.
