<p><strong><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Revolutionary Dostoevsky: Rethinking Radicalism
</span></strong><o:p></o:p></p>
<p>20-21 October 2017, U<span style="color:#1F497D">niversity </span>C<span style="color:#1F497D">ollege

<p>From <em><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Notes from Underground </span>
</em>to <em><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The Brothers Karamazov</span></em>, Dostoevsky’s work confronts the consequences of the socialist and materialist ideologies that were taking hold in Russia and beyond, and seeks alternatives in forms
of spiritual renewal and ethical action that – however reactionary some of his later publicistic writing – are in many ways equally radical. Coinciding with the 100<sup>th</sup> anniversary of the Russian revolutions and celebrating the publication of a new
translation of <em><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Crime and Punishment
</span></em>edited by Sarah Young, this conference will reassess Dostoevsky’s legendary status as ‘prophet’ of the revolution and its totalitarian aftermath. Bringing together humanities and social science scholars, it aims to build new understandings of the
notion of ‘the radical’ in all senses in Dostoevsky’s writing, and foster interdisciplinary approaches to explore what his work has to contribute to a new era of social upheaval and political and religious extremism. Potential subjects for papers include:<o:p></o:p></p>
