December 13 Prisoners in the Caucasus: A History of Kidnapping Talk of the Times: UW's New President Mark Emmert January 4 Golden Gate/Gilded Cage: Immigrant Activism and Latina Cultural Citizenship in San Francisco January 15 Iraq and the Global Rise of Religious Violence: A Report from Baghdad February 17 Iraq and the Global Rise of Religious Violence: A Report from Baghdad Full Listings 2004 December 13 Prisoners in the Caucasus: A History of Kidnapping. 3:30 PM, 317 Thomson Hall. Speaker: Bruce Grant. Beginning with a fabled narrative poem by Aleksandr Pushkin from 1822, entitled "Prisoner of the Caucasus," Grant explores how the idiom of kidnapping, in the ritual seizure, taking, and most importantly, giving of bodies across perceived cultural lines, has been central to Russia's understanding of its troubled relations with the mountainous land holdings to its south for over 200 years. By juxtaposing classic ethnographic sources on Caucasian bride-kidnapping and the hostage taking of military figures as proxies in ritualized violence, with multiple renderings of Pushkin's good prisoner story in poetry, prose, opera, ballet, and film, these seemingly apolitical artifacts of Russian popular culture work to generate a powerful symbolic economy of Russian belonging in the Caucasus Mountains. Bruce Grant is Associate Professor of Anthropology at Swarthmore College and currently a Member of the School of Social Science at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.
