Roman Jakobson ( 1896-1982)... «Modern Criticism and Theory: A Reader»
innashpitzberg13 сентября 2012Roman Jakobson ( 1896-1982) was one of the most powerful minds in twentieth-century intellectual history, though general recognition of this fact came rather late in his long life. He was born in Russia and was a founder-member of the Moscow Linguistic Circle which played a major part in the development of Russian formalism. At this time, Jakobson was an enthusiastic supporter of the Russian futurist poets, and never lost this commitment to modernist experiment and innovation. In 1920, he moved to Czechoslovakia and helped to found the Prague Linguistic Circle, which was the source of some of the important foundation work in structuralistic linguistic and poetics. The Nazi invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1939 forced Jakobson to move on again, and in 1941 he arrived in the United States, where he lived until his death, teaching at Columbia, Harvard and MIT.
