Эпоха «остранения». Русский формализм и современное гуманитарное знание

As for Shklovsky, his stay in Belgrade was extraordinary. He delivered three lectures for which I was the interpreter, I interviewed him for Belgrade television, and during more than a week, while we were touring Belgrade, he spoke to me about his life experiences, Russian avant-garde poets and formalists, very much about Bakhtin, whom he introduced to me that summer in Moscow. At the end of his visit Shklovsky asked me to give to “Romka” a brief letter he had written him and which he read to me. After thanking for the book with the dedication, Shklovsky added that Jakobson was probably unique in failing to recognize the sexual symbolism of a teapot.

I saw Jakobson and Krystyna Pomorska for the last time in Arlington, near Boston, in the home of Taranovsky, in the early spring of 1982. After dinner, Taranovsky and Jakobson suggested that the three of us withdraw to our host’s office, while our wives Vera, Krystyna and Krinka continued their conversation in the dining room. The presumed reason for this was that they didn’t want to impose on the ladies our tiresome conversation on scholarship in the late hours of the evening. The real reason was, of course, our wish to drink vodka without our wives’ worries for our health. We stayed long into the night telling stories, Jakobson and Taranovsky much more than myself. Being very lively and in a very good mood, Jakobson talked about many things, noting at one moment that without such socializing there would have been no Russian Formalism or Prague Linguistic Circle. New scholarly theories resulted from the direct exchange of views, often polemical, but always relaxed and friendly, with vodka playing an important role. Finally, when Jakobson was leaving, knowing that my wife Krinka was a specialist in Hispanic literature, he dedicated and gave her a Spanish edition of his book. Taranovsky commented on Jakobson’s courtesy as a refined apology for having broken our small company into men and women. It turned out that this was the last encounter of two friends from the long past days in Prague. Jakobson passed away that summer.
