| | Trevor Pateman: "English Formalism and Russian Formalism: Clive Bell and Viktor Shklovsky" |
| | In the practice of the Russian Futurist poets - with whom the Formalists were closely associated - this emphasis on the independent poetic value of words, as sound and syntax, extended to the creation of 'nonsense' language in the trans-sense poetry of Velimir Khlebnikov. | | | became influential in thinking about the visual arts, but quite independently, a group of Russian writers, critics and theorists was generating ideas under the name of Formalism which have had a continuing powerful influence on critical thinking about the arts, and especially on theories of poetry and the novel. | | | Formalism as analysis of the arts, rather than as artistic practice or an aesthetics, owes an enormous amount to the Russian Formalists, headed by Roman Jakobson (1896-1982) and Viktor Shklovsky (1893-1984) - the history of the movement is chronicled in Victor Erlich's book |

| | Formalism began near the turn of the Century, emerging in the OPOYAZ group (Society for Poetic Language) as a break with the late romantic tradition of symbolism in literature and Futurism and a number of related movements in the visual arts. | | | Shklovsky considered the work of art to be the sum of the formal devices of which it is comprised, thus abolishing the firm distinction between form and content. | | | The movement sought a non-prescriptive criticism that was part of a more general move towards making literature more accessable to the masses. |

| | Russian Formalism |
| | Russian Formalism, a movement of literary criticism and interpretation, emerged in Russia during the second decade of the twentieth century and remained active until about 1930. | | | Above all, it was "literariness," rather than either image or referent, that the Formalists pursued in their studies of poetry and prose. | | | Not surprisingly, the poetic fetishization of the machine found in futurist poetics and avant-garde aesthetics quickly made its way into Formalist thought. |

| | A proleptic formalism was presaged in Frank O. Gehry's work around the time of Vitra, though now he has veered into neo-expressionism, and by accident appears in certain projects by Eisenman when landscape (or an ambient environmental surplus) is fortuitously incorporated. | | | This movement sought the integration of art, architecture, photography, and literature primarily through the art of assemblage or collage. | | | It also was rabidly deterministic until post-structuralism came along and re-introduced the long shadows of imagination and subjectivity, something central to Russian formalism and Czech Surrealism despite both's flirtation with Constructivism. |

| | This, in turn, may open a path—one of the paths—to the artist's feeling for the world, and may facilitate the discovery of the relations of an individual artist, or of a whole artistic school, to the social environment. | | | And this it does quite independently of whether it appears in a given case under the flag of a "pure" or of a frankly tendencious art. | | | And how characteristic it is—if one were to reduce every Social superstition to its absurdity—that Shklovsky has come to the idea of art's absolute independence from the social environment at a period of Russian his. |

| | Formalism: Russian and Prague schools |
| | In Poland, where aesthetic purity was not so insisted on, the influence of Husserl also began to make itself felt, a situation not unlike that of Paris thirty years later. | | | But Prague already had a proto-Structuralist objectivism, deriving from J.H. Herbart's writings, and this aesthetic included social values. | | | But one criticism which is often levelled at the school, and at the Russian Formalists, is the lack of testing, authentication. |

| | Russian Formalism |
| | Russian Formalists viewed a text as an object of art itself and as different from everyday speech and objects and thus worked to figure out what made it so. | | | Key functions of literature for Russian Formalists are defamiliarization of life through its representation in literature and exposure of the literature functions by calling attention to literary forms and conventions. | | | The Russian formalists were interested more with words and literary devices rather than the actual meaning of the words themselves. |

| | In other words, continual shifts in the system of artistic values imply continual shifts in the evaluation of different phenomena of art. | | | Such transitional genres are, for example, the various forms of littérature intime—letters, diaries, notebooks, travelogues, etc.—which in certain periods (for example, in the Russian literature of the first half of the nineteenth century) serve an important function within the total complex of literary values. | | | With the further development of Formalism, there arose the accurate conception of a poetic work as a structured system, a regularly ordered hierarchical set of artistic devices. |

| | Formalism (literature) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The plot/story distinction separates out the sequence of events the work relates (the story) from the sequence in which those events are presented in the work (the plot). | | | The aim is to produce "a science of literature that would be both independent and factual," which is sometimes designated by the term poetics. | | | "Russian Formalism" refers primarily to the work of the Society for the Study of Poetic Language founded in 1916 in St. Petersburg (then Petrograd) by Boris Eichenbaum, Viktor Shklovsky and Yury Tynyanov, and secondarily to the Moscow Linguistic Circle founded in 1914 by Roman Jakobson. |

| | In 1929 Eikhenbaum declared that the main issue in the study of literature is the tracing of the connections and interrelations between literary and extra-literary facts ("Literary Environment"). | | | The hierarchization of formal elements within the system of the text gave rise to the concept of the "dominant" (dominanta), understood as the focal formal element of the system, governing its organization and subjugating/deforming all other elements. | | | The concept was introduced as early as 1922 by Eikhenbaum (The Melodics of Russian Lyric Verse). |

| | AcademicDB - Formalism. |
| | In the first phase of Russian Formalism form is synonymous to literariness and thus is granted an essential status in the definition of literature: actually it is what made literature literature. | | | FORM and CONTENT According to the Russian Formalists,the target of literature is not literature itself but literariness.Therefore,there is no dilemma between form and content(Jefferson 1986,p.36) Russian Formalism reacts against the deeply-rooted notion that content is superior to form which is merely seen as a recipient. | | | However, the later view of Russian Formalism takes into account the automatisation of the perception of literary devices and thus the opposition material/device tends to collapse. |
