Research Interests
Dr Wolf's primary field of research is Soviet art and visual culture.
She is presently completing the manuscript for USSR in Construction: A
Modernist Propaganda Magazine for the Stalinist Regime. This book examines
the persistence, modification and transformation of Soviet avant-garde
representational practices in light of the emerging Stalinist aesthetic of
Socialist Realism in the 1930s through a study of the Soviet photographic
magazine USSR in Construction. Other areas of research interest include:
Soviet photographic debates of the 1920s and 1930s, the visual culture of
Soviet prison camps, Soviet writer-photographers, the proletarian
photography movement, and Soviet cultural exchange. Since arriving at Otago,
she has also begun to pursue research on both historic and contemporary New
Zealand photography.

extrait d'un de ses articles en langue française :

THÉORÈME 8

Caméra politique, Cinéma et stalinisme

Sous la direction de Kristian Feigelson

Presses Sorbonne nouvelle, 2005.



[page 61]




Erika Wolf [historienne de l'art, Nouvelle-Zélande]




Le statut de la photographie dans la revue L'URSS en construction (1930)




Le magazine L'URSS en construction




[note : titre de l'édition anglaise : USSR in construction ; édition russe
en cyrillique : SSSR na stroike ; édition en français : L'URSS en
construction ; édition allemande : USSR im Bau]




En tant que revue de propagande, avec ses diverses traductions et ses
abondantes photographies, le magazine L'URSS en construction semble bien
avoir ciblé un public étranger apte à suivre avec sympathie le développement
de l'Union soviétique dans sa « construction socialiste » (1). Le regain d'intérêt
occidental depuis les années soixante pour l'avant-garde soviétique a donné
à ce magazine une notoriété particulière, du fait de l'engagement de
certains artistes comme El Lissitsky, Alexandre Rodtchenko et Varvara
Stepanova. Dans l'élan qui suivit la révolution d'Octobre, ces
constructivistes rejetèrent la propagande au profit d'une pratique
utilitaire engagée. Que de tels individus aient pu ainsi s'exprimer après la
dissolution forcée des projets d'avant-garde par le Comité central en avril
1932 pourrait surprendre : en réalité, il semble bien que ces images aient
été destinées à un public étranger et qu'elles n'étaient pas publiées à
usage interne en URSS (2).







(1) « La rapide croissance de la construction du socialisme en Union
soviétique attire les pays étrangers. La maison d'édition d'État (RSFSR) a
donc eu l'idée de publier un magazine illustré spécial intitulé L'URSS en
construction pour refléter cet élément colossal de l'Union soviétique
contemporaine. La maison d'édition d'État a choisi la photographie pour
illustrer la construction socialiste dans la mesure où il s'agit dans la
plupart des cas d'un moyen encore plus convaincant que le meilleur article
écrit. L'URSS en construction sera publié mensuellement dans des éditions
spéciales en anglais, en allemand, en français et en russe. Le comité
éditorial de L'URSS en construction souhaite à ce magazine une attention
particulière de la part des personnes intéressées par le progrès de la
construction socialiste en URSS. » Note des éditeurs, L'URSS en
construction, 1930, n°1.
