Ani Kokobobo - Christ, Hadji Murat, and the Late Tolstoy’s Non-Hegemonic Masculinities
In this lecture, Professor Ani Kokobobo traces a new minority masculinity in Tolstoy’s late narratives after the author denounces sexuality in works like The Kreutzer Sonata. If typical Tolstoyan “seeker” characters, like Andrei Bolkonsky, Pierre Bezukhov, and Konstantin Levin were always social misfits who did not fit within societal roles and sought a sphere outside of society for their own mental growth and development, a number of Tolstoy’s later characters take matters further and fully embrace the outsider status. In an article on Tolstoy’s translation of the gospels, Hugh McLean sets up a contrast between the image of Christ that Tolstoy constructs, and another historical character and warrior, Hadji Murat, arguing that the Russian author was ultimately far more comfortable with a m...

Haji Murad (حاجی مُراد) by Leo Tolstoy| Novel Review with Ali Adil Awan
#LeoTolstoy #HajiMurad #AdabiCollage
Leo Tolstoy was a Russian writer who primarily wrote novels and short stories. Later in life, he also wrote plays and essays. His two most famous works, the novels War and Peace and Anna Karenina, are acknowledged as two of the greatest novels of all time and a pinnacle of realist fiction. Many consider Tolstoy to have been one of the world's greatest novelists. Tolstoy is equally known for his complicated and paradoxical persona and for his extreme moralistic and ascetic views, which he adopted after a moral crisis and spiritual awakening in the 1870s, after which he also became noted as a moral thinker and social reformer.
In 1851 Leo Tolstoy enlisted in the Russian army and was sent to the Caucasus to help defeat the Chechens. During this war a g...

Bincang Buku 55 | Hadji Murat - Leo Tolstoy
HADJI MURAT. Siapa di antara kita yang kenal dia? Mungkin tidak banyak, hanya pembaca Leo Tolstoy. Hadji Murat hanyalah tokoh fiktif, namun dari cerita Tolstoy, ia seakan nyata, hadir dalam perjuangan rakyat Chechnya. Dalam zaman perang penaklukan wilayah oleh Rusia.
Atas nama kesetiaan, ataukah pengkhianatan? Hadji Murat diberi pilihan-pilihan sulit. Ia sungguh seorang muslim yang tak hanya mengerti dan mengamalkan agama. Ia juga tahu apa itu intrik, perebutan kekuasaan, serta keberanian untuk menjalin aliansi atas musuh utama. Hadji Murat paham betul, agama bukan penentu kawan atau musuh. Melainkan kesediaan untuk saling menerima, memperlakukan dengan hormat, serta upaya untuk saling memahami. Walau pada akhirnya nalurinya menuntun pikirannya untuk berkesimpulan, bahwa ia hanya dimanfaa...

In this lecture, Professor Ani Kokobobo traces a new minority masculinity in Tolstoy’s late narratives after the author denounces sexuality in works like The Kreutzer Sonata. If typical Tolstoyan “seeker” characters, like Andrei Bolkonsky, Pierre Bezukhov, and Konstantin Levin were always social misfits who did not fit within societal roles and sought a sphere outside of society for their own mental growth and development, a number of Tolstoy’s later characters take matters further and fully embrace the outsider status. In an article on Tolstoy’s translation of the gospels, Hugh McLean sets up a contrast between the image of Christ that Tolstoy constructs, and another historical character and warrior, Hadji Murat, arguing that the Russian author was ultimately far more comfortable with a more “red-blooded” and “macho” hero. Professor Kokobobo considers several late narratives and argue that as different as some of Tolstoy’s later male figures might be, many seek lives outside the sexual economy and societal institutions, while Tsar Nicholas I, one of the most hated figures in Tolstoy’s later writings, typifies the rottenness of hegemonic masculinity for the late author – as an unapologetic lecher and murderer who relies on violent institutions for his power. Bringing Tolstoy into dialogue with contemporary masculinity theory, Professor Kokobobo argue that Tolstoy’s new masculinity in this later period seeks to move beyond this power- and sex-driven hegemonic model to embrace the masculinity model typified by Christ.

Many consider Tolstoy to have been one of the world's greatest novelists.

In 1851 Leo Tolstoy enlisted in the Russian army and was sent to the Caucasus to help defeat the Chechens. During this war a great Avar chieftain, Hadji Murád, broke with the Chechen leader Shamil and fled to the Russians for safety. Months later, while attempting to rescue his family from Shamil’s prison, Hadji Murád was pursued by those he had betrayed and, after fighting the most heroic battle of his life, was killed.

HADJI MURAT. Siapa di antara kita yang kenal dia? Mungkin tidak banyak, hanya pembaca Leo Tolstoy. Hadji Murat hanyalah tokoh fiktif, namun dari cerita Tolstoy, ia seakan nyata, hadir dalam perjuangan rakyat Chechnya. Dalam zaman perang penaklukan wilayah oleh Rusia.
Atas nama kesetiaan, ataukah pengkhianatan? Hadji Murat diberi pilihan-pilihan sulit. Ia sungguh seorang muslim yang tak hanya mengerti dan mengamalkan agama. Ia juga tahu apa itu intrik, perebutan kekuasaan, serta keberanian untuk menjalin aliansi atas musuh utama. Hadji Murat paham betul, agama bukan penentu kawan atau musuh. Melainkan kesediaan untuk saling menerima, memperlakukan dengan hormat, serta upaya untuk saling memahami. Walau pada akhirnya nalurinya menuntun pikirannya untuk berkesimpulan, bahwa ia hanya dimanfaatkan oleh Rusia, sekutunya untuk menumpas Shamil, pemimpin muslim yang menyandera istri dan anak-anaknya.
Tolstoy, meskipun bukan seorang muslim, ia tahu betul menyusun cerita ini: seorang pejuang muslim militan, yang licin, cerdik, dan berbahaya, harus menghadapi sesamanya lantaran perebutan kekuasaan yang tentu saja memakan korban. Ia terpaksa menyeberang ke pihak Rusia demi menumpas Shamil, dan membebaskan keluarganya. Hadji Murat bukanlah seorang pembangkang, atau pengkhianat, ia hanyalah orang baik yang berbahaya, yang melawan demi prinsip.
Hadji Murat adalah karya Tolstoy yang terakhir sebelum ia wafat. Kata orang, ini adalah karya anumerta, dicetak setelah dua tahun kematiannya. Dalam menggambarkan pribadi Hadji Murat, Tolstoy mengambil perumpamaan kembang Tatar. Bunga itu hanya hidup di parit-parit pegunungan Kaukasus. Sebuah kembang pamali, menebasnya berisiko kena bencan. Sebuah tumbuhan yang hanya akan berbaring sejenak jika digilas roda pedati, sesudah itu tegak kembali.
