Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Student Group Manifesti and Design Sketches
The Russian Avant-garde is renowned for its contribution to the intellectual history of Modernist art and literature. In many ways, the various, rapidly changing and proliferating ideas, pronounced in tumultuous lectures and demonstrations, and recorded in artistic manifesti, have outshone the artifacts they purportedly explained. A balanced account of the period would more likely place manifesti alongside other cultural products, as just another genre of creative and intellectual expression, rather than above, or prior to.
To ground their creative work in intentional and spontaneous ideas, students in CSLC 134 / RUSN 334 and ARTS 227 formed artistic groups based upon commonly-espoused values and principles. They named their collectives and articulated their thoughts in jointly-authored manifesti.
