GLOSSARY AND RESOURCES FREE ASSOCIATION


Free association is a technique used in psychoanalysis that was originally devised by Sigmund Freud. Free association involves freely sharing thoughts, random words, and anything else that comes to mind, regardless of how coherent or appropriate the thoughts are Carr says he does not approve of Bennett’s “free association” after a monologue Bennett gives about the current and future state of Russian politics.


COGNOSCENTI ANTI-ART COMMUNISM


People who are considered to be especially well informed about a particular subject Carr says, “The Boche put on culture a-plenty for Swiss, what’s the word?” Bennett responds (in rhyme), “Cognoscenti.”


Anti-art is a loosely used term applied to an array of concepts and attitudes that reject prior definitions of art and question art in general. It is mainly associated with the Dada movement Tzara says that anti-art is the “art of our time.”


A political and economic doctrine, communism aims to replace private property and a profit-based economy with public ownership and communal control of at least the major means of production and the natural resources of a society. It is therefore a form of socialism—a higher and more advanced form, according to its advocates


Cecily is arguing with Carr when she explains that Lenin knew that famine would lead to revolution and bring Russia “closer to the dictatorship of the proletariat, closer to the Communist society.”


SOCIALISM


A social and economic doctrine, socialism calls for public rather than private ownership or control of property and natural resources. Therefore, society has a whole should own or at least control property for the benefit of all its members


Cecily explains to Carr in an argument that socialism is not about certain allowances like striking and voting, but is about “ownership—the natural right of the people to the common ownership of their country and its resources.”
