Student: Kriazheva Daria

Educational Programme: Philosophy (Bachelor)

Year of Graduation: 2020

The thesis is devoted to the phenomenon of boredom in the context of Boredom Studies and is aimed at the formation of studies of boredom in Russian philosophy and the modernization of its research topics. The work highlights the ideas of philosophers of boredom, still not represented in the Russian-language discourse, as well as anthropological studies of boredom in postcolonial non-European societies. An interdisciplinary approach is used, which will make it possible to draw new conclusions on the problem of boredom for a clearer understanding of its nature and history. Also, the study of the philosophical and anthropological meaning of boredom can highlight other topics for research - for example, using the conclusions drawn, it will be possible to compare animal and human boredom in the framework of anti-anthropocentrism/philosophy of ecology.
