Daria Shembel's
primary academic interest lies in Boris Pasternak's original poetics, translations
and life. She also has research interests in cinema, totalitarian aesthetics,
various aspects of Russian modernism and metrics. She is currently involved
in a project with Prof. Postoutenko compiling the Rhythmico-Syntactic Dictionary
of Iambic Tetrameter. As a TA at USC she teaches various levels of Russian
language. She also assisted Prof. Levitt teaching in the Thematic Option
program which was devoted to political violence in Russian culture.
Daria's reason for moving to California was the opportunity to conduct research
with Prof. Zholkovsky, whose theory of generative poetics had fascinated
her for many years.
