	Notes from Underground - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Notes from Underground (also translated in English as Notes from the Underground or Letters from the Underworld) (1864) is a short novel by Fyodor Dostoevsky.
		It presents itself as an excerpt from the rambling memoirs of a bitter, isolated, unnamed narrator (generally referred to by critics as Underground Man) who is a retired civil servant living in St.
		Like many of Dostoevsky's novels, Notes from Underground was unpopular with Soviet literary critics due to its explicit rejection of socialist utopianism and its portrait of humans as irrational, uncontrollable, and uncooperative.

		Underground Man envies them this ability (9), but he himself is so caught up in all the doubts, qualifications, and complexities of consciousness that he cannot follow their example.
		But Underground Man is not repudiating science out of a strong sense of his own personality, out of a desire to move out from under natural laws, out of some passionate faith in anything, least of all in the transforming power of his imagination.

	village voice > film > The Weather Underground by J. Hoberman
		For the youthful terrorists and outlaws of the Weather Underground, that mentalité was founded on an overwhelming moral disgust with the undeclared war in Vietnam, a loathing of their own perceived race and class privilege, and a sense of impending worldwide revolution.
		The Weather Underground opens with a flashback to the annus horribilis 1969, and then SDS national secretary Bernadine Dohrn denouncing our Amerika as "the most violent society that has ever existed." The filmmakers pull together a montage of graphic, still-shocking Vietnam carnage.
		As Dostoyevsky protagonists, however, the sect peaked early—with the mind-boggling explosion of their West 11th Street townhouse "bomb factory." The survivors went underground (a "parallel universe," one recalls, which often involved hiding in plain sight) and backed off from the use of pure terror.

		There, the sense of infinite space was vertical, pressing upward from the underground to the sky.
		All these great American spaces incorporate extreme contrasts between light and darkness, between formidable structures and enormous spaces, between underground and street and sky, between individual solitude and mass participation, between effacement of nature and immersion in nature.
		All are designed to plunge you into experiences that might be scary; but all promise that you can make your way out of the tunnel and into the light, and that when you do, you will be not only a better human being but also a better citizen, worthy of partaking in a civic culture.

		Though a detailed analysis of the second part of the Notes from Underground is beyond the scope of this paper, we might observe that we can read it as a demonstration of the Kantian pursuit of the sublime.
		In each case the the object of the Underground Man's offense is increasingly helpless, while his psychological relation to his object is closer, increasing the depth of possible shame.
		It is interesting to note that this originally Kantian opposition could be seen as the origin of the dialectic between stixiinost' and soznatel'nost', which will become fundamental to marxist-leninism.

		The heavyweight champion of "existential fiction" is Dostoevsky's "Notes From Underground." (In recent translations, it's no longer " Underground.") As anyone who has read it can attest, it's one of the oddest little books in all of literature (110-120 pages in most editions, a novella, really).
		As the great Russian scholar D.S. Mirsky wrote in his "History of Russian Literature," "Notes From Underground" "transcends art and literature, and its place is among the great mystical revelations of mankind." I found that quote from Mirsky when I was 18 and made a beeline for the book.
		Dostoevsky's Underground Man is one of the first characters in literature infected with the modern disease of alienation, but rendered in such stilted English prose, it's amazing that he seemed modern at all to us.

		Armed with the notion that I was decidedly wrong for the job, I pressed forward like a good journalist, deciding that the first order of business was to interview the festival organizers.
		Moreover, as much as anything else, the word "underground" invokes a scene, a community invitingly promiscuous enough to include both club kids and notebook-toting academics.
		Watching the latter, it occurred to me that as an analogy to underground cinema, punk rock works well, insofar as both genres, in their resolute celebration of the handmade and the anti-establishment over the slick and polished, often raise amateurishness to the level of virtue.

		I always saw the ending as the Underground Man proving that it's better to be off in your own underground world where you aren't biased by other people and their problems/opinions, so that you can be yourself, or something to that effect.
		I saw it as trying to justify living in the underground the way he did, and that he, in a way, is a stronger individual than the rest of the world who 'begs to go back under discipline'.
		This fits in with vierdreieins point of "that it's better to be off in your own underground world" than in the, as Dostoyevsky felt, lonely and empty world of life.
