Tamizdat
Tamizdat offers a new perspective on the history of the Cold War by exploring the story of the contraband manuscripts sent from the USSR to the West. A word that means publishing "over there," tamizdat manuscripts were rejected, censored, or never submitted for publication in the Soviet Union and were smuggled through various channels and printed outside the country, with or without their authors' knowledge. Yasha Klots demonstrates how tamizdat contributed to the formation of the twentieth-century Russian literary canon: the majority of contemporary Russian classics first appeared abroad long before they saw publication in Russia. Examining narratives of Stalinism and the Gulag, Klots focus...
The Word that Causes Death's Defeat
Anna Akhmatova (1889–1966), one of twentieth-century Russia’s greatest poets, was viewed as a dangerous element by post-Revolution authorities. One of the few unrepentant poets to survive the Bolshevik revolution and subsequent Stalinist purges, she set for herself the artistic task of preserving the memory of pre-Revolutionary cultural heritage and of those who had been silenced. This book presents Nancy K. Anderson’s superb translations of three of Akhmatova’s most important poems: Requiem, a commemoration of the victims of Stalin’s Terror; The Way of All the Earth, a work to which the poet returned repeatedly over the last quarter-century of her life and which combines Old Russi...

The New Bosnian Mosaic
Since the violent events of the Bosnian war and the revelations of ethnic cleansing that shocked the world in the early 1990s, Bosnia has become a metaphor for the new ethnic nationalisms, for the transformation of warfare in the post-Cold War era, and for new forms of peacekeeping and state-building. This book is unique in offering a re-examination of the Bosnian case with a 'bottom-up' perspective. It gathers together cultural anthropologists and other social scientists to consider the specificities of the Bosnian case. However, the book also raises broader questions: what are the consequences of internecine violence and how should societies attempt to overcome them? Are the uncertainties and the transformations of Bosnian post-war society due entirely to the war, or are they related to wider processes encompassing post-communist Europe as a whole? And are the difficulties experienced by international state-building operations mainly due to distinctive features of the local societies or are they due to the policies promoted by the international community itself?
Advances in formal Slavic linguistics 2016
Advances in Formal Slavic Linguistics 2016 initiates a new series of collective volumes on formal Slavic linguistics. It presents a selection of high quality papers authored by young and senior linguists from around the world and contains both empirically oriented work, underpinned by up-to-date experimental methods, as well as more theoretically grounded contributions. The volume covers all major linguistic areas, including morphosyntax, semantics, pragmatics, phonology, and their mutual interfaces. The particular topics discussed include argument structure, word order, case, agreement, tense, aspect, clausal left periphery, or segmental phonology. The topical breadth and analytical depth of the contributions reflect the vitality of the field of formal Slavic linguistics and prove its relevance to the global linguistic endeavour. Early versions of the papers included in this volume were presented at the conference on Formal Description of Slavic Languages 12 or at the satellite Workshop on Formal and Experimental Semantics and Pragmatics, which were held on December 7-10, 2016 in Berlin.
NS-Verfolgte nach der Befreiung
Über die Nachkriegserfahrungen von NS-Verfolgten aus West- und Osteuropa. Nach ihrer Befreiung 1944/45 erfuhren NS-Verfolgte ihre Rückkehr in ein "normales" Leben als einen langwierigen Prozess: Die Wege durch das zerstörte Europa waren von großen Hoffnungen geprägt, aber auch mit zahlreichen Schwierigkeiten verbunden. Welche Gründe sprachen für eine Rückkehr in das Herkunftsland und welche für eine Emigration? Wie reagierte das soziale Umfeld auf die Verfolgungserfahrungen? Welche Formen der Unterstützung erfuhren die überlebenden Frauen und Männer, wo konnten sie sich politisch artikulieren und wo waren sie mit fortgesetzten oder auch neuen Formen der Ausgrenzung konfrontiert? Die in diesem Heft versammelten Studien sind den NS-Verfolgten aus West- und Osteuropa gewidmet. Gefragt wird nach den Erfahrungen von Überlebenden in Deutschland, Frankreich, Israel, Italien, Österreich, der Sowjetunion und der Tschechoslowakei. Deutlich wird, wie stark die Nachkriegserfahrungen von ihren jeweiligen Verfolgungskontexten, ihrer Staatsangehörigkeit und ihrem Geschlecht geprägt waren. Dies alles hatte nachhaltige Auswirkungen auf ihr weiteres Leben.
