Russian Classical Literature Today
This book explores a range of (mis)uses of the Russian classical literature canon and its symbolic capital by contemporary Russian literature, cinema, literary scholarship, and mass culture. It outlines processes of current canon-formation in a situation of the expiration of a literature-centric culture that has been imbued with specific messianism and its doubles. The book implements Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of the cultural field, focussing on a field’s constitutive pursuit of autonomy and on its flexible resistance to the double pressure of the political field and the economic field. It provides material for elaborating this theory through postulating the principal presence of a third factor of heteronomy: the ‘strong neighbour’ within the cultural field. Furthermore, this volume demonstrates the heuristic of comparing the current Russian (mis)uses of classical literature to prior Russian and current foreign ones. As such, it also discusses such issues as the historical relativity of a literary field’s (notion of) autonomy and the geo-cultural variability of the Russian literary canon.
Twentieth-Century Russian Poetry
The canon of Russian poetry has been reshaped since the fall of the Soviet Union. A multi-authored study of changing cultural memory and identity, this revisionary work charts Russia’s shifting relationship to its own literature in the face of social upheaval. Literary canon and national identity are inextricably tied together, the composition of a canon being the attempt to single out those literary works that best express a nation’s culture. This process is, of course, fluid and subject to significant shifts, particularly at times of epochal change. This volume explores changes in the canon of twentieth-century Russian poetry from the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union to the end of Put...
Literature in Exile
This book brings together papers presented at an international conference held in Tbilisi, Georgia, in 2013, and organised by the Shota Rustaveli Institute of Georgian Literature and the Georgian Comparative Literature Association (GCLA). It represents the first in-depth analysis of the different angles of the problem of emigration and emigrant writing, so painful for the cultural history of Soviet countries, as well as many other European countries with different political regimes. It brings together scholars from Post-Soviet countries, as well as various other countries, to discuss a range of issues surrounding emigration and emigrant writing, highlighting the historical and cultural experience of each particular country. The book deals with such significant problems as the fate of writers revolting against different political regimes, conceptual, stylistic and generic issues, the matter of the emigrant author and the language of his fiction, and the place of emigrant writers’ fiction within their national literatures and the world literary process.
Vladimir Sorokin’s Discourses
Vladimir Sorokin is the most prominent and the most controversial contemporary Russian writer. Having emerged as a prose writer in Moscow’s artistic underground in the late 1970s and early 80s, he became visible to a broader Russian audience only in the mid-1990s, with texts shocking the moralistic expectations of traditionally minded readers by violating not only Soviet ideological taboos, but also injecting vulgar language, sex, and violence into plots that the postmodernist Sorokin borrowed from nineteenth-century literature and Socialist Realism. Sorokin became famous when the Putin youth organization burned his books in 2002 and he picked up neo-nationalist and neo-imperialist discourses in his dystopian novels of the 2000s and 2010s, making him one of the fiercest critics of Russia’s “new middle ages,” while remaining steadfast in his dismantling of foreign discourses.

Auf der Suche nach dem Modernen
Diese Monographie leistet einen erkenntnisreichen und vielfach anschlussfähigen Beitrag zur Osterweiterung der Komparatistik, genauer zur komparatistischen Forschungsdiskussion über die moderne Lyrik, indem sie ein Desiderat füllt. Mittels ihrer doppelten Suche, nach dem und den in Bulgarien rezipierten Modernen und nach in bulgarischer Sprache geschaffenem Modernem, sei es in der Form programmatischer, theoretischer oder poetischer Texte, integriert sie eine kleine Nationalliteratur in einen größeren wissenschaftlichen Kontext. Gleichzeitig räumt sie mit historisch gewordenen Interpretationen auf und bietet eine neue Sicht auf die behandelten Autoren. Die von der Verfasserin angefertigten Übersetzungen machen den deutschsprachigen Lesern viele bis dato nicht übertragene Werke zugänglich.
La Culture littéraire russe dans la prosopopée judéo-chrétienne
L'anthropobiologie philosophique contemporaine a établi, à la suite de Guillaume de Humboldt, que la prosopopée par laquelle l'être humain se met en présence du monde en le faisant parler constituait la racine dynamique de la parole et de tout art. Les scientifiques ont fait entrer l'être humain dans une ère d'expérimentation totale de lui-même pour faire juger par la nature les conditions de son existence. Les poètes russes, eux aussi, se sont expérimentés eux-mêmes en s'individualisant à la façon dont le Dieu judaïque de parole s'est différencié des autres dieux par sa parole créatrice. Ils se sont contentés de s'en différencier en reconnaissant leur finitude. L'auteur retrace ici avec brio la réactivation de cette prosopopée dans les diverses expérimentations poétiques de Pouchkine, Akhmatova, Tsvetaïeva et Brodsky, ainsi que dans les romans de Dostoïevski, Tolstoï, Tourgueniev et Pasternak.
