Memory and Literature
Reflecting on works by Pushkin, Dostoevsky, Gogol, Bely, Mandelstam, Akhmatova, Mayakovsky, Nabokov, and lesser-known Russian writers, Lachmann goes beyond formalist approaches to literature by developing insights from structuralist and poststructuralist theory. Throughout, Memory and Literature is rigorously formal, culturally astute, and stylistically brilliant, and is essential reading for those who enjoy Russian literature and literary criticism.
Parody
In this definitive work Margaret Rose presents an analysis and history of theories and uses of parody from ancient to contemporary times and offers a new approach to the analysis and classification of modern, late-modern, and post-modern theories of the subject. The author's Parody/Meta-Fiction (1979) was influential in broadening awareness of parody as a 'double-coded' device which could be used for more than mere ridicule. In the present study she both expands and revises the introductory section of her 1979 text and adds substantial new sections on modern and post-modern theories and uses of parody and pastiche which also discuss the work of theorists and writers including the Russian formalists, Mikhail Bakhtin, Hans Robert Jauss, Wolfgang Iser, Julia Kristeva, Roland Barthes, Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida, Ihab Hassan, Jean Baudrillard, Fredric Jameson, A. S. Byatt, Martin Amis, Charles Jencks, Umberto Eco, David Lodge, Malcolm Bradbury and others.

Literary theory flourished in Central and Eastern Europe throughout the twentieth century, but its relation to Western literary scholarship is complex. This book sheds light on the entangled histories of exchange and influence both within the region known as Central and Eastern Europe, and between the region and the West. The exchange of ideas between scholars in the East and West was facilitated by both personal and institutional relations, both official and informal encounters. For the longest time, however, intellectual exchange was thwarted by political tensions that led to large parts of Central and Eastern Europe being isolated from the West. A few literary theories nevertheless made i...

Lager und Literatur
Die einschneidendste Erfahrung, die aus den Lagerberichten der Gulag-Opfer spricht, ist die Entstellung des vertrauten humanistischen Menschenbilds. Die historische Aufarbeitung des Gulag-Geschehens setzte mit den Aktivitäten der Menschenrechtsorganisation "Memorial" ein. Ihrer Arbeit gingen die in Form von Autobiographie, Tagebuch und Erzählung verfassten Lagerberichte voraus, die bereits in den 60er und 70er Jahren publiziert wurden. Allein diese Texte der Überlebenden berichten über die Bedingungen in den Lagern, deren Aussehen und Anlage, über die Arbeitsabläufe und das Zusammenleben der Inhaftierten. Die Diskrepanz zwischen Erleben und Beschreiben, zwischen der Ungeheuerlichkeit d...
