(Counter-)Archive: Memorial Practices of the Soviet Underground
This book is the first major study exploring archival and memorial practices of the Soviet unofficial culture. The creation of counter-archives was one of the most important forms of cultural resistance in the Soviet Union. Unofficial artists and poets had to reinvent the possibilities of maintaining art and literature that “did not exist”. Against the background of archival theories and memory studies, the volume explores how the culture of the Soviet underground has become one of the most striking cases of scholarly and artistic (self-)archiving, which – although being half-isolated from the outer world – reflected intellectual and artistic trends characteristic of its time. The guiding question of the volume is how Soviet unofficial culture (de)constructed social memory by collecting, archiving and memorizing tabooed culture of the past and present.
Transnational Russian Studies
This book focuses on how Russia has perpetually redefined Russianness in reaction to the wider world. Treating culture as an expanding field, it offers original case studies in Russia’s imperial entanglements; the life of things ‘Russian’, including the language, beyond the nation’s boundaries, and Russia’s positioning in the globalized world.
Tracing German Visions of Eastern Europe in the Twentieth Century
Reconsidering the German tendency to define itself vis-à-vis an eastern "Other" in light of fresh debate regarding the Second World War, this volume and the cultural products it considers expose and question Germany''s relationship with its imagined East.Germany has long defined itself in opposition to its eastern neighbors: its ideas around cultural prestige and its expressions of xenophobia seem inevitably to return to an imagined eastern "Other." Central to the consideration of such projections is the legacy of the Second World War, the subject of fresh debate since 1989: after four decades of political antagonism and cultural disjuncture, the events of the war on the Eastern Front have ...
Avant-Garde Post–
Avant-Garde Post– follows seven Russophone poets as they reinvigorate leftist art in the wake of state socialism. Rejecting both the Putin regime—with its selective mobilizations of Soviet nostalgia—and Western discourses of liberal superiority, this circle is reviving class-based critique through experimental forms and global collaborations.
Reading Russian Literature, 1980–2024
This edited collection focuses on the nexus between literary consumption, memory and collective identity formation in Russia from the 1980s until today. It challenges perceived notions about the reduced social significance and identity-building potential of contemporary Russian literature. Drawing on a diverse set of primary source materials, ranging from memoirs, diaries and essays to fan art and BookToks, the collection seeks to do justice to the diversity of an enormous reading public that is often routinely referred to as the ‘Russian reader’. The case studies explore the reading habits and self-understanding of very different audiences that are dispersed along regional, gender, generational and technological divides. In doing so, this collection examines both the continuities and shifts in the multifaceted relationship between literary consumption, memory and identity during the profound and ongoing transformations in Russian society and its literary landscape.

Kanonbildung im transkulturellen Netzwerk
Der Begriff »Kanon« wird meist mit »Nationalkanon« gleichgesetzt. Die zunehmend globale Zirkulation von Kunst und Literatur macht es jedoch erforderlich, Kanonbildung nicht nur aus nationalkultureller, sondern vielmehr aus transkultureller Sicht zu erforschen. Die internationale Erfolgsgeschichte des Moskauer Konzeptualismus dient Dorine Schellens als Fallstudie, um das Potential von kulturwissenschaftlicher Netzwerkanalyse für eine transkulturelle Kanonforschung aufzuzeigen. Im Fokus steht ein Transfernetzwerk von Mittlerfiguren, Institutionen und Kunstwerken, das dazu beigetragen hat, dass sich der Moskauer Konzeptualismus zur einflussreichsten Gruppe innerhalb der russischen Gegenwartskunst entwickeln konnte.
