Beskrivning
This volume widens the field of Soviet literature studies by interpreting it as a multinational project, with national literatures acting not as copies of the Russian model, but as creators of a multidimensional literary space. The book proposes a reconsideration of Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of literary field and analyzes the interactions of literature, power, and economics under the communist rule. The articles selected include theoretical discussions and case studies from different national literatures presenting different structural elements of the Soviet literary field, as well as different phenomena created by the complexity of the field itself, such as the Aesopian language, state of emergency literature, or compromise as the essential element of the writers’ identity.

Recensioner i media

“This collection brings a variety of perspectives to bear on the role and significance of literature in the USSR, specifically on the nature and function of what the editors call Soviet multinational literature. … This volume meets its stated ambition of overcoming the ‘dualistic schemes’ that often afflict research on Soviet literature through a judicious application of the concept of the literary field. The book should be of interest to students and teachers of history, politics, literature, Soviet studies, and related fields. It has a unique value for its sophisticated treatment of the subject matter and coverage of non-Russian literatures of the former USSR.” —Violeta Davoliūtė, Lithuanian Culture Research Institute, Lithuanian Historical Studies, vol. 23
