Written in different years, they focus on cultural and aesthetic crises that, taken together, constitute the postmodern condition of Russian culture. The reader will find here articles about classical subversive texts (such as Nabokov’s \u003ci\u003eLolita\u003c\/i\u003e), performances (Pussy Riot), and recent, but also subversive, films. Other articles discuss such authors as Vladimir Sorokin, such  sociocultural discourses  as the discourse of scientific intelligentsia; post-Soviet adaptations of Socialist Realism, and contemporary trends of “complex” literature, as well as literary characters turned into cultural tropes (the Strugatsky’s progressors). The book will be interesting for teachers and scholars of contemporary Russian literature and culture; it can be used both in undergraduate and graduate courses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“In recent years, few scholars have transformed the fields of Russian and Slavic literary studies as rigorously as Mark Lipovetsky has. With \u003ci\u003ePostmodern Crises\u003c\/i\u003e, he unpacks the interconnections between intellectual and popular cultures and politics in contemporary Russia in a series of erudite, nuanced, nonessentialist, and—invariably!—rhetorically powerful analytical inquiries. Scholars, students, philosophers, and politicians who want to understand the crisis of postmodern paradigms, contemporary Russian literature and art, and the political crises of Putin's Russia: read this book.” -- Ellen Rutten, University of Amsterdam\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eLITERATURE\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe War of Discourses: \u003ci\u003eLolita\u003c\/i\u003e and the Failure of a Transcendental Project\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Poetics of the ITR Discourse: In the 1960s and Today\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eProgressor\u003c\/i\u003e between the Imperial and the Colonial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCycles and Continuities in Contemporary Russian Literature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlеshing\/Flashing the Discourse: Sorokin’s Master Trope\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePussy Riot as the Trickstar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Formal Is Political\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eFILM\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePost-Soc: Transformations of Socialist Realism in the Popular Culture of the Late 1990s–Early 2000s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWar as the Family Value: \u003ci\u003eMy Stepbrother Frankenstein\u003c\/i\u003e by Valery Todorovsky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Road of Violence: \u003ci\u003eMy Joy\u003c\/i\u003e by Sergei Loznitsa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn Denial: \u003ci\u003eThe Geographer Drank His Globe Away\u003c\/i\u003e by Aleksandr Veledinsky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLost in Translation: \u003ci\u003eShort Stories\u003c\/i\u003e by Mikhail Segal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks Cited\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Academic Studies Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51359752716631,"sku":"9781618115584","price":66.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781618115584.jpg?v=1754125603","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/postmodern-crises-from-lolita-to-pussy-riot-9781618115584","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
