Russians Abroad: Literary and Cultural Politics of Diaspora (1919-1939) de Greta Slobin

Russians Abroad: Literary and Cultural Politics of Diaspora (1919-1939)

Autor Greta Slobin Editat de Nancy Condee, Katerina Clark, Mark Slobin, Dan Slobin
en Limba Engleză Hardback – iun 2013
This book presents an array of perspectives on the vivid cultural and literary politics that marked the period immediately after the October Revolution of 1917, when Russian writers had to relocate to Berlin and Paris under harsh conditions. Divided amongst themselves and uncertain about the political and artistic directions of life in the diaspora, these writers carried on two simultaneous literary dialogues: with the emerging Soviet Union and with the dizzying world of European modernism that surrounded them in the West. The book's chapters address generational differences, literary polemics and experimentation, the heritage of pre-October Russian modernism, and the fate of individual writers and critics, offering a sweeping view of how exiles created a literary diaspora. The discussion moves beyond Russian studies to contribute to today’s broad, cross-cultural study of the creative side of political and cultural displacement.

Recenzii

“Greta Slobin’s passing cut short a scholarly career devoted, among other subjects, to the study of interwar Russian émigré culture, about which Slobin intended to write a book-length monograph but did not have time to complete it. The present volume, a labor of love by family and friends, strings together previously published and newly revised essays, some translated from the Russian, as well as material dictated by the ailing author, in a narrative that approximates Slobin’s original plan. . . .The present collection of essays documents her life-long intellectual engagement with the problematics of Russian émigré culture. . . . For those who knew Greta Slobin, this volume will be a modest token of appreciation for a passionate scholar whose premature death left an ambitious project incomplete.”
“Framed by several critical models, including neocolonial, the book is rich in observations on the nexus between the national canon, exile and modernism....Greta Slobin’s book will play an important part in emigre studies, where a decisive shift has occurred during the last decade from describing the long neglected material and ‘filling the gaps’ to conceptualizing and contextualizing the complex network of literary discourses, solidarities and loyalties.”
“The chief value of this collection of essays is that it clearly traces some of the important dynamics of the post-1917 literary emigration. It shows how émigré literature relates to Russian literature of other periods and to broader questions of identity; as well as countering the usual stereotypes, it demonstrates that émigré letters need not—should not—be studied as a thing apart. . . . [T]his is a collection of essays which opens up many lines of enquiry as it is—and provides many original answers. Prefaced with an eloquent tribute by Galin Tihanov, it stands as a fine tribute to Greta Slobin and the breadth of her scholarship.”
