Contextualizing Transition : Interviews with Contemporary Russian Writers and Critics (Middlebury Studies in Russian Language and Literature)

Roll (Russian and Slavic studies, McGill U.) talks with nine members of the literati who are now reshaping contemporary Russian culture, then adds her own conclusions and commentary. They discuss negotiating borders between art and criticism, high and popular culture, visual and verbal media, commercial and state-sponsored publishing, ideological and corporeal identities, and universal and gendered subjects.
