Description

Product Description Transnational Russian Studies offers an approach to understanding Russia based on the idea that language, society and culture do not neatly coincide, but should be seen as flows of meaning across ever-shifting boundaries. Our book moves beyond static conceptions of Russia as a discrete nation with a singular language, culture, and history. Instead, we understand it as a multinational society that has perpetually redefined Russianness in reaction to the wider world. We treat Russian culture as an expanding field, whose sphere of influence transcends the geopolitical boundaries of the Russian Federation, reaching as far as London, Cape Town, and Tehran. Our transnational approach to Russian Studies generates new perspectives on the history of Russian culture and its engagements with, and transformation by, other cultures. The volume thereby simultaneously illuminates broader conceptions of the transnational from the perspective of Russian Studies. Over twenty chapters, we provide case studies based on original research, treating topics that include Russia's imperial and postcolonial entanglements; the paradoxical role that language plays in both defining culture in national terms, and facilitating transnational communication; the life of things `Russian' in the global arena; and Russia's positioning in the contemporary globalized world. Our volume is aimed primarily at students and researchers of Russian Studies, but it will also be relevant to all Modern Linguists, and to those who employ transnational paradigms within the broader humanities. Review This book is a very sophisticated and accessible discussion of the issues involved with the concept of transnational. It is clear that the use of transnational throughout the volume is no trendy marketing ploy; it is meticulously woven throughout the book and discussed with great nuance and insight. --Brian James Baer, Kent State University About the Author Andy Byford is a Professor of Russian at the School of Modern Languages and Cultures at Durham University. Connor Doak is a Lecturer in Russian at the University of Bristol. Stephen Hutchings is a Professor of Russian Studies at the University of Manchester.
