Description

Explore the deep connection between language and power in this academic study from Routledge. The Vernaculars of Communism examines how political revolutions in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe led to a total transformation of speech and meaning. As state socialism established new institutions and social roles, a new way of speaking emerged to define these changes. This book moves past simple descriptions of communist speech as mere newspeak. Instead, it provides a detailed look at how language functioned during both the Stalinist and post-Stalinist periods. It analyzes how linguistic practices were used to designate, articulate, and perform the new social realities of the era. For students and historians of Russia and Eastern Europe, this work offers a way to understand how the communist project attempted to remake the world by renaming it.
