Russians abroad : literary and cultural politics of diaspora (1919-1939)
\"The 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. 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.\"--P. [4] of cover.
Book
Cinemasaurus
Cinemasaurus examines contemporary Russian cinema as a
new visual economy, emerging over three decades after the Soviet
collapse. Focusing on debates and films exhibited at Russian and US
public festivals where the films have premiered, the volume's
contributors-the new generation of US scholars studying Russian
cinema-examine four issues of Russia's transition: (1) its imperial
legacy, (2) the emergence of a film market and its new genres, (3)
Russia's uneven integration into European values and hierarchies,
(4) the renegotiation of state power vis-à-vis arthouse
and independent cinemas. An introductory essay frames each of the
four sections, with 90 films total under discussion, concluding
with a historical timeline and five interviews of key film-industry
figures formative of the historical context.

Borat: Putting the Id Back in Identity Politics
This forum has attracted six richly varied responses to Larry Charles's film Borat. That Slavic Review would bring together, among others, a political scientist, an anthropologist, a historian, and two ethnographers (if I discern their fields correctly) to discuss a Hollywood film attests both to the journal's vitality and to the film's skill in marshalling interesting questions. In light of the range of issues raised here, my comments attempt, with inconsistent success, to restrict themselves to the questions broached in the preceding essays, rather than supplying an altogether new line of argument.
