Postsovetskaia Literatura i Estetika Transkul`turatsii

Zhit` Nikogda, Pisat` Niotkuda

This book is the first Russian attempt to define globalization in its relation to literature and literary studies, to regard the latter as specific ideological institutions connected with and developing in parallel to the transformations of western modernity: from its imperial-colonial division to the emergence, growth and decline of nation-states, from liberalism to neo-liberalism. A special emphasis is made in the book on so-called alternative non-western critical theories of globalization and on the analysis of epistemic models they offer, such as "critical cosmopolitanism" and “coloniality of power". The author analyze works of many western writers as well as "postsoviet" writers: Vic. Erofeev, P. Krusanov, A. Volos, A. Mamedov, Iu. Andriukhovich, O Zabuzhko, Peter Vile, T. Tolstaia, V, Sorokin, etc. Bibliography.
