Language: RussianThis collection of articles examines different aspects of socialist realism, now extinct as a literary phenomenon, but still alive in the popular consciousness and nourishing Russian postmodernist art. The authors argue against equating socialist realism (with its subjugation to the totality of the goal) to the avant-guard (emancipated from any non-esthetic tasks). They describe the differences between socialist realism and the magical realism of T. Mann, Kafka, Platonov, and Borges, point to “Sovietisms” in modern Russian language and the languages of former socialist countries, explore the trend as a phenomenon of mass culture. There are articles about Lukacs, Maiakovskii, O. Suleimenov. A separate essay analyzes the decline of Stanislavski’s system in the Russian theater. Bibliographic references.
