Age of diaspora. Trajectories of foreign Russian literature (1920–2020) Digest of articles

What is the literature of the Russian diaspora, what unique experience is captured in the texts of writers of different waves of emigration, and is it right to talk about the diaspora in the age of Internet communication? The authors of the works collected in this book offer a view of the diaspora as a special cultural environment competing with the metropolis. Writers of Russian scattering consciously or unconsciously challenges the literary canon and key narratives of culture of the 20th century, addressing the marginal or taboo themes in the Russian tradition. The realization of the potential of emigration is associated in their work with overcoming language barriers and cultural stereotypes, understanding new anthropological practices, reformulating individual and collective identity. The collection of articles, edited by Maria Rubins, included the works of Andreas Schönl, David Betea, Mark Lipovetsky, Kevin M.F. Platt and other leading researchers of Russian culture
