New Perspectives on Post-Soviet Culture

Russian Postmodernism

Slobodanka M. Vladiv-Glover

This study represents a systematic analysis of the narrative situation in Dostoevskij's novel -The Possessed-. A Structuralist communication model of the semantic structure of the narrative work is used for the analysis. The key to the structure of the novel is found in the discrepancy between the level of meaning of the fictional narrator and the implied author. The entire novel is viewed as an advanced model of communication without prejudice to the socio-historical themes of the work."

A Structural Analysis

Narrative Principles in Dostoevskij's Besy

Recent decades have been decisive for Russia not only politically but culturally as well. The end of the Cold War has enabled Russia to take part in the global rise and crystallization of postmodernism. This volume investigates the manifestations of this crucial trend in Russian fiction, poetry, art, and spirituality, demonstrating how Russian postmodernism is its own unique entity. It offers a point of departure and valuable guide to an area of contemporary literary-cultural studies insufficiently represented in English-language scholarship. This second edition includes additional essays on the topic and a new introduction examining the most recent developments.
