Shnur 'Against Sincerity
This article examines the paradoxical relationship between discourses of sincerity and an aesthetics of imperfection in twenty-first-century pop culture, with special attention to the Russian music scene. We focus on the career of cult musician Sergei Shnurov to address this broader question: What do present-day anxieties around sincerity tell us about pop-cultural production and consumption processes? First, we offer a genealogy of post-Soviet s…
(Plat)forms after Genres
Ever since the 1960s, Russophone professional and lay authors have been leaving the printed page and climbing onto other – and, with time, online – platforms, and pairing words with (moving) images with fervour. How should we define their activities? How should we assess their visual and digital experiments? Can a social-media entry in verse by a poet be considered literature? To what extent can the text-oriented tools of traditional literary stu…
Trash, dirt, glitch
‘Trash, dirt, glitch’ offers an introduction to a cluster devoted to trash, dirt and glitch – concepts that, in aesthetic and artistic domains, firmly merit joint exploration. In fashion and urban design, music, art and other aesthetic practices, the trashy, the dirty and the glitchy interconnect in complex choreographies, in discourses and practices where they are framed as benefit rather than bother. For this cluster, the authors asked four sch…

The global cultural practice of a “new sincerity” in literature, media, art, design, fashion, film, and architecture grew steadily in the wake of the Soviet collapse. This book traces the rise and proliferation of a new rhetoric of sincere social expression charact…
(Russian) Writer-Bloggers
This article explores readings of (micro)blogging services as outlets for playful, "imperfect" language. Adopting a transcultural approach, it examines a blog category that has attracted scarce academic attention to date: the creative worker's blog. Through a qualitative analysis of metalinguistic statements by 14 Russian writer-bloggers, the author tests 2 interdependent hypotheses: (H1) through metalinguistic statements and pragmatic strategies…
Memory, Conflict and New Media
This book examines the online memory wars in post-Soviet states - where political conflicts take the shape of heated debates about the recent past, and especially World War II and Soviet socialism. To this day, former socialist states face the challenge of constructing national identities, producing national memories, and relating to the Soviet legacy. Their pasts are principally intertwined: changing readings of history in one country generate f…
