Books about books, readers and collectors
The synergetic effect of simultaneous reading is examined using the example of a recent book by Oxford professor of English literature Emma Smith, “Portable Magic: A History of Books and Their Readers”, and the half-century-old “History of Soviet Bibliophilia” by Leningrad professor of Russian literature Pavel Berkov. Simultaneous or joint reading is likened to conjoint analysis, where the reader finds himself in the role of a test subject. By co…
Straightening the Maelstrom
The article is a reflection on Varvara Preter’s (Chumakova) book In the Center of the Cyclone, which reveals the possibilities of instrumentalizing M. McLuhan’s theory to study contemporary media realities. The format of “reflections on the book” is used to trace non-obvious but relevant and heuristic connections and contexts. One of them is the work of P. Sorokin, which anticipates M. McLuhan’s initial position on the universality of media. In t…
“Fragments of Some Not Yet Realized Plan”
The article considers the comprehension of the Urals industrialization in the fiction and non-fiction texts. The authors reveal three perspectives of alternative history: firstly, “future that did not happen” — planned but not written texts about the Urals by M. Prishvin, L. Alpatov, B. Pasternak, I. Ehrenburg, secondly, “future-in-present” — propagandistic projects of recruiting people to build new factories (the essays of A. Malenky and N. Lovt…
Russian Town Museums and Cultures of Memory
This article is devoted to the theoretical and methodological problematisation of the role played by museums in the formation of memory cultures in small towns. The authors refer to materials from field expeditions (2021–2022) in ten Russian towns selected based on their geographical location, origin, age, and other parameters. The museum network is usually analysed regarding larger cultural centres but this concept applies to smaller towns, wher…
Her Life through Their Eyes. Reflections on A. Korevanova’s Book “My Life” (1936), which Arose under the Influence of the Revised Edition “Her Life” (2020)
The article provides an experience of reflexive reading of the autobiographical book of the Ural “peasant – worker” Agrippina Korevanova “My Life”, published in 1936 by the Moscow publishing house “History of Plants”, using the method of analyzing the narrative through ‘four readings’, focusing attention step by step on the plot and the reader’s reaction, the narrator’s I and the voices of Others, on cultural contexts and social structures. Press…
Authorship / Subjectivity in the Experience of Russian Biographical Projects of the First Half of the 20th Century
In the first half of the 20th century a number of projects with a historical and biographical “stuffing” were carried out in our country, from psychologist N. Rybnikov’s activity to establish Biographical Institute up to Gorky’s “History of the Civil War”, “History of Factories and Plants” and the Mintz Commission on the History of the Great Patriotic War. The affiliation of these projects to the first stage of the development of the biographical…
Politics or Romance
Student unrest of 1956 in Soviet universities is examined based on the example of the Ural State University and the Ural Polytechnic Institute in Sverdlovsk. Student attitudes are analyzed in terms of social and critical thinking, and the reaction of authorities — in light of the policy towards the intelligentsia. The theoretical and methodological frame of analysis is constructivism, with emphasis put on aspects of bilateral, reciprocal design a…
(Im)Mobility in the Mood sand Attitudes of Soviet People
Mobility, as well as inclusion, is attributed by default with a positive connotation, which creates the illusion of an always subjective choice. The article discusses forced (im) mobility, which evacuated, labor-mobilized and certain other individuals were subject to during wartime and post-war periods in the Urals. The main task of this study was to figure out who these people appeared to be in the discourse constructs of their time — subjective…
“The whole region with people, nature and all the riches…” (Review
A History of the Urals by British historian Paul Dukes is the first book to introduce the English-speaking reader to the life of the Urals from Ivan the Terrible to the present day, the characters of the narrative thus being not only Yermak and Tatishchev, but also Trotsky, Yeltsin, and Roizman. Known from his publications of Catherine's Russia and of the USA and the USSR superpowers, among others, Dukes became interested in the Urals through com…
