"Throughout its modern history, Russia has seen a succession of highly performative social acts that play out prominently in the public sphere. This innovative volume shows that performance is a vital means for understanding Russia's culture from the reign of Peter the Great to the era of Putin. These twenty-seven essays encompass a diverse range of topics, from dance and classical music to live poetry and from viral video to public jubilees and political protest. As a whole they comprise an integrated, compelling intervention in Russian studies. Challenging the primacy of the written word in this field, the volume fosters a larger intellectual community informed by theories and practices of performance from anthropology, art history, dance studies, film studies, cultural and social history, literary studies, musicology, political science, theater studies, and sociology"--Back cover.

Text of Note

Russian Performances is the first volume to bring the field of Russian Studies, broadly conceived, into dialog with the field of Performance Studies. The volume has a guiding vision: to demonstrate the relevance of Performance Studies to the study of Russia, as well as the unique genealogy of Performance Studies in the Russian context, that is, to show both theory and praxis. The contributions to Russian Performances foster larger intellectual communities by showcasing new work in Russian Studies from the disciplines of anthropology, art history, dance studies, film studies, cultural and social history, literary studies, musicology, political science, theater studies, and sociology. The book contains 27 brief essays, each of which analyzes and theorizes a particular instance of performance in Russian culture.
