Roads Not Taken: An Intellectual Biography of William C. Bullitt
ISBN: 9780822965039 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. A journalist, diplomat, and writer, William Christian Bullitt (1891-1967) negotiated with Lenin and Stalin, Churchill and de Gaulle, Chiang Kai-shek and Goering. He took part in the talks that ended World War I and those that failed to prevent World War II. While his former disciples led American diplomacy into the Cold War, Bullitt became an early enthusiast of the European Union. From his early (1919) proposal of disassembling the former Russian Empire into dozens of independent states, to his much later (1944) advice to land the American troops in the Balkans rather than in Normandy,...

Eros of the Impossible: The History of Psychoanalysis in Russia
ISBN: 9780367010256 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Marxism was not the only Western idea to influence the course of Russian history. In the early decades of this century, psychoanalysis was one of the most important components of Russian intellectual life. Freud himself, writing in 1912, said that "in Russia, there seems to be a veritable epidemic of psychoanalysis." But until Alexander Etkind's Eros of the Impossible, the hidden history of Russian involvement in psychoanalysis has gone largely unnoticed and untold. The early twentieth century was a time when the craving of Russian intellectuals for world culture found a natural outlet in...

Internal Colonization: Russia's Imperial Experience
ISBN: 9780745651309 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. This book gives a radically new reading of Russia's cultural history. Alexander Etkind traces how the Russian Empire conquered foreign territories and domesticated its own heartlands, thereby colonizing many peoples, Russians included. This vision of colonization as simultaneously internal and external, colonizing one's own people as well as others, is crucial for scholars of empire, colonialism and globalization.
Starting with the fur trade, which shaped its enormous territory, and ending with Russia's collapse in 1917, Etkind explores serfdom, the peasant commune, and other...

Russia Against Modernity
ISBN: 9781509556571 / Angielski / Twarda / 2023 / 154 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. Putin’s war is a “special operation” against modernity. The invasion has been directed against Ukraine, but the war has a broader target: the modern world of climate awareness, energy transition and digital labor. By trading oil and gas, promoting Trump and Brexit, spreading corruption, boosting inequality and homophobia, subsidizing far-right movements and destroying Ukraine, Putin’s clique aims at suppressing the ongoing transformation of modern societies. Alexander Etkind distinguishes between Russia’s pompous, weaponized paleomodernity, on the one hand, and the lean,...

Warped Mourning: Stories of the Undead in the Land of the Unburied
ISBN: 9780804773928 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. After Stalin's death in 1953, the Soviet Union dismantled the enormous system of terror and torture that he had created. But there has never been any Russian ban on former party functionaries, nor any external authority to dispense justice. Memorials to the Soviet victims are inadequate, and their families have received no significant compensation. This book's premise is that late Soviet and post-Soviet culture, haunted by its past, has produced a unique set of memorial practices. More than twenty years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia remains "the land of the unburied": the...

Cultural Forms of Protest in Russia
ISBN: 9781138956650 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Alongside the Arab Spring, the 'Occupy' anti-capitalist movements in the West, and the events on the Maidan in Kiev, Russia has had its own protest movements, notably the political protests of 2011-12. As elsewhere in the world, these protests had unlikely origins, in Russia's case spearheaded by the 'creative class'. This book examines the protest movements in Russia. It discusses the artistic traditions from which the movements arose; explores the media, including the internet, film, novels and fashion, through which the protesters have expressed themselves; and considers the outcome of...

Remembering Katyn
ISBN: 9780745655772 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Katyn- the Soviet massacre of over 21,000 Polish prisoners in 1940 - has come to be remembered as Stalin's emblematic mass murder, an event obscured by one of the most extensive cover-ups in history. Yet paradoxically, a majority of its victims perished far from the forest in western Russia that gives the tragedy its name. Their remains lie buried in killing fields throughout Russia, Ukraine and, most likely, Belarus. Today their ghosts haunt the cultural landscape of Eastern Europe. This book traces the legacy of Katyn through the interconnected memory cultures of seven countries:...
