Conjuring the Truth: Yuri Tynianov’s ‘Real’ Pushkin
ISBN: 9781800798755 / Angielski / Twarda / 484 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is the first single volume in either English or Russian on the representation of Pushkin in Yuri Tynianov’s novels. It demonstrates the percipience and originality of Tynianov’s concept of Pushkin’s personality and assesses Tynianov’s contribution to the Soviet historical novel. The approach re-orients the angle of investigation from the study of his novels as historical biographical works with their adherence to chronology and factuality to their study within the generic frameworks of other genres, which allowed Tynianov to create a new, artistically viable form of novel. The... This is the first single volume in either English or Russian on the representation of Pushkin in Yuri Tynianov’s novels. It demonstrates the perc... |

Media and Cultural Policy in the European Union
ISBN: 9789042021754 / Angielski / Twarda / 249 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The areas of media and cultural policy offer a unique prism through which to understand wider processes of European integration. Questions of European identity, citizenship and community or polity-building clearly resolve themselves as questions of the (non-)emergence of a European 'communicative space'. At the same time, as a more specific area of policy study, the role which has or may be played by the European institutions themselves in the fostering of such a 'communicative space' raises questions as to both the effectiveness and the legitimacy of their interventions. This volume in the...
