Overview

What is the role and position of Russophone/Russian culture in Ukraine today? How can the dynamics of Ukrainian culture lend insight into the possibility of a global Russian culture, or multiple Russian cultures, in the contemporary world? The author responds to these questions by investi-gating the interplay between literature, politics, market, and identity in the contemporary Ukrainian cultural process (1991–2018). This book explores the contested encounters of the Russian language and culture with other languages, cultures, and traditions in the post-Soviet space, highlighting pressing contemporary issues related to—and affected by—political and social developments.

Marco Puleri's book is a thought-provoking study which for the first time consequently maps the Russophone literature from Ukraine as a hybrid discourse and a liminal cultural practice. (Alexander Chertenko, Ideology and Politics Journal, 2 (16), 2020: 382-391) [...] diese Arbeit einen ausserst wichtigen Beitrag zur gegenwartigen Slawistik mit ihren Teildisziplinen dar. Neben seinen konkreten, uberaus (er-) kenntnisreichen Analysen, die sowohl fur RussistInnen als auch fur UkrainistInnen von grossem Interesse sein werden, liefert seine Arbeit dringend notwendige Impulse fur die konzeptionelle Weiterentwicklung, ja vielleicht sogar Neuausrichtung der zukunftigen Slawistik im Allgemeinen und der Russistik im Besonderen. (Miriam Finkelstein, Anzeiger fur Slavische Philologie, (XLVII) 2019, 187-196) This book will be of interest to anyone working in the field of post-Soviet studies or interested in post-Soviet subjectivities, in that it makes a clear case for others to consider hybridity as an analytical tool in their studies of post-Soviet contexts. (Anna Vozna, Ab Imperio, 2020/4, 336-340)
