Presentations by Streams

The second panel in a stream dedicated to Russophone literatures and cultures aims to explore a wide range of theoretical approaches to the study of cultural production in the Russian language. Addressing texts and films by authors and filmmakers from Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan as well as from different regions of Russia through the lens of postcolonial studies, ecocriticism, identity and genre studies, the panel looks to deepen and further complicate our understanding of the notion of Russophonia. It will thus help expand the knowledge of postcolonial Russian-language cultures, introduce new methods of analysis, and hereby contribute to de-centering the existing Russian literary canons.
