With the Russian Federation’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, models of cultural resistance to authoritarian regimes are more urgent than ever. In forty-four chapters, the “Oxford Handbook of Soviet Underground Culture” (Oxford University Press 2024) presents a wealth of knowledge about unofficial Soviet culture—an inexhaustible source of such models. Proposing the concept of lifeworlds as a theoretical approach to underground culture, the Handbook presents a wide variety of the Soviet cultural underground, from literature to visual art and performance, from the 1930s to the perestroika period, implicitly proposing an alternative version of Soviet cultural history and its canon.
The discussion will be chaired by Matthias Schwartz (ZfL).
The event is organized in cooperation with TU Dresden.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
