Abstract
This paper introduces a thematic cluster derived from the conference ‘A Culture of (Dis)Continuity? Russian Cultural Debates in Historical Perspective’, held at the University of Central Lancashire, England, in May 2016. It maps the place of this vast, diverse, and increasingly relevant topic in current debates by situating it within the polemics of a broader nature – of the existing methodological approaches to studying cultures and their evolutions. It then elucidates the contribution of this ‘(dis)continuity’ cluster to the existing research, with a focus on Russian literary discourse.
期刊介绍:
Russian Literature combines issues devoted to special topics of Russian literature with contributions on related subjects in Croatian, Serbian, Czech, Slovak and Polish literatures. Moreover, several issues each year contain articles on heterogeneous subjects concerning Russian Literature. All methods and viewpoints are welcomed, provided they contribute something new, original or challenging to our understanding of Russian and other Slavic literatures. Russian Literature regularly publishes special issues devoted to: • the historical avant-garde in Russian literature and in the other Slavic literatures • the development of descriptive and theoretical poetics in Russian studies and in studies of other Slavic fields.
