Библиотека, в которой одна полка: как можно было прочитать К. К. Вагинова в 1960–1980-е

Abstract

The article is devoted to the late-Soviet history of the legacy of Konstantin Vaginov: attempts at publishing his work, inaccessible foreign bilingual publications, special cases of acquaintance with his texts, and cases of reflection initiated by them. The methods of access to Vaginov’s work dictated an antiquarian type of reception of his texts, which functioned more as material traces of culture or discourse of cultural communication, rather than as objects of readers’ interpretations. Vaginov’s case of reception makes it possible to problematize the process of reading / attitudes towards cultural artifacts, as well as to complicate the idea of the media conditions for transferring unconventional information in the late Soviet period.
