Russian Emigre Culture - Conservatism or Evolution? (Hardcover, Unabridged edition)

A quarter of a century ago, glasnost opened the door for a new look at Russian emigre culture unimpeded by the sterile concepts of Cold War cultural politics. Easier access to archives and a comprehensive approach to culture as a multi-faceted phenomenon, not restricted to single phenomena or individuals, have since contributed to a better understanding of the processes within the emigre community, of its links with the lost home country, and of the interaction with the cultural life of the countries of adoption.This volume offers a collection of critical articles that resulted from the international interdisciplinary symposium which was held at Saarland University in November 2011 as part of a one-week festival, "Russian Music in Exile". Scholars from around the world contributed essays reflecting current perspectives on Russian emigre culture, shedding new light on cultural diplomacy, literature, art, and music, and covering essentially the whole 20th century, from pre-revolutionary movements to the present. The interdisciplinary approach of the volume shows that emigre networks were not confined to a particular segment of culture, but united composers, artists, critics, and even diplomats. On the whole, the contributions to this volume document the fascinating diversity, the internal contradictions, as well as the impact that the largest and most durable emigre movement of the 20th century had on European cultural life.
