The Life Cycle of Russian Things re-orients commodity studies using
interdisciplinary and comparative methods to foreground unique
Russian and Soviet materials as varied as apothecary wares,
isinglass, limestone and tanks. It also transforms modernist and
Western interpretations of the material by emphasizing the
commonalities of the Russian experience. Expert contributors from
across the United States, Canada, Britain, and Germany come
together to situate Russian material culture studies at an
interdisciplinary crossroads. Drawing upon theory from
anthropology, history, and literary and museum studies, the volume
presents a complex narrative, not only in terms of material
consumption but also in terms of production and the secondary life
of inheritance, preservation, or even destruction. In doing so, the
book reconceptualises material culture as a lived experience of
sensory interaction. The Life Cycle of Russian Things sheds new
light on economic history and consumption studies by reflecting the
diversity of Russia's experiences over the last 400 years.
