Transnational Russian Studies offers an approach to understanding
Russia based on the idea that language, society and culture do not
neatly coincide, but should be seen as flows of meaning across
ever-shifting boundaries. Our book moves beyond static conceptions
of Russia as a discrete nation with a singular language, culture,
and history. Instead, we understand it as a multinational society
that has perpetually redefined Russianness in reaction to the wider
world. We treat Russian culture as an expanding field, whose sphere
of influence transcends the geopolitical boundaries of the Russian
Federation, reaching as far as London, Cape Town, and Tehran. Our
transnational approach to Russian Studies generates new
perspectives on the history of Russian culture and its engagements
with, and transformation by, other cultures. The volume thereby
simultaneously illuminates broader conceptions of the transnational
from the perspective of Russian Studies. Over twenty chapters, we
provide case studies based on original research, treating topics
that include Russia's imperial and postcolonial entanglements; the
paradoxical role that language plays in both defining culture in
national terms, and facilitating transnational communication; the
life of things 'Russian' in the global arena; and Russia's
positioning in the contemporary globalized world. Our volume is
aimed primarily at students and researchers in Russian Studies, but
it will also be relevant to all Modern Linguists, and to those who
employ transnational paradigms within the broader humanities.

The powerful, impassioned, and often frenetic prose of Fedor
Dostoevsky continues to fascinate readers in the twenty-first
century, even though we are far removed from Dostoevsky's Russia. A
Dostoevsky Companion: Texts and Contexts aims to help students and
readers navigate the writer's fiction and his world, to better
understand the cultural and sociopolitical milieu in which
Dostoevsky lived and wrote. Rather than offer a single definitive
view of the author, the book contains a collection of documents
from Dostoevsky's own time (excerpts from his letters, his
journalism, and what his contemporaries wrote about him), as well
as extracts from the major critical studies of Dostoevsky from the
contemporary academy. The volume equips readers with a deeper
understanding of Dostoevsky's world and his writing, offering new
paths and directions for interpreting his writing.
