Abstract
This review of four books describes how recent Slavic scholarship disrupts the world-system discussion that places Paris, London, and New York at the center and relegates the rest, including Moscow, to the periphery. Arguably, ideological profits might be a motivating factor, beyond the economic profits associated with Western nations. As a result, the four books offer examples of how we might reorient the scholarly discussions of world-systems and the center-periphery relationships of a world literature.
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.
