Overcoming and Surpassing: Ukrainian and Russian Literature in the post-Soviet Period. Stuttgart: ibidem; Submitted.Abstract

The book, accepted for publication at ibidem-Press, focuses on questions of conceptualization of the post-Soviet literature in Russia and Ukraine as "postmodern." This comparative study discusses definitions of postmodernism in the West vs. in Russia and Ukraine, reviews the literary discussions in each country as to the postmodern condition, and offers interpretations of key works by Russian (V. Pelevin, V. Sorokin) and Ukrainian (O. Zabuzhko, Yu. Andrukhovych) authors who are generally considered "postmodern."

On Nov. 21, summoned by a Facebook post by a journalist named Mustafa Nayem, more than 1,500 Ukrainians showed up in Independence Square in Kiev to protest their government’s decision to “pause” preparations for signing an association agreement with the European Union. The next day, more crowds gathered, in Kiev and other cities. Soon, the protesters numbered over 100,000.

Die Anweisungen kommen immer morgens und ohne Absender. Zehn, zwölf Seiten, per Fax oder Email. "Analytische Notiz" steht darüber, manchmal auch "Achtung!". Empfänger: die Nachrichtenchefs der weitgehend privaten Sender und Zeitungen in der Ukraine. Das Schreiben diktiert die Themen des Tages und wie sie zu behandeln sind - möglichst wortgetreu. Man kann es mißachten, aber dann ist man den Job los. Im schlimmsten Fall wird der Sender oder die Zeitung geschlossen und verkauft.
