Abstract

An absorbing portrait of an extraordinary man, an analysis of the work of a great Russian poet, and the evocation of a crucial period in Russian cultural history-all are combined in Edward J. Brown's literary biography of Vladimir Mayakovsky. It is the only book to reveal the whole Mayakovsky, not just aspects of his tortured personality or artistic work, and will be immediately recognized as definitive.Mayakovsky contributed to the cultural life of Soviet Russia not only as a lyric poet but as a playwright, graphic artist, and satirist of the conventional art forms of his day. By examining his art in terms of his life, Edward Brown shows how intensely personal it was and how bound up in the literary and political history of his time. The intellectual turmoil of the period is skillfully re-created, especially the nature, ambience, and personalities of Russian futurism. Above all, the book reveals the man-a committed Bolshevik and a dedicated artist, but also a hypochondriac, compulsive gambler, and eventual suicide.Originally published in 1973.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Abstract

Russia under Vladimir Putin has proved a prickly partner for the West, a far cry from the democratic ally many hoped for when the Soviet Union collapsed. Abroad, Putin has used Russia's energy strength as a foreign policy weapon, while at home he has cracked down on opponents, adamant that only he has the right vision for his country's future.

Abstract

Die kontroversen Diskussionen um die politische Entwicklung in Russland seit der Machtübernahme durch Wladimir Putin im Jahr 2000 reißen nicht ab. Der Abbau demokratischer Rechte, wirtschaftliches Wachstum und Stabilität werden als Kennzeichen der Putin'schen Herrschaft hervorgehoben. Philipp Casula fokussiert in seiner Analyse hingegen auf die Genese des politischen Diskurses im Zeitraum 2000-2008 und erarbeitet dessen hegemoniale und populistische Tendenzen mithilfe der Ansätze von Ernesto Laclau. Die Studie wirft ein neues Licht auf die russische politische Entwicklung und produziert Erklärungen für die Regime-Stabilität Russlands unter Putin jenseits üblicher transformationstheoretischer Modelle. »Casula's analysis is strong in the careful reconstruction of the central ideas that have charactarized the Russian political field under Putin in the 2000s, with a rich repertoire of empirical material.« Martin Müller, The Russian Review, 72/3 (2013) »Casulas hegemonietheoretisch informierter Post-Transition-Ansatz entgeht dem impliziten Normativismus der traditionellen Transitionsforschung und trägt der Ergebnisoffenheit, der Prekarität und der Komplexität politischer Wandlungsprozesse Rechnung.« Marius Hildebrand, Portal für Politikwissenschaft, 24.07.2014 »Philipp Casula [ist] eine lesenswerte, sprachlich sehr ansprechende Arbeit gelungen, deren diskurstheoretischer Rahmen und empirische Ergebnisse ein vielschichtiges und differenziertes Bild von Russland im 21. Jahrhundert zeichnen, das gerade in puncto Demokratie und Russland überzeugende Argumente für diese notwendige, alternative Perspektive zu bisheriger Forschung liefert.« Eva Herschinger, Politische Vierteljahresschrift, 3 (2013) Besprochen in: Osteuropa, 63/7 (2013), Félix Krawatzek Sociologiceskie issledovanija, 8 (2013), Vladimir S. Avdonin
