This book examines the feeling that we often refer to as 'nostalgia' from the perspective of writers and artists located on the (imperial, Soviet, and Post-Soviet) periphery of Russian culture who regard the center of the culture from which they have been excluded with varying degrees of longing and ambivalence. The literary and artistic texts analyzed here have been shaped by these author's ruminations on social and psychological marginalization, a process that S. Boym has called 'reflective nostalgia' and that the authors of this volume also refer to as 'toska'.

It's time to get beyond melancholy and to stop enjoying our misery. Between two deaths presents a critical artistic reflection on the political, social, and cultural trend toward melancholic introspection. The effects can be felt everywhere : conservative cultural debates, insecurity, and lethargy are spreading. Key terms for this tendency in contemporary art are neo-romanticism, angst, horror, and neo-goth. Featuring essays by philosophers, psychoanalysts, art historians, and sociologists on such topics as melancholy and melodrama in contemporary art, this publication uncovers the roots of the dilemma - and shows a path beyond. An appendix with texts on the works shown and brief biographies and bibliographies of each artist completes the volume.

Realizing that they cannot return to their original maternal environment, men, whether knowingly or not, embark on a lifelong search for a sense of being at home in the world. 'At Home in the World' focuses on works of art as a mean
