the collapse of the soviet union forced russia to engage in a process of nation building. this involved a reassessment of the past, both historical and cultural, and how it should be remembered. the publication of previously barely known underground and émigré literary works presented an opportunity to reappraise «official» soviet literature and re-evaluate twentieth-century russian literature as a whole.
this book explores changes to the poetry canon - an instrument for maintaining individual and collective memory - to show how cultural memory has informed the evolution of post-soviet russian identity. it examines how concerns over identity are shaping the canon, and in which directions, and analyses the interrelationship between national identity (whether ethnic, imperial, or civic) and attempts to revise the canon. this study situates the discussion of national identity within the cultural field and in the context of canon formation as a complex expression of aesthetic, political, and institutional factors. it encompasses a period of far-reaching upheaval in russia and reveals the tension between a desire for change and a longing for stability that was expressed by attempts to reshape the literary canon and, by doing so, to create a new twentieth-century past and the foundations of a new identity for the nation.
in the 1980s, the ontario board of censors began to subject media artists’ work to the same cuts, bans, and warning labels as commercial film. this innovative exploration of how art and law intersected in the ensuing censor wars turns a spotlight on the powerful role that artists can play in the administration of culture. when artists and their anti-censorship allies mounted grassroots protests and entered courts of law, they impacted how the province interpreted freedom of expression. the language of the law in turn shaped the way artists conceived of their own practices.
