Recenzii
" ... this collection of essays analyses the rise of popular culture in Russia following the influx of Western influences... the book is a veritable pot-pourri of the dislocated nature of a society reinventing itself in the image of its imperial past as well as that of the 21st century West ... Although Consuming Russia applauds today's experiment with new forms of "people's" culture rather than the elitism of the past, it is not oblivious to the contradictions inherent in a society in transition."--Morning Star, 4 January 2000 "Adele Marie Baker has compiled some twenty essays on post-Soviet Russian popular culture in a volume concerned with two aspects of this growing area of study: the richness and diversity of expression in 1990s society, and the question of applicability of Western cultural theory to Russia. The result is a most readable, at times disparate, but illuminating and important contribution to our understanding of what we can now describe as the culture of the El'stin era"--S.E.E.R., 79, 3, 2001
Textul de pe ultima copertă
"An invaluable key to reading the cultural salad of today's Russia, useful to students as well as to their teachers. Barbie dolls, detective fiction, raves and the gay scene, tattoos and graffiti, even an Argentine soap opera that advertises a pyramid scheme: "Consuming Russia" is great as a classroom text and as a guidebook to the changing face of popular culture."--James von Geldern, Macalester College
