Making the New Post-Soviet Person: Moral Experience in Contemporary Moscow: Russian History and Culture, cartea 5

Autor Jarrett Zigon
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 mar 2010
The post-Soviet years have widely been interpreted as a period of intense moral questioning, debate, and struggle. Despite this claim few studies have revealed how this moral experience has been lived and articulated by Russians themselves. This book provides an intimate portrait of how five Muscovites have experienced the post-Soviet years as a period of intense refashioning of their moral personhood, and how this process can only be understood at the intersection of their unique personal experiences, a shared Russian/Soviet history, and increasingly influential global discourses and practices. The result is a new approach to understanding everyday moral experience and the processes by which new moral persons are cultivated.

Recenzii

"Jarrett Zigon’s new book is a fresh and welcome addition to the growing body of ethnography on postsocialist Russia [...] More important and successful here is Zigon’s effort to step decisively away from essentialist visions of what “Russian morality” (242) might be in order to emphasize the dialogic and intersubjective nature of moral experience. While this makes for fewer of the “take-away” insights into postsocialist moral culture some readers will be seeking, it also enables a thoughtful, original, and thought-provoking contribution to the anthropology of morality and personhood more broadly." – Jennifer Patico, Georgia State University, in: Slavic Review 70/3 (Fall 2011), pp. 720-1
