The Svetlana Boym Reader
Autor Svetlana Boym Editat de Prof Cristina Vatulescu, Dr Tamar Abramov, Professor Nicole G. Burgoyne, Prof Julia Chadaga, Prof Jacob Emery, Prof Julia Vaingurten Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 apr 2018
Svetlana Boym was a prolific writer, a charismatic professor, a novelist, and a public intellectual. She was also a fiercely resourceful and reflective immigrant; her most resonant book, The Future of Nostalgia, was deeply rooted in that experience. Even after The Future of Nostalgia carried her fame beyond academic circles, few readers were aware of all of her creative personas. She was simply too prolific, and her work migrated across most people's disciplinary boundaries-from literary and cultural studies through film, visual, and material culture studies, performance, intermedia, and new media.The Svetlana Boym Reader presents a comprehensive view of Boym's singularly creative work in all its aspects. It includes Boym's classic essays, carefully chosen excerpts from her five books, and journalistic gems. Showcasing her roles both as curator and curated, the reader includes interviews and excerpts from exhibition catalogues as well as samples of intermedial works like Hydrant Immigrants. It also features autobiographical pieces that shed light on the genealogy of her scholarly work and rarities like an excerpt from Boym's first graduate school essay on Russian literature, complete with marginalia by her mentor Donald Fanger. Last but not least, the reader includes late pieces that Boym did not live to see through publication, as well as transcripts of her memorable last lectures and performances.

Recenzii
A striking work of literature that embodies Boym's ideas, ethics, principles, and values in its very process of creation and curation of her work.
For people already familiar with Boym's work, or for those simply interested in the diverse subjects it tackles, this volume will be an excellent sourcebook. It showcases Boym's intellectual versatility, her eloquence, and her passion. At a time when migration is evoked everywhere but poorly understood in its cultural, intellectual, and historical implications, Boym's patient, and personal, examination of the phenomenon is invaluable. Her work develops an inspiring view of the university as a realm where creativity trumps neoliberal expediency.
Every emigrant tries to make 'families' wherever he/she goes. Svetlana Boym made hers among students, academics, artists, writers and thinkers, in different geographical sites, even in cyberspace, bumping into unknown interlocutors. The Svetlana Boym Reader is an impressive book put together in her honor by the members of her 'family'-her former students, literature scholars, and academic acquaintances. Cristina Vatulescu, Tamar Abramov, Nicole G. Burgoyne, Julia Chadaga, Jacob Emery, and Julia Vaingurt have compiled selections of Boym's work, grouped by her favorite themes, with each theme introduced by the editors. This book is a brilliant scholarly achievement, but it is also an intimate and emotional one. All the texts invite the reader to join a dialogue, as inspirational dialogue was what Svetlana Boym missed the most and enjoyed the most when she found it.
Svetlana Boym's eloquent, ironic, deeply personal writings explore issues of major concern today: emigration and exile, art and politics, trauma and nostalgia. The Svetlana Boym Reader's rich suite of selections illuminates the deep continuities in her multifaceted work as it developed over time, redefining modernity-and off-modernity-for a global era.
