Item description from seller

Hardcover. Using diverse historical and ethnographic materials, this collection explores the various relationships between people and things that were actively fostered during the seven decades of Soviet socialism. It demonstrates how things, not always fully socialist, energized social relations, shaped communities, cultivated new identities, objectified emerging attitudes, and provoked affective attachments. In particular, this collection pays close attention to what Viktor Shklovsky, the founder of Russian Formalism, called long-term thingspalpable, non-fictitious objects that refuse to disappear, insisting instead on their active presence and enduring relevance. This collection of essays explores a convoluted world of Soviet materiality. Inspired by multiple debates about the nature of the socialist thing, the book shows how daily objects emerged as the key tools for shaping a new socialist people and a new Soviet culture. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.
