Series Studies in Russian literature and theory
Studies in Russian literature and theory.
Contents Contexts Beyond the Soviet sixties: the origins and contexts of guitar poetry -- Gray zones: theories of marginality in a Russian-Soviet context -- Guitar poetry's selves and communities -- Guitar poetry and the creation of lichnost' -- "KSP state": audience reception, self-fashioning, and "conversations between friends" -- Lyrical marginalities and beyond -- Overt marginality: antisovetchina -- Covert marginality: the significance of insignificance -- Genre-bending and "hypergenericity."
Summary "This book is a study of a Soviet cultural phenomenon of the 1960s and 70s known as guitar poetry - songs accompanied by guitar and considered poetry in much the same way as those of, for example, Bob Dylan. Platonov's is the most comprehensive book in English to date to analyze guitar poetry, which has rarely received scholarly attention outside of Russia."--Project Muse.
