Contents:
Frontmatter -- Contents -- Acknowledgements -- Note on Transliteration -- Introduction: Fitting in Russian Style -- Chapter One. The Crux of the Svoj/Chuzhoj Opposition -- Chapter Two. Making Svoj/Chuzhoj Divisive in Aleksandr Griboedov’s “Woe from Wit” -- Chapter Three. “Woe from Wit” as Social Gospel -- Chapter Four. The Demons are Social -- In Place of a Conclusion -- Bibliography -- Index
Summary: It is human nature to want to fit in. The lengths people have gone to do so have provided creative minds with material for centuries. This book explores the consequences of being marked an outsider in the Russian-speaking world through a close study of several seminal works of Russian literature. The author combines the fields of literary studies, linguistics, and sociology to illuminate what prompted Christof Ruhl, an economist at the World Bank, to comment, about Russia, “On a very broad scale, it’s a country where people care about their family and friends. Their clan. But not their society.”
