Märksõnad:
This volume investigates energy as a shaping force in Russian and Soviet literature, visual culture, and social practice. Chronologically arranged chapters explain how nineteenth-century ideas about energy informed realist novels and paintings; how the poetics of energy defined pre-Revolutionary and Stalinist utopianism; and how fossil fuels, electricity, and nuclear fission generated distinct aesthetic features in Imperial Russian, Soviet, and post-Soviet literature, cinema, and landscape. The volumes concentration on Russia responds to a clear need to understand the role the country plays in social, political, and economic processes endangering life on Earth today. The cultural dimension of Russias efforts at energy dominance deserves increased scholarly attention not only in its own right, but also because it directly affects global energy policy. As the contributors to this volume argue, the nationally inflected cultural myths that underlie human engagements with energyhave been highly consequential in the Anthropocene.

The chapters make for an energizing read and present ideas and approaches that will inspire anyone interested in energy humanities, or literary and cultural history of Rus- sia and the Soviet Union. Rather than reproducing ecocritical approaches that developed from other (largely Anglophone) aesthetic and cultural traditions, this book confidently suggests that study of Russian and Soviet energy culture might lead to modifications in existing approaches. (Lily Scott, Slavic & East European Journal, Vol.67 (4), 2023)





The volumes thirteen chapters are arranged chronologically and draw from multiple disciplines. One of its strengths is the capacious definition of 'energy culture.' ... Given the prominence of Russia and the former Soviet states on the global and energy-industrial stage, Energy Culture is a valuable primer on the energy conflicts, infrastructures, and cultures that will continue to radiate from this part of the world. (Isabel Lane, ISLE - Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature and Environment, Vol.30 (4), 2023)
