Doctoral Project
Das politische Imaginäre eurasischer Fiktionsräume: Entwürfe imperialer Ordnungen im postsowjetischen Russland
The political imaginary of Eurasian fictional spaces: imperial discourses in post-Soviet Russia
In my dissertation project, I invesigate the (neo-)Eurasian methods of representing identity and how these identities were reflected in post-Soviet Russian literature within the context of the political imagination. The guiding thesis of this theoretical paradigm assumes that community formation is based on the imaginary order, which is understood as man's creative power to produce new meaningful images, symbols and forms. This process also presupposes the space of the political, since the patterns of thought underlying the commonwealth are realized in political instutitions as well as social institutions.
At the center of my analysis are narrative strategies, collective symbols and figurations, with which different texts design the political imagination. On the one hand, the rhetorical processes of unity in the (neo-)Eurasian philosophical-ideological movement are studied. On the other hand, the literary examination of (neo-)Eurasian discursive positions on the basis of selected texts should be taken into consideration. The question arises as to how the post-Soviet Russian literature refers to the (neo-)Eurasian imaginations and what inter and counter discourses it develops.
