Description: Formalists against Imperialism by Anna Aydinyan Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Formalists against Imperialism reveals the artistic foresight of Russian formalist and modernist writer Yuri Tynianov into the phenomenon later known as Orientalism. Publisher Description In January 1829, an angry mob in Tehran murdered Russian poet and diplomat Alexander Griboedov, author of the verse comedy Woe from Wit and architect of the Russian annexation of the north Caucasus from Persia after the Russo-Persian War. A century later, the Russian formalist writer Yury Tynianov wrote a historical novel about the event entitled The Death of Vazir-Mukhtar.In this wide-ranging study, Anna Aydinyan posits that The Death of Vazir-Mukhtar conceptualizes Orientalism fifty years before Edward Said coined the term. She argues that Tynianov parodied historical works on the Caucasus in his novel in order to critique the ways in which exoticizing the East enabled imperialism and colonization. Analysing literary and non-literary texts on Russias relationship with Iran, along with the economic and cultural development of Transcaucasia after the Russo-Persian War, Formalists against Imperialism studies Russian culture within the framework of comparative colonialisms and examines the twentieth-century Russian reconsideration of the countrys imperial past. Author Biography Anna Aydinyan is an assistant professor of Russian at Kenyon College.
