We are delighted to invite you to our next lecture in our Criticism and the Novel series: “Dominance without Hegemony: Poetics and Politics in Russian Realism”, featuring Prof. Dr. Ilya Kliger. This series is an initiative of the Graduate Programme in Comparative Literature at UFRJ in partnership with the Graduate Programme in English Linguistic and Literary Studies at the University of São Paulo.
In his talk, Prof. Dr. Kliger will discuss what happens to the novel when its fundamental socio-historical orientation is driven toward the state, as in the case of Russian realism. Challenging much current scholarly consensus about the social dynamics of nineteenth-century realist fiction, Sovereign Fictions offers an important intervention in socially inflected theories of the novel and in current thinking on representations of power and historical poetics.
Ilya Kliger is associate professor of Russian and Slavic studies at New York University, where he is also director of undergraduate studies in the Department of Russian and Slavic Studies. Kliger is the author of The Narrative Shape of Truth: Veridiction in Modern European Literature and the coeditor of Persistent Forms: Practicing Historical Poetics.
