{"product_id":"tbc_history-as-entertainment-9783837660777","title":"Appropriating History: The Soviet Past in Belarusian, Russian and Ukrainian Popular Culture","description":"Popular media plays an important role in reconstructing collective imaginations of history. The contributors to the volume investigate this phenomenon using case studies from Belarusian, Russian and Ukrainian popular cultures. Dramatic events and ruptures of the 20th century provide the material for playful as well as neo-imperialist and nationalist appropriations of the past. They show how in mainstream films, TV series, novels, comics and computer games, the reference to Soviet history offers role models, action patterns and even helps to justify current political and military developments. The volume thus presents new insights into the multi-layered and explosive dynamics of the popular cultures of Eastern Europe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Matthias Schwartz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 383766077X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783837660777\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Transcript Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/24\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 330\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Matthias Schwartz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44122941620479,"sku":"9783837660777","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ea4c8f3c-690e-4e5c-a906-cfc8434e321d.jpg?v=1687428002","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tbc_history-as-entertainment-9783837660777","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
