{"product_id":"tekstura-russian-essays-on-visual-culture","title":"Tekstura. Russian essays on visual culture","description":"\u003cp\u003eFascinated by the myth of the Russian avant-garde and scornful of official art, the West has been selective in its engagement with Russian visual culture. Yet how do contemporary Russian scholars and critics themselves approach the history of visual culture in the former Soviet Union?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaking its title from a Russian word that can refer to the ’texture” of life, painting, or writing, this anthology assembles thirteen key essays in art history and cultural theory by Russian-language writers. The essays erase boundaries between high and low, official and dissident, avant-garde and socialist realism, art and everyday life. Everything visual is deemed worthy of analysis, whether painting or propaganda banners, architecture or candy wrappers, mass celebrations or urban refuse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompiled for general readers and specialists alike, \u003cem\u003eTekstura\u003c\/em\u003e is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Russian and Soviet cultural history or in new theoretical approaches to the visual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCONTENTS!\u003cbr\u003eForeword, Stephen Bann\u003cbr\u003eObject, Space, Culture: Introduction, Alla Efimova and Lev Manovich\u003cbr\u003e1 The Study of Ideologies and Philosophy of Language, V.
