2018-: Perverting the Power Vertical: Politics and. Aesthetics in the Global East
Which power verticals hold sway over the Global East (and south and west and north)? And how can we identify alternative styles, shapes and geometries of power – horizontals, diagonals, perpendiculars, transversals, skews and intersections – within and without the (past, present and future of) the “trans-socialist” Global East? PPV is a restless-but-rooted events platform convened by Michał Murawski, Masha Mileeva and Denis Maksimov. In 2019-2020, PPV operates under the theme “PiraMMMida”. Please see PPV’s bespoke website for more detailed information.
Starting with the premise that there is no single ‘fundamental’ Russian cultural formation, this workshop examined the strategies of discursive constructions of Russianness and the Russian identity as enacted through cultural production in the geographically, chronologically and culturally distinct locations. Workshop convened by: Dr. Maria Rubins
