L’intreccio, il dettaglio e le cose: un apologo sulla fortuna sovietica di un termine dei formalisti
2022
The term siuzhetnaia proza, or ‘plot-based prose’, is recurrent in Soviet literary debate. Its roots lie in the basic Formalist opposition: if plot is the main device of prose, everything which is not plot must be regarded as motivation. This opposition involves psychology, but also details, i.e. objects (bourgeoisie idols). The term survived in Soviet debate as a euphemism for mass literature, called ‘plot-based literature’ by critics from a range of backgrounds. But is it possible to measure the space that plot occupies in a given work? And what about science fiction, a mass genre where the invention and the depiction of a world is fundamental?
Le «sentiment» comme facteur sémantique : la «sémantique représentationnelle» entre la «linguistique psychologique» et le formalisme
2016
Psychological linguistics - Heymann Steinthal in Germany (1823-1899) and Aleksandr Potebnia in Russia (1835-1891) - has borrowed from the psychology of its time the model of “representative semantics” according to which meanings are representations (Vorstellungen) connected to words. Within this frame, “feeling” (Gefühl) or “feeling tonality” belongs to the verbal representation, in particular to the semantic mechanism. This is also the case of Karl Otto Erdmann’s (1858-1931) semantics which distinguishes within the meaning a “secondary meaning” (Nebensinn) and a “value of feeling” (Gefühlswert). Within the formalist approach (it deals with the “Russian formalism”, 1914-1929), the analysis …
Was ist Alexander uns, was ist er der Welt?

Abstract This article explores trolling as a form of literary activity. It presents a number of specific types of trolling on the Russian-language Internet in connection with digital literature and the literary practices of various groups of Internet users. Techniques for writing provocative “troll-texts” were created and developed within subcultural groups in the 1990s. Later, from being a subversive practice known only to a few insiders, it became a mass technique described in meta-texts that identified rules for trolling and shared facts about its culture with all interested users. In the 2010s, the now popularised techniques of trolling came to be seen as effective strategies to deploy …
The occupation of Runet? : The tightening state regulation of the Russian-language section of the internet
2019
In this chapter, we scrutinise the Russian state’s regulation for political purposes of the Russian-language section of the internet or ‘Runet’, as it is often dubbed in Russia. We will focus on those regulative actions which came into force during and after the protest wave in Russia in 2011–2013. Internet and social media played an important role in the mobilisation of these protests that challenged the legitimacy of the ruling elite. We argue that the protests marked a watershed moment in the Russian government’s information policy, which had previously mainly functioned through the control of the federal Russian TV channels. After the protests, the Kremlin mounted a campaign to regulate…
<title>Latvian and Russian textbooks: eye movements in reading text formatted in two columns</title>
2008
Research of eye movements in reading textbooks suggests that reading the Cyrillic-based Russian language differs from reading the extended Latin-based Latvian texts. Ten bilingual students were asked to start reading a book passage in Latvian and to continue reading the text in Russian. Key parameters in information processing have been analyzed. Even though the difference in duration of fixations does not reach statistical significance, saccade size and regression rate are smaller in Russian.

This paper analyzes the use of the preposition in that in Ukrainian and Russian can assume the form v or na.
