Description

Description: “Where to live?”, “How to live?”, and “With whom to live?” are the questions that were tantamount in the beginning of the 20th century, when communism promised the new man, the new society, and new spaces. Literary and autobiographical texts in Russia and in the West reflect upon the clash between dreamworld and reality – for while projects for ideal living were abundant, living space was minimal.”

Chaired by Thomas Lahusen (University of Toronto)
