Conspiracy Culture traces the roots of the phenomenon within the sphere of culture and history, examining the long arc of Russian paranoia from the present moment back to earlier nineteenth-century sources, such as Dostoevsky's anti-nihilist novel Demons. Conspiracy Culture examines the use of conspiracy tropes by contemporary Russian authors and filmmakers including the postmodernist writer Viktor Pelevin, the conservative author and pundit Aleksandr Prokhanov, and the popular director Timur Bekmambetov. It also explores paranoia as an instrument within contemporary Russian political rhetoric, as well as in Russian pseudo-historical works. What stands out is the manner in which Russian popular paranoia is utilized to express broadly shared fears not only of a long-standing anti-Russian conspiracy undertaken by the West, but also about the destruction of the country's cultural and spiritual capital within this imagined "Russophobic" plot."-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a From Vampire Capitalism to Enlightened Selfhood: Viktor Pelevin's (Anti)-Conspiracy Novels -- The Great Anti-Russian Plot: Aleksandr Prokhanov's Conspiracy Novels of the 2000s -- Timur Bekmambetov's Night Watch and Day Watch: Russia's Secret Others -- From the "Dulles Plan" to Pussy Riot: Conspiracy Theories in Today's Russia. 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 650 0 $a Russian fiction $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Conspiracies in literature. 650 0 $a Paranoia in literature. 650 0 $a Conspiracies in popular culture $z Russia (Federation) $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Paranoia in popular culture $z Russia (Federation) $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Conspiracies in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00875718 650 7 $a Conspiracies in popular culture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01902883 650 7 $a Paranoia in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01053037 650 7 $a Paranoia in popular culture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01904207 650 7 $a Russian fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01102012 651 7 $a Russia (Federation) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01262050 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i Online version: $a Livers, Keith A., 1963- $t Conspiracy culture. $d Toronto ; Buffalo ; London : University of Toronto Press, 2020 $z 9781487536114 $z 9781487536114 $w (OCoLC)1154412623 700 1 $a Pelevin, Viktor. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317013603.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=67600EA0E9E911EBBBC9467A3DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
