This book brings together Russian and Western, eminent and younger scholars to provide a fresh and provocative approach to a variety of interrelated fields in Russian studies. It covers different dimensions of creative misunderstandings , hybrids, tensions and other modes of adaptation in the Russian culture from linguistics, cultural studies, and social sciences perspectives, and in doing so effectively overcomes the compartmentalism that still predominates in most text books.
