Anna Alekseyeva

Everyday Soviet Utopias

Planning, Design and the Aesthetics of Developed Socialism

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores how Soviet intellectuals of the later Soviet decades sought to bring about the socialist utopian world. It argues that the last two decades of the Soviet Union were not characterised by state withdrawal and malaise and relates developments in the Soviet Union to evolving social theory and postmodernism more broadly.
