Партизанский логос: Проект Дмитрия Александровича Пригова
Dmitrii Aleksandrovich Prigov (1940–2007) was one of the most important fi gures in the Russian underground culture of the 1970s-80s, as well as eff ectively continuing his artistic experiments into the post-Soviet period. He has come to be seen by many as one of the leading practitioners and theoreticians of Russian postmodernism. Prigov’s oeuvre is enormous: it contains thousands of poems, four completed novels (as well as one that is unfi nished), a dozen plays, hundreds of visual works and installations, not to mention performances and videoperformances. Mark Lipovetsky and Ilya Kukulin’s monograph is not the fi rst book on Prigov, but it is the fi rst attempt to present Prigov’s multi-media and multi-personae project holistically, highlighting its theoretical logic, historical context, and typological relations with other cultural experiments of the time period in both Russia and the West.
