 Mikhail Epstein   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
In this remarkable anthology, Mikhail Epstein presents a series of profoundly religious essays that seek to redefine and restore art in relation to culture in the post-totalitarian state and beyond the conceptual limitations of postmodernism ("the postmodern horizon").
Epstein uses optical metaphors to describe this process, in which culture(s) and cultural artifacts (Epstein's "lyrical museum") are reborn outside the realm of the signifier and the signified.
Regarding literature, Epstein surmises that the late twentieth-century poetic triad of metarealism, presentism, and conceptualism echoes and enlarges that formed at the beginning of the twentieth-century: symbolism, acmeism and futurism.

Epstein frames the Gibaydulina report with mock-scholarly book reviews and a preface (as well as an afterword, in the English edition) written by Mikhail N. Epstein -- or a character of the same name -- who expresses the belief that the "lonely voices of faith" are relieving the absurd "ideosphere" that gripped 20th-century life.
Epstein springs: that of the literary critic straddling the border of literature and philosophy.
Epstein made his biggest theoretical splash in the mid-1980s, when he presented the startling idea that the Soviet Union was postmodern -- and that it (and, earlier, Russia) had been so even before the concept was coined in the West.

Deconstruction, at least in its conventional form of academic poststructuralism, is mostly understood as "the undoing, decomposing, and desedimenting of structures," though, according to Derrida's intention, it "was not a negative operation.

This is what actually the humanities' enterprise may be: finding mutenesses and lacuna e in the languages of existing disciplines and trying to fill them.
Rather than destroying, it was also necessary to understand how an ‘ensemble’ was constituted and to reconstruct it to this end." To this definition of deconstruction by its founder, Epstein juxtaposes the definition of potentiation as reconstruction of potentialities contained within a given cultural ensemble as a '''multiplicity of alternative ensembles'''.

Working in a "comedy of ideas" format, Moscow-born Epstein, a Russian literature professor at Emory University and author of 15 nonfiction books (including Russian Postmodernism), has fashioned a sly satire of the religious factions that sprang up illicitly in the Soviet Union during the 1970s and '80s.
The apocalyptic Steppies worship the vastness of the steppe.
Following the manual are three appendixes: Gibaydulina's post-Soviet writings, fictitious commentaries from reviewers in other countries, and Epstein's afterword, "The Comedy of Ideas," all of which alternately explain and subtly satirize not just scientific atheism but a staggering variety of ideologies.

Atlanta-based essayist, critic and theorist Mikhail Epstein's newest novel is a multilayered, Borgesian fantasy that seeks to somehow make sense of the prolifery of religions, faiths and creeds that began to surface here during the Soviet Union's final days.
In addition to this account, Epstein includes Gibaydulin's personal notes about her work and about her own eventual spiritual journey, which begins after the Soviet Union's collapse and continues until her death in 1997.
Epstein began writing this "comedy of ideas," as he's called it, in Moscow during the mid-1980s, when he traveled to southern Russia and Ukraine to study popular religion.
