Кривое горе: память о непогребенных (Библиотека журнала «Неприкосновенный запас»)
Это книга о горе по жертвам советских репрессий, о культурных механизмах памяти и скорби. Работа горя воспроизводит прошлое в воображении, текстах и ритуалах; она возвращает мертвых к жизни, но это не совсем жизнь. Культурная память после социальной катастрофы — сложная среда, в которой сосуществуют жертвы, палачи и свидетели преступлений. Среди них живут и совсем странные существа — вампиры, зомби, призраки. От «Дела историков» до шедевров советского кино, от памятников жертвам ГУЛАГа до постсоветского «магического историзма», новая книга Александра Эткинда рисует причудливую панораму посткатастрофической культуры.
