Хлыст: Секты, литература и революция [Khlyst: Sekty, literatura i revoliutsiia]

Rate this book
Книга известного историка культуры посвящена дискурсу о русских сектах в России рубежа веков. Сектантские увлечения культурной элиты были важным направлением радикализации русской мысли на пути к революции. Прослеживая судьбы и обычаи мистических сект (хлыстов, скопцов и др.), автор детально исследует их образы в литературе, функции в утопическом сознании, место в политической жизни эпохи. Свежие интерпретации классических текстов перемежаются с новыми архивными документами. Метод автора - археология текста: сочетание нового историзма, постструктуралистской филологии, исторической социологии, психоанализа. В этом резком свете иначе выглядят ключевые фигуры от Соловьева и Блока до Распутина и Бонч-Бруевича.
