Decentering Formalism

Topics center around formalism-a school of literary criticism and literary theory-and include formalism’s role in late-Soviet/post-Soviet cultural imagination, quantitative poetics, and digital humanities; reimagining the late Viktor Shklovsky as the founding figure of Russian formalism; and the non-Russian roots of Russian formalism, including forgotten predecessors and marginalized followers.
