Scholarly ZEIT GUEST is a video podcast about new ideas and trends in Slavic Studies, cohosted by Prof.Mark Lipovetsky and Dr.Tatiana Efremova at the Harriman Institute, Columbia University. The sixth episode features a conversation with Irina Sandomirskaja, Professor of cultural studies at Södertörn University, Sweden. We talk about the difference between literary and area studies departments, discuss whether our field could have predicted post-Soviet crises, and explore the dangers of affective appropriation of history (as well as ways of looking beyond it).
This episode was produced with the help of Columbia Center for Teaching and Learning. We are also grateful to Will Roane and the production company Team Zebra Squad Alpha for technical support.
