Religion and Language in Post-Soviet Russia by Brian P. Bennett (English) Hardco

Description: Religion and Language in Post-Soviet Russia by Brian P. Bennett Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Church Slavonic - the traditional language of the Russian Orthodox Church - has enjoyed a strong revival in the post-Soviet period, as has the Russian Orthodox Church itself. This book examines the revival of Church Slavonic, relating it to a wide range of contemporary social and cultural developments in contemporary Russia, including debates about protecting Russia from western cults and culture, debates about recovering pre-revolutionary traditions and articulating Russian/Orthodox identities, and to factionalism and renewal within the Orthodox Church. It thereby explores the revival of orthodoxy in Russia not from the standpoint of ecclesiastical politics or church-state relations, but rather through the myths, rituals, symbols, texts and discourses that span both official and popular religion in post-Soviet Russia. As such the book will be of great interest to scholars of sociolinguisitcs and of religion, as well as to Russian studies specialists. Publisher Description Church Slavonic, one of the worlds historic sacred languages, has experienced a revival in post-Soviet Russia. Blending religious studies and sociolinguistics, this is the first book devoted to Church Slavonic in the contemporary period. It is not a narrow study in linguistics, but uses Slavonic as a passkey into various wider topics, including the renewal and factionalism of the Orthodox Church; the transformation of the Russian language; and the debates about protecting the nation from Western cults and culture. It considers both official and popular forms of Orthodox Christianity, as well as Russias esoteric and neo-pagan traditions. Ranging over such diverse areas as liturgy, pedagogy, typography, mythology, and conspiracy theory, the book illuminates the complex interrelationship between language and faith in post-communist society, and shows how Slavonic has performed important symbolic work during a momentous chapter in Russian history. It is of great interest to scholars of sociolinguistics and of religion, as well as to Russian studies specialists. Author Biography Brian P.
