MA in Comparative Literature, New York University
Anastassia Kostrioukova is currently completing her PhD at the departments of Comparative Literature and Russian and Slavic Studies in New York University, with an affiliation at Humboldt University, Berlin. Her project is concerned with the impetus given by evolutionary biology to Russian realist tradition and social imaginaries in the years following the “Great Reforms” of the 1860s. More concretely, it explores the diverse ways in which the competing evolutionary narratives were activated in Russia’s “thick journals” in search for comprehensible forms and poetics to address unprecedented economic and social changes. Research interests include cultural history of science, theories of power, theories of realism and the novel, Russian literature in comparative perspective.
