It’s a special issue based on the Villains and Victims<\/a> workshop which I wrote about previously, and it contains some great articles that really reflect what an amazing event that was.<\/p>\n

My contribution, comparing attitudes to peasant convicts in Dostoevsky’s Notes from the House of the Dead<\/em>, Chekhov’s Sakhalin Island\u00a0<\/em>and Kennan’s\u00a0Siberia and the Exile System<\/em>, relating particularly to the question of knowledge, represents my first shift backwards from Gulag narratives into pre-revolutionary prison\/exile texts, which has subsequently generated a whole new approach to the subject. Some ideas relating to that will appear in an essay in a forthcoming collection based on last year’s\u00a0workshop on prison experience in Russian culture<\/a>, and I’m working on a book manuscript that will eventually bring everything together.<\/p>\n
