Under­stand­ing con­ver­sa­tion­al jok­ing: A cog­ni­tive-prag­mat­ic study based on Russ­ian inter­ac­tions
This book exam­ines the diverse forms of con­ver­sa­tion­al humor with the help of exam­ples drawn from casu­al inter­ac­tions among Russ­ian speak­ers. It argues that nei­ther an exclu­sive­ly dis­course-ana­lyt­ic per­spec­tive on the phe­nom­e­non nor an exclu­sive­ly cog­ni­tive one can ade­quate­ly account for con­ver­sa­tion­al jok­ing. Instead, the work advo­cates rec­on­cil­ing these two per­spec­tives in order to describe such humor as a form of cog­ni­tive and com­mu­nica­tive cre­ativ­i­ty, by means of which inter­locu­tors con­vey addi­tion­al mean­ings and imply fur­ther inter­pre­tive frames. Accord­ing­ly, in order to ana­lyze cog­ni­tion in inter­ac­tion, it intro­duces a dis­course-seman­tic frame­work which com­ple­ments men­tal spaces and blend­ing the­o­ry with ideas from dis­course analy­sis. On the one hand, this enables both the emer­gent and inter­ac­tive char­ac­ter and the sur­face fea­tures of con­ver­sa­tion­al jok­ing to be addressed. On the oth­er, it incor­po­rates into the analy­sis those nor­mal­ly back­ground­ed cog­ni­tive process­es respon­si­ble for the addi­tion­al mean­ings emerg­ing from, and com­mu­ni­cat­ed by joc­u­lar utter­ances.

New dra­ma in Russ­ian: per­for­mance, pol­i­tics and protest in Rus­sia, Ukraine and Belarus
In New Dra­ma in Russ­ian, Julie Cur­tis brings togeth­er an inter­na­tion­al team of lead­ing schol­ars and prac­ti­tion­ers to ana­lyze the role of New Dra­ma in the post-Sovi­et era. Since the fall of the Sovi­et Union in 1991, the­atres, drama­tists, and crit­ics have used the genre as a lens through which to explore a wide top­ics from human rights and crime to sex­u­al­i­ty and racism. Through pro­vid­ing ana­lyt­i­cal sur­veys of the transna­tion­al and out­spo­ken genre along­side case-stud­ies of plays and inter­views with play­wrights, this vol­ume sheds much-need­ed light on the key issues of per­for­mance, pol­i­tics, and protest in the post-Sovi­et world.
