Duelling, the Russian Cultural Imagination, and Masculinity in Crisis by Amanda Digioia

Duelling, the Russian Cultural Imagination, and Masculinity in Crisis by Amanda Digioia

This book, written from a feminist perspective, uses the focus of duelling to discuss the nature of masculinity in Russia. It traces the development of duelling and masculinity historically from the time of Peter the Great onwards, considers how duelling and masculinity have been represented in both literature and film and assesses the high emphasis given in Soviet times to gender equality, arguing that this was a failed experiment that ran counter to Russian tradition. It examines how duelling continues to be a feature of life in contemporary Russia and relates the situation in Russia to wider scholarship on the nature of masculinity more generally. Overall, the book contends that Russia’s valuing of a strong, militaristic form of masculinity is a major problem.

Amanda DiGioia is a graduate student at the School of Slavonic and East European Studies, University College London.
