Did this aesthetic transition also constitute a conceptual break, or were there unseen continuities between these two movements? In Automatic for the Masses, Petre M. Petrov offers a novel, theoretically informed account of that transition, tracing those connections through Modernist notions of agency and authorship.Reading the statements and manifestos of the Formalists, Constructivists, and other Soviet avant-garde artists, Petrov argues that Socialist Realism perpetuated in a new form the Modernist "death of the author." In interpreting this symbolic demise, he shows how the official culture of the 1930s can be seen as a perverted realization of modernism's unrealizable project. An insightful and challenging interpretation of the era, Automatic for the Masses will be required reading for those interested in understanding early Soviet culture. 606 $aSocialist realism 606 $aModernism (Aesthetics)$zSoviet Union 606 $aSocialist realism in art$zSoviet Union 606 $aModernism (Art)$zSoviet Union 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSocialist realism. 615 0$aModernism (Aesthetics) 615 0$aSocialist realism in art 615 0$aModernism (Art) 676 $a700.94709/041 700 $aPetrov$b Petre$0969807 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460139303321 996 $aAutomatic for the masses$92204302 997 $aUNINA
