Formalism

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

The Russian formalists were an eclectic constellation of figures from a variety of fields, including literary criticism, linguistics, philology, and ethnology who from 1915 through 1930 produced a diverse corpus of scholarship on aesthetic form and cultural value. Although their principal objects of study were literary texts, the formalists also wrote on other modes of cultural expression such as film, oratory, journalism, and life writing.
