The monograph is devoted to the Soviet literature of fact as a realization of the program of productive art in the field of literature. The study centers on the figure of Sergei Tretyakov, who links his biography of the first (pre-revolutionary) experiments of futurist zaniness with the first Congress of Soviet Writers, and consequently most of the theoretical debates of the period. The author traces Tretyakov's different ways of "being a writer" within the Soviet revolution of language and media-in production lyric, psychotechnical drama, and "our epic, the newspaper." Each stage of these experiments requires a modification of the analytical apparatus from a purely semiotic prism through the psychophysiology of perception to a media analysis of the medium. The final part of the book focuses on how the literature of fact bridges with similar trends in the German and French leftist avant-garde (often directly influenced by Tretyakov's ideas, as in the case of Benjamin and Brecht), and then continues in such a form of after-life factography as Varlam Shalamov's "new prose." Pavel Arseniev is a poet and literary theorist, editor-in-chief of the journal [Translit], and winner of the Andrei Bely Prize (2012). He holds a PhD from the University of Geneva (Docteur ès lettres, 2021), a research fellow at the University of Grenoble (UMR "Litt&Arts") and a fellowship at the Collège de France, a specialist in the material and technical history of nineteenth- and twentieth-century literature.
