Words and Conflicts: The Language of Confrontation and the Escalation of Civil War in Russia
14.99 €
"Civil War," "civil peace," "turmoil," "anarchy," "Bolshevism," "leader," "citizen," "republic"-these words entered firmly into the everyday vocabulary of witnesses to the large-scale and multi-dimensional military and political conflict in Russia between 1917 and 1922. How did the use of these concepts prepare the conflict that claimed the lives of millions of people? How was the civil war talked about, conceptualized, projected? What rhetoric was used to prevent, limit, end it? What can party documents, journalism, political dictionaries, resolutions, diaries, and letters of contemporaries provide to reconstruct the meanings and practices of the political use of words in various conflicts? The authors of the book analyze emotionally loaded and polysemous concepts, compare texts of different nature, and offer their answers to the question of how large-scale paramilitary violence is legitimized.
