Liisi Keedus’s article “‘Time in history is a fiction’: Russian formalism and the crisis of historicism” has recently went online in the journal History of European Ideas. It reconstructs the decline of ‘History’ and the European crisis of historicism as a formative intellectual and experiential context for the thought of several of the prominent scholars associated with Russian formalism. Ultimately, the article argues for the need to integrate the intellectual history of Eastern and Central parts of the continent more prominently into the history of European thought.
