      note = {"The problem "The Literary Field under the Communist  Regime: Structure, Functions, 'Illusio'" was discussed by  literary scholars from various European countries and the  USA who came to the Institute of Lithuanian Literature and  Folklore in Vilnius (2015). At this conference the literary  scholars aimed to overcome the dualistic schemes prevailing  in the research of literatures under the communist regime  and to create more complex, nuanced, and contextualized  frameworks for their analyses. Pierre Bourdieu's concept of  literary field suggested a systematic approach towards  literary practices, highlighting the functional  relationship between literature and society, revealing a  network of interconnected individual and collective  literary agents, emphasizing the role of illusio (the  tendency of participants to engage in the political game  and believe in its significance), and combining internal  and external analysis of literary works. Part of the  discussion from this conference was published in the  journal Colloquia, "A Discussion on Methodology for  Researching Soviet Literary Space" (2015) and the other  part; the most relevant articles have been written for this  collection"-- from the preface.},

      abstract = {"This volume widens the field of Soviet literature studies  by interpreting it as a multinational project, with  national literatures acting not as copies of the Russian  model, but as creators of a multidimensional literary  space. The book proposes a reconsideration of Pierre  Bourdieu's theory of literary field and analyzes the  interactions of literature, power, and economics under the  communist rule. The articles selected include theoretical  discussions and case studies from different national  literatures presenting different structural elements of the  Soviet literary field, as well as different phenomena  created by the complexity of the field itself, such as the  Aesopian language, state of emergency literature, or  compromise as the essential element of the writers'  identity"--},
