Dissensus in post-2012 Russian art: self-perceptions vis-à-vis the West
No full textThis research looks into the dissensus in post-2012 Russian art, particularly music and performance art. The goal of the study is twofold. First it attempts to reveal the main Russian identity patterns as presented by the non-conformist artists. Second, it tries to reveal how these artists depict the Russian identity in regard to the West. To that end, the thesis employs the concept of dissensus introduced by Jacques Rancière (2010), which is the indirect dispute with the established framework of the consensus or the hegemonic discourse defining what is taken for granted and viewed as ‘the proper’. The selected sample of artworks is analysed using the Making Identity Count inductive discourse analysis method to recover the relatively stable national identity discourses. Nevertheless, this research uses it as an efficient tool for revealing the identity patterns that guide the meaning creation process of the selected dissident artists. The main conclusions of the research are as follows. The dissensus in post- 2012 contemporary Russian art deconstructs the hegemonic identity patterns opening opportunities for potential new identifications. The research also shows that the West – Russia identity dichotomy is not relevant as depicted in the selected sample of artworks. Moreover, among the selected dissident artists this dichotomy is subjected to constructive criticism.https://www.ester.ee/record=b5439227*es

National Identity Dataset (Making Identity Count) for Estonia, 1990–2020
No full textThis dataset was compiled within the research project PRG1052 “National Identity and Estonian–Russian Relations: a Longitudinal Study of Elite and Mass Discourses” (2021–2025) and is a longitudinal dataset on national identity created using the Making Identity Count methodology. The dataset is divided into two language-specific subsets—Estonian-language and Russian-language data—and spans five reference years—1990, 1995, 2000, 2010, and 2020—covering six distinct genres—history textbooks, speeches by political leaders, opinion articles and letters to the editor in major daily newspapers, the most-watched films, and the best-selling works of fiction. The compilation of the national identity dataset followed the standardized approach and methodology of Making Identity Count. The resulting National Identity Reports are publicly available at: https://hdl.handle.net/10062/108183.
