DESCRIPTION:No one wrote as much as dissidents\, said historian Alexander 
 Daniel. We have most often treated Soviet dissidents in terms of their tex
 ts\, and dissident texts have been classified as such based primarily on t
 heir content. A critical look at dissident textuality\, however\, reveals 
 qualities that allow us to rethink the history of resistance in the late S
 oviet period. An examination of the qualities of the dissident text can al
 so offer insights for an analysis of resistance today. I will use my resea
 rch of Soviet dissidence as a starting point for critical consideration of
  examples of American and Russian resistance today. What is the impact of 
 the greater repeatability and malleability of texts from samizdat to the d
 igital age?\n\nProfessor Ann Komaromi (University of Toronto) will deliver
  the seventh lecture as part of the 'Resistance in Russia and Eastern Euro
 pe' public lecture series\, organised by the Department of Slavonic Studie
 s and the Cambridge Committee for Russian and East European Studies.
