The Psychoanalysis and Jewish Life Book Series
''The Psychoanalysis and Jewish Life Book Series" has been established to promote scholarship, research, and a wide range of theoretical, textual, and clinical studies on the multiple interconnections between and mutual influence of Judaism and contemporary psychoanalysis. Its aim is broad, spanning a wide variety of subject areas: from the origins of psychoanalysis in Jewish circles of turn-of-the-century Vienna to clinical studies illuminating contemporary facets of Jewish identity and self-understanding; from explorations of psychological aspects of Jewish theology to psychoanalytic investigations of anti-Semitism; from studies of Jewish religious ritual to analyses of Hasidic mysticism and folklore; from psychoanalytic studies of pre-World War II Yiddish theater to the clinical practice of psychoanalysis in modern-day Tel-Aviv. "The Psychoanalysis and Jewish Life Book Series" provides a home for fresh and intellectually challenging contributions across the spectrum of this interdisciplinary area of scholarship.

The Unknown Nineteenth Century
"The Unknown Nineteenth Century" is a book series focused on the discovery of new literary facts in the history of nineteenth-century Russian literature. Each book in the series brings to light unknown texts and authors, unknown historical materials, unknown literary-historical trends, unknown formal features, etc. Each book is based in fundamental research, be it archival, computational, historical, linguistic, or otherwise. The scope of the series is broad chronologically: our nineteenth century stretches from Karamzin to Bunin and beyond. It is no less broad methodologically, and embraces a range of approaches from the philological to the sociological. Yet, the same thing can be said of every book in this series. Namely, that it came as a surprise to scholars and students in the field because what it describes was unknown to any of us before the publication of the book; rather than reinterpret the well-known, these books provide new material for new interpretations and narratives and force us to reexamine old ones.

The Real Twentieth Century
While along the legendary quay There came not the calendrical But the real twentieth century —Anna Akhmatova, Poem Without a Hero
“The Real Twentieth Century” is a book series devoted to the twentieth century as a distinct and coherent phenomenon in the field of Slavic studies.Its aim is to promote scholarly inquiry into various aspects of Russian, or other eastern European, literatures and cultures that in retrospect appear definitive of that era.Studies in this series seek to analyze cultural forms that played a significant role in shaping the Russian (or eastern European) experience in the twentieth century, or that in some way reveal underlying historical, political, or aesthetic factors peculiar to it.In the spirit of Akhmatova’s Poem Without A Hero—itself a definitive text of the era—the series takes “twentieth century” to mean a particular set of historical and cultural factors rather than merely a range of dates.Revolutions, wars, totalitarianism, and dissent are part of it, but so are aesthetic innovation, rapid technological change, and consumerism.Ultimately, the series aims at historical assessment of our remarkable recent past.

Myths and Taboos in Russian Culture
"Myths and Taboos in Russian Culture" will be concerned with the generative myths that serve as the foundation of Russian cultural identity, and/or with taboos and other restraints on free artistic expression that result from the Russian historical experience of tight ideological control over thought and cultural endeavor. In other words, books in this series will explore, on the one hand, the master cultural narratives that are crafted by artists, writers, and intellectuals—including those that are mandated, whether explicitly or implicitly, by the political elite, and those that are positioned outside or in opposition to circles of power—and, on the other hand, narratives that are forbidden or unthinkable, all in an attempt to probe the fundamental "operating principles" of the Russian cultural heritage. The series is conceived as having a broad scope and may include studies of any historical period and any cultural manifestation.

Shapes of Apocalypse: Arts and Philosophy in Slavic Thought by Andrea Oppo
Ars Rossika
“Ars Rossika” presents a certain “stock-taking” attitude toward Russian literary and cultural studies at a time when the role of the academic book in its traditional format is itself being reconsidered. These scholarly critical volumes feature intellectually compelling and authoritative ideas which subsequent generations will consider as true classics. No singular critical methodology or theoretical optic will dominate; what will dominate in each case is a sophisticated conceptual framework and an impeccable scholarly awareness and judgment. The series includes foregrounding works written in English, translations (from the Russian) of especially important and ground-breaking studies, and collections of essays featuring top scholars' best, most representative work, often from different time periods.
