An Interview with Ainsley Morse and Philip Redko, Editors & Translators of Permanent Evolution
February 19, 2020
Yuri Tynianov was a key figure of Russian Formalism, an intellectual movement in early 20th century Russia that also included Viktor Shklovsky and Roman Jakobson. Tynianov developed a groundbreaking conceptualization of literature as a system within—and in constant interaction with—other cultural and social systems. Ainsley Morse and Philip Redko, editor/translators of Permanent Evolution, a collection of Tynianov’s critical works, discuss in this interview the translation and compilation processes, Tynianov’s impact on literary and film criticism, and more.
