metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article is a scholarly review of the monograph “Faces of the Other in the Multilingual Belarusian
  Literature of the 19th Century” written by N. L. Bakhanovich. The book examines the
  image of “The Other” in Belarusian literature of the 19th century. Bakhanovich refers both to
  Polish-speaking romanticists (for example, A. Mickiewicz) and to some Russian-speaking authors
  to illustrate the main message of the book. From a methodological point of view, Bakhanovich
  follows the traditions of the Russian school of comparative literature and develops the
  thoughts of A. N. Veselovskii, Yu. M. Lotman, and others about the importance of describing
  the perception of “the other”, i.e., of a different cultural, religious, and ritual space reflected in
  literary works, for a more accurate understanding of the Belarusian culture and ethnicity. Although
  the book attempts to use the methodological framework of “imagined communities”,
  as presented by the British political scientist and sociologist B. Anderson, it is not convincingly
  justified. The book touches upon the difficult issue of cultural self-identification of the lands
  of modern Belarus; a number of the conclusions made by the author are controversial and in
  need of additional commentary, as is the terminological apparatus chosen to represent several
  political issues (for example, an attempt to consider the inclusion of the territories of the
  former Grand Duchy of Lithuania into the Russian Empire as an act of colonization). Such a
  publication is undoubtedly a significant contribution to the development of scholarly ideas
  about the formation of the Belarusian literary tradition in the 19th century.
