This talk follows in the tradition of Donald Treadgold and his work by reaching expansively across the boundaries of the Russian empire and former Soviet worlds. Grant explores the role of satirical experiment in the Caucasus through a focus on the popular, early twentieth-century journal,\u00a0Molla Nesreddin<\/i>, and its many afterlives in the Eurasian space that it helped to define. It is a project that moves across disciplines by connecting historical questions of literary genre to political rule, and by grounding these questions in anthropological study of the shared cultural patterns and symbolic logics that have guided normative understandings of authoritarianism, personhood, and propriety in times of great upheaval across this area.<\/div>\n
