In this course stundets will approach sociocultural premises of Russian foreign policy, which often remain implicit but which invite direct inquiry using the concept of symbolic politics to ‘untangle’ four dimensions of Russia’s international relations:
-
the language with which Russians define their society (the ‘we’ dimension);
-
how Russia frames messages about its ‘friends’ or ‘enemies’ (the ‘significant others’ dimension);
-
how Russian elites produce narratives and metaphors of collective memory (the ‘time’ dimension);
-
and how Russia perceives its geopolitical space (the dimension of ‘political space’).
