The Russian thick journal as a discursive space of negotiation
Jean-Paul Sartre’s reception in the Soviet Union during the Thaw Era
This paper sets out to investigate the crucial role played by Russian “thick journals,” also referred to as
literary-artistic and socio-political monthlies, in Jean-Paul Sartre’s Russian reception during the Thaw era. To this end, the
positions (
Bourdieu 1983) occupied by the four thick monthlies that published Sartre’s
work and/or about his work in the USSR during the Thaw are mapped. Considering the position of, and relations between, those
journals sheds a different light on Sartre’s reception. It reveals how the thick journals functioned, not only as a medium for
introducing Sartre, but also as a space where his reception was actively negotiated.
