Andrea Gullotta
I am Lecturer in Russian at the University of Glasgow.
In April 2011, I obtained the Ph.D. title in “Linguistic, Philological and Literary Sciences” (specialization: Slavic Studies) and the additional title of “Doctor Europaeus” at the University of Padua. My dissertation, entitled “The ‘Paris of the Northern Concentration Camps’: the Intellectual Life and the Literature of the Solovki Prison Camp between 1923 and 1930”, is devoted to the literature published in the magazines and journals of the Solovki prison camp and is based on the research carried out in 13 archives in Russia, Germany and Italy. It will be published by Legenda Books in 2016.
From April to July 2011, I worked as Part Time Senior Lecturer of Russian Literature and Russian Language (MA courses) at the University of Palermo. In October 2011 I won the position of Research Fellow at the University of Padua for the international research project “La rifrazione del sé: forme e generi autobiografici e memorialistici nella cultura russa del XIX e XX secolo” [Refractions of the Self: Forms and Genres of Autobiographies and Memoirs in Russian Culture of the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries]. In February 2013 I won the position of Research Fellow at the University “Ca’ Foscari” of Venice for the research project “Russians in Italy”. The project is funded by the Ministry of Education, Universities and Research of Italy. Since January 2015 I am Lecturer in Russian at the School of Modern Languages and Cultures of the University of Glasgow.
An external collaborator with the Scientific and Information Centre “Memorial” of Saint Petersburg and a member of academic associations (such as BASEES, AIS, and Memorial Italia, etc.) and of several international research groups, I have published extensively in international academic journals.
Together with Claudia Criveller, I am editor and founder of "AvtobiografiЯ. Journal on Life Writing and the Representation of the Self in Russian Culture".

thank you for visiting this page. I have been struggling with keeping it updated - it is so hard to find a time for everything! - but soon will update all my public profiles, including this. Sorry for finding the same old few articles...

Il presente saggio mira a indagare un fenomeno che fino ad oggi ha ricevuto scarsa attenzione, ovvero la rinascita del genere letterario della lagernaja literatura (intesa come letteratura legata al tema della repressione sovietica). Lo studio prende in analisi il contesto anglosassone e in particolare due romanzi:The House of Meetings di Martin Amis e The Archivist’s Story di Travis Holland.
Dopo una breve introduzione dedicata al controverso rapporto che la Russia ha con la memoria del proprio passato e al modo in cui ciò influisce nel campo letterario, il saggio analizza a fondo le caratteristiche dei due testi, visti come una prosecuzione di un genere letterario oramai esaurito nel paese di origine e tuttavia capace di rinascere in Occidente.
Il saggio mostra le consonanze tra i due romanzi e la tradizione della lagernaja literatura russa, sia a livello tematico che stilistico, mettendo in evidenza le caratteristiche comuni e le differenze, riservando particolare attenzione alle diverse scelte narrative dei due autori.

Editor’s Introduction
STUDIES IN SLAVIC CULTURES, vol. IX; p. 5-6, ISSN: 1527-3776
Forthcoming by Andrea Gullotta
In 1923, the Soviet state decided to create a prison camp on the Solovki archipelago, the site of a former monastery. It became the laboratory of the Gulag, where the techniques of labour-camp exploitation were developed. Prisoners died by the hundreds both within the walls of the monastery and in the frozen forests beyond. Yet the camp’s activities in cultural re-education were surprisingly extensive. With the connivance of part of the administration, Solovki became a unique cultural citadel, where the values of a dying intelligentsia were reflected in the works and words of the prisoners, who numbered not only poets and actors but also scholars such as the revered Russian linguist Dmitrii Likhachov (1906-99).
Andrea Gullotta’s thoroughly documented study reconstructs the cultural history of the camp and provides an in-depth analysis of the literary works published in the press of the Solovki camp up until 1930, thus changing the current research frame on Gulag literature and shedding light on the extraordinary fight of an isolated group of men for intellectual freedom.
Andrea Gullotta is a research fellow at the Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, where he teaches Russian Language and Literature. He has also worked for the University of Palermo and the University of Padua, where he obtained his Ph.D. He is co-editor of the journal AvtobiografiЯ.
Journal by Andrea Gullotta
The journal analyzes the Russian theoretical and artistic autobiographical production following Western research and approaches. It combines different but, at the same time, rich and complex traditions. The first, that of the Western and above all the French and Anglo-Saxon context, where themes related to autobiography and memoirs writing have been constantly and consistently studied in the last fifty years. The second, the Russian tradition, whose wide corpus has been studied to date in a sometimes successful but overall fragmented way. «AvtobiografiЯ», an international and peer-reviewed online journal, follows the model of similar journals issued in Europe and in the United States that are devoted to national or supranational cultures, such as the journal of the European section of the International Autobiography and Biography Association «European Journal of Life Writing» (http://ejlw.eu/).
The name of our journal combines both the Latin and Cyrillic alphabet, thus underlining the intention of promoting the exchange and reciprocal integration between Western and Eastern cultures. The idea of an open access journal is aimed at reducing the main gaps in the studies on autobiographical and memoirs genres in the Russian context, i.e. their excessive fragmentariness and, consequently, their scarce availability, usually found published in local journals.
The aim of the journal is to grasp the mysteries of the ‘Russian soul’ and to implement the international dialogue through the multifaceted affirmation of the self: all the staff of «AvtobiografiЯ» are dedicated to the above goal and would like to encourage other scholars to contribute to our exploration of auto/biography and the representation of the self in Russian contexts.
