In a series of short essays, focused on striking images, the authors reexamine historical encounters and exchanges within the shifting borders of the empire. The book not only offers interpretations of the images but also shows the kinds of work that images themselves can accomplish by changing or solidifying notions of how the world is or should be organized. The book advances the idea of a ''pictosphere`` in which images from the many visual cultures of the empire interacted. The essays are lively and accessible, crafted to engage the reader. Picturing Russian Empire also provides a historical and visual approach to understanding present-day conflicts in Russia, Eastern Europe, and Eurasia''--", note="edited by Valerie Kivelson, University of Michigan, Sergei Kozlov, University of Tyumen, Joan Neuberger, University of Texas at Austin", isbn="9780197600528", language="English" }
