(Na u)więzi : Robić za psa Jewgienija Łukina w perspektywie antropologicznej

Abstract

The anthropological approach to issues commonly discussed from a political and economic point of view offers an interesting insight into the latest Russian fantasy literature. This text introduces optics taken from the already classic in some circles works of David Graeber into the field of reflection on Russian contemporary prose. Beginning with Graeber’s concept of bullshit job, outlines an anthropological interpretation of the actions of Yevgeny Lukin’s hero of the novel Чушь собачья . Its point od focus is the problem of emotional exploitation at work, leading to psychological destruction, to the point where the outside of work self of the worker is reduced to an uncomfortable remnant, sacrifice of which no longer seems to be any serious loss and the highest sacrifice becomes welcomed as a kind of a relief.
