She is the author of Anamorphosic Texts and Reconfigured Visions: Improvised Traditions in Contemporary Ukrainian and Irish Literature and coeditor of Beauty, Violence, Representation. Maryna Romanets is a Professor in the Department of English at the University of Northern British Columbia, Canada. By bringing together diverse erotomaniac fictions, Maryna Romanets charts the ways in which they are embedded in the processes of Ukraine’s cultural decolonization. Within a broad historical and cultural framework, the study considers writers’ engagements in dialogues with their own tradition and colonial legacy, as well as with a variety of transcultural flows. It offers insight into the convoluted dialectics between the imported conventions of Western “porno-chic” and the received oppressive Soviet gender and sexual ideologies. Drawing on cultural, postcolonial, feminist, and gender theories, the book examines transgressive potentials of the erotic under postcolonial, postcommunist, and post-totalitarian conditions. ![]() While the book’s introduction includes concise sections on pornified cultural forms such as advertising, mass media, visual art, and film, its major focus is on textual production that has contributed significantly to the literary explosion in Ukraine, which began in the 1990s. Ukrainian Erotomaniac Fictions: First Postindependence Wave This work explores the aggressive sexualization of the Ukrainian cultural mainstream after the collapse of the USSR as a counterreaction to the Soviet state’s totalitarian, repressive politics of the body.
