معرفی
Irina Sandomirskaja is Professor at Södertörn University's Centre for Baltic and East European Studies (CBEES). Her research examines 20th-century Russian/Soviet cultural history through lenses of language politics, memory studies, and critical theory. Key focus areas include Stalinist biopolitics, Gulag/Holocaust representation, and heritage restoration practices.
Major works analyze Soviet language normalization (Blokada v slove, 2013), memory fragmentation (Past Discontinuous, 2022), and discursive practices of patriotism (Kniga o rodine, 2001). Her scholarship intersects literary analysis (Vaginov, Akhmatova, Ginsburg) with philosophical frameworks (Benjamin, Derrida, Bakhtin).
Recent publications explore poetic responses to catastrophe, comparative ghetto/siege narratives, and visual legacies of communism. She edits thematic journal issues on memory gaps (Lakuna, 2021) and heritage ethics (Baltic Worlds, 2019).
