The Russian Review, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 582-598, October 2023., 2023 Abstract This essay distinguishes flight as a salient trope throughout multiple Pelevin texts: Omon Ra (1992), Chapaev and the Void (1996), Generation P (1999), Empire V (2006), and Love for Three Zuckerbrins (2014).

WHAT, AT LONG LAST, IS HISTORICAL THEORY FOR? REFLECTIONS ON HISTORICAL THEORY IN A POST‐TRUTH WORLD
History and Theory, Volume 62, Issue 2, Page 296-319, June 2023., 2023 ABSTRACT The term “post‐truth” is a capacious trope that collects threats to the stability of shared knowledge on many fronts—digitally spread disinformation, ignorance and resistance to science, unabashed lies in the public sphere, mythologizing by resurgent nationalist forces, and so on.
