= Russian formalism
{wiki=Russian_formalism}
Russian formalism was a literary and aesthetic movement that emerged in Russia in the early 20th century, particularly in the 1910s and 1920s. It was primarily concerned with the study of literature as a distinct form of art, emphasizing the formal aspects of literary works rather than their content or social context. The movement sought to analyze the structures, techniques, and devices used in literature to create meaning and generate aesthetic effects.
