This expanded edition of a special issue of the \u003ci\u003eSouth Atlantic Quarterly\u003c\/i\u003e brings together scholars from various parts of the globe to discuss socialist realism as it appears across genres in art, architecture, film, and literature and across geographic divides-from the \"center,\" Russia, to various points at the \"periphery\"-China, Germany, France, Poland, remote republics of the former USSR, and the United States.\u003cbr\u003eThe contributors here argue that socialist realism has never been a monolithic art form. Essays demonstrate, among other things, that its literature could accommodate psychoanalytic criticism; that its art and architecture could affect the aesthetic dictates of Moscow that made \"Soviet\" art paradoxically heterogeneous; and that its aesthetics could accommodate both high art and crafted kitsch. \u003ci\u003eSocialist Realism without Shores\u003c\/i\u003e also addresses the critical discourse provoked by socialist realism-Stalinist aesthetics, \"anthropological\" readings; ideology critique and censorship; and the sublimely ironic approaches adapted from \u003ci\u003esots art, \u003c\/i\u003e the Soviet version of postmodernism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eContributors\u003c\/i\u003e.
