| This project advanced the goals of the Revolutionology project to interrogate the links between political and intellectual change, with a focus on mapping the global circulation of revolutionary ideas. |
This project extended an investigation of the media and networks by which ideas advocating radical change have been produced and disseminated by developing and employing a material-based or even materialist version of intellectual history. Over its first fifteen months, the project benefited from three conferences and two visiting scholars, resulting in the establishment of a scholarly network and in one published volume (and two projected), as well as a digital resource that traces the geographic and chronological spread of four key texts of intellectual revolution generated in Russia. The second phase of the project continued this work of tracing the global spread of revolutionary ideas, supplementing it with non-Russian texts including the original Communist Manifesto.
