Anton Chekhov, Chekhovian drama, Province, TemporalityAbstract
In this paper I examine the role of Russian provinces in Anton Chekhov's work, especially in his major plays. From an overall perspective, I suggest that Chekhovian dramaturgy, instead of reproducing the common sense of the Russian provinces as places of backwardness and pure repetition, presents it as the spatiality of more complex temporal experiences, which destabilize the modern notion of a homogeneous present, as well as the
traditional understanding of progress and backwardness.
