Ana Cohle (Berdinskikh) is a scholar of Russian and Ukrainian literatures, cultures, and film.  Her research centers on media technologies and cultural production, sound studies, and the Soviet avant-garde.  Her first book project, Wireless Transmissions: Early Soviet Radio and Modernist Poetics, examines the interaction between disembodied communication and print culture between 1900 and 1936.  Working at the intersection of media ecology and literary studies, this work charts the emergence of a wireless discourse among Silver Age and early Soviet writers, who sought to achieve “direct” and “instantaneous” communication that would exceed the capabilities of text. Her articles and reviews have appeared in Canadian Slavonic Papers, Experiment, Slavic and East European Journal, Canadian-American Slavic Studies, and Technology and Culture.
