FILM THEORY IN MEDIA HISTORY


SERGEI M. EISENSTEINNOTES FOR A GENERAL HISTORY OF CINEMA

EDITED BY NAUM KLEIMAN & ANTONIO SOMAINI

Naum Kleiman and Antonio Somaini (eds)

Sergei M. Eisenstein

One of the iconic fi gures of the twentieth-century cinema, Sergei Eisenstein is best known as the director of The Battleship Potemkin, Alexander Nevskii and Ivan the Terrible. His craft as director and fi lm editor left a distinct mark on such key fi gures of the Western cinema as Nicolas Roeg, Francis Ford Coppola, Sam Peckinpah and Akiro Kurosawa.This comprehensive volume of Eisenstein’s writings is the fi rst-ever English-language edition of his newly discovered notes for a general history of the cinema, a project he undertook in 1946-47 before his death in 1948. In his writings, Eisenstein presents the main coordinates of a history of the cinema without mentioning specifi c directors or fi lms: what we fi nd instead is a vast genealogy of all the media and of all the art forms that have preceded cinema’s birth and accompanied the fi rst decades of its history.

Cinema appears here as the heir of a very long tradition that includes death masks, ritual processions, wax museums, diorama and panorama, and as a medium in constant transformation, that far from being locked in a stable form continues to redefi ne itself.The texts by Eisenstein are accompanied by a series of critical essays written by some of the world’s most qualifi ed Eisenstein scholars across the world.

naum kleiman is director of the Film Museum in Moscow, director of the Eisenstein Center, actor and fi lmmaker.antonio somaini is professor of fi lm and visual culture studies at the University of Venice in Italy.

Bastard or Playmate?

Artistic media seem to be in a permanent condition of mutation and transformation. Contemporary artists often investigate the limits and possibilities of the media they use and experiment with their crossing, upgrading and mutilation. Others explicitly explore the unknown space between existing media, searching for the hybrid beings that occupy these in-betweens. This fascinating volume explores the theme of mutating and adapting media in its relation to theatre and performance. Bringing together international scholars and artists, the editors offer a comprehensive overview of the subject sensitive to the cross-disciplinary use of key concepts such as remediation,

This defi nitive work offers a new approach to the period fi lm at the turn of the twenty-fi rst century, examining the ways in which contemporary cinema recreates the historical past. This book explores the relation between visual motifs and cultural representation in a range of key fi lms by James Ivory, Martin Scorsese and Jane Campion, among others. Looking at the mannerist taste for citation, detail and stylisation, the author argues for an aesthetic of fragments and fi gures central to the period fi lm as an international genre. Three key fi gures – the house, the tableau

and the letter – structure a critical journey through a selection of detailed case studies, in relation to changing notions of visual style, melodrama and gender. Figuring the Past seeks to place this popular but often undervalued genre in a new light and to rethink its signifi cance in the context of key debates in fi lm studies.

Found Footage: Cinema Exposed

Following previous volumes in the Key Debates series, Audiences engages with one of the most important shifts in recent fi lm studies: the turn away from text-based analysis towards the viewer. Historically, this marks a return to early interest in the effect of fi lm on the audience by psychoanalysts and psychologists, which was overtaken by concern with the ‘effects’ of fi lm, linked to calls for censorship and moral panics rather than to understanding the mental and behavioural world of the spectator. Early cinema history has revealed the diversity of fi lm-viewing habits, while traditional ‘box offi ce’ studies, which treated the audience initially as a homogeneous market, have been replaced by the study of individual consumers and their motivations. Latterly, there has been a marked turn towards more sophisticated

This inspiring work is published to commemorate the opening of the new building of the EYE Film Institute in Amsterdam in the spring of 2012. Found Footage, the fi rst exhibition in the new building, takes as its theme the museum’s vast and valuable collection by showing how recent and historical footage, derived from both archive material and the internet or DVDs, is constantly reused by fi lmmakers and artists in order to create new works and generate different meanings. Thus, narrative structures are unravelled to create new stories, images are removed from their original context and

Valentina Fava

The Socialist People’s Car

Drawing on the corporate and national archives of the former Czechoslovakia, this important volume contributes to the debate on the circulation of technical and organisational knowledge in twentieth-century Europe. Fava examines in depth the transfer of Fordist practices from the US to Central Europe, using Škoda Auto, the leading Czechoslovak car manufacturer, as a case study. Along with the questions typical of company cases in business history and relative to Škoda corporate structure, performance, production processes and

product quality, this much-needed study also addresses the issue of the Communist Party’s controversial approach to mass motorisation.

Milena Veenis

Material FantasiesExpectations of the Western Consumer World among the East Germans

This engaging study of the East German fantasies of material abundance across the border, both before and after the fall of communism, shows the close and intricate relation between ideology and fantasy in upholding social life. In 1989, news broadcasts all over the world were dominated for weeks by images of East Germans crossing the Berlin Wall to West Germany. The images, representing the fall of communism and the democratic will of the people, also showed the East Germans’ excitement at fi nally being able to enter the western consumer paradise. But what exactly had they expected to fi nd on the other side of the Wall? Why did they shed tears of joy when for the fi rst time in their lives, they stepped inside West German shops?

Drawing on fi fteen months of research in fast-changing post-communist East Germany, Veenis unravels the perennial truths about the interrelationships of fantasies of material wealth, personal fulfi llment and social cohesion. She argues persuasively that the far-fetched socialist and capitalist promises of consumption as the road to ultimate well-being, the partial realisation and partial corruption thereof, the implicit social and psychological interests underlying the politicized promises in both countries, form the breeding ground for the development of fantasies, in which material well-being came to be seen as the place of “fulfi llment and ultimate arrival”.

Nazi Soundscapes

Dutch Pro-Boer Propaganda and the South African War (1899-1902)

Between 1899 and 1902 the Dutch public was captivated by the war raging in South Africa between the Boer republics and the British Empire. Dutch popular opinion was on the side of the Boers: these descendants of the seventeenth-century Dutch settlers were perceived as kinsmen, the most tangible result of which was a fl ood of propaganda material intended as a counterweight to the British coverage of the war. The author creates a fascinating account of the Dutch pro-Boer movement from its origins in the 1880s to its persistent continuation well into the twentieth century. Kuitenbrouwer offers insights into

Following the formation of the German National Socialist Party in the 1920s, various forms of sound (popular music, voice, noise and silence) and media technology (radio and loudspeaker systems) were confi gured as useful to the party’s political programme. Focusing on the urban ‘soundscape’ of Düsseldorf, the author makes a persuasive case for investigating such sound events and technological devices in their specifi c contexts of production and reception. Nazi Soundscapes identifi es strategies for controlling space and reworking identity patterns, but also the ongoing diffi culties in manipulating mediated sounds and the

the rise of organisations that tried to improve the ties between the Netherlands and South Africa and in that capacity became important links in the international network that distributed propaganda for the Boers. He also demonstrates that stereotypes of the Boers and the British in Dutch propaganda material had lasting effects on nation building both in the Netherlands and in South Africa.

spaces of listening reception, whether in the home, workplace, cinema, public rituals or with wartime siren systems. The study revises visualist notions of social control, and reveals the disciplinary functions of listening (as eavesdropping) as well as the sonic dimensions to exclusion and violence during the Nazi era. An essential title for everyone interested in the links between German political culture, audiovisual media and urban history.

The Thought Remolding Campaign of the Chinese Communist Party-state

Peter Romijn, Giles Scott-Smith and Joes Segal (eds)

Divided Dreamworlds? With its unique focus on how culture contributed to the blurring of ideological boundaries between the East and the West, this important volume offers fascinating insights into the tensions, rivalries and occasional cooperation between the two blocs. Encompassing developments in both the arts and sciences, the authors analyse focal points, aesthetic preferences and cultural phenomena through topics as wide-ranging as the East- and West German interior design; the Soviet stance on genetics; US cultural diplomacy during and after the Cold War; and the role of popular music as a universal cultural ambassador.Well positioned at the cutting edge of Cold

War studies, this important work illuminates some of the striking paradoxes involved in the production and reception of culture in East and West.

Hu Ping (translated by Philip F. Williams and Yenna Wu)

The Thought Remolding Campaign of the Chinese Communist Party-state

In its comprehensive analysis of a wide range of sources in both Chinese and Western languages, this authoritative work stands as the defi nitive study of the theory, implementation and legacy of the Chinese Communist Party’s thought-remolding campaign. This decades-long campaign involved the extraction of confessions from millions of Chinese citizens suspected of heterodoxy or disobedience to party dictates, along with their subjection to

various forms of “re-education” and indoctrination. Hu Ping’s carefully structured overview provides a valuable insider’s perspective, and supersedes the previous landmark study on this vastly engaging topic.

The Cultural Cold War in East and West

In the late 1970s Hu Ping’s trenchant essay On Free Speech startled readers with its radical re-conception of the phrase “liberation of thought.” Now, more than three decades later, The Thought Remolding Campaign of the Chinese Communist Party-state provides us with a mature and panoramic analysis of the relation between words and thought in both the totalitarian and post-totalitarian phases of China’s recent history.perry link, professor emeritus of East Asian studies at Princeton University

The Holocaust and Other Genocides

Since Raphael Lemkin coined the term genocide after the destruction of the European Jewry during WWII, the United Nations signed the Genocide Convention in 1948. Though the convention intended to bolster the prevention of genocide in the future, large-scale mass murder returned on all continents, in Cambodia and Rwanda as some of the most notorious cases.For as this unsparing overview demonstrates, the genocidal processes are complex and deeply rooted in society. International courts and tribunals play an increasing role in bringing suspected perpetrators to justice. To deal effectively with the Holocaust and other genocides in the classroom, reliable knowledge about the courses of history is needed. This unique guidebook offers concise information about fi ve twentieth-century cases of genocide as well as the response of international justice. By relevant

use of illustrations and references, and by using the most recent literature, this is an indispensable work offering new insight into processes of genocide.

Outsider Art Realms

Challenges and Perspectives

This important and fi rst-of-its-kind collection addresses the emerging challenges in the fi eld of media art preservation and exhibition, providing an outline for the training of professionals in this fi eld. Since the emergence of time-based media such as fi lm, video and digital technology, artists have used them to experiment with their potential. The resulting artworks, with their basis in rapidly developing technologies that cross over into other domains such as broadcasting and social media, have challenged the traditional infrastructures for the collection, preservation and exhibition of art. Addressing these challenges, the authors provide a historical and theoretical survey of the fi eld, and introduce students to the challenges and diffi culties of preserving and exhibiting

In recent years, scholars, art collectors, and the general public have become increasingly captivated by “outsider art.” Identifi ed as intensely original artistic works, outsider art is produced by psychiatric patients, spiritualist trance mediums, reclusive eccentrics, apocalyptic visionaries, and other self-taught and untrained individuals who create things with little regard for mainstream artistic trends or the marketplace. Wojcik’s interdisciplinary study examines the history and primary issues in the fi eld of outsider art, investigates the lives of signifi cant artists, and explores the

media art through a series of fi rst-hand case studies. Situated at the threshold between archival practices and fi lm and media theory. This works also makes a strong contribution to the growing literature on archive theory and archival practices.

meanings of the creators’ works within specifi c cultural contexts. This analysis gives special attention to the infl uence of religious worldviews and vernacular tradition as well as experiences of tragedy and suffering that have inspired the art-making process, triggering a creative transformation that has helped individuals confront and cope with traumatic life events.

Habsburg Communication in the Dutch Revolt

Youth Culture and Masculinity during Holland’s Golden Age

In contrast to other works which usually address groups of young people over a long period of time, this study focuses on a generation of young men who were born around 1600 and who came of age during the 1620s and 1630s, at the zenith of Holland’s Golden Age. Well-known cohorts from the generation such as Rembrandt van Rijn (born in 1606) are examined for how they expressed their youth culture and masculinity by upholding conservative norms and values or defying them. In this realm, the masculinity of young men is examined in the areas of appearance, drinking, the use

The rebels of the Dutch Revolt, their political thoughts and the media they used to express them, have long been a focus of historical attention. This book, however, focuses on the largely untold story of what the other side, the Habsburg regime and its local supporters, thought about the confl ict and how they responded to rebel accusations. To this end, a variety of oral, written and theatrical media have been examined to discover how the regime made use of the different communication channels available. In addition, available sources have been used to document

of violence, sexuality, drugs and recreational activities. This study reveals how this generation expressed their unique masculinity and youth culture as different from the previous generation by growing their hair long, wearing colourful clothing, drinking excessively, challenging city guards, being promiscuous, being the fi rst generation to start smoking and by singing lewd songs.

ordinary people’s response to the confl ict and the various messages they encountered in the public sphere. The result is a study that sheds new and sometimes surprising light on the Habsburg regime’s approach to communication and opinion-forming, while also providing a useful corrective to our understanding of rebel propaganda.

This informative and insightful book contributes to two booming fi elds in Indonesian studies: the study of Islam and the study of Muslim women. It also adds a new perspective to

In the past few decades, science and scientists have lost much of their authority. Lack of scientifi c consensus in high-profi le public debates such as the causes of climate change or correct response to a fl u epidemic has further strengthened the impression in the media that science has less to offer than we were once led to believe. Science, especially the natural and life sciences, are a major driver of innovation in our modern knowledge economies involving a large number of people and huge capital investments. Miedema discusses how all these external forces have changed the practice of science and how this affects the life and career of

the English-language literature on Muslim women outside the Middle Eastern or Indian subcontinent communities context, which used to dominate the scholarly discussion and publications in this fi eld.

He points out that the classical romantic view of science as a monolithic consensus machine and scientists as altruistic truth seekers must be openly revisited to better explain what the status of the products of science are and what scientists should do to enhance the impact and integrity of science in public debate and policymaking.

Islam on the Move

Much nuance and variability have been lost in the process of the reductivist analysis of Islam post 9/11 and, as this study amply demonstrates, we are all the poorer as a result. This exhaustive examination of the rise and spread of the Tablighi Jama’at, arguably the world’s largest Islamic missionary movement, locates it in the larger perspective of global Islam and developments in the Muslim societies. Combining an overview of the history and current socio-political perception of the Tablighi Jama’at with a more analytical and philosophical approach to fundamental questions of identity, subject-positioning and representation, the author creates a comprehensive resource of interest to all scholars and students of Islam. Drawing on exhaustive research and records of conversion narratives of the new members of Tablighi Jama’at, cited

here at length, the author creates a unique perspective on this complex phenomenon from both an internal and external viewpoints. Noor locates the spiritual framework of the movement in the context of its perception in the eyes of the political and religious authorities of the countries where it has a following, as well as the Western ‘securocrat’ approach.

This is an excellent, original study of an important transnational Islamic

movement, based on a long-term acquaintance with the movement and a

considerable period of participating observation in Indonesia, Malaysia

and South Thailand. No one else has ever carried out extensive fieldwork

and been able to study the movement from within as he does in this book.

For this reason, this study represents a major step ahead in our

understanding of the Tabligh.

martin van bruinessen, Chair for the Comparative Study of Contemporary Muslim Societies, Utrecht University

Farish Noor is an extraordinary thinker: cosmopolitan, Asian, Muslim,

humanist, truth-teller. Here we get him at his best, looking at the rise

and spread of one of the most important missionary Muslim

organizations, the Tablighis. Highly recommended!

Late Iron Age Gold Hoards from the Low Countries and the Caesarian Conquest of Nothern Gaul

This richly illustrated volume analyses eight new Celtic gold hoards from the southern Netherlands and Belgium. The study of these hoards provides a wealth of new information on the archaeological contexts in which they were found, on the dating of many coin types and jewelry, and on the social role of gold in pre-Roman society. All these hoards seem to have been buried in the 50s BC, thus making a direct association with the historical context of Caesar’s war campaigns in Northern Gaul very plausible. This makes

the volume important for archaeologists as well as numismatists and historians.

Landscape Archaeology between Art and Science

From a Multi- to an Interdisciplinary Approach

This important volume sheds new light on the main theme of the conference: the defi nition of landscape as used by processual archaeologists, earth scientists, and most historical geographers, and that favoured by postprocessual archaeologists, new cultural geographers and anthropologists. Divided over six themes: 1) How did landscape change?, 2) Improving temporal, chronological and transformational frameworks, 3) Linking landscapes of lowlands with mountainous areas, 4) Applying concepts of scale, 5) New directions in digital prospection and modelling techniques, and 6) How will landscape archaeology develop in the

future?, the study demonstrates that interest in landscape archaeology is worldwide, and is emerging in new places which have not previously had much support for such studies.

Marga Altena

A True History Full of Romance

This important study of ethnically mixed marriages in the Netherlands of the 1883-1955 period offers a rich overview of the nature and experience of ethnicity from a wide range of scholarly perspectives. Drawing on exhaustive research in the Netherlands, Europe and the Americas, Altena offers illuminating new insights into mixed-marriage families as they were depicted in the arts and in news media; and how the families themselves in turn reacted to, and infl uenced those images. Focusing on well-documented individuals, the author shows how they gained a coherent voice in Dutch culture. Altena attributes to them conscious agency in their own self-presentation, rather than just viewing them as victims of racial prejudice.

A timely contribution to the debate surrounding ethnicity and integration in Dutch society, this work demonstrates how that process was mediated by the various agencies, while placing special emphasis on the marginal groups within central news media as crucial in the opinion making.

marga altena is assistant professor in the Department of Art and History at the University of Amsterdam.

Aspects of Urbanization in China

China’s rise as a global power is one of the transformative events of our time. Hundreds of millions of people have been lifted out of poverty thanks to the country’s rapid industrialisation. One seemingly inevitable outcome of industrialisation is urbanisation, and this defi nitive study examines some of the key aspects of China’s massive wave of urbanisation, which is the largest the world has ever seen. With contributions from scholars from a variety of disciplines, including architecture, urbanism, social sciences, area studies, geography and anthropology, the point of departure for each chapter is always the city – in this case the cities of Shanghai, Hong Kong and Guangzhou. The study creates a resonant portrait of the cities’ global ambitions, their cultural and architectural expression, as well as the cinematic representation of the country’s

massive rural-urban migration. China’s miraculous economic growth has had its downsides, something that is often most painfully apparent in its cities. It is the concern for the citizens of a city that unifi es the papers of this book, where the authors all seek to try and understand what life is like for the people who call them home.

gregory bracken is research fellow at the International Institute for Asian Studies, Leiden University.

Saskia Baas

From Civilians to Soldiers and from Soldiers to Civilians

A fascinating and disturbing study of the entrances and exits of boys and men involved on all sides of the armed confl ict in Sudan, providing a vivid insight into the dynamics of the civil war. Drawing on extensive research and personal accounts, this hard-hitting work investigates the processes of mobilisation and demobilisation of fi ghters from all the involved factions during the long-drawn civil war in Sudan. Why do civilians, at some point or other during an armed confl ict, decide to participate in the violence of the war? What are the consequences of becoming part of a guerilla movement? And, once a civil war has come to an end, how can former fi ghters be reintegrated into civilian life? In seeking answers to these questions affecting a number of African countries, Saskia Baas draws on in-depth interviews she conducted with

current and former combatants in Sudan. She paints a vivid picture of the militants, providing new insights into the dynamics of violent confl ict as it appears through the eyes of those directly involved.

saskia baas is a lecturer at the Political Science Department of the University of Amsterdam. She worked for the UN Peacekeeping Mission in Sudan in 2006. In 2008, she returned to Sudan for fi eldwork among former combatants in different areas of the country. In 2010, she worked as a political observer for the Carter Center Democracy Program in the disputed border region of Abyei.

This adds value to the work in terms of adding a broader comparative analysis of the different groups.monica dorothy aciru and stephan parmentier, Leuven Institute of Criminology

Christoph Lüthy

David Gorlæus (1591-1612)

This study of the life and works of David Gorlæus (1591-1612) throws new light on the mystery surrounding this early modern Dutch thinker. When Gorlæus died aged 21, he left behind two highly original manuscripts, published posthumously in 1620 and 1651. As his identity was unknown, his seventeenth-century readers understood him as an anti-Aristotelian thinker, an atomist and a precursor of Descartes. The aim of this work is to shed light on his family circumstances and life, his education at Franeker and Leiden, and on the virulent Arminian crisis which

provided the context within which Gorlæus’ work was written. The author further places Gorlæus in the history of Dutch philosophy and assesses his possible infl uence in the early Cartesian circles. christoph lüthy is professor of the history of philosophy and science at Radboud University Nijmegen.

Europe-On Air

Radio broadcasting may seem old-fashioned nowadays, but early radio infrastructures and programmes in Europe were the real social media of their time. They laid the foundation for how we experience European unifi cation and global interconnectedness today. This spirited and timely volume takes the reader on a tour of the early days through broadcasting. Rarely studied sources from international organisations reveal a wide variety of new actors, activities and debates that together shaped broadcasting and society institutions. These stories often remain underexposed in histories of technology, broadcasting, and Europe.Through to contemporary sources, the author illustrates how people in

broadcasting were debating issues ranging from institutionalising radio to wireless and wired network construction. This book specifi cally acknowledges how the rivalries were solved between various broadcasters such as Radio Luxembourg and the International Broadcasting Union, the attempts to save Europe’s civilisation amid the chaos of war and peace, and the creation and distribution of truly international programmes as early as 1926.

suzanne lommers is educational strategy manager and web editor for the Inventing Europe Virtual Exhibit and researcher for the Making Europe Book Project.

Transnational Flows and Permissive Polities

Tangled Strands of Modernity

Using a small group of left-wing student activists as a prism, the author explores the complex politics that underpinned the making of nation-states in Singapore and Malaysia after World War Two. This pursuit of nationalist modernity was characterised by desire to replace the colonial system with a new state and mobilise the people into a new relationship with the state, according them new responsibilities as well as new rights. This book, based on student writings, offi cial documents and oral history brings to life various modernist strands – liberal-

This important study is a collection of ethnographies of transnational migration and border crossings in Asia. Interdisciplinary in scope, it addresses issues of mobility and diaspora from various vantage points. Unique to this volume is an emphasis on studying globalisation from below, privileging the narratives and views of “people on the move” – or the transnational underclass – and their sense of belonging to places and communities. The collection is further

democratic, ethnic-communal, and Fabian and Marxist socialist – seeking to determine the form of postcolonial Malaya.

Transparency in Population Forecasting

Population projections are based on assumptions about future changes in fertility, mortality and migration. This book describes methods that can be used for making these assumptions. The book shows how international comparisons can be helpful in making population projections. For international migration studies, international comparisons can help improve estimates of the size and direction of immigration and emigration fl ows. For projecting fertility, international comparisons can show in what direction the future level of fertility may

move. Projections of mortality can be based on the estimation of an average trend in life expectancy over a group of countries.

Care at a Distance

This widely researched study demonstrates that neither grandiose promises nor nightmare scenarios have much to do with actual care practices employing telecare. Combining detailed ethnographic studies of nurses and patients involved in telecare with theory from various disciplines, the author concludes that these practices lead to more rather than less intense caring relations, resulting from a spectacular rise in the frequency of contacts between nurses and patients. Patients are much taken with this,

not because they feel they are fi nally able to manage themselves, but because they can ‘leave things to the experts’. By listening to the experiences of those who use the technologies, as healthcare providers or as patients, Pols provides a much-needed balance to the usual focus on effi ciency.

Dynamics of Power in Dutch Integration Politics

This timely study analyses the developments of networking information and concludes that in everyday practice an iGovernment has gradually come into existence, overtaking the old paradigm of the eGoverment. The iGoverment, running at full speed on information fl ows and networks is, however, seriously out of step with the self-image of the digital government, and the existing structure and division of responsibilities. The authors offer an insightful analysis of the problems

Integration politics in the Netherlands has changed dramatically between 1990 and 2005. Whereas ethnic and religious differences were hitherto pacifi ed through accommodation, a new and increasingly powerful current in Dutch politics problematized the presence of minorities. Arguing that extant approaches are better at explaining continuity than change, this

that ongoing digitisation poses for citizens and the government itself (such as creeping loss of data quality), while placing highly valuable markers for the decisions that must be taken on the challenging path that lies ahead.
