Each time a border is crossed there are cultural, political, and
social issues to be considered. Applying the metaphor of the
'border crossing' from one temporal or spatial territory into
another, Border Crossing: Russian Literature into Film examines the
way classic Russian texts have been altered to suit new cinematic
environments. In these essays, international scholars examine how
political and economic circumstances, from a shifting Soviet
political landscape to the perceived demands of American and
European markets, have played a crucial role in dictating how
filmmakers transpose their cinematic hypertext into a new
environment. Rather than focus on the degree of accuracy or
fidelity with which these films address their originating texts,
this innovative collection explores the role of ideological,
political, and other cultural pressures that can affect the
transformation of literary narratives into cinematic offerings.
