Between the founding of Soviet Uzbekistan in 1924 and the Stalinist
Terror of the late 1930s, a nationalist cinema emerged in
Uzbekistan giving rise to the first wave of national film
production and an Uzbek cinematographic elite. In Cinema, Nation,
and Empire in Uzbekistan Cloe Drieu uses Uzbek films as a lens to
explore the creation of the Soviet State in Central Asia, starting
from the collapse of the Russian Empire up through the eve of WWII.
Drieu argues that cinema provides a perfect angle for viewing the
complex history of domination, nationalism, and empire (here used
to denote the centralization of power) within the Soviet sphere. By
exploring all of film's dimensions as a socio-political
phenomenon-including film production, film reception, and filmic
discourse-Drieu reveals how nation and empire were built up as
institutional realities and as imaginary constructs. Based on
archival research in the Uzbek and Russian State Archives and on
in-depth analyses of 14 feature-length films, Drieu's work examines
the lively debates within the totalitarian and so-called
revisionist schools that invigorated Soviet historiography,
positioning itself within contemporary discussions about the
processes of state- and nation-building, and the emergence of
nationalism more generally. Revised and expanded from the original
French, Cinema, Nation, and Empire in Uzbekistan helps us to
understand how Central Asia, formerly part of the Russian Empire,
was decolonized, but later, in the run-up to the Stalinist period
and repression of the late 1930s, suffered a new style of
domination.
