Bringing together a range of theoretical and critical approaches,
this edited collection is the first book to examine representations
of the body in Eastern European and Russian cinema after the Second
World War. Drawing on the history of the region, as well as Western
and Eastern scholarship on the body, the book focuses on three
areas: the traumatized body, the body as a site of erotic pleasure,
and the relationship between the body and history. Critically
dissecting the different ideological and aesthetic ways human
bodies are framed, The Cinematic Bodies of Eastern Europe and
Russia also demonstrates how bodily discourses oscillate between
complicity and subversion, and how they shaped individuals and
societies both during and after the period of state socialism.
