First Published in 1994. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &
Francis, an informa company.
Eisenstein's reputation has long been secure as creator of the
Soviet cinema's earliest and most enduring classics, and as a
pioneer theorist and teacher. Yet the English-speaking world has
not kept pace with a rising tide of Eisenstein scholarship further
enriched by new publications emerging from the former Soviet Union.
"Eisenstein Rediscovered" presents the first true East-West
symposium on Eisenstein with an unparalleled diversity of views and
methodologies. Scholars from ten countries examine the vast legacy
he bequeathed, and offer important new perspectives for
reinterpreting Russian culture of the Soviet period. They explore
how much Eisenstein owed to the Symbolist culture of his youth; how
his involvement in theatre has been undervalued; what role he
played in both the artistic and philosophical avant-gardes of the
'20s; and how both Pushkin and the English Elizabethans shaped his
later concept of tragedy. Including two newly discovered texts by
Eisenstein which are translated for the first time, this collection
makes extensive use of material only recently available. The new'
Eisenstein that emerges is a far more eclectic and engaging figure
than is traditionally perceived.
In Eisenstein Rediscovered Ian Christie and Richard Taylor present
the first true East-West symposium on Eisenstein with an
unparalleled diversity of views and methodologies. Two newly
discovered texts by Eisenstein are here translated fro the first
time, and all the contributors make extensive use of material only
recently available - variant scripts, drawings, diaries and other
writings - to probe behind the familiar facade. The `new'
Eisenstein that emerges is in all respects a more engaging and
contemporary figure than is traditionally perceived, his wit,
eroticism and exlectic passions defining a distinctively modern
sensibility whose rediscovey is long overdue.
"European Integration and Disintegration" deals with the principle
problems and challenges confronting Europe in the aftermath of the
Cold War and the collapse of European communism. While endeavouring
to strike a balance between East, West, North and South, the volume
is more concerned with the changing political, economic and
cultural morphology of Europe, and of the relations within it, than
with the formal institutional arrangements of the European
Community and its successor, the European Union.
The contributors show that the study of European integration
should be taken in the round, avoiding a narrow and self-centered
concern with the development of the "lesser Europe" of the EC/EU.
It demonstrates that integration should be seen as neither an
inexorable predetermined process, nor as an automatic consequence
of high levels of economic interdependence, but rather as somethng
that proceeds in fits and starts and sometimes suffers reverses.

This is the first collection to be inspired and informed by the new
films and archival material that glasnost and perestroika have
revealed, and the new methodological approaches that are developing
in tandem. Film critics and historians from Britain, America,
France and the USSR attempt the vital task of scrutinising Soviet
film, and re-examining the Cold War assumptions of traditional
historiography. Whereas most books on Soviet giants have glorified
the directorial giants of the "golden age" of the 1920s, "Inside
the Film Factory" also recognises the achievements of popular
cinema from the pre-revolutionary period through to the 1930s and
beyond. It also evaluates the impact of Western cinema on the early
experimenters of montage, Russian science fiction's influence on
film-making, and the long-suppressed history of Soviet Yiddish
productions. Alongside the new perspectives and source material on
the much-mythologised figures of Kuleshov and Medvedkin, the book
provides extended accounts in English of the important but
neglected careers of directors Yakov Protazanov and Boris Barnet.
This book should be of interest to students and teachers of film
studies and Soviet studies.
`This superbly illustrated, readable and authoritative work is a major step in the revision of Soviet film history and will be an indispensible staring point for anyone seeking to understand that history.' - TLS
