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.
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.

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.
