Summary: A critical exploration of the human body in Eastern European and Russian filmBringing 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.Case studies include:Andrzej Wajda's War TrilogyBéla Tarr's SatantangoWiktor GrodeckiIlya Khrzhanovsky's 4Györgi Pálfi's TaxidermiaCzechoslovak New WaveYugoslav Socialist RealismContributors:Malgorzata Bugaj, University of Edinburgh and the University of StirlingHelena Goscilo, Ohio State UniversityNebojša Jovanović, Central European UniversityHajnal Király, Eötvös Lóránd UniversityEwa Mazierska, University of Central LancashireAlexandar Mihailovic, Hofstra UniversityMatilda Mroz, University of SussexDorota Ostrowska, Birkbeck College, University of LondonElżbieta Ostrowska, University of AlbertaÁgnes Pethő, Sapientia Hungarian University of TransylvaniaDavid Sorfa, University of EdinburghCalum Watt, King's College LondonBruce Williams, William Paterson University
