'This book introduces us to many powerful and important movies, from Eastern Europe and Russia, that are far too little known in the English-speaking world.

'This book introduces us to many powerful and important movies, from Eastern Europe and Russia, that are far too little known in the English-speaking world. It widens our knowledge of the ways that body images, and the politics and pleasures of bodies, can be expressed in film.' Steven Shaviro, Wayne State University 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. It draws on the history of the region, as well as Western and Eastern scholarship on the body, and focuses on three areas: the traumatised 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. Ewa Mazierska is Professor of Film Studies at the School of Humanities and the Social Sciences, University of Central Lancashire. Matilda Mroz is Lecturer in Film Studies at the University of Sussex. Elżbieta Ostrowska teaches film at the University of Alberta. Cover image: Cover design: [EUP logo] edinburghuniversitypress.com ISBN 978-1-4744-0514-0 Barcode
