Literature, Cinema and Politics 1930-1945: Reading Between the Frames de Lara Feigel

Literature, Cinema and Politics 1930-1945: Reading Between the Frames

Autor Lara Feigel
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 iun 2010 – vârsta de la 22 ani
"Literature, Cinema, and Politics, 1930-1945" is a detailed study of the relationship between politics, literature, and cinema in the 1930s, tracing the unfolding narrative between 1920s cinematic modernism and postwar cinematic neorealism.
The volume explores the rise and fall of a distinct genre of politically committed cinematic literature, which merged high literature with popular narrative and film. It discusses working-class communist novelists and the Auden generation; examines avant-garde Soviet and German Expressionist cinema alongside John Grierson's British documentary movement; and takes a close look at popular British cinema of the 1930s and 1940s. Throughout the book interrogates the genre it simultaneously maps, drawing on cultural theories from the 1920s on to investigate the vibrant crossover between cinema and literature.

Recenzii

Lara Feigel expertly disentangles the historical from the aesthetic in what was the critical moment in the evolution of film - when it began to talk and, more importantly, talk politics. Solidly based in the theory of cinetext which has developed over the last 40 years, and widely knowledgeable about the thirties, Feigel's monograph supplies an excellent foundation for future discussion and research in an increasingly central academic discipline. -- John Sutherland, Lord Northcliffe Professor Emeritus, UCL Lara Feigel expertly disentangles the historical from the aesthetic in what was the critical moment in the evolution of film - when it began to talk and, more importantly, talk politics.
