Autor Nick Hodgin

Recenzii

"Hodgin ... brings extensive historical and sociological knowledge to his perceptive discussion of complex topics such as nostalgia for the GDR and debates over how its ambiguous history should be represented ... by bringing to the attention of English-speaking readers many less-known films and filmmakers, this readable study provides a valuable resource on recent German film history." * Choice " - contains useful and nuanced readings of the best-known films dealing with themes related to unification, as well as highlighting some equally interesting lesser-known works, in order to provide a rounded picture of German cinema's engagement with these issues in the past 17 years. I am not aware of any other publication that covers such a range of material and this in itself makes the book a valuable contribution to the field." * David Clarke, University of Bath "This is an extremely rich study of the representation of east German identity and the former GDR in post-unification cinema. The author clearly has an encyclopaedic knowledge of the films of this period ... Hodgin's book breaks genuinely new ground." * Sean Allan, University of Warwick "The book reveals an excellent knowledge of German culture and cinema, and combines methodological soundness with an ability to talk about films in a lively way free of jargon. Screening the East should not be missed by anybody interested in German cinema and culture, as well as cinema as discourse on history and space." * Ewa Mazierska, University of Central Lancashire "Screening the East provides insightful readings of contemporary classics such as Good Bye, Lenin! and The Lives of Others alongside films which complement these popular memories of life on the other side of the Wall by an eastern and, arguably, more authentic perspective. This is an engaging and important contribution to German cinema and cultural studies, providing a wealth of contextual detail." * Daniela Berghahn, Reader in Film Studies, Royal Holloway, University of London
