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.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: Films & TVAuthor: Elbieta OstrowskaRelease Year: 2016 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
