Indiana University Press is pleased to announce the recent publication of: Cinepaternity Fathers and Sons in Soviet and Post-Soviet Film Edited by Helena Goscilo and Yana Hashamova "A solid contribution to the fields of Soviet and post-Soviet studies, bringing to light a new understanding of post-Stalinist cinema." <Lilya Kaganovsky, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign This wide-ranging collection investigates the father/son dynamic in post-Stalinist Soviet cinema and its Russian successor. Contributors analyze complex patterns of identification, disavowal, and displacement in films by such diverse directors as Khutsiev, Motylı, Tarkovsky, Balabanov, Sokurov, Todorovskii, Mashkov, and Bekmambetov. Several chapters focus on the difficulties of fulfilling the paternal function, while others show how vertical and horizontal male bonds are repeatedly strained by the pressure of redefining an embattled masculinity in a shifting political landscape. 344 pp., 43 b&w illus. cloth 978-0-253-35458-7 $65.00 paper 978-0-253-22187-2 $24.95 For more information, visit: http://www.iupress.indiana.edu/catalog/product_info.php?isbn=978-0-253-22187 -2 ------------------------------- English Filming, English Writing Jefferson Hunter "Hunter draws attention to some works that have received little critical attention and traces the cultural influences and inflections that make them work. . . . This book provides a fascinating contribution to studies of British cinema but also opens out into much broader concerns regarding national cultures." <Jim Leach, Brock University Jefferson Hunter examines English films and television dramas as they relate to English culture in the 20th century. He traces themes such as the influence of U.S. crime drama on English film, and film adaptations of literary works as they appear in screen work from the 1930s to the present. A Canterbury Tale and the documentary Listen to Britain are analyzed in the context of village pageants and other wartime explorations of Englishness at risk. English crime dramas are set against the writings of George Orwell, while a famous line from Noel Coward leads to a discussion of music and image in works like Brief Encounter and Look Back in Anger. Screen adaptation is also broached in analyses of the 1985 BBC version of Dickensıs Bleak House and Merchant-Ivoryıs The Remains of the Day. 376 pp. cloth 978-0-253-35443-3 $65.00 paper 978-0-253-22177-3 $24.95 For more information, visit: http://www.iupress.indiana.edu/catalog/product_info.php?isbn=978-0-253-22177 -3 ------------------------------- For Instructors: If you are interested in adopting these books for course use, please see our exam copy policy: http://www.iupress.indiana.edu/catalog/information.php?info_id=122&meid=122 ------------------------------- Laura Baich Electronic Marketing Manager Indiana University Press 812-855-8287 | 812-856-0415 (fax) online: http://iupress.indiana.edu blog: http://iupress.typepad.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/iupress Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/iupress Celebrating 60 Years of Books with Brains! http://tiny.cc/IUPress60yrs ---- Screen-L is sponsored by the Telecommunication & Film Dept., the University of Alabama: http://www.tcf.ua.edu
