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.

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.
