Sound, Speech, Music in Soviet and Post-Soviet Cinema
Edited by Masha Salazkina & Lilya Kaganovsky

"A fascinating study that will make a significant contribution to multiple disciplines." -Nora Alter, author of Projecting History: German Non-Fiction Film 1967-2000

"An invaluable account of sound as a core cinematic modality. With contributions by leading scholars from six countries, this volume marks a new 'sonic turn' in both Slavic and cinema studies and will be a standard reference in sound studies." -Nancy Condee, author of The Imperial Trace: Recent Russian Cinema

This innovative volume challenges the ways we look at both cinema and cultural history by shifting the focus from the centrality of the visual and the literary toward the recognition of acoustic culture as formative of the Soviet and post-Soviet experience. Leading experts and emerging scholars from film studies, musicology, music theory, history, and cultural studies examine the importance of sound in Russian, Soviet, and post-Soviet cinema from a wide range of interdisciplinary perspectives. Addressing the little-known theoretical and artistic experimentation with sound in Soviet cinema, changing practices of voice delivery and translation, and issues of aesthetic ideology and music theory, this book explores the cultural and historical factors that influenced the use of voice, music, and sound on Soviet and post-Soviet screens.

Lilya Kaganovsky is Associate Professor of Slavic, Comparative Literature, and Media and Cinema Studies at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. She is author of How the Soviet Man Was Unmade.

Silent Cinema and the Politics of Space<http://www.combinedacademic.co.uk/silent-cinema-and-the-politics-of-space>
Edited by Jennifer M. Bean, Laura Horak & Anupama Kapse<http://www.combinedacademic.co.uk/silent-cinema-and-the-politics-of-space>

"This volume brings together much new and exciting scholarship on silent cinema. It is a timely and important scholarly intervention that foregrounds several promising new methodologies for examining space, place, and their relative displacements." - Matthew Solomon, University of Michigan

In this cross-cultural history of narrative cinema and media from the 1910s to the 1930s, leading and emergent scholars explore the transnational crossings and exchanges that occurred in early cinema between the two world wars. Drawing on film archives from around the world, this volume advances the premise that silent cinema freely crossed national borders and linguistic thresholds in ways that became far less possible after the emergence of sound. These essays address important questions about the uneven forces-geographic, economic, political, psychological, textual, and experiential-that underscore a non-linear approach to film history. The "messiness" of film history, as demonstrated here, opens a new realm of inquiry into unexpected political, social, and aesthetic crossings of silent cinema.
