Over the course of a thirty-year career, Kusturica has navigated a series of geopolitical fault lines to produce subversive, playful, often satiric works. On the way he won acclaim and widespread popularity while showing a genius for adjusting his poetic pitch--shifting from romantic realist to controversial satirist to sentimental jester. Leading scholar-critic Giorgio Bertellini divides Kusturica's career into three stages--dissention, disconnection, and dissonance--to reflect both the historic and cultural changes going on around him and the changes his cinema has undergone. He uses Kusturica's Palme d'Or winning Underground (1995)--the famously inflammatory take on Yugoslav history after World War II--as the pivot between the tone of romantic, yet pungent critique of the director's early works and later journeys into Balkanist farce marked by slapstick and a self-conscious primitivism. Eschewing the one-sided polemics Kusturica's work often provokes, Bertellini employs balanced discussion and critical analysis to offer a fascinating and up-to-date consideration of a major figure in world cinema"--Provided by publisher.Contemporary film directors.791.4302/33092PER004030PER004010BIO005000bisacshBertellini Giorgio1967-611275MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910823868703321Emir Kusturica1137309UNINAThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress06911oam 2200685 c 450 991095618700332120260202090927.0978383826870538382687099783838268705(CKB)3710000000616568(EBL)4419886(MiAaPQ)EBC4419886(MiAaPQ)EBC5782869(Perlego)773224(ibidem)9783838268705(EXLCZ)99371000000061656820260202d2016 uy 0engur|n|---|||||rdacontentrdacontentrdamediardamediardacarrierrdacarrierThe New Third Rome The Russian Orthodox Church and Web 2.0 /Andreas Umland, Jardar Østbø, Pål Kolstø1st ed.Hannoveribidem20161 online resource (293 p.)Soviet and Post-Soviet Politics and Society151Description based upon print version of record.9783838209005 3838209001 Includes bibliographical references.Table of Contents -- Acknowledgments -- On Transliteration, Translations, References and Sources -- Author's preface -- Foreword -- 1.

The medieval idea of Moscow as the ‘Third Rome’ has been fascinating scholars and students of Russia for more than 150 years. Since its rediscovery, ideologists, writers, and politicians ranging from Western critics of Moscow’s foreign policy to ardent Russian imperialists have used the concept as ‘evidence’ of Russian particularism and expansionism. But for the author of the idea of the Third Rome, the Orthodox monk Filofei (Philotheus) of Pskov, it was a religious concept he referred to when criticizing what he saw as the apostasy of his time. Authors of Russian history textbooks often see it as a political, even imperialist idea, whereas specialist medievalists for decades have been arguing that it cannot be regarded as anything else than religious and other-worldly. This book is the first to look beyond this dichotomy between the ‘original religious idea’ of the Third Rome and its ‘use’ for political purposes. Drawing on theories of political myth and concepts of nationalism, Østbø develops a novel analytical perspective. Rather than dismissing political uses of the religious, medieval idea as ‘wrong’, the author analyzes the modern content and ideological function of the myth of the Third Rome. Through case studies of four prominent nationalist intellectuals, the author shows how this messianic myth is used to ‘reinvent’ Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union. These writers use their own constructed image of the Russian nation to demonstrate what Russia ‘should be’ and its allegedly rightful place in the world. Existing in radically diverging versions, the myth of the Third Rome routinely conveys particularism and rabid anti-Westernism. At ‘best’, the myth is used to forge a self-image of the Russians as an essentially isolationist civilization. At worst, it is used to ‘explain’ how the Russians, superior to all other nations, are divinely elected to be the rulers of a world empire.Contemporary mathematics (American Mathematical Society).0271-4132historypoliticssocietyRussianationalismimperialismSoviet UnionhistorypoliticssocietyRussianationalismimperialismSoviet Union320.01Østbø Jardaraut1609082Umland AndreasedtKolstø PålauiMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910956187003321The new third Rome3936139UNINA
