The (Not So) Surprising Longevity of Identity Politics Contemporary Challenges of the State-Society Compact in Central Eastern Europe

The (Not So) Surprising Longevity of Identity Politics Contemporary Challenges of the State-Society Compact in Central Eastern Europe

This book assesses the underpinning role ‘references to identity’ played and continue to play as the powerful mobilising force in domestic politics across the East European region stretching from Estonia to Bulgaria. The EU membership of postcommunist states was to ensure stability prevent conflict and eventually guarantee equality of all citizens regardless of their political preferences or ethnic identities. However the promotion of such norms and values has been secondary to consolidation of state institutions and the societies they serve around ethnocentric narratives of states’ core ethnic groups. The sequel of financial then ‘refugee’ crises has further dented the appeal of the EU’s norms across the region. Even the rhetoric commitment to respect cultural diversity and human rights has been promptly replaced with references to identity and interests of politically relevant groups. Yet nativist and populist rhetoric has been the staple of politics since before the EU accession. The chapters in this edited volume zoom in on politics which forge and live-off their societies’ preoccupation with ethnocentric narratives vesting national identity with persistent relevance and considerable weight across the postcommunist region. The chapters in this book were originally published in the journal East European Politics. | The (Not So) Surprising Longevity of Identity Politics Contemporary Challenges of the State-Society Compact in Central Eastern Europe

Digital Space and Embodiment in Contemporary Cinema Screening Composite Spaces

Digital Space and Embodiment in Contemporary Cinema Screening Composite Spaces

Digital Space and Embodiment in Contemporary Cinema examines how contemporary cinema has represented and engaged with the experience of simultaneously inhabiting digital and material spaces (i. e. composite spaces) in the context of the growing ubiquitousness of digital media and culture. Bringing together a range of key cinematic texts the book examines how these films represent composite space by depicting—often subtly and without explicit reference to technology—what it feels like to live in a world of ubiquitous digital media. The book explores composite spaces through the striking use of elements like colour symbolic graphics and music and covers topics like: music as mediator between levels of experience/perception in visionary films such as Sucker Punch (2011) and Spring Breakers (2012); digital colour as an interface in films including Under the Skin (2013); the integration of digital graphical elements drawn from game spaces into material spaces in films such as Scott Pilgrim vs The World (2010) and Nerve (2016); and films that take place on a computer screen including 2020’s widely discussed Zoom-produced pandemic horror film Host. Through the close analysis of these films the book offers fresh perspectives on conceptual issues of embodiment digital agency and subjectivity. This book is a valuable resource for advanced undergraduates postgraduates and scholars in the fields of film studies digital aesthetics and film theory digital culture and digital media. | Digital Space and Embodiment in Contemporary Cinema Screening Composite Spaces
