Title = {Polish Cinema Today A Bold New Era in Film},
Pages = {382 pages},
Publisher = {Rowman & Littlefield},
Year = {2021},
Month = {August},
ISBN = {9781793641663},
Abstract = {Structured according to key themes, Polish Cinema Today
analyzes the remarkable innovations in Polish cinema
emerging a decade after the 1989 dissolution of the Soviet
bloc, once its film industry had evolved from a socialist
state enterprise into a much more accessible system of film
production, with growing expertise in distribution and
marketing. By the early 2000s, an impressive, diverse cohort
of filmmakers broke through the gridlock of a small set of
esteemed, aging auteurs as well as the glut of imported
Hollywood blockbusters, empowered by the digital revolution
and domestic audience appetite for independent work. Polish
directors today challenge sacrosanct bromides about national
and gender identity, Poland's historical martyrdom, the
status of the influential Catholic Church, and the
benevolent family, while investigating the phenomena of
migration and sexuality in their full complexity. Each
thematic chapter places these recent films within a
historical/cultural context nationally and transnationally,
and designs its analyses of specific works to engage general
audiences of film scholars, students, and
cinephiles.},

Pages = {1-216},
Publisher = {Routledge},
Year = {2016},
Month = {January},
ISBN = {9781138955578},

Abstract = {Investigating the genesis of the prosecuted “crimes” and
implied sins of the female performing group Pussy Riot,the
most famous Russian feminist collective to date, the essays
in Transgressive Women in Modern Russian and East European
Cultures: From the Bad to Blasphemous examine what
constitutes bad social and political behavior for women in
Russia, Poland, and the Balkans, and how and to what effect
female performers, activists, and fictional characters have
indulged in such behavior. The chapters in this edited
collection argue against the popular perceptions of Slavic
cultures as overwhelmingly patriarchal and Slavic women as
complicit in their own repression, contextualizing
proto-feminist and feminist transgressive acts in these
cultures. Each essay offers a close reading of the
transgressive texts that women authored or in which they
figured, showing how they navigated, targeted, and, in some
cases, co-opted these obstacles in their bid for agency and
power. Topics include studies of how female performers in
Poland and Russia were licensed to be bad (for effective
comedy and popular/box office appeal), analyses of how women
in film and fiction dare sacrilegious behavior in their
prescribed roles as daughters and mothers, and examples of
feminist political subversion through social activism and
performance art.},

introduces and then gives a transcription of an interview
with Anna Mieszkowska, an archivist at the Polish Academy of
Sciences who specializes in collecting materials relating to
Polish cabaret of the interwar and wartime era. The
introduction justifies the historical and cultural
importance of her work and outlines the materials housed in
this unique archive and how they are organized. In the
interview, Mieszkowska chronicles her efforts to document
prewar and émigré cabaret. She began her research
tentatively in the 1980s, despite the inattention given by
Polish theater studies of that time to cabaret and official
disapproval. Mieszkowska’s research and related travels
became easier after the fall of communism, but more urgent
due to the advancing age of surviving performers. The
interview also touches on Mieszkowska’s personal
engagement with her subjects and their surviving friends and
family, the place of cabaret in Polish culture, and
comparison of Polish cabaret traditions with those of other
countries, ending with an appended list of significant
cabaret artists.</jats:p>},

Abstract = {In the turbulent context of interwar Polish politics, a
period bookended by the right-wing nationalists' repression
of an ethnically heterogeneous state, several popular
high-quality cabarets persisted in Warsaw even as they
provoked and defied the nationalists' harsh criticism. In
their best, most influential incarnation, Qui pro Quo
(1919-1932) and its successors, these literary cabarets
violated the right's value system through their shows'
insistent metropolitan focus, their stars' role-modeling of
immoral behavior and parodic impersonation, and their
companies' explicitly Jewish-Gentile collaboration. In the
community of the cabaret, which was even more bohemian and
déclassé than that of the legitimate theater, the social
and ethnic antagonisms of everyday Warsaw society mattered
relatively little. Writers and players bonded with each
other, above all, in furious pursuit of fun, fortune,
celebrity, artistic kudos, and putting on a hit show. This
analysis details how the contents and stars of Qui pro Quo
challenged right-wing values. Its shows advertised the
capital as a sumptuous metropolis as well as a home to an
eccentric array of plebeian and underworld types, including
variations on the cwaniak warszawski enacted by comedian
Adolf Dymsza. Its chief female stars-Zula Pogorzelska, Mira
Zimińska, and Hanna Ordonówna-incarnated big-city glamour
and sexual emancipation. Its recurring Jewish
characters-Józef Urstein's Pikuś and Kazimierz Krukowski's
Lopek-functioned as modern-day Warsaw's everymen,
beleaguered and bedazzled as they assimilated to city life.
Qui pro Quo's popular defense against an exclusionary
nationalism showcased collaborative artistry and diverse,
charismatic stars. © 2012 Sage Publications.},

Abstract = {Americans Experience Russia analyzes how American scholars,
journalists, and artists envisioned, experienced, and
interpreted Russia/the Soviet Union over the last century.
While many histories of diplomatic, economic, and
intellectual connections between the United States and the
Soviet Union can be found, none has yet examined how
Americans’ encounters with Russian/Soviet society shaped
their representations of a Russian/Soviet ‘other’ and
its relationship with an American ‘west.' The essays in
this volume critically engage with postcolonial theories
which posit that a self-valorizing, unmediated west dictated
the colonial encounter, repressing native voices that must
be recovered. Unlike western imperialists and their colonial
subjects, Americans and Russians long co-existed in a tense
parity, regarding each other as other-than-European equals,
sometime cultural role models, temporary allies, and
political antagonists. In examining the fiction, film,
journalism, treatises, and histories Americans produced out
of their ‘Russian experience, ' the contributors to this
volume closely analyze these texts, locate them in their
sociopolitical context, and gauge how their producers’
profession, politics, gender, class, and interaction with
native Russian interpreters conditioned their authored
responses to Russian/Soviet reality. The volume also
explores the blurred boundaries between national identities
and representations of self/other after the Soviet Union’s
fall.},

Abstract = {When the United States and the Soviet Union joined forces in
World War II, Hollywood undertook an international mission
of daunting complexity. Invaded by the Germans in June 1941,
the Soviet Union ceased being the Third Reich’s willing
partner under the terms of the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact and
became the Allies’ most important, neediest ally,
suffering the brunt of the Germans’ attack along the
war’s lone European front. 1 Because this
enemy-turned-ally remained suspect to the American public,
the Roosevelt administration, through its new Office of War
Information, appealed to the film industry to improve
Russia’s image, “to humanize [its people] and whitewash
Stalinism.” 2 After decades of caricaturing or demonizing
the Soviet Union, Hollywood somehow had to sell American
moviegoers a sympathetic and compelling Soviet
experience.},

Abstract = {Over two decades have passed since the fall of the Berlin
Wall and the dismemberment of the Soviet Union, dramatic
events marking the end of a sometimes terrifying, mainly
stultifying, Cold War between two global superpowers. The
Soviet Union’s rapid disintegration into Russia and
breakaway republics in the west and the east, coupled with
the import of shock therapy capitalism, heralded the United
States as the victor. Yet the regional hot wars and economic
crises that have rocked the United States since the Cold War
rendered any declaration of American triumph premature and
simplistic. The troubled aftermath of the Cold War
demonstrates how important it is to dismantle the binary
oppositions that American national agencies honed to
demonize the Soviet enemy-evil empire versus bastion of
freedom, totalitarianism versus liberal democracy,
centralized command economy versus the free
market.},

Bitter Taste of Freedom (2011), which details the domestic
life of the investigative journalist Anna Politovskaya
(1958-2006)- narrate important historical moments of late
Soviet and post-Soviet history through the voices and
stories of Russian characters who seem strangely familiar
and achingly human. Like Dziga Vertov (1896-1954), a
brilliant Soviet pioneer in documentary film, Goldovskaya is
intent on capturing the ineffable essence of life as it
unfolds or is relived through memory and commemoration.
Unlike Vertov, however, Goldovskaya anchors her visual
frames in recognizable plots and familiar narrative patterns
that foreground emotional identification with the lives of
her subjects.},

Abstract = {When Helena Modrzejewska, Poland's premier actress, quit the
Warsaw Imperial Theaters in 1876 for a year's leave of
absence in the United States, she secretly planned an
English-language debut in San Francisco, a sophisticated yet
less demanding theatre town than New York. Her triumph under
the Americanized name of Modjeska at the California Theater
in August 1877 led to almost three decades of American
stardom and critical acclaim as the greatest American
Shakespearean actress of her day. Yet American and Polish
theatre historians have yet to analyze how this accomplished
player managed a bi-national career up until her death in
1909. Modjeska did not abandon Poland for America, but
discovered that the United States best served her
professional and patriotic aims, garnering her greater fame
and fortune as an English-language performer and enabling
her national service in advertising Polish artistic genius
abroad and underwriting Polish theatre at home. This essay
explores how Modjeska retained and enhanced her Polish
stardom by distancing herself from her homeland and
perfecting both overseas and incountry modes of playing the
faithful patriot. © 2010 by The Johns Hopkins University

Abstract = {This essay investigates an instance of the ambiguous overlap
between “artful” nonfiction and historical fiction –
specifically, how the nonfictional Memories and Impressions
of the great Polish/American actress Helena Modjeska
(1840-1909) in fact furnished a quite sophisticated story
that novelist Susan Sontag (1933-2004) in large part claimed
to create in her National Book Award-winning novel, In
America (2000). Sontag argues that the actress’s memoir
functions as a mere “source” undeserving of
acknowledgment and ripe for creative manipulation. As she
remarks in one inteview: “I don’t consider Modjeska’s
memoirs the work of a writer. So what interests me is the
transformation. She’s the source of my character and you
can use a sentence that’s exactly the same because it is
from her words.” Indeed, Sontag resists characterizing her
work as historical fiction, despite the fact that she
exploit the outline of Modjeska’s biography and quotes
directly from the actress’s letters. I rebut Sontag’s
devaluation with a general consideration of the actor’s
memoir as literary genre, an overview of Modjeska’s
ambition and evolution as a writer, and an analysis of
Modjeska’s roleplaying, modes of narration, and
dramatically shaped plot in Memories and Impressions. In
lieu of dismissing Modjeska as source, I read her as author,
and posit Modjeska’s remarkably enduring influence on
biographers and fiction writers fascinated with her life
story (Sontag is the latest and perhaps the most famous of
the actress’s posthumous fans), an influence Modjeska
effects through complex self-characterization (the sensitive
maiden/ambitious, iron-willed star), shifts between
enlightened frame narrator and the quoted confessions of her
letters and diary, and the suspenseful stories (all with
happy ends) of her professional debuts and bold adventure
overseas. In ironic consequence, the writer Sontag’s
award-winning non-historical fiction redounds to the actress
Modjeska’s writing credit.},

of the features of the Congress was a series of national
women's delegations, each of them describing the position of
women in their country. Among others, there was expected a
delegation of ladies from Russian Poland, but none of them
came to Chicago. Apparently they were afraid of the possible
conflict with their government, and they limited their
activity to sending a few statistical notes-ah! Most poor,

1974, soon after his expulsion from the Soviet Union, the
literary scholar Andrei Siniavskii once again deferred to
his created alter ego, the writer Abram Terts, to pass
provocative judgment on the Soviet literary scene. The essay
ascribed to Terts, “Literaturnyi protsess v Rossii,”
reviews unofficial Soviet literature to highlight its
artistic (rather than moral) appeal. As Terts reads it, the
punitive context of this literature—established by Stalin
and enforced to a less rigorous extent through the Leonid
Brezhnev era—inadvertently guaranteed art and the fate of
the artist richness and power: <jats:disp-quote><jats:p>At
this moment the fate of the Russian writer has become the
most intriguing, the most fruitful literary topic in the
whole world; he is either being imprisoned, pilloried,
internally exiled, or simply kicked out. The writer nowadays
is walking a knife-edge; but unlike the old days, when
writers were simply eliminated one after another, he now
derives pleasure and moral satisfaction from this curious
pastime. The writer is now someone to be reckoned with. And
all the attempts to make him see reason, to terrorize or
crush him, to corrupt or liquidate him, only raise his
literary achievement to higher and higher
levels.</jats:p></jats:disp-quote></jats:p>},
