Sergei Eisenstein: Theory, Practice, Method

The work of Sergei Eisenstein has been central to the study of film since before his death in 1948, but some of his most significant work was first published only in the new millennium and is generating rich interdisciplinary scholarship. This seminar explores contemporary Eisenstein scholarship together with Eisenstein's more recently published writings. It aims to place the Eisenstein we are coming to know in the twenty-first century in dialogue with longstanding as well as contemporary debates in film and media theory.
